@georgespolitzer @kate there was a goddamn ROCKEFELLER in the Senate until five years ago!!!
the president-elect's "climate guy" has family money dating back to the opium trade in China in the 19th century *and* he married into the Heinz ketchup fortune (also 150+ years old and *also* worth billions)
in 100 years there's gonna be a bunch of fuckin Bezoses and Waltons and *still* Rockefellers and Vanderbilts hanging around unless something changes *now*
fuck capitalism
"There's a certain mystification that occurs when a video game is experienced. For starters, the player doesn't see all the work that goes into making a game, nor do they know the working conditions of the people who made it." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLGWeYzC12A
pro-tip: personality disorder diagnoses largely function as a way for psych professionals to wipe their hands of a patient they dislike and don't want to help, and even more than most psychiatric diagnoses, to blame individuals for the impact of structural violence on their well-being.
expropriating the practice of diagnosing people you want to write off as beyond help, reason, or ethics with personality disorders from psychiatric professionals into your day-to-day life is never gonna be liberatory or nonviolent. this is like learning how to "profile" "criminals" from the cops and then doing it to your friends, family, and ex-lovers.
for fuck's sake, if someone hurt and abused you just say that. even if you deciding everyone who ever hurt you is a narcissist or a sociopath or a histrionic never hurts *them,* it absolutely participates in the dehumanization that allows incredible violence to be heaped on madpeople who have never hurt you and never will
