I know this sounds anti medicine but I think I'm more in the camp of, find what helps you and when it stops helping, drop it like a live grenade

The last straw for me was when a therapist asked me to put my hand over my heart and assumed I had some kind of emotional blockage because I didn't feel a sudden revelation. She recommended a special massage to align my body with earth's magnetic field

The truth is I hit the limit of what middle class crank and "have u tried mindfulness" can accomplish, after trying them for years. People who aren't in therapy assume therapy isn't a shitshow like every other part of Western health care

Walking away from talk therapy and stimulants was the best decision I made in a long time for my physical and mental well being, but whenever I say that people get panicky or assume I think I beat mental illness

yeah! the vibe I get from old Exalted books is, "slavery is an immutable law of this setting and no one has succeeded in doing away with it so just don't think about it too hard"

you can argue that mighty heroes are not necessarily good people, that is a core theme of the game! but doesn't it seem like a failure of imagination that the closest Exalted comes to Humanity Fuck Yeah is a mercantile guild that has kept slavery alive since the dawn of time

don't you think it's fucked up that the Exalted tabletop RPG setting put so much effort into establishing slavery as a setting-wide institution that persisted even after death. the idea is that the Exalts are all-powerful shapers of society but collectively decided "nah slavery's cool tho"

the amazing thing about what happened in France, from an American perspective, is the only time we have seen this kind of coalition happen is to stomp down on the throat of the left Obama never moved as fast in his fucking LIFE as he did to head off an NBA work stoppage in 2020 or to crush Bernie
