atp if you’re buying badges or in any way giving money to this shithole website, you’re supporting and giving money to a violent transmisogynist who has taken down accounts belonging to palestinian and sudanese families who were trying to live by raising money here.
ahmed himself was raising money to help his family. one of his siblings recently had a baby. ahmed was regularly posting to make sure that his family could afford necessities for that baby and staff just nuked his blog. there were so many hate campaigns against him started by prominent and famous accounts here (fuck you badjokesbyjeff). he still stayed here to ensure that he could help his people. i hope all the zionists on this shit site never get a moment of peace.
You can help Ahmed (@90-ghost) and donate to him here
This is Ahmed’s post where you can read about his family’s situation in his own words
fish :) i want to have an aquarium one day but i have no room for one and my parents are insistent i don’t use my money on that right now >_< idk what fish i would get… many are cool
we do need to revisit the wording of “you can’t have your cake and eat it too” because i don’t think it clearly enough conveys that it’s more that you can’t simultaneously retain a cake and also get to consume it (which would render you cakeless). for years i was like But why not….it’s my cake….?
this fucking problem is how they caught the unabomber
hey you should uh. elaborate. for my own personal satisfaction
the unabomber was pedantic about idiomatic phrases like “have your cake and eat it too” and rephrased it to “eat your cake and have it too” (which to be very fair makes sense). fast forward to when he starts writing manifestos. he uses the phrase word for word in his pedantic style and his brother (who has been keeping his eyes on the unabomber shit for obvious reasons) notices the phrase and is like “oh fuck that’s my fucking brother no one else fucking says that” and calls in an FBI tip
Well you can’t deliberately speak in a way nobody else does and also stay anonymous you know. Can’t eat your cake and have it too.
i have never met an unpsychotic person who knows what it actually means to “not encourage the delusion” …not a single one
what “don’t encourage the delusion” means:
don’t argue with or challenge the delusion—attempting to disprove someone’s delusions is not helpful at all and will result in that person not trusting you
assure the delusional person that they are safe; be open and honest at all times
encourage them to verbalize their feelings and offer protection to prevent injury to
themselves or, possibly, others
start building a trusting relationship with them rather than acting on a desire to control their symptoms
do not confirm or feed into the delusion by asking questions about it when the person is not experiencing a psychotic episode
what it does not mean:
insisting to a psychotic person experiencing psychosis that what they’re experiencing isn’t real
I don’t mean to trivialize psychosis by making a weird comparison, but this guide also serves as a handy checklist for helping someone through a bad drug trip. In both cases your number one priority is to get the person through whatever they’re dealing with unharmed.
i don’t think it’s trivializing at all, nor a weird comparison—as a
psychotic person who has had psychotic episodes
inadvertently triggered by drug use and/or worsened while trying to self-medicate
with drugs, i think this is an important addition.
