Reading this was worth it just for that one perfect line: “casualties of Pinterest’s aesthetic teleology”. I mean, I agree with it all, but I love that line, because as a former Pinterest addict, I know it to be true.

Is it different from ‘abuse of process’, I wonder?
Yeah, that’s definitely a problem, and not just for BPD. I have a few friends with moderate to severe clinical depression and social anxiety, and there’s little I can do for them. I don’t live in the same city, as if I did I could at least go with them, take them to see a doctor and advocate on their behalf. But…
I don’t disagree. That being said, the neurochemical imbalance of the original disorder is its own nightmare, so between a rock and a hard place, it’s hard to tell if the treatment is worse than the disorder.
Whaaaat?! I didn’t know she did a song with MC Lyte?! That’s awesome. :) Thanks for this.
Yeah, that does sound like a problem. I follower her on FB as well but I only saw her post where she was going on about her ex-husband and his wife, and their children, and it was all kind of difficult to understand.
Alas, people with mental health issues often don’t realize they need help. I’m not usually one for…
Your post needs to be ‘stickied’ if that possible on Kinja. Thank you and kudos. :)
There is a certain amount of stigma, and unfortunately I have seen psychiatric practices which specify that they will not treat people with BPD. Although they don’t say why they won’t accept patients with BPD, it’s difficult not to read a negative impression into that (particularly if someone has BPD).
And yeah, I know…
Do you think it is this?
I don’t think it necessarily has to be a deliberate _abuse_(misuse?) of prescription drugs per se: it could well be that Sinead O’Connor is trying anything and everything to stay afloat because she’s developed a tolerance to her medication regime, or the medications weren’t a good fit for her.
Either way though, I…
Being calm in the face of oppression is a privilege not afforded to the oppressed.
I suspect $15 million will also be sufficiently punitive as to ensure that this kind of egregious violation of a person’s civil liberties never happens to anyone else ever again. That’s the Achilles’ Heel of tort reform: on the one hand,…
Omar Al-Bashir can’t exactly ‘disappear’ someone who is now as famous as Ahmed Mohamed, but nor can Ahmed Mohamed return to his country of origin without making nice with the current president, war criminal though he may be.
I don’t think I would be buddies with a war criminal just to go visit my homeland, but then,…
“According to NBC Dallas-Fort Worth, Ahmed was questioned, handcuffed and taken to Irving police headquarters for interrogation, fingerprinting and mug shots, even though he repeatedly insisted that it was a clock.
...
“[C]reate problems”? Ahmed’s dad ran in the last presidential election in Sudan against the current president, who is a known war criminal and responsible for the Darfur genocide. I’d say Ahmed’s family is trying to solve problems, not create them. Islamophobia, xenophobia and racism - those are problems created by…
Because a brown Muslim teen in the US would surely risk the possibility of getting shot to death by racist cops, on the off chance that he _might_ be able to live long enough to sue their asses off?
He was arrested, fingerprinted, had his mugshot taken and questioned without his parents present (denied despite repeated…
Unfortunately there are hijab-wearing women being harassed and attacked in Toronto this past month, and other racist and Islamophobic incidents in Canada:
I’m pretty sure it was the racists and Islamophobes who ensured that he and his family had to leave the country. Not easy for a teenage PoC growing up in a virulently racist and white supremacist nation where a bunch of opportunistic demagogues have stirred up populist prejudices for political power, and to be…
I got my 360 Fat (either Falcon or Jasper core) in 2008, it still works perfectly. My Halo: Reach LE Slim that I bought much later, had to go in for repairs (laser died), and will probably have to go back again, this time for the graphics chip (getting weird artifacting/red haze over everything, possibly due to…
Wait, what?! LANAAAA is on Criminal Minds?! How did I not know this?! I may start watching again then (glad they _finally_ brought in another PoC into that white-washed cast).
