I’m Going To Start Calling Myself A Feminine Energy Lifestyle Coach And Selling My Services Which Are

Casual reminder that many leaders who were opposing the Nazis in 1939 were also turning away Jewish refugees like the ones on the MS St. Louis.

So no, it's not enough to dislike and meme about punching nazis past and present solely on the basis of their fascism (not to mention it shows intellectual laziness that you can't bring up other fascist leaders).

And reminder that the Soviets only got pissed at the Nazis when they themselves got invaded.

So yes, if you've parrotted antisemitic tropes recently, it's really gonna call into question how much your objection is because you actually care... and how much is because now you are gonna be affected (or alternatively it's just because you have a new low-hanging fruit pet cause).

Sometimes it's really really concerning how much anti-psychiatry and anti-recovery rhetoric exists-- and for once I'm not just talking about endos, but even within the OSDDID internetsphere, especially in actively pro self dx circles. It's not to say that you can't or shouldn't work on things away from a healthcare team, but with chronic and intensely debilitating disorders it is rare, if not impossible to fully be "fine" without help.

Like. If you're experiencing dissociative amnesia or memory/identity issues in general (even when caused by things as innocuously treated online like ADHD if it's at a debilitating level), you NEED someone who isn't affected by those things in order to have a sense of grounding and heal. And it's vital for that to be someone who has a baseline understanding of how dissociative disorders work.

My caseworker calls are sometimes the only thing giving me any sense of the passage of time, and she remembers things during calls that I completely forget or dissociate through. Not even my partner can consistently provide this because of her time blindness, vs the professional who reaches out, doesn't have a disorder affecting her memory, and takes notes during our calls.

My therapy visits, as infrequent as they've been lately, are some of the only reason why we've made progress toward one of our alters no longer making contact with our abusers when she fronts, and that fight isn't over yet. My partner can't stop her from doing it-- she'll wait until they're asleep. They also don't have the resources or bandwidth to address with her why doing this is bad, and if they intervene incorrectly it increases the chance that one day I wake up in another state.

I get from firsthand experience that healthcare, especially in the US, is notoriously inaccessible, and in some places the facilities available are full of inexperienced, incompassionate tools who don't care about their patients. But instead of using that as an excuse to stop trying, instead of pushing others into not seeking care and not trusting doctors, that needs to get channeled into finding and providing resources.

Many states have government funded healthcare available for those below the poverty line. Many facilities offer payment scaling plans even without insurance. A fair amount of insurance companies that "don't cover this" will make exceptions if you go through other channels and get professional referrals. It's not easy, it's not always free, and it's not fast. For those underage, it may be awhile before you can legally access it.

But for the love of all that is sacred on this burning planet, do NOT discourage trauma survivors from trying to get psychiatric help over the potential of a bad experience or a bad doctor. You are not helping people heal and learn to love themselves. You are creating paranoia and enforcing a regressive mentality that can prevent someone from reaching out before its too late.

to all the radfems who idolize JK Rowling... does her going after asexual people open your eyes to how evil she is or are we really that far gone???

"you can't find me annoying or the conservatives win!" is an opinion a disturbing number of people have

TRAs will be like "omg I love women 🥰" and be talking about full-on men with dicks and balls

joe biden, you stupid fuck. listen to me. Crimes are legal for sitting presidents as long as they’re official actions. Listen: Joe. You have one chance

Gender non conforming kids do not need fixed. Not by conservatives telling them they should fit the gender role society attached to their sex. And not by liberals telling them they need to go on puberty blockers so they can transition to the other gender/sex. Literally just leave them alone

appreciate the fuck outta HBO for having the white lotus highlight transgender fetishism the way it did last night; negative and toxic and harmful

i find it genuinely absurd that forced-birthers expect us to treat the fetus as an individual. “what about the baby’s body and choice?” that is literally something attached to her organs the fetus is literally part of the woman’s body and OF the woman’s body like god did not put it there for safekeeping her body is fucking constructing it. it cannot be legally or physically independent from her—the fetus IS still her you goddamn fucking morons.
