i don't think it's strictly transgender to view masculinity as burdensome and joyless. it can also be autistic i think. either way do you wanna put on a skirt and play with our hair together

It's so frustrating that I'm only seeing more and more lobotomy jokes. Especially "live, laugh, lobotomy" merch.
You are making fun of the torture of disabled people. People with intellectual disability and severe mental illness brutally had parts of their brain severed or killed. Many people died from this. We can never know the true impact because the people who endured this were not the same after.
We shouldn't be bringing this up in any lighthearted way. This was a tragedy, and we should be showing basic human respect to the victims. I don't think anyone can "reclaim" it and no one should want to. Please treat it with the severity and respect you would to any other mass tragedy from history.
Dear friends π«π«
When we resorted to asking for urgent assistance, we resorted to it because of the difficulty of life we ββlive, whether psychological, physical or material π
We are a Palestinian family of seven people. We were living a decent, stable life and had our dreams. Suddenly, our situation changed because of the devastating war that caused us to lose everything we owned and negatively affected my children psychologically, educationally and otherwise ππ
Therefore, we became in dire need of help so that we can continue living π
Today, after approximately 330 days of war and five months since the start of the fundraising campaign, we have reached 19000β¬ / 35,000β¬, and I am confident that you will help me reach the goal as soon as possible - I hope that everyone who sees my message will donate if possible and share it widely π
Thank you very much

The worst thing is that there is so much potential for exploring the horror of psych wards from the angle of medical abuse, ableism, forced treatment/drugging, loss of autonomy, power imbalance, demonization, dehumanization, etc, and YET the horror genre keeps defaulting to "insane asylums and psych wards are scary because there are mentally ill people in there"
[guy who hasnt drawn in a few weeks voice] yeah the world is horrible and life is agony
