    trans-axolotl:

    saw a post the other day that said that psych survivors were overexaggerating and fearmongering for saying that people should be aware that having diagnoses on your record can be a danger + impede your life. and the more i think about it the more annoyed i am. because i think people need to know that there are exceptions to health privacy laws that can make having psych diagnoses and psych hospitalization history on your record risky depending on your circumstances. diagnoses follow you through your health interactions-you do not have to consent to have your information shared between providers. judicial proceedings are also an exception to the HIPAA privacy rule, so for things like custody battles, guardianship, getting orders of protection–the court can petition for medical records. there’s so many other situations where even if they can’t legally access your information without your authorization, people will require you to disclose diagnoses, records, previous hospitalizations and refuse to give you services/hire you/whatever unless you share that information with them. for example in many states anyone (a provider, a cop, friends and family) can disclose that you have certain psych diagnoses like bipolar to the DMV which then might require that you undergo drivers license review as frequently as every 3 months. my university is actively trying to kick me out right now because i had to disclose my medical record, psych diagnoses, and hospitalization history to them as a requirement to stay enrolled.

    and i don’t want to scare people or make people think that having a diagnosis on their records is automatically going to mean that it is weaponized against us. because i do know plenty of people who have never faced issues with their records. but i do expect that the community supports the people speaking out about the ways that we have been harmed by diagnoses creating barriers to accessing necessary parts of our life. instead of attacking us or saying that we’re lying about things we are currently experiencing.

    ok @seluvian ’s tags reminded me of how many black children are labeled with ‘oppositional defiance’ or 'conduct disorders’ for behaviors that their white peers are more likely to have diagnosed as adhd or autism or ptsd, which then fast tracks them into the school-to-prison pipeline as every teacher + para sees that they’ve been diagnosed with what is essentially Unruly Child Disorder. then this interacts with the social prejudice which paints black teens as being inherently threatening or unruly to begin with– these combine to become a self fulfilling cycle in which the diagnosis causes trauma by labeling a child as Pathologically Criminal, which spurns 'acting out’ behaviors which are then explained away as a result of the diagnosis itself.

    most of the ppl i see defending the idea of diagnosis as a unilateral good are white ppl. they fail to grasp that a white child diagnosed with autism who received extra social skills support + speech therapy at their well funded elementary school may have their life enriched by diagnosis, while a black child diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder who was subjected to additional policing, poorer educational outcomes, + emotional abuse has their life destroyed by diagnosis.

    #literally less than two months ago there was a bill in Missouri banning trans autistic ppl from transitioning like… #i know someone who almost had custody of her kids taken because post partum depression was brought up in a custody hearing #absolutely diagnosis can and will be used against you #going undiagnosed your whole life sucks but the thing that makes it suck isnt the lack of diagnosis its the lack of support #solution imo is to give people the means to get help and support without pathologizing #dont help someone because they were diagnosed with autism help them because they need help

    hm. poll. bc a streamer i watch mentioned “getting dressed” to spend all day at home playing a video game

    when youre just chilling at home (like on days off) do you “get dressed/put on real clothes” after u wake up or stay in pajamas

    no, pjs all day

    i might put a bra on (or st) but otherwise nah, pjs

    sometimes, depends on the day

    yes always. do other ppl. not change when you wake up??

    bitch i dont even comb my hair im not putting on real clothes

    im one of those freaks that sleeps in blue jeans so guess im already dressed

    change from night comfy to day comfy (pjs to sweatpants)

    i sleep in blue jeans AND change into diff ones (extra freak option.)

    secret third option in the tags idk

    (NOTE: for the purposes of this poll “real clothes”=whatever u would wear outside normally, pajamas=whatever ur comfy sleep clothes are. could be actual fancii pajamas could be boxers and a big shirt i dont care. if you sleep naked idk man)

    #usually pjs all day #i GUESS i could also count ‘from night comfy to day comfy’ sometimes (usually summer) but my version goes ‘just underwear’ -> ‘normal pjs’

    The big discourse on twitter right now is that writers going on strike or cancelling their own series are breaking an invisible “contract” they made with their fans and all creators owe their fans a satisfying conclusion to their stories.

    Actually all fans owe all creators for entertaining them and if a creator says “I don’t want to perform this labor anymore,” then regardless of the cliffhanger that leaves you with, your only response should be “take care! Thank you for all your hard work!!!” :)

    Like it or not… this.

    #what a weird entitled take to say ‘this person who is creating something OWES ME that creation. its MINE because I LIKE IT’ #‘youre breaking the invisible contract that says you should live in poverty and let other people profit from your work’ #maybe the COMPANIES are breaking THEIR invisible contract to the fans! #theyre the ones who owe us satisfying resolutions to the stories they produce #if the comapnies decide to cut corners and mistreat their writers thats on them

    theconcealedweapon:

    If sexual activity between same-gender people became illegal, the police would be the ones enforcing those laws.

    That’s why police are not welcome at Pride. Pride is for unconditional supporters, not for those who would become enemies as soon as they’re ordered to.

    I feel it’s important to amend this with “if sexual activity between same-gender people became illegal AGAIN, the police would be the ones enforcing those laws AGAIN.”

    They did it before and they’ll do it again. Gay sex was only made legal in Texas in 2003. I was at a sleepover at my best friend’s house when it happened. We could hear the celebrations from the bar district down the block. We were 14 and both knew we were queer.

    So yes, they’re not welcome at pride because they’ll turn on us in an instant. But also because cops who have been cops for a while full-on were against us only NINETEEN years ago.

    And yes I know that’s just in Texas and other states have different histories but I’m not even that old and I remember when being gay was illegal. When any relationship I dreamed of having was illegal. And THAT is my bigger reason that cops aren’t welcome at pride. Yes they will turn on us, but they already were against us and not-so-secretly still are.
