There's a mistake I see a lot of people in the mental health community make and in all honesty, it's one I've made myself. But I think we should really work on it. And that's saying "if this were a physical illness, wouldn't you care?"

I've learned that no actually, people wouldn't care. Katelyn Weinstein (theADHDprincess on Twitter) is a neurodiversity acceptance activist who really put this in perspective for me. She said that it's actually more an issue of longevity than physical vs mental health.

If you're having a bad day people will generally be understanding. But when you're experiencing chronic depression and you have many bad days people lose sympathy.

In the same respect people may be understanding when you've broken a bone that will heal properly or when you have a cold that will go away soon in ways they simply won't understand when you have chronic pain or need to use a wheelchair. They may send chicken soup for a temporary situation, but when you need consistent accomodations it's an entirely different story.

I understand that from our perspective it looks like people care more about physical health than mental health, but it's good to remember that our own perspective is also limiting. Facing ableism doesn't mean you can't be ableist. And I know so many people are not ill-intentioned when they say this. I know I wasn't. But we can't discount the lived experiences of physically disabled people. If we want true equality we need to be united and we need to listen to those with physical disabilities and illnesses. And those with physical disabilities and illnesses (some of which are also invisible) have said that they are not given proper accomodations either.

So let's be united and fight for equality and accomodations for everyone, no matter what their illness or disability may be.

Really excellent workmanship. See the way they've steadily graded the surface to reduce pothole formation? Shame it goes both unmaintained and unused. Fuck this wasteful society

I recently learned that Julia Child’s “The French Chef” tv series is free on YouTube and started watching it and I can see why people liked her so much.

She’s like here’s how you do it the “proper” way but if you don’t have time for that here’s how to trick people into thinking you didn’t use canned soup. Can’t get this bottle open. Well while I’m here with this problem here’s how you get a stupid bottle open. Here’s how you chop an onion step by step. I know it looks scary but you can do it. It’s simpler than it looks. I made this ahead of time because you don’t want to watch me stir something for 20 minutes. Here’s what goes good with this dish.

She’s very straightforward and honest about what she’s doing and isn’t afraid to tell you to use canned stuff if that’s what you have or explain how to do things easier. I think she’s still worth watching today. I’m gonna use some of her tips for making onion soup the next time I make it. I think the tip she gave about adding oil to your butter might solve some problems I’ve had in the past with it.

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.

I just think it's fascinating that Balthier FFXII and Raphael BG3 are both the rebellious sons of lunatic evil scientists, wear fancy embroidered vests, and think of themselves as the leading man, yet because Balthier FFXII drank his Respecting Women Juice and Raphael BG3 Did Not, their narratives go in wildly different directions
