Me in Australia: finally something we’re ahead of everyone on

If the UK had a preferential voting system the Tories would have won a lot more seats

I have a bachelors in psychology so was able to pick based on my understanding of approaches. I knew I didn’t want CBT, so went with an ACT psych instead. Mine is also a developmental psychologist so I knew they’d be more likely to understand neurodevelopmental disabilities than your average psychologist.

I’m Audhd and pretty much use my psychologist for all of this.

Gonna throw a hat in the ring here for the British Empire as the king of genocide.

As an autistic person that’s a double fuck you from me

Wonder if he got this advice from his dog

Subjectification. People normalise what’s normal for them.

Surely this is intersectional though right? Not all men are the same or have the same experience of political issues. I can see how straight white cis men might feel like these spaces aren’t for them. But queer men might feel differently about this. Black men also.

Also if you feel like existing spaces aren’t for you, then free to create your own spaces. There’s nothing holding you back.

Human civilisation feels like it’s regressing.

Fuck yeah Germany!

This would likely mean my country’s (Australia) biggest trading partner going to war with our biggest ally (USA). We’re also close to this conflict geographically speaking so would likely play a key role in it. Honestly this conflict would really fuck our economy and make the entire region more unstable than it already is.

So I’d be quite concerned if this happened. It would destroy my country and be yet another reminder of how we are tied to the USA and will literally follow it to our own destruction.

Can we please just have a good ending with this one where the Germans protest the nazis out of town. The world kind of needs this right now. Please Germany, show us that anti-fascist resistance is possible and history is not doomed to repeat itself forever.

I’ve been wanting to read his work for ages! Thanks for the recommendation, looks like a good one to start with.

The recent BtB episode about him hit me so hard. I feel like I relate a lot to Swartz because I really value knowledge. The episode ultimately made me feel hopeful but with a deep underpinning of sadness. The point Margret and Robert made about his death being a turning point really stood out to me.

I don’t dislike people. They just confuse and overwhelm me and this is incredibly exhausting.

This is my conservative father in a nutshell
