"Disabled people should be allowed to be as independent as we can be" and "disabled people should not be pressured to be hyper-independent in order to not wind up in nursing homes against our will" are two thoughts that can, and should, exist at the same time.

folie à deux is the fourth studio album by american rock band fall out boy, released on december 10, 2008.
the french term folie à deux (literally, a "madness shared by two") is a rare psychiatric syndrome in which a symptom of psychosis - particularly a paranoid or delusional belief - is transmitted from one individual to another. stump is quick to point out that the "two" aren't pete or ashlee. or for that matter, pete and patrick: "there are lyrics on this record that go into certain things that i wasn't necessarily sure i wanted to admit. we haven't been that openly political as a band, but on this record, there are some lyrics that spelled it out. the irony is that people will probably mistake the title, folie à deux, as something about romantic relationships in some way. and it's our only record where that theme is not touched upon."
- alternative press, 2008
a celebration of FIFTEEN YEARS OF FOLIE À DEUX, from @omegalomania, @heartbreakfeelsogood, @ofalltheginjoints, @kat-sribbles, @clandestine-rabbit, @sicklysweetholiday, @ybcpatrick, @patrickmstump, @vanweezer, and @andpierres!

I've got to say, I've been doing a lot of research on Italy recently and I literally can't stop thinking about your boys. I'm over here trying to read about whatever Crusade and my brain is just a constant loop of "isn't Machete a cardinal? And Vasco was from like Verona, right?" Not super conducive to learning anything, but I am enjoying myself and thought you should know.
Thank you for your lovely art and for sharing your darlings <33
That's adorable ;^; But also sorry the lads keep distracting you, hah.
I'd argue that getting invested in your characters and their stories and having to do background research for them is actually a great way to accumulate knowledge about various subjects. Often it's stuff you probably would never get around to reading about otherwise. I'm not saying it's always information you'll have many practical uses for, but learning about new things is fun and it's beneficial to you and your brain in the long run.
Vasco is from Florence actually! It's usually considered to be the birthplace and the main hub of the entire Renaissance movement. Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli and Michelangelo lived and influenced there and Dante Alighieri (author of The Divine Comedy/Dante's Inferno) was florentine as well, albeit he lived several centuries prior to them.
