imagine livestreaming, or even bringing, your cell phone with you when you “storm the capitol” to “bring down the deep state”

big brains don’t undestand the cool phrases they took from lefties

I mean, just get a mask that actually works well, and you won’t need to wear 2.

not lost forever: privatized, and sold to a patchwork of rich europeans. There’s no money in destroying art, only in selling it.

Which means, one day, it can be taken back.

Psychiatry, too, has a history one might call…ableist.

I mean, what else would you call incarcerating people? Justified?

For example: I grew up with symptoms of issues with eating since a very young age. Every time, whether I saw a primary care provider, or the psychologists and psychiatrists they referred me to, they always decided that it was because my mother decided to get divorced around that time, and that I was anorexic, depressed, crazy, etc. Eventually they gave up, and I stopped going to therapy after a few years. I was very young during this time, and had no agency within the process.

15 years later, I almost died. Most pain I’ve ever woken up my life. They took me into surgery, with no idea what was wrong with me exactly, probably appendicitis but who knows was their guess.

When I came out, I was told the surgeon had discovered I was born with a condition that resulted in me, as per the typical etiology, develop eating impairment around the time I was about 2 years old. Exactly when I had started exhibiting symptoms. So… it was the result of a non-psychological condition, in terms of the disease etiology. It should have been diganosed by a GI specialist long ago, according to the doctors I consulted afterwards, and most people who have it are diagnosed at a young age. I, somehow, survived for a decade and a half without dying of starvation or being institutionalized. I should have died, because they left me for dead, due to the systemic problems in the psychological sciences and medicinal fields associated.

They said I was insane. And yet, they missed the obvious and direct cause of my issues, because they had placed me and my single mother in their gendered psychiatric boxes and refused to provide any other form of care.

The statute of limitations had passed long ago, so I was unable to sue the doctors, or get any form of accountability from them, despite my investigation of and effort toward the matter.

Your personal experiences aren’t the unitary basis of reality. It offends you when people criticize a system of power imbalance? Sorry, but that doesn’t mean people will stop discussing it. The rest of us have valid lived experiences as well, and opinions which are well-founded as yours.

Wow that’s pretty smart of them.

People should start doing that during demonstrations to avoid doxxing etc

This is probably a world history course, for example in my schooling those were different subjects.
