Our system definitely risks turning doctors~ into unfeeling zombies. The only solution I know for that is to change doctors, but that's much easier said than done.

Truth is, sometimes antidepressants can make you feel zombie-ish.. but that's not the goal and if you're feeling that way just ask your doctor about adjusting things. I had to deal with that as a kid when they tried antidepressants off-label to treat my ADHD.

Brain chemistry is unique, so brain meds are kinda hard to get the first shot. Keep logs of how you feel if you can and talk to your doctor about it. You could get lucky and feel good on the first try, but you also might need the doc to adjust dose, timing, or what med you get.

Same! And I've been taking loratadine more regularly recently due to allergic dermatitis being extra bad this year.. which is coincidentally right as we start having to really wait for the vaccine updates

Or: cast someone with a femme voice and give Chakotay an off-screen revelation, reckoning, and transition. She returns to the ship at the season finale to resume command and everyone treats her the same way Curzon Dax's friends treat Jadzia Dax. "Oh shit, girl I know you!" total acceptance.

There are people reporting changes in efficacy when in Europe as opposed to the US. Whatever is the cause, it seems people are suggesting that the US is where the issue is, whether it be drug companies or the environment behind the problem.

They just don't realize their takes are privileged as shit. They don't care if it ostracizes marginalized people fighting for their existence because they still don't see us as people. They cover up their racism with crappy activism.

Was anyone else taught in school that Lincoln and Kennedy were the only two presidents killed in office? Or was it just me. Cause I had pretty good history teachers and yet I distinctly remember being told that by someone. I guess McKinley and Garfield didn't count? This is my Mandela Effect.

Maybe, sometimes it's better to recognize all the bad already aimed at something and only put out good, or just not get involved. Maybe sometimes a shitty movie with queer rep should be lifted up so good movies get made in the future.

Hate the hypothetical fascist-hating movie but don't want to throw in with fascists? Try saying something nuanced about it. Maybe you like the intent and the script, you just can't get over the camera work and lighting. Or better yet realize your voice may tell studios to abandon that moral.

I dunno, maybe it's me but if I see a movie that's critical of fascism and see 30 people saying it sucks, with a lot of fascist dog whistles it's kinda hard to spot that you're not a fascist when you're also only saying that it's terrible.

Like... maybe when media franchises decide to include diversity in story, characters, cast, and crew then they get hate campaigns against them... keep criticism nuanced or private? Don't add fuel to the executives who want to reinstate the Hays Code by expressing dislike without clarification

Part of what puts you in said box isn't just the opinion, but the desire to express it amongst the onslaught of blind hatred fueled by bigotry is a huge red flag. Disliking something like Acolyte for reasons of substance (pacing) isn't a problem, but throwing your hat in with toxic "fans" is.

At this point if you say you don't like [newest product of large media franchise] I'm automatically putting you into a box labeled "possibly terrible; need evidence to think otherwise" Cause there's legitimate reasons to dislike just about anything, but there are a lot of loud "anti woke" assholes

I knew a cardiologist who could diagnose a rhythm at a glance, drove a McLaren, and was trialing a treatment using radiation therapy with an oncologist to kill specific individual heart cells to stop bad rhythms... Computer mice were a mystery for him.

There were 16 trans youth suicides after gender affirming care restrictions were implemented in the UK in 2020 compared with only 1 in the 7 years prior. Staff at the NHS attempted to cover it up. Hilary Cass knew but minimized what was happening. This is a massive scandal. Cass lied, kids died.
