Photograph taken from behind the front row of a counter-demonstration against fundamentalist Catholics. The fundamentalists in question are part of a group called Civitas Christiana, and the picture shows a group of people in special dress waving a red banner bearing a golden lion.

Just another Monday, trying to drown out the sound of fundamentalist Catholics protesting abortion rights.

Without putting too fine a point on it, what these Evangelical Christians are saying is that if Jesus did come back they'd kill him again for being too woke

Pill-shaming is ableism.

It derives from poor science literacy and pseudoscientific health ideology in the anti-psychiatry movement and alternative medicine industry.

There's no shame in accepting medication.

No one deserves to experience stigma.

In recent years I've been increasingly trying to emphasize that while the definitions, rules, concepts, etc. of formal logic are clear and precise and have objective application conditions (e.g., you either have a proof, or you don't; your rules are either sound, or not),

If you, as a social scientist, believe that AI is now a better social scientist than you, then (a) you’re probably right, and (b) sure sounds like a skill issue, y’know?

Well, no, they’re not just as wrong. The bigger error is not seeing that β€œtrying to win over voters from a party on the opposite end of the spectrum, whose values your core voters oppose” is not same as β€œchasing voters from party on same side ideologically whose values your core voters like.”

Thought I recognised the intern from somewhere ever since I first laid eyes on her. It finally clicked today. Not sure what to do with that realisation yet, lol.

i’m tired of every paper (even critical ones) on societal impact of AI starting by both-siding the β€œbenefits” and risks/harms of AI

in academia, i would like us to arrive at a collective reckoning that we don’t need to play both sides. it's totally legit to clearly state just the harms. period

Thus far, lamotrigine has brought my migraines down from four attacks to to only one attack a week! Curious to see if a slight dosage increase might eliminate them altogether :')

But apparently "MCAS" doesn't exist and I'm just an anxious person with a type A personality.

I suffer from chronic fatigue due to a myriad of issues, some of which partially psychological in nature, but what's really changed things around for me was my GP allowing me to try out mast cell stabilizers. World of difference.

Over at the other place, there's revived interest in conversion disorder and "considering the psychological factors of ME and Long Covid". Worst of all, the discussion doesn't take PEM into account, and calls all chronic fatigue CFS.

Mona Keijzer verlaat BBB en gaat als zelfstandig Kamerlid verder In een interview met De Telegraaf spreekt ze over een grote vertrouwensbreuk met de leiding van de partij.

Just four months after the last elections, and the Dutch House of Representatives already has two new split off parties. Both split offs are on the political right (from PVV and from BBB).

Did I just spend an exorbitant amount on a new schema therapy handbook that focuses on experiential approaches? MAYBE.

There are A LOT of fucking centrists on this app who still believe the left is just as bad as... *Checks notes* literal fucking Nazis.

Please explain to me how universal healthcare and free college makes us "just as bad as Nazis..."

And try to do it without sounding like a Nazi...

respected mental health clinicians talking about ME/CFS as largely psychosomatic feels like a punch in the gut

It really shouldn’t be surprising if your outlook on Covid is that precautions are upsetting and people who take them are neurotic, yeah, people sick with that inconvenient long term illness are not going to be coming to you for empathy. They actually may not like you at all anymore, in fact.

The emphasis is so often skewed towards the Cass Review and so rarely towards changes made in other countries that have expressly rejected the Cass Review and adopted an informed consent model, considering *this* to be best practice.
