#They don't need a diversity counsel

[fatphobiabusters]

You know what? I thought I'd seen everything, but I'm literally fucking speechless right now. My university's counseling center is so fucking untrained on fatphobia that they have a pamphlet on "Body Size Diversity and Acceptance," which I had been shocked was offered at all. But I apparently shouldn't have gotten my expectations higher than the depths of the Mariana Trench because, after a very horrible experience with fatphobia in counseling there today, I opened the pamphlet to read that thin people are "oppressed" for being thin. And I am somehow not exaggerating in any fucking way when I say that's exactly what the pamphlet claimed.

They:

Didn't acknowledge fatphobia at all (the pamphlet barely even shows any fat people and makes this entire shitty pamphlet JUST about body image. You know, as if that's all fat people have to fucking worry about. The rest of this list is just about the two circled paragraphs because I do not have the energy to dissect this entire bullshit pamphlet)

Erased fatphobia to talk about "size oppression" which is a concept they made up to pretend that ALL people are oppressed for their size. BULLSHIT.

Act like this pretend "size oppression" they used to erase fatphobia is oppression because "Everyone judges themselves about their size and that's all that's needed to be oppressed for the size you are 😔"

"Size oppression does not spare those who are naturally thin, either." HUH. HUH. ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT? YOU WANT TO TAKE A SECOND GO AT THAT, BUD?

The pamphlet says thin people are OPPRESSED BY "VOLUPTUOUS AND MUSCULAR IDEALS." BUDDY, YOU CAN'T EVEN FUCKING SAY THE WORD FAT. THE WORD "FAT" IS NOT WRITTEN EVEN ONCE IN THIS PAMPHLET, BUT YOU SURE HAD NO PROBLEM WRITING "THIN" EVERYWHERE! AND "VOLUPTUOUS" IS JUST YOUR FUCKING CODEWORD FOR "THIN WITH A BIG ASS." FUCK OFF!

"[Thin people] can be just as dissatisfied with their bodies and themselves as anyone else." HUH. REALLY? YOU'RE GOING TO CLAIM THAT?????

They're the target of people's jealousy and envy, which you use to claim thin people are oppressed, AND THEN NEVER STOP TO FUCKING THINK WITH YOUR BRAIN ABOUT WHY EVERYONE WANTS TO LOOK LIKE THEM?!?!?!?! I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE THERE'S AN INDICATION OF A POWER IMBALANCE SOMEWHERE IN THERE????? SOME REASONS FOR WHY THIN PEOPLE ARE SO PRAISED??? AND THEM BEING PRAISED...IS YOUR DEFINITION OF OPPRESSION?!?!?!

"For no reason other than their body sizes!"

NO REASON?!?!?!?!?!

THERE'S NO REASON WHY FAT PEOPLE LITERALLY KILL THEMSELVES TO BE THIN OTHER THAN FUCKING AESTHETICS?!?!

NOT THE MUTILATION, POLICE BRUTALITY, STARVATION, LACK OF ACCESS TO VITAL RESOURCES LIKE CLOTHES AND HEALTHCARE, FATAL MEDICAL NEGLECT AND ABUSE, BEING LEFT TO DIE IN NATURAL DISASTERS LIKE HURRICANES, COURT JUDGES SAYING IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO RAPE FAT PEOPLE, THE WAGE GAPS, JOB DISCRIMINATION, WORKPLACE HARASSMENT, FORCED SEPARATION OF FAMILIES, NOT BEING ALLOWED TO ADOPT CHILDREN, AND THE LIST GOES FUCKING ON?!?! THIN PEOPLE ONLY EXPERIENCE THINNESS AND NO AMOUNT OF PRIVILEGE OVER FAT PEOPLE?!?!?!?!

I want to kill, maim, strangle, and rip flesh with my teeth right now :)))))

kkir fic idea 💡 might write it or someone else can adopt this and run with it

i work at an australian magistrate court as a paralegal and kkir (my ninja dads) remind me of the police prosecution vs defence lawyer negotiation throwdowns. kakashi is literally all the weird and eccentric lawyer i've ever met (you need to be weird to be sane) and iruka just acts like all the other very nice but firm prosecutors at court to me

imagine hotshot perpetually late but so so brilliant defence barrister kakashi (mr hatake) negotiating a better outcome for his clients. he's always laid back because he knows he's that good, dresses in the same suit every time, gets away with wearing a facemask in court and literally only ever fixes his terrible posture at the bar table and whilst in court. he tried to ask the magistrate to let him salute the coat of arms (instead of bowing like everyone else) when he first got transferred down to the lowly magistrates' court but got promptly shot down (the compromise was the mask). he was working as a top queen's counsel for the private city law firm then got mysteriously transferred to their regional branch in a 'mentoring role' (a bunch of graduated law students interning actually quit their postgrad studies because he was really harsh and had really arbitrary rules tbh). so my man's in a bad mood ALL THE TIME (literally unprovoked) and has no personal assigned paralegals because no one can stand him. his assigned clerk has the patience of a saint and the tolerance for no bullshit (it's rin) he makes outrageous plea offers with prosecution and it's the best/worst time down at court. he also cross examines like the person at the mic personally wronged him, which isn't great if it is a protected person in a family violence case, or any witness at all, but very eye opening to see

down at court you have the sweetest man ever sergeant umino ('please call me iruka') in the dog box(what we call the prosecution office). he has a law degree (admittedly from a nowhere regional university but he is admitted to practice as a legal practitioner) and way too overqualified for the police force, but he wants to make a difference before going to teach full time or practising law full time. he's nice about everything (printers, legal advice, referrals, talking to anyone) except for paperwork which he is anal about. he wields stamps like weapons and every time an informant is shown to have filled out their paperwork wrong he calls them up directly (how does he even have their direct line?) to chew them out, but super nicely. adjournments, unmentionable dates, requests - don't need to provide reasons, iruka will approve. he not-so-secretly made copies of his police badge so paralegals can print documents off the police printers. he always gets snacks and coffees for court registrars and referral officers. he has bags of lollies for little kids. iruka teaches community service and justice studies for the vocational college nearby. he also has the occasional stint as a university lecturer only for first year law kiddies, and teaches also senior high school legal studies electives. beyond stamps and paperwork, he is the law down to the letter, sometimes to the spirit. if the facts look bad, especially if it is family violence or egregious failure to appear/warrants then he would be a hardass to lawyers. my man however is not opposed to diversion especially if the accused are kids.

so like fanon, kakashi brings outrageous plea offers to the dog box whenever iruka is in -- 'can you withdraw [most serious charge]' 'you can't prove that she was fearing for her life' 'he's never had a criminal record so can't you give him a slap on the wrist and send him a bond?' iruka shuts that shit down every time. he has a case of bleeding heart-itis so occasionally they CAN collaborate to help truly at risk offenders to reorient their lives. kakashi complains that iruka agreeing without a yelling match feels worthless but deep down he doesn't mind when iruka isn't in full hate mode AT him. kakashi thought that iruka would be all snobbish because police prosecutors who hold law degrees tend to act like they're better than everyone else but iruka is overall down-to-earth, hi-i'm-here-to-help. can't push him around though, but he's all about the learning experience so he encourages postgrad law kids and volunteers to have a go at him. for the real thing, defence lawyers groan good-naturedly when they hear he's in the dog box. kakashi seems to be the only who delights in riling him up, but in the rare instance that everyone agrees BUT the magistrate says otherwise and hands down a harsher sentence, he would be handing up paperwork for a contest hearing SO FAST kakashi wouldn't have time to consult with the client. there's a deal between him and kakashi for a stack of signs form 11As can be dealt out when absolutely needed. despite going at each other's throats on the clock, sooo many people have seen them getting lunch together or just talking about their mutual student naruto.

in this universe naruto did not complete high school, went through to vocational studies, took a pathway to uni instead. somehow he, sakura and sasuke end up at the same law firm (naruto is a bit older than the other two but acts precisely like a teenage eshay ALL THE TIME). why does he want to practise criminal law? because it looks cool and he wants to make the bar. his mum is a judge and his dad is a speaker of the senate/cabinet member so... it runs in the family. sasuke is following alongside the traditional asian career choice: doctor, lawyer or engineer. my man hates maths with a passion so lawyer it is. i know it's weird that sakura would be doing a law degree knowing she could be doing a med degree but hear me out: i met and know and am friends with girls who studied double degree law/biomed, finish their law degree, said fuck it I'll be a lawyer what's so bad, otherwise i can come back, and now making big massive bucks. though i imagine sakura will specialise in personal injury cases as well as mental health tribunals, then might go back to university for her med degree. she will be that cousin who lived 6 lives already - was a doctor and a lawyer and your mother would not stop comparing you to her. she needs a bit of instinct training but her academics are spotless. sasuke is ruthless but can't connect with clients. naruto maybe brash and loud but he plays on people's heartstrings like a conductor when presenting a bail app or plea. everything is the way it is so that iruka can move naruto's admission to become a lawyer when he applies for admission at the supreme court

anyways iruka will retire from police work to teach full time, maybe sign on to work for a community legal centre to appear for bail apps for remanded offenders picked up in the cells. he accidentally yelled at kakashi one day to go out and kakashi thought it was too funny to not go along with. now they raise 8 dogs, 3 full grown adults and all of iruka's students together. they fight about everything, but might slip into really formal legalese (passover aggressive fuck-you) when they're being annoying or really pissed off. naruto sometimes has to adjudicate these fights and he can't stop being scared for his LIFE.

kakashi: your honour, my learned colleague here had erred in his submission that i had, conclusively, not promised such things

iruka immediately pulling out receipts: your honour, may i submit evidence contradicting otherwise

(they were fighting about whose turn it is to do the dishes. there were only oral agreements in place but once you're both lawyers you just get used to writing everything down and signing to bring up in an argument later)

(iruka also cross examines kakashi for funsies, but they mainly shelf this for when arguments are bad and they need to pull out the big guns)

anyways if anyone ends up writing this please tag me

it's not so much that you people need to go outside as it is you need to speak to anyone but your insulated counsel of highly specific desperately online friends and mutuals. there's a lot of people out there nothing like you and some of y'all are clearly doing a very bad job at speaking to a diverse range of human beings. you don't have to suck off the first cunt you see or stand and listen to bigoted rants but maybe log onto some other site and chat up your like passably cool old school pal or something idk. talk to your coworkers. make small talk with a stranger. speak to anyone else for 15min about anything. you can do it online too who cares just talk to someone new

Do you think it's correct to divide school shooters into two categorizes like Peter Langman has done? psychopathic and psychotic?

-🦑

hello, my squid friend 🦑 thank you for your question and your time.

i don’t think it’s necessarily incorrect to categorize. in psychology, we have a tendency to categorize behaviors into classes; i think it’s often for organizational purposes, but those classes are often based on human judgement and opinion, which is always biased (no matter how hard you try). even if you were to feed this information into a computer, a human still has to lay out the perimeters…therefore still making it biased. but the categorization helps us generalize behavioral patterns. the thing about personality and behavior is that it’s so fluid, it’s hard to “capture” them correctly.

with that being said, i think dr. langman is a powerful mind and i respect his opinions because he’s done the work. this does not mean i need to agree with him all the time!

his definition of “psychotic rampage”: “unlike the traumatized shooters, the psychotic shooter came from stable homes with no history of abuse. they had schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, including schizophrenia or schizotypal personality disorder.” he classifies dylan klebold in this categories…i highly, highly disagree with this. dylan, in my opinion, didn’t show any signs of schizotypy.

his thoughts on dylan, which i'll break down in two parts:

first, he states that the condition of this category is that the shooter did not come from an unstable home. i already struggle to accept sue as a reliable narrator; not because i think she is a bad person or anything, but because her perspective is obviously heavily biased. that's not something she can help. however, there were a few signs in her own book that point us toward the home being relatively unstable. they kicked out byron after he was caught with weed. sue and dylan had at least one physical confrontation that we know of. according to dylan's diversion documents, the family yells at each other when there's conflict and he's out of touch with his older brother, byron. dylan was never pushed to attend counseling or seek any sort of treatment when his family acknowledge he suffers with anger and loneliness.

peter langman remarks that these small traits in dylan's behavior mark him as "schizotypal," and therefore, a "psychotic" type. here's the thing: dylan's "neologisms" and words that don't exist, his poor grammer, etc. don't strike me as someone with borderline schizophrenia. dave claims that dylan was a bright young man but...he was literally a teenage boy with bad grammar. sure, he was in the gifted and talented program, but that never translated beyond his youth. he was more interested in working with his hands than putting numbers to paper. as he grew older, dylan stopped paying attention in class because he was not interested. he had no interest in trying or succeeding. i don't think he has any jumbled speech or weird narratives that say "SCHIZO!" no, to me, these are the writings of a mid-level intelligence teenage boy. no offense? furthermore, the "jumbled language" and neologisms are few and far between in his writings. the major reference dave makes is "being a god" or being "godlike"

here's a little gaming history tidbit: it was popularized by gamers in the 1990s to say "i'm feeling godlike" whenever they hit a winning streak. eric and dylan were both heavy video gamers. coincidence? maybe? just maybe?? i mean, they were known to adopt bits and pieces of things they enjoyed and apply it into their own lives ("going NBK" being a reference to their favorite movie, natural born killers, for example).

the other part that gets me:

how many times do i have to say it. how many times have i said it? dylan klebold more than likely suffered from ocd. here's another fun example.

"paranoia" is an anxiety-symptom, born out of ocd...which is, you guessed it, an anxiety-based disorder.

his fear of being persecuted by God is...whoa, whoa, whoa...A SYMPTOM OF OCD.

dylan was raised in a religious household. we do know that much. he actually went to church events with zack heckler from time to time, so we know he was involved with religion to some degree. dylan writes in his journal about masturbation and how he's trying to quit because he feels it will boost morally cleanse him:

"My humanity has a foot fetish & bondage extreme liking. I try to thwart it sometimes to no effect. Yet the masturbation has stopped."

i know, funny, foot fetish haha. but seriously. he references "his humanity," or the form of himself that he has disassociated from. he had gotten to the point that he was so upset, so disappointed with himself, that he was separating what he felt was him from the physical actions his body made every day. dissociation is a very common symptom of many emotional disorders. this does not mean he was schizotypal.

i'm just going to reiterate it: OCD. OCD. OCD. OCD. OCD.

i have preached it a million times over and over. the more we over look small behavioral patterns in favor of major, major diagnoses (psycopathy and schizotypy), the more we risk losing intervening at the right time.

read this post i made about why he's just plain wrong about eric being a psychopath. i don't want to keep rambling.

long story short: i see where he is coming from with categorizing dylan. he's a brilliant psychologist and i definitely can see, from his perspective, how he could theorize schizotypy for dylan. for myself, however, it just doesn't seem feasible.

so, to answer your question in short: i don't think categorizing behavior is wrong, but it's very difficult to do right because of the inherent biases we, as humans, researchers, and mental health professional, will always hold. i think it's correct in psychology to create these categories and conduct this kind of research but it is oh-so goddamn important that we do it right!

thank you again for your question. i am happy to serve here as our resident mental health professional. if you're ever curious about more, send me an ask! always happy to rant.

1/18/2024

It was cold and then cold and wet and then warm and wet and then cold and wet again and then just cold.

Positive thing: I had pizza with friends after class.

We always choose the same pizza place because it's cheap and close by but I've gotten a bit attached to it as a hangout place too. We've been going after class every now and then for about a year now.

My day started off bumpy since I had to stay later after work because my coworker didn't get to her tasks. It would be one thing if she was struggling and genuinely seeking help with stuff, but there's been multiple times she'll interrupt me and say something along the lines of "hey, I really want to be able to get to my homework, so can you do this task for me?" I don't even care she does homework during work hours (I do the same thing, but only after I finish my work stuff) but don't push things onto other people just to suit your own needs. It's annoying to have my boss enable her too and make me and our other coworker do what she can't, although I get that these tasks are time-sensitive and need to be accurate so in the moment she doesn't have much of a choice. But still.

Class ended early at least. I think our professor doesn't really know what's going on because she reads the slides like she's never seen them before but it's fine honestly. I could use a break from classes that expect too much from us.

Oh yeah, at like 10:30pm one of the people from my prac texted and was like, do you want my last client? And I was like uhh. Sure? (I had an empty slot since one of mine canceled.) And she was like okay cool, I'm going to call people to get them to switch now :) and I'm thinking girl at 10:30 at night?? The clinic is closed. She went on to tell me she didn't think she was a good fit for the client and to tell me "ahead of time" that the client is dealing with trauma, which like, yeah duh okay. And she said the client would be "really good for experience" but she didn't want to work with a kid client and she "doesn't need the client hours" and all these other things.

I don't know, I didn't really like her tone about the whole situation. I kept thinking about how she must've really not wanted to work with this client because she's calling in the middle of the night to get her switched, and it's only been a day since she first met her. And I didn't like how she talked as though trying to sell them off to me just for "experience", or for "hours". This is the kind of tone I hear a lot in my counseling program, and I never know how to clearly define my discomfort with it - on one hand, I understand the thought process of if you can't give best services to someone you should give them to someone who can, but on the other, this is the part of your training in this field to learn how to help clients of all sorts. "Difficult" (I say this with very big air quotes) clients can't just get shuffled around forever. They deserve to have someone reach out to them too and say, I will help you.

I don't think my classmate was being hurtful on purpose or anything, and I can't fault anybody for wanting to work with their population of choice. It's just not the line of thinking I really agree with for myself. I see it more like, if you are entering a helping profession, you especially shouldn't be discriminatory with when and who you give your help to. Imagine being told you're too much of a niche case to be helped and then being shuttled along somewhere else, where you may or may not get rejected too. At least where we are in our training, I think it's best to exercise your empathy and stretch your skills as much as possible across as many diverse people as possible while we still have the safety net of our program to catch us if we mess up.

Anyways. I said I would be happy to see that client if she didn't want to. We'll see how that works out.

[hybrid-machine]

Started anti-depressants, such a gentle symbiosis with my brain.. the hypersensitivity and existential dread just gone. I feel like a regular person, not numb, just as if I rewound time to a naïver time. Quite content and stable. Amazing. I should have done this so long ago.

I'm reflecting on how far I've come. I'm nearly a counsellor. I have been counselling real people at placement, it feels great! Natural. I'm learning so so much. I'm closer to my partner than ever, co-witnessing the darkest times possible.

I've done so much internal work. So much relationship work. So much life maintenance practice. So much resilience through some of the darkest, bleakest moments of fear and dread and extreme emotions. Just this year I discovered I'm autistic. Life makes so much more sense. I nearly finished my academic journey. I'm tackling mental health with new found persistence, assertiveness, expression, tactfulness, acceptance, and gentleness. Healing is fking hard work. I just disassociated/numbed myself my whole life. Now, I get to rewrite that narrative.

Sure, I've fallen. Injured myself physically a few times (by accident! Hypermobility and autism, yo). Felt the chronic overwhelm of neurotypical society compressing me into a corner. Felt my PCOS body just aggravating my trauma/emotional extremes. Feeling myself dragged into hell screaming.

I feel more confident, more assertive, more communicative, more proactive, more able to ask for help. More able to redraw boundaries. I feel inspired, motivated, a little bit more engaged with the world and with myself, my friends and family. I don't want or need to hide anymore. My pains been aired to my community. The pain I kept so deep out of guilt of harming others with it. Running away when people would get too close.

I'm still me, but I've unlocked some new attitudes through digging up the armoured layers that were holding me down. So I'm also definitely not me that I look at photos from my 20s. I also know there are many new decades to unlock.

I just feel so much more cognitive and empowered. Trauma work, a thirst for learning, diverse experiences and cultures, supportive friends, and 9 years of academia have really helped me foster a strong mind. Not plagued by society's anti-human attitudes. But respectful of everyones journeys. Felt myself bump against experts and authorities with my own insight and realisation that I am powerful and have a voice when being made disempowered or exploited. And that not everyone has our best interests at hand. And to be direct.

Yeah baaaaaby! Let's do this, we got this.

[victory-rising-astrology]

Everyone who practices astrology has a responsibility to behave ethically, not just professional astrologers.

When one person represents astrology in any way, and especially if you are presenting it to an online following, you are representing astrology in general. EVEN IF you preface what you're saying with telling people that you aren't an astrologer.

I use and firmly believe in the ethics outlined by the IAEA. Everyone in the astrology community has the responsibility to:

I strive to be of benefit and to do no harm to all with whom I interact.

I recognize and honor the diverse cultural backgrounds of others and acknowledge that my background and identity affect my values, attitudes, and beliefs.

I commit to non-discrimination: respecting all people regardless of age, race, ethnicity, culture, language, religious affiliation or beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, physical and mental ability, relationship status and relationship style, socio-economic status, education, or other reasons. 

I maintain professional and ethical boundaries. I am aware of my responsibilities especially in situations where the potential for unequal power dynamics exists.  I set aside my personal wants and needs, that include but are not limited to matters of a sexual, financial or psychological nature when they conflict with the best interests and well-being of others.

I respect the agency and autonomy of all people who seek astrological counsel. 

I maintain professional confidentiality and anonymity when working with others, except in situations where my silence could result in grievous harm to another. 

I refrain from using other people’s birth data without expressed permission unless this data already exists in the public sphere. 

I use language that neither creates false hopes nor speaks in absolutes, and I affirm that every astrological configuration can manifest in a variety of ways. 

I am aware of my astrological expertise and limits, and actively refer people elsewhere when their needs are beyond the scope of my proficiency. 

I respect and appreciate astrology’s diverse traditions, modalities and techniques that have developed throughout history and take care never to disparage another’s approach.

I disclose and continue to improve my astrological and professional skills, including furthering my ethics training.

I never use another’s work without proper attribution and reference. I acknowledge others’ contributions to my ideas and work. 

I keep apprised of the local and national laws and standard business practices as they apply to my business and profession. 

I behave and communicate professionally, regardless of the setting, respecting the dignity of all persons even when in disagreement, and I actively work towards resolving conflicts.

I recognize that my conduct directly impacts the reputation of astrology and strive to conduct myself in a manner that garners respect. I do not use astrology to discriminate or disparage others. 

Please please keep these things in mind when making astrology content here on the internet. With the planet of misery and control in the sign of spirituality, there is going to be a lot more cracking down on astrologers and witches and diviners. Please don't give people reason to label those of us who have started making this our livelihood as fraudulent or malicious.

"you will belong to somewhere you belong naturally."

I remember vividly when I was second year of high school, I used to feel like the outcasted one and it felt sucks until I went for student counseling. And, I told my counseling teacher about my thoughts and feelings yet my teacher told me like this.

"Well, maybe you can try to do their hobbies? Getting to know their interests? Then do the hobbies together."

Well, I didn't know why I couldn't just get it, feeling like that was not a piece of advice that didn't sound right to me personally. What I understood from his saying was,

"Well, you have to try to fit in."

Long story short, I didn't do anything about it and just let myself being engulfed by the loneliness. Yet, I have been grateful to still have few of friends willing to approach me and have great friendship since high school. When I was in the university, there were a lot of people with different backgrounds, beliefs, nationalities, as well as the interests. Surprisingly, I wasn't trying that hard to fit in because there were to diverse and everyone can just engage and talk about anything which is why I love and miss my college life. The social setting allowed me to know different perspective and simultaneously becoming my true self so I felt like I didn't belong to any kind of social groups. Not need to feel ashamed or like a loser when I was going out to stroll around or have meals by myself because I didn't have any pressures of that (althought sometimes I could feel lonely).

Until I returned to my home country and found a job, I am currently working and having a church community. There have been many times that the feeling of being an outcast appeared lately, like how my friends in the community shared in the igstory how they had great time hanging out. This thing really got me trying to be more active because of 'feeling left out' and the tendency to fit in or keep myself updated. Until there was one moment that I feel very exhausting because there was not any significant differences. I realized that I shouldn't force myself to do everything and be too hard for belonging into certain of social groups because eventually and naturally I will find a place where I belong.

I want to re-navigate myself from someone who wants to fit in and try to be others, into someone who just holds the right value and my true personality. Currenty I don't belong to any kind of social groups and when some of colleagues have hangout or great time with each other, I am more like happy for them and delighted to see good moments happening around me.

Well, this post is kinda long but pretty much saying that this platform really becomes a safe space for me to express myself and share my sudden thoughts without any judgements or intervensions from people around me. x

[a-god-in-ruins-rises]

Hello. simply, I am wondering what you believe is the best solution towards preventing gun violence within schools. Not an anti 2A questioner - guns are good and necessary. Nonetheless, the plague of these shootings has got to go..

i answered a similar question like a week ago but i was in a rush so i wasn't able to answer it thoughtfully enough. so i'll answer again.

second, somehow get the media to stop sensationalizing school shooters. i don't know exactly how this would be done because of the first amendment but i'm sure we could figure out something. even if it's just some industry wide self-regulation or something.

i think these two things would have the largest effect /directly/.

however, i believe that school shootings (and mass shootings in general) are really symptoms of a much larger issue: moral and social decay. and i can't take anyone seriously who doesn't take /that/ issue seriously. because without addressing that you're only addressing the symptoms, not the disease itself.

moral decay sounds ambiguous but you know what i mean. everyone knows what it means. it's shorthand for how disconnected, nihilistic, and narcissistic our society has become. we are more isolated and atomized than ever. we have no social trust. no community. wealth inequality. a mental health crisis. criminals walking our streets. families are broken. no one believes in anything. our media glorifies materialistic greed and self-indulgence.

then we act surprised when our society produces broken people full of rage and resentment?

so, some things that could help the /real/ issue which might help the issue of school shootings /indirectly/:

build denser, walkable communities. increase policing and get tough on crime -- clean up communities. invest in mental healthcare (this includes increasing funding for schools to hiring social workers). universal healthcare in general tbh. create a new type of "family planning" that emphasizes making families and making them work (financial resources, discounts on recreational activities, marriage counseling, parent-child counseling, etc). universal basic income. honestly, we should probably start censoring our media again (nothing too draconian but there should be /some/ standard). immigration control (i know the libs hate to hear it but ethnic diversity is negatively correlated with social trust). tax reform. land reform. education reform (more civic and patriotic oriented and also more emphasis on extracurricular activities and community-building). make my cult the state religion (i'm mostly memeing here but i do sincerely believe america is in desperate need of a new post-christian religious awakening). protectionism (bring back jobs that pay well).

first, it's important to note a few things.

most mass shootings are not school shootings but gang-related. school shootings are extremely rare statistical outliers -- you're about as likely to be killed in a school shooting as you are to be killed by lightning. guns used to be more accessible and there were virtually never any school shootings until recently. it seems clear to me that this is some type of social contagion more than anything.

none of this is to say that mass shootings aren't an issue or that we shouldn't try to mitigate them. the point is, this is a sudden and relatively recent phenomenon and, while tragic, it is not something to lose our minds over. if you're paranoid about school shootings you need to ask yourself why you're not also paranoid about lightning or cars or plane crashes or random animal attacks. and if you /are/ paranoid about those things then maybe you're just an anxious person and should probably seek therapy.

we can't live in fear. speaking of alcohol, alcohol causes a lot of harm. but we, as americans, have decided that it's worth the risks. that there is some inherent /good/ in having access to alcohol. that the benefits of having access to alcohol outweigh the harm it causes. we are a free people. and freedom is dangerous. there is more to life than maximizing "harm reduction."

but now for some possible mitigating solutions

first, we need to secure our schools the same way we secure our courthouses or airports. our schools are just as important as these institutions and we should protect them as such. this should be the bare minimum standard.

second, somehow get the media to stop sensationalizing school shooters. i don't know exactly how this would be done because of the first amendment but i'm sure we could figure out something. even if it's just some industry wide self-regulation or something. but getting them to stop plastering the names/faces of the shooters everywhere and publishing their "manifestos" and all that would go a long way.

i think these two things would have the largest effect /directly/.

however, i believe that school shootings (and mass shootings in general) are really symptoms of a much larger issue: moral and social decay. and i can't take anyone seriously who doesn't take /that/ issue seriously. because without addressing that you're only addressing the symptoms, not the disease itself.

moral decay sounds ambiguous but you know what i mean. everyone knows what it means. it's shorthand for how disconnected, nihilistic, and narcissistic our society has become. we are more isolated and atomized than ever. we have no social trust. no community. wealth inequality. a mental health crisis. criminals walking our streets. families are broken. no one believes in anything. our media glorifies materialistic greed and self-indulgence.

then we act surprised when our society produces broken people full of rage and resentment? i've heard someone describe it as a "slow motion riot" and riots are the voice of the unheard. well, our society is sick and disconnected so there are more "unheard" than ever.

so, some things that could help the /real/ issue which might help the issue of school shootings /indirectly/:

build denser, walkable communities. increase policing and get tough on crime -- clean up communities. invest in mental healthcare (this includes increasing funding for schools to hiring social workers). universal healthcare in general tbh. create a new type of "family planning" that emphasizes making families and making them work (financial resources, discounts on recreational activities, marriage counseling, parent-child counseling, etc). universal basic income. honestly, we should probably start censoring our media again (nothing too draconian but there should be /some/ standard). immigration control (i know the libs hate to hear it but ethnic diversity is negatively correlated with social trust). tax reform. land reform. education reform (more civic and patriotic oriented and also more emphasis on extracurricular activities and community-building). make my cult the state religion (i'm mostly memeing here but i do sincerely believe america is in desperate need of a new post-christian religious awakening). institute a new militia system (kinda memeing but also serious). protectionism (bring back jobs that pay well).

basically just reform society bro. our society is deeply sick and requires some pretty fundamental change.

#until then all we can do is mitigate school shootings how i mentioned above #otherwise we just have to accept them as an inevitable but unpredictable part of life

Yunho's Latest Interest

An ATEEZ fanfic by AbsentCaryatid

Yunho forms a meaningful friendship with the reader met through his interest in art.

1K words, Content note: teen rated, aromantic, older, and gender neutral reader, food, unrelated vomit mention, reference to sex

~

You had come to the awareness of the world of K-pop idols through your collaboration with T.O.P of BIGBANG. Once he mentioned in a Prestige interview how helpful you had been when he wanted to expand the diversity of his private art collection, there had been a boom in other stars making their way to your gallery that specialized in the works of women and nonbinary artists.

While some singers did not actually care about what they were purchasing, just trying to liven up their selfies at home with something artistic in the background, you came to learn Yunho was nothing like that. His interest was sincere and he arrived at your gallery with some very specific things in mind, including questions about a few recently active but still lesser-known painters. Over a few days out together fit in in around his demanding schedule with ATEEZ, you helped him source paintings and sculptures from multiple gallery owners in the region.

Unlike the older rapper who first brought you to prominence, Yunho was far easier to fall into conversation with. You soon discovered he longed to be known as more than a nice guy, hence the recent interest in art. “And pretty face,” you helpfully supplied.

“Thank you, yes.” He smiled. “People don't know that I have depth, a mind, thoughts. It is all height and the enthusiasm of a puppy.”

“If you don't mind the advice of someone with more life experience, people are going to think what they want to think. Most of us do not have the benefit of a publicity department working on messaging. Take me for instance,” you counseled. “As a single person at my age I have heard people assume I must be sad and desperate. It would do me no favors to jump into the conversation and explain that I am aromantic and very happy with my full life. That would kind of confirm the desperate part if I felt the need to be perceived correctly by strangers of no consequence.”

Yunho nodded. He too had been spoken of inaccurately from articles to online commentary and his first impulse was to correct misconceptions about his sexuality or romantic prospects. He quickly recognized there would be no time for dance practice if he needed to respond to everyone who misrepresented him on the internet.

“So, here is what I do,” you recommended on first meeting, “pursue whatever you like for your own sake. I will happily take you to galleries and museums around the world and share all I know about art if that is what you truly desire. But if it is merely to bolster your image, leave me out of it. Paintings aren't vegetables to be consumed because you feel you should, rather than from a place of joy or meaning. Vegetables are not either, really, once you find what works for you.” Your stomach growled as if in agreement.

Yunho laughed and offered to take you out to lunch in thanks for your wisdom. “I know a place that does fantastic wood smoked artichokes.”

The grin that broke out on your face showed his offer was welcome. “I see you understand precisely, and have a good sense of what you like. Yes, please. I would enjoy that a lot.” Then you hesitated. “And you truly are okay with what rumors may fly about us being seen together? Given the age difference and being aro, it is your company I am after, but people don't think like that.”

“Yes, I can handle that as long as you don't feel it is harming your lonely old curmudgeon reputation.”

Your answering laughter confirmed it had been worth the risk Yunho took joking while knowing so little of each other. All that changed quickly into complete ease after the first day that became many more in each other's company.

Lunches became a quarterly thing worked around Yunho's busy life of promotions and touring, sometimes even meting up while he was in cities for a concert and using his limited free time to see a gallery together. Occasionally your discussions made it into V Log footage cementing your reputation as an art dealer to K-pop stars. It was not something you sought, but you were very happy to let fans see Yunho's enjoyment as he talked about what the various works in many mediums did for him.

'Art is for everyone' was the message you hoped viewers came away with. It was important people understood they did not have to like works they felt they should like, and instead sought whatever spoke to them personally. One piece in particular that had launched Yunho's collection had a wide sweep of teal from top to bottom and an orange streak. Although his first assessment was that it looked like Gumby throwing up, the colors and energy of the painting stayed with him leading to his first purchase.

As long as Yunho still lived a cramped dorm life he was unable to display as many pieces as he would like, but that was something all collectors faced no matter their living situation. Some favorites purchased through your gallery were waiting for him one day in your storage warehouse or on loan from the generous buyer and hung in your own apartment. Not wanting to be apart from his treasures, Yunho was a regular visitor to your home. Gossip swirled about you as a couple, due in part to late-night dinners together people suspected were about more than artwork, but you both were self-assured enough to weather any criticism.

While you were finally beginning to get recognized as aromantic due to all the magazine articles you had been interviewed for due to your recent prominence, you were not asexual. If you were getting up to something else with your attractive and energetic young friend, that was kept between yourself and Yunho alone. Discretion was one of the many admirable traits that had led you to befriend him in the first place, and the sharp dividing line Yunho maintained between his personal and professional sides of his life served both of you very well.

[asking-jude]

Hello Jude!

asking this in a few different places so don't worry if you see this elsewhere!

Need Advice. Might make an account on the website if I need more, but for now just here. I'm gonna ramble a little, bear with me ;;

I'm aroace and currently have what is pretty much the world's WORST gush/smush (platonic/cedural crush) EVER what do i do about it!!!!

i'm not particularly interested in getting into any kind of qp relationship with him due to several factors, (including that even if i was, it'd most likely be a firm "no" lmao)

I just need advice on how to handle these feelings!!!

i'm really reallllly attached to him and attracted in several ways (not rom & sx ofc) and lately it's been hard to stop thinking and daydreaming about him 24/7.

TL:DR = Aroace, madly in qplatonic love w a friend of mine, completely obsessed & infatuated & idk what to do

thoughts??? ;;

Do you want free mental help? What about remote, pay-what-you-want counselling? Visit askingjude.org.

Sounds like you certainly care very much about this guy and feel very close to him. It’s a wonderful thing! It’s still possible for friends to have a great degree of emotional intimacy and mutual affection (physical or emotional/verbal) towards each other because romantic relationships are not the end-all-be-all of human relationships.

I think what often happens in amatonormative cultures is that friendships are seen as placeholders, practice rounds, or consolation prizes for romantic relationships. Amatonormative cultures have practices and ideas that center romantic love and relationships and prioritizes them over other relationships; these cultures tend to reward romance-seeking behavior over friendship-seeking behavior or other types of relationships because romantic love is often valued important than platonic love in these cultures. What these cultures miss is that romantic relationships cannot meet all of our social and emotional needs as humans. This is okay because humans are complex creatures with a diverse array of needs; putting all of that on one person is just unfair. Perhaps some of your own discomfort comes from feeling some of that pressure.

In other words, I think you might need a different word here than friendship because I don’t think that it encompasses the intensity of your feelings. There’s nothing wrong with feeling such a desire for emotional closeness and emotional intimacy; friendships and familial relationships can certainly get pretty deep! Perhaps these are what you look for in your relationships with people.

You seem to have a good aroace vocabulary already; I think browsing this will help diversify it some more to help you identify your feelings: https://www.aromanticism.org/en/attraction-relationship-terms

In addition, the Greeks have several names for different types of love. Perhaps one of these works for you: https://www.wellandgood.com/greek-words-for-love/. #2 and #4 seem like they apply to your current situation.

Are you familiar with the Netflix show Big Mouth? It’s a funny show about teenagers who are going through puberty accompanied by hormone monsters and other creatures. It’s for adults, though, so if you’re still a minor, please, ignore the link that I’m sharing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoDrHF8BJTc.

This video is about Jessi and Ali, two characters who become friends over the course of the show, and bond over a shared cause. Jessi isn’t quite sure if what she feels is romantic love, but she knows it’s not an ordinary friendship; she feels too close to Ali to say they’re “just friends,” but she isn’t quite sure if it’s even a crush. Perhaps this will help you better make sense of your own feelings.

I think it’s okay to talk to him about your feelings and let him know he means a lot to you. What kind of person wouldn’t want to know they have such a dedicated and caring friend like you? By that same token, remember that friendships aren’t exclusive like most romantic relationships; people can (and should) have at least a few friends so that there’s not too much pressure on anyone. Why not ensure that you two always have some quality time together? Pick a day or an event to go to and make it a regular thing for just the two of you; you get your needs met without turning your friendship into something neither of you want. (If you aren’t ready for a QPP, that’s okay; just remember that every QPP is as unique as the people in them.)

Friendships are often seen as so simple and uncomplicated because children form them so quickly, but that’s because they form from people being in close proximity to each other for so long; building genuine, healthy bonds takes a lot more effort than just being in the same building all day. When you’re an adult (especially), friendships take time and effort to grow and blossom because you have more going on in your lives other than going to school, doing homework, doing chores, etc. Sounds like you’re willing to foster a great friendship with this guy!

Feel free to come back if you have any other questions.

Socially-distanced hugs, Angelica Barile
