I Think When People Talk About Dsm Diagnoses Being 'destigmatised' It's Usually The Case That What They

i think when people talk about dsm diagnoses being 'destigmatised' it's usually the case that what they mean is the public perception of the diagnosis name (depression, anxiety, etc) has become associated with minor, temporary, or resolvable forms of distress. the experience of being so depressed you cannot get out of bed, or brush your teeth, or work -- that experience and those behaviours have never been 'destigmatised,' only associated with other diagnostic labels in certain discourses seeking to present 'depression' as treatable or minor. it's basically a semantic nosological shift, rather than any actual 'destigmatisation' of the behaviours psychiatry exists to pathologise -- widening (minimising) the diagnosis, then just moving any leftover 'scary' symptoms to a different diagnostic bucket. it's a rhetorical shell game that does not challenge, but exists symbiotically with, the ableism that causes behaviours like "not being able to get out of bed" to be stigmatised in the first place.

the first half of a poem called "a colony of maggots building a fox through careful effort", by max lavergne. it reads: i am a toddler drifting to the edge and climbing backwards out of the pool

i am a charred building revealing its stunning reinvention with a flamboyant burst of flames

i am a colony of maggots building a fox through careful effort

i am a 2013 toyota corolla bashfully inflating its hood as it releases the power pole

i am a troubling and unwelcome admission being inhaled and stored in the brain of the breather until it can be dissolved into formative experiences and disappear gently into childhood

i am a rag wiping blood onto a clean blade and the blade transfusing the blood to its new owner

i am the blue light that kisses a soul into the moth's tiny body

the full text can be found at infinitegossip.substack.com

the second half of "a colony of maggots building a fox through careful effort", by max lavergne. it reads:

i am the deer leaping from the grass verge and bouncing off the front of the truck into a warm evening in the forest

i am the bubbles sinking downwards into the underwater colony until the submerged domes are full of enough air to return the shattered glass panels to their frames and the depth charge to the hold of warship on the surface, which sails away, never to be seen again

i am gathering trays and suitcases and stewardesses towards me as i fly towards the open door of the aeroplane and close the door behind me, repressurizing the cabin as i do so

i am being helped out of my deathbed

i am floating inexorably towards the safety of the pontoon

i am the serene ignorance following the gnawing dread that follows the disaster

Fandom Problem #8125:

Not gonna lie I kind of hate how multishipping is often villainized in fandom.

Like say for example I want to ship two completely different ships. Only problem however is those two communities are in a ship war. So how do I fit in the fandom if shippers on both sides hate me for shipping both. And furthermore the lack of content for the specific polyship can also be disheartening as well. It seems like polyshippers are always excluded from fandoms and that frustrates me to know end. It would make shipping much less toxic. Plus nobody forcing you to ship it either we just a space where we have the ability to ship both without people being weird about it.

I swear if I told the Naruto Fandom that I shipped both Sasunaru and Naruhina I’d be executed on the spot.

Tags

I spent the last four years in a fandom with almost no shipping so it's fucking insane to see that this kind of stuff is still a problem nevermind replace insane with depressing
