Fuck Israel and fuck everyone who still wants to pretend this is confusing or complicated. Is it really that hard to point out the "bad people" in a scenario where a multi-billion military apparatus is handcuffing and killing children and medical staff inside a fucking hospital?
i've already mentioned this but I never picked up on "coworker" as a substitute for "normie" online. I thought we were joking about things specifically our coworkers do and not "normie things". and it added up in that context. but the world is cruel and i'm not a gifted kid
[ID: a meme animatic of Siffrin to a portion of the song Everything Is Awful by The Decemberists. Isabeau asks, "What's that crashing sound / that follows us around?" and Siffrin responds, "That's the sound of all things good breaking!" with an extremely tired smile. He walks past Isabeau, continuing, "Put your fears to rest / you know it's for the best..." then they thrust their arm into nearby floating tears. The screen fades to black as the verse ends, then shows Siffrin dancing to the chorus. End ID]

People think being self aware cancels out mental illness. That when you realise your thoughts or behaviours are irrational you just stop having/doing them
Instead what happens if you're extremely self aware and mentally ill is that you just think in a resigned kind of way "I'm being really fucking crazy right now" while being very loudly mentally ill
Sometimes you are able to tell the people around you "oh, you can ignore me rn. I'm just being extremely mentally ill rn. It will eventually pass" and then continue your erratic behaviour. But mostly it's just privately thinking: "well this is embarrassing but I can't turn it off so just gotta deal with it I guess."

this is a way better model... you'll still get transphobic & intersexist drs of course but i prefer this to male / female or even having separate questions for gender & sex.
[we can't see the full form, but i'd suggest having a "something else" option and dominant hormone question too.]
"rest in power" is for black people who have lost their lives to antiblack violence. we shouldnt have to keep saying this and you all shouldnt keep ignoring us.
