gonna make a ranking of all the ways academics at work reply to my emails.
so far, the most points go to the person who called me 'Professor Lee' - flattering, delightful, I feel like I'm in a pokemon game
fewest points go to the person who looked at my signature enough to extrapolate my surname, but not enough to recognise that someone with '(they/them)' there might not want to be 'Mr Surname'

I’ve seen many? debates about whether or not mental illnesses are neurodivergent or not
So I’ve tried to be inclusive(could be better tho?)and coined a term!
PMiNd
P stands for physical condition
Mi stands for mentally ill
Nd stands for neurodivergent
Reasons for using this term:
You’re in more than one of these categories
You wanna use it as an umbrella term for the communities
Or whatever other reason you want!
What do you guys think?

genuine question how do you support/help people with deeply internalised negative body image/who believe in normative beauty standards? (skinny loved one has gained a small amount of weight and was in tears telling me how bad she felt about herself now. i was trying to explain that the only solution is to change the mental attitude around body types, rather than trying to change her body as she wanted to do. how do i explain that she is hurting herself and others by being unable to believe anything but a skinny body is worthy of love/value/respect/being alive?!)
