"I simply can"t communicate my needs-" learn how to.

"I"m bad at communicating my feelings-" learn it then.

"I constantly lose friends because I don"t keep up with them-" make an effort.

"I just have terrible emotional regulation-" self-reflect. Get better.

"Sorry I"m always late-" improve your time management strategies.

"Everytime I meet this person they make me feel awful-" don"t meet them anymore. I know it"s hard, do it anyway.

"My relationship with my partner is suffering because I never talk to them about what I need and want-" they can"t read your mind. Learn to talk.


If you are an adult, you can learn how to handle your own feelings. Sit down, write it down, self-reflect, make strategies. Seek change. Better yourself.

Weaponized emotional incompetence, where you expect people around you to handle your issues without ever trying to change, isn"t the way to go. You have agency, use it.

I want to add something to this post because it"s been gaining traction:

Being in therapy is not the end-all fix for your problems and issues either. Don"t get me wrong, therapy is good and important. But if you expect your therapist to "fix" you while you play a passive role in your own healing, it"s not healing at all.

Getting better, self-improvement and healthy emotional regulation will ALWAYS demand work from YOU. Not your therapist, not your friends, not your partner. You gotta put in actual hard work to make changes to your own life. A diagnosis isn"t an excuse to stagnate, and it"s not an excuse to treat people like shit or expect them to accommodate you far beyond any reasonable expectations.

Your therapist only has one hour with you a week.* You have the rest of the hours.

It’s weird man, I’ve realized that most people don’t value honesty in practice. They care about keeping the peace and not rocking the boat. They can know something is wrong, but if it’s unpopular to say, even when they’re given a golden opportunity to say it, they just won’t. I wish more people would just be ok with being disliked. Who cares if other people think poorly of you when you’re just saying what is so obviously true? The truth is the most important thing in almost every situation.

Stay vigilant. While Trump is popping off about Canada, Greenland, and Mexico, Republican Andy Biggs has introduced House Resolution 7.

This line, "Whereas health care for women should also address the needs of men, families, and communities as they relate to women’s health care," implies that men could potentially dictate women"s healthcare; for example, a woman might not be able to use birth control without her husband"s permission.

I know that a few states still require written spousal consent for sterilization, and I am concerned that this bill could introduce the same concept for smaller healthcare decisions.

The primary focus of healthcare should be the patient, not the people surrounding them.

Hero of the Year 2025

I"m calling it early - I doubt anyone will beat The Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde

(I sure hope I"ve addressed her correctly)

For the most stunning act of bravery, class, integrity, and speaking truth to power that has graced the USA in far too long.

Not a single shake in her voice as she spoke directly to one of the most vengeful, spiteful, and (unfortunately) powerful people on the planet, while also receiving glares of hate and outrage from the despicable VP and his wife.

It"s not the first time she"s stood up for what is right in defiance of trump"s actions, but while many may speak out on it, there have been scarcely any with the backbone to follow through on the opportunity to do it to his face, and especially on live television. She had her moment, and she didn"t waste it.

May she be the inspiration we all take forward with us into the turbulent times ahead.

rest in peace to Shannon Hanchett, and Oklahoma woman and bakery owner who died due to after getting put in a “temporary” cell during a mental health crisis. The room she was put in had no sink, toilet, and no bed for twelve days. The lights were kept on 24 hrs a day so she couldn’t sleep.

Allegedly she was denied water for 12 straight days.

At the time of her death, police and staff were joking and laughing just several feet away from her body.

Damn. Sounds like she was calling 911 because her husband had a gun and she was afraid he was gonna kill her kids, and was saying "I"m so scared he"s gonna kill my kids" while being tased during her arrest.

Passed in 2022.

there is an incredibly high likelihood this woman and her children were being abused for her to fear for their lives because her husband had a gun (she could have been in an altered mental state too but why would you assume that instead of assessing a potential threat first?) and the officer laughed at her because HE had a gun and HE wasn’t a threat to HIS children so why should her husband be a threat to his?

why would you arrest someone for ‘misusing’ 911 in this circumstance when it seems very blatantly that it was not misused, they were simply irritated? why the goddamn fuck would you ever be breaking out a fucking taser? how the hell did she end up in a hold like that in a cell that should never have been like that in the first place, aren’t involuntary psych holds a max of 72 hours? why was she held like that at all? why didn’t anyone take her seriously? now she’s dead for no reason which is an enormous tragedy of its own and those children she was trying so hard to spare are without a mother to protect them from what could very possibly be a violent scenario. good lord.

My heart hurts for her. This is so fucked up. I have no words

This comment by @manie-sans-delire-x got me thinking about the case of Amanda Todd.

Amanda Todd was a teenage girl who was blackmailed into flashing her breasts on a video chat, relentlessly bulled to the point of suicide and even after her death was widely mocked online.

How many other women have taken their own lives after having intimate photos of themselves shared? Yet this creep willingly exposing himself in public multiple times is a victim?

Cry me a fucking river.
