…Bill Maher said legalizing weed is the next “civil rights movement”

are you fucking kidding me

how is he not a ‘libertarian’ yet

it’s not even like he’s coming from the point of the criminalization of weed being a racially motivated way to put people in jail, especially in profit prisons and all those oppressive elements to it oh no no

no. no no that’s not his motivation

that’s just a bonus +1 argument for him to seem ~*progressive*~

he’s just a stoner that wants to buy it over the counter and walk around with a joint and smoke on the show and feel hip and relevant

like stfu you’re rich and white don’t pretend like you can’t smoke pretty much openly freely whenever wherever anytime

fuck this self congratulatory bullshitter and the ‘liberals’ like him.

comparing legalizing weed (especially as a rich white dude) to human rights and the civil rights movements is just boooo

boooooooooooooo

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

“You want me to be a tragic backdrop so that you can appear to be illuminated, so that people can say ‘Wow, isn’t he so terribly brave to love a girl who is so obviously sad?’ You think I’ll be the dark sky so you can be the star? I’ll swallow you whole.”

Unfortunately true.

It’s a bit unfair to compare something life threatening to something not immediately life threatening.

Also, psychiatric care is really just a nice way of saying, “mind-altering drugs”.

I’m writing my own response to this, because honestly I am absolutely SICK of this photo set and its ignorant comments and have a lot of things to say that haven’t already been covered.

Hello there, my name is Stiv, I’m almost 21 years old, and I have been mentally ill as far back as my conscious memory goes. I have Borderline Personality Disorder, OCD, and dysthymia as official diagnoses. I also might have some other issues my therapist hasn’t disclosed to me because BPD patients sometimes have an issue where any new diagnosis becomes their new identity, and I totally understand their fears.

Do you want to know the main theory as to why I am mentally ill?

Physical illness.

The day before my fourth birthday, in upstate new york, in the year 1996, I got bit by a tick and by the end of the night of my birthday, I had a full-blown fever, bullseye rash, and aches and chills.

That’s right, I had lyme disease.
This might sound unrelated, but there are new studies coming to the surface regarding young children who had lyme disease - many of them have various neurological and mental illness symptoms, and BPD is particularly common among people who had lyme disease as small children. One of my best friends also had lyme, and she has BPD traits. Her little sister had it too and she has full blown BPD at age 15.

The bacteria that causes lyme disease infects the spinal cord and nervous system in children much quicker than it does in adults. It’s thought to cause neurological damage.

And yes, at that age, lyme disease almost killed me.

But years later, my BPD almost killed me more than once. I wanted to die.

What really, really baffles me about everything is, this is just one example of many, MANY instances of a physical illness, life-threatening or no, becoming a mental illness. Many older people with chronic pain become depressed, anxious, or develop substance abuse issues. Hell, why do you fucking THINK people with cancer get therapeutic counseling?!

“NOT IMMEDIATELY LIFE THREATENING” also pisses me off, because nobody who has been in a room with a person who has just attempted suicide and can come out and say that shit.

Suicide is a HUGE risk in BPD. 10% of BPD patients eventually successfully commit suicide.

That’s REALLY high

and do you fucks know why there is shitty quality of care for mentally ill people?

BECAUSE OF SHIT LIKE THIS

People spread myths about mental illness like “they’re not life threatening” and these myths are one of the biggest contributors to stigma.
As a result of stigma, people won’t admit they’re mentally ill, people won’t admit their relative is mentally ill, or their friend, and because of stigma, very little hospital funding actually goes into helping people on psychiatric inpatient and outpatient units. Our medications are ridiculously expensive ($700 for Abilify without insurance) and not well-researched and many of the newer ones could be dangerous, as they were just shuffled onto the market without extensive years of study.
Many psychiatrists in the United States are not psychiatrists because they wanted to help the mentally ill, but because they were failing out of med school. There’s actually a shortage of people who actually give a fuck in the systems that are supposed to be helping us.

I hope you’re all happy with yourselves because this is an attitude that legitimately kills people.

Pregnancy isn’t a punishment, it’s a consequence.

Forcing someone to continue an unwanted pregnancy because you think they deserve it for having sex is turning pregnancy into a punishment rather than a consequence.

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 16:40:18 -0400

“

A catcall is entirely about reminding you that you are not yours. The purity myth is entirely about reminding you that you are not yours. The fetishization of female purity in a world where catcalls are an acceptable form of communication telegraphs one thing very clearly:

“Women, stop sexualizing yourselves—that’s our job, and you’re taking all the fun out of it.”

The sexualization of women is only appealing if it’s nonconsensual. Otherwise it’s “sluttiness,” and sluttiness is agency and agency is threatening.

If you want to pretend that young women aren’t coerced into the porn industry and that a lot of sexual violence doesn’t happen there that’s on you, but don’t act like those speaking out against that are some how sex negative puritans.

To grok /ˈɡrɒk/ is to intimately and completely share the same reality or line of thinking with another physical or conceptual entity
