If I were the Vatican, I would enter Eurovision and completely refuse to go along with the spirit of it and every year our entry would just be Gregorian chants or other sacred music

There's an ancient religious tale involving three little pigs and a big bad wolf that provides a mythical explanation for this phenomenon
@AsFarce
A lot of popular advice basically boils down to blaming the victim, “do not be afraid to seek help”… what help?! There is no help! And quite frankly being afraid of interacting with the medical system is often very warranted
@Pupgirl_Khanate
I believe they found some well-preserved big bad wolf burials and some of the specimens show clear signs of pulmonary scarring. Disturbingly, one of the wolves was dressed in the garb of an old human woman.
do not say “white transfems” when what you mean is “nerdy online-poisoned transfems with utterly rancid vibes” you are erasing all of us nerdy online-poisoned transfems with utterly rancid vibes *of color*

Italian uses the same words to refer to winds:
majjistral=maestrale
tramuntana=tramontana
grigal=grecale
punent=ponente
ivant=levante
ibiċ=libeccio
xlokk=scirocco
nofsinhar=mezzogiorno (same meaning but not cognate)

People think doctors need access to all the information to make correct clinical decisions, but the only real way is if they are given a carefully curated set of information that manipulates them into making the right decisions
M.E. 100% ruined my wife’s life, it will probably end it soon and transitively my own.
It is precisely because our lives have value that we can say they were ruined and we can be indignant about the neglect and abuse from institutions.
Also because it's on my brain, I don't like things that say Long COVID ruins lives. I get how upsetting it is to have huge life changes due to health. I have a disease that does some horrifying shit to my body. But my life is valuable as fuck, not ruined.

I honestly think the cultural gap between the average Continental European immigrant and WASPs in the 1800s was greater than that between Chinese and Indians and Whites and in the modern days

oh lol didn’t realise it was a video, thought it was a gif.
That sounds pretty close to how I would say it yeah, it’s a bit more fronted, but the American pronunciation is too backed. Ultimately the Italian A is just in the middle of the two.
telling a Hindu trans girl she's a sinner
vaishnava: noo what about Mohini, what about Shikhandi, you've been influenced by Abrahamic thinking!!
shaiva: noo Lord Shiva accepts everyone, He is Bholenath!!
smarta: uhm ackshually… 🤓
shakta: yes i’m a very bad girl 😈
telling a Jewish trans girl she's a sinner
reform: "my rabbi and cantor are literally lesbians and dating"
conservative: *mumbles something about checking the responsa*
modox: "do you see anyone else here who can do chazarat ha'shatz?"
@Sam_Pflugrath
It’s so frustrating that we have to do these one at a time. You tell ppl to stop saying being gay is a white thing and they start saying being trans is a white thing. You tell them to knock that off and they start staying poly/furry/drugs/kink is a white thing..

The goal of suicide prevention is protecting society from guilt, hence why the main “tool” is telling people to seek help, it reassures non-suicidal people that the problem is being taken care of.
Just realised how deranged the disability/delivery apps discourse is from the point of view of familiar caregivers, we work full-time and are literally unpaid, “you’re not entitled to servants” I AM THE FUCKING SERVANT
@MrTopple
“It also recommends “opioids for moderate to severe pain” – just in case you want to make your ME patient an opioid addict.”
I really don’t think it was necessary to stigmatise pain medication in this, many can and do use opioids for pain without becoming “addicts”..

I think older trans women should be able to extrajudicially drag younger trans women away from their devices if they become terminally online
@useless_priest
Bait and switch tactic where they make statements that can be stretched to extract a reasonable interpretation when challenged, but will generally lead to a very different one that can be used to further medical abuse.

Currently the US and Russia alone are stockpiling thousands of age gaps. If all these age gaps were launched, it’s likely human civilisation would end forever.

Didn’t Keynote start out as that specifically in fact (a software for SJ to make WWDC slides), before being released to the public? Or maybe I’m misremembering

Therapists always give me lists of words, as if the problem were a lack of vocabulary! It’s like if the optician insisted to teach me the alphabet instead of prescribing me glasses!

While I’m not a drug exceptionalist and I think all drugs should be legal, there is something particularly pathetic about banning the cultivation of naturally occurring plants.
It’s frustrating to oppose MAID but also disagree with pretty much the entire moral framework of almost all other opponents.
People have the right to be irrationaland the reverse of this is a worse slippery slope than giving doctors the right to kill.
German healthcare isn’t so bad but you need to actively bully the doctors into giving you medicine. Just full on dumb American “I will cause a scene in this emergency room if you do not give me something non-homeopathic this instant”
NO ACTUALLY OESTRADIOL IS SUPER ILLEGAL AND DANGEROUS, ONLY A LEVEL 5000 DOCTOR CAN SAFELY ADMINISTER IT, I'M SO SCARED WON'T A DOCTOR PLEASE HOLD MY HAND
Just FYI if you've only recently tuned into this account, despite my presence on Indian trans twitter I'm not Indian myself, I'm just an olive-skinned ethnic Italian who hates Italy.
@sf_mills
What pisses me off is that cannabis is the top DIY treatment for chronic nausea and vomiting, but in their typical fashion doctors will take a rare side-effect and run with it and use it to dismiss chronically ill people
@adamfare1996
I can’t even begin to understand how anyone can believe therapy cannot harm patients… therapists are people, and people hurt people, surely elevating a group of professionals to such a degree where we cannot conceive of them as potentially harmful is a recipe for abuse…
@thechronicchloe
They don’t believe this on the basis of any evidence, but rather they’ve developed a pathological fear of severe illness because it suggests an “attack” on their safety
A guy in the Jehovah's Witness community I grew up in turned out to have been secretly married to a second family in Turkey where he was a devout muslim instead of a devout Jehovah's Witness. That was so absurd his first wife wasn't even sure if she should leave him for it or not
C is Latin, the root of all modern languages, the whole universe used to speak it.
C++ is French, it’s Latin with fancy rules, used by the elite around the world & in specific circles.
JavaScript is English, everybody speaks it, most speakers speak it poorly and others don’t

Phase 1: MECFS is laziness. Nothing should be done.
Phase 2: MECFS is psychosomatic. Nothing more than CBT should be done.
Phase 3: MECFS is just permanent damage. Nothing can be done.
No evidence is ever presented for any of these claims of course!
