i get that school is important and stuff and teachers want kids to learn but im getting particularly sick on one of mine constantly saying that we absolutely must do the homework at any cost. plan around work he says, plan around extracurriculars. i get it. but i can't plan around mental illness and i think a lot of teachers fail to realize that. of all the teachers ive had the ones that assign homework regularly are these people. extreme example but if i start wanting to rip my skin off and die really badly due to sensory overload i am not going to be doing fucking math homework. my priority in that case was trying to calm myself down so i didnt mentally break and stop talking for the rest of the day and that took ages and it took energy. i can assure you i would not have had the mental capacity to do math that afternoon and the rest of the night. big admission but ive OD'd before, and on nights when that happens there is no fucking way im doing math homework. the simple fact that im at a low enough point to even consider that suggests that i need some form of help, and the fact that i end up actually doing it warrants a hospital visit in the worst case i believe. im at the point where im considering just telling him that ive OD'd and didn't do the homework if ever it happens again and seeing how strictly he upholds it then.
mental illness doesn't care about your math homework.

Following on from Jessie's post, regarding Arthur and Nix, it's important to note that Arthur is not the danger to you. Nix suffers from a number of mental illnesses, yes, but she is not suffering from psychosis. She is of far more danger to you than her husband has ever and will ever be. She has done far, far, far more damage in her shorter life than Arthur ever will. Arthur's psychosis does not make him a danger, the danger in fact comes from those with antiquated ideas that psychotic=violence and evil. It does not. He is under threat due to these vile ideas born from plain ignorance; he is put in danger because of them. He is not the danger. Those who fail to make that distinction are the problem, not those who are ill. Embarrassing and out-dated 'he's a psycho' attitudes will land absolutely anyone on the unfriendly end of Nix's bowie knife. Why? Because psychosis has no bearing on whether someone is a threat to you and she's willing to prove it.
Mental illness does not dispel a person's humanity, they don't simply become a shitty trope because they're sick. In any way. Hollywood's often out-right ableist approach to mental illness, psychosis, has gotta die in Hollywood. A character, a person with psychosis remain exactly that. Not evil, not the bad guy for the good guy to 'get'. The notion is built on stigma and blatant ignorance.

God I just saw that math post where you missed the joke entirely. You're so fucking stupid lmao
Bro that post is over a year old, reblogged ar like 2 am, and I hadn't had a math class in like 3 years. Get a hobby perhaps? Touch some grass maybe? Frolic, even?
"Person who hasn't had a math class in over 3 years forgot about factorials, which was gone over exactly once in her senior year discreet math class, time to be an asshole about it" < you rn
And finally

meanwhile string theory is also fun because ive been straight up told by a string theorist that she doesnt think string theory is the "answer" to unifying physics... but she does think the math used to figure it out will end up being useful to figuring out what the real answer is, so its still worth studying.
and frankly thats far more practical of a mindset than a lot of people arguing for or against it online have

Sometimes at night I dream about an au where Wymack is Nathan's twin brother.
Bear with me.
David and Nathan are identical twins, but still look eerily alike until they grow older. David is older by twenty minutes, and the one who leaves their shifty parents first and is all too happy to leave his twin behind too. He's quick to change his name and they lose track of each other's existence long before either of them move to America.
He doesnt recognize Neil, when the file lands on his desk—he doesn't look too much like his twin as an adult, not that he would know that, having last seen the guy when they were 16—but something about Neil's photo is enough to get him curious.
Neil, of course, sees Wymack irl for the first time and freaks the FUCK out. Kevin being there Does Not Help, and Neil says a lot of shit that sends everyone's alarm bells ringing, just because he thinks he's already been caught. Except Kevin is as Kevin does and won't shut up about exy, and Andrew sticks out from the rest of this nightmare like a sore thumb, and eventually they manage to calm Neil down enough for him to realize that his father never had those tattoos. Or dressed like that, not even when he needed a shirt he didn't mind ruining.
Neil can just barely bring himself to look at the tattoos while he signs the contract. It's the only thing keeping him calm enough to stand in Wymack's presence. The offer to live in his house is refused so loudly it makes Neil jump at his own voice. Andrew thinks this is hilarious. Kevin is already exasperated.
But the itch at the back of Wymack's head is getting more persistent, more familiar, tracing back years tics and habits and what faint serene memories he has of childhood, doing the math and...oh shit is this my kid?
Well, according to the paternity test he discreetly sends out a few weeks after Neil arrives at Palmetto, yes.
