here’s an idea: notice toxic trends in your behavior and, idk, change them

the fact that people are complaining on this post that they can’t change their behaviors that hurt others because they have x mental illness and We Can’t All Be Neurotypical Karen is absolutely fucking wild. do you realize your arguments have come full circle to being indistinguishable from the most crude, generic “mentally ill people are inherently dangerous and/or abusive” ableist rhetoric? you always have the agency to address the ways in which you are hurting others (or yourself). maybe not instantly. maybe not effortlessly. but it IS within your abilities and it is something you owe to your community and yourself

and ultimately, having a mental illness doesn’t make your harmful behavior somehow not harmful. nothing will ever give you the right to put someone else through trauma.

Man invented religion to make god in his image. Women invented science to care for our bodies and men called it witchcraft and burned us for knowing the medicinal uses of herbs. Midwives were washing their hands while aiding birth at the same time that male doctors would move from one patient to another with blood still on their hands from the last.

They shamed us for using poison and claimed true self defense is “equal force” as if a woman’s bare hands and arm strength and shoulders were indifferent from a man’s, as if humans got to the top of the food chain by brute force rather than our brains. They did this without empathizing with the reasons we might need to do so.

“Take me, take me back to your bed. I love you so much that it hurts my head. Say ‘I don’t mind you under my skin, I’ll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in.‘ 

When we were made, we were set apart. Life is a test and I get bad marks. Now some saint got the job of writing down my sins. The storm is coming, the storm is coming in.

Take me, take me back to your bed. I love you so much that it hurts my head. I don’t mind you under my skin, I’ll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in. 

Well, you’re my favourite bird and when you sing, I really do wish that you’d wear my ring. No matter what they say, I am still the king. Now the storm is coming, the storm is coming in.”
