My “Yes I have interiority” T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already anwered by my T-shirt.
The “no i don’t have interiority” t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by the shirt.
My “yes I have interiority, no not the person wearing me, I’m a sentient shirt” shirt has people asking a lot of the questions that the shirt can understand but is tragically incapable of responding to

When I’m in charge of the planet, it will be illegal to make a job posting unless you are actively searching for a candidate.
Lean staffing will also be illegal. If you need three people to do a job, you’re hiring four.
You are also either earning an amount or you are not earning that amount. ‘Earn up to 21.50/hr’ no. Either you’re paying 21.50 or you are not paying 21.50. Tell the truth or jail for employer for 1000 years.
If someone asks for 2 years experience for an entry level job paying just above minimum wage, you should be legally permitted to launch them into the fucking sun.
> First, the adverse effects of antipsychotic medications are widely attested and very serious. They fall into at least two classes: cognitive impairments, and extrapyramidal disorders (such as akathisia, parkinsonism, and tardive dyskinesia). Both are concerning.
> Increasing evidence, both anecdotal and studied, suggests that antipsychotics frequently impair cognitive functioning. This is often described by those who have suffered from it as “zombie-like”, or as though they lacked the capacity for abstract thought [1]. There is a large empirical literature giving rigorous backing to these informal reports (see [2] for an overview and bibliography); more specifically, much of this literature suggests that antipsychotics can seriously impair procedural learning [3] [4] [9]. These empirical findings in the scientific literature, while plentiful and robust, seem not to have fully percolated yet into clinical practice.
> In addition to their potential adverse cognitive effects, antipsychotic medications are well-known to carry the risk of painful, disabling, and potentially damaging motor (“extrapyramidal”) disorders. These include akathisia (commonly described by those to experience it as “torture”), parkinsonism (a collection of symptoms similar to those involved in Parkinson’s Disease), and tardive dyskinesia (a chronic and unremitting motor disorder resulting from long-term use of antipsychotics) [5] [6] [7] [8]. While these conditions are common generally among users of antipsychotics (for those taking haloperidol—a commonly prescribed antipsychotic—extrapyramidal symptoms may present at or above fifty percent [10]), there is evidence they may be especially likely and severe, even at low doses, for autistic people [11] [12].

i am not strictly speaking antipsych so i feel weird reblogging specific posts about this that are going around, i’m also not “propsych” or whatever. it’s complicated and any answer to this question would involve revealing far more about my life than i hope to ever do on tumblr.
but— for one very specific example— i am pretty convinced that antipsychotics generally do more harm than good, i am very convinced of this in the non-psychosis context and it’s just harder in the psychosis context (but plausibly still not worth it) because psychosis truly sucks so fucking bad and there are no other pharmaceutical options that i’m aware of and sometimes people would like to stop hallucinating. i think reading literally any description of the average side effect profile for an antipsychotic would tell you that; i expect i have followers who are on or have had positive experiences with antipsychotics and i’m really not out here to tell you to stop taking them. but i am at the point where i do think if your doctor prescribes you an antipsychotic for your anxiety or depression i would really, really consider never talking to that doctor again
there are all kinds of medical opinions like this though. psych is a particularly wild west, but like. did you know that zyrtec may, credibly, cause depression! when i was picking what allergy med to take for something, my doctor cited it as low side effect. it fucking isn’t!
it’s tough!! people really— i really— do not want to be the reason someone gets in their own head and doesn’t try medical treatment for something they want! i have multiple friends and am myself someone who delayed treatment for x bc of anxiety over side effects and then it was fine! but it really is not always fine and the medical profession loooooves a false sense of security
I’m not saying anything new or surprising on the Disabilities Website. just something i struggle with being honest about even though it shapes a lot of my decisions in my own life
yoooo my phone makes thumbs up emojis for furries this is fucking sick
graymuzzle ass emoji. Still has an account on Furcadia ass emoji. thinks of the entirety of Japanese animation as “that crazy shit the kids are into these days” ass emoji. Sysadmin whose day job singlehandedly keeps most of the Internet working and spends 30% of his income on animation for his fursona rants channel ass emoji
This emoji has been asked “what does your fursona smell like” 3000 times in its life and the answer has always been “a fine three-year-old Romeo y Julieta”, like it doesn’t even specify that that’s a Cuban cigar
This is the emoji you get back when you’ve just made plans to be the 357th twink an aerospace engineer has yiffed at Gencon since 1989
tumblr punk problems: Can you still be punk if you are a Mormon missionary real punk problems: YO!!! ANYONE GOT A LINE ON TODDLER PISS??? SPEEDBALL MIKE HAS TO KEEP HIS NEW MOHEL’S ASSISTANT GIG UNTIL HE CAN PAY OFF THE COUNTY FOR THAT ILLEGAL ROADWORK AND GET HIS TRUCK BACK. CAN’T PAY CASH BUT HIS EX-WIFE IS HOLDING
Speedball Mike, Whom Sobriety Forgot is a pillar of his community but he keeps trying to paint bike lanes into local intersection and community service is against his religion so he owes the county a lot of money. They stole his truck while he was doing it once and he’s too stupid to realize they’re not allowed to hold his truck hostage so he got a job helping a mohel circumcise babies. The mohel is an old college buddy of the most stressed-out transsexual woman you’ll ever meet in your life. He doesn’t know Speedball Mike from adam but he likes his drive and energy. That kid’s going places, thinks the mohel, not knowing that he mostly goes any given place to buy meth, or rescue unemployable weirdos from the consequences of their own actions, or perform illegal roadwork
Unaccountably, Speedball Mike is a lamed-vavnik. If he stopped getting high, God’s grace would turn away from the earth
The book I’m reading:“[Nancy Drew glanced] at the grainy photograph of her dad, who smiled out from the newspaper page. Just above the photo, the headline read, “Carson Drew Honored for Civic Achievements."”
Me, genre-savvy but for the wrong genre: Sure the headline says that now, but just wait until they go back in time
