    I’m trying to sleep but I’m SEETHING because my brother showed me a Facebook post an old teacher of his from high school made on Facebook making a joke about the massacre at Wounded Knee ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, what the FUCK

    Teachers are some of the most fucking racist ones out there. I have more memories of anti-native racism from my teachers than I ever have from the students. Fucking trash.

    doesthendnlive:

    “ “They had no regard. We were pleading to them to stop what they were doing, that if they continued they would break people’s arms, that people were in grave danger. And they didn’t listen. They didn’t care. They just looked right at us as if we weren’t saying anything,” said Molly Wickham, Gidimt'en member and spokesperson for the camp. “

    I hate this idea people have that if a parent walks in and turns off the tv while their kids are watching or playing something it’s evidence of some unhealthy attachment or addiction to technology if they get pissed off. If you walk up and slap a book out of my hand while I’m reading I’m going to have the same reaction, fuck off you’re not making some great social commentary you’re just being an ass hole.

    If you slap a sandwich out of my hands and I get pissed it doesn’t mean I’m addicted to eating it just means I was enjoying something and then you had to be an asshole lmao

    I usually let my kid get to a stopping point in a game or show/movie before making him turn it off, because I’m not like other moms, I’m like, a cool mom.

    Look if I told my kid 6 times to unload the dishwasher so I could load it and it’s literally the only chore I’ve asked her to do and she’s still watching Miraculous Ladybug Minecraft fanfiction on youtube instead of her chore I’m unplugging that shit and she can just be angry.

    I was thinking, if you took a more nuanced view of the reliability of prophets you could put together a sort of faith portfolio where, like, you put 60% of your faith in blue-chip religions like Christianity and Buddhism, then you have some fraction of small-cap religions that are less likely to be correct but will pay larger dividends to early adherents if they do turn out to be right, and then finally a bag of local cults at the bottom.

    Which is already good material but the next logical step is to develop hedging strategies for faith investment, which is a lot more interesting, because you have to figure out which religions are likely to have correlated and anticorrelated payoffs relative to various axes of uncertainty.

    “WOW IM SO GLAD MY DOCTOR TOLD ME ABOUT THIS” SAID NONE OF US EVER

    [Image: Screencap from the above website; you can click through to read the whole thing, but I’m going to copy-paste this same bit because it answers so many questions in my life - mostly related to “Why am I crying about this?”]

    Rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) is an extreme emotional sensitivity and emotional pain triggered by the perception – not necessarily the reality – that a person has been rejected, teased, or criticized by important people in their life. RSD may also be triggered by a sense of failure, or falling short – failing to meet either their own high standards or others’ expectations.

    Dysphoria is Greek for “difficult to bear.” It’s not that people with ADHD are wimps, or weak; it’s that the emotional response hurts them much more than it does people without the condition.

    When this emotional response is internalized, it can imitate full, major depression complete with suicidal ideation. The sudden change from feeling perfectly fine to feeling depressed that results from RSD is often misdiagnosed as rapid cycling bipolar disorder.

    It can take a long time for physicians to recognize that these symptoms are caused by the sudden emotional changes associated with ADHD and rejection sensitivity, while all other object relations are totally normal.

    When this emotional response is externalized, it looks like an impressive, instantaneous rage at the person or situation responsible for causing the pain. 50% of people who are assigned court-mandated anger-management treatment have previously unrecognized ADHD.

    Capslock translation from above: “Wow Im so glad my doctor told me about this” said none of us ever

    One more reblog for the road. I’ve seen at least eight people go “There’s a name for this?” as a result of sharing this link, and I want to try and reach even more. It’s so meaningful to me to know that there’s something going on, and that it’s not just me being inadequate at dealing with my emotions. When you consider the level of horror I feel over even minor screwups, my reactions are completely understandable. My feelings are valid.

    For anyone else out there who cries over spilled milk, or at the drop of a hat? This might be worth a read.

    This is your irregular reminder that Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria Is A (terrible, horrible, no good, very bad) Thing.

    Alternately, this is your notice that There’s A Name For That Horrible Experience.

    Support to all of my fellow ADHD-ers out there; RSD is made of terrible.

    Oh look, it me.

    I have ADHD and BPD and this is so relatable
