There’s a pendulum swinging towards the middle. Under diagnosis, and then ultra trendy diagnosis, huge self-diagnosis, general personality trend to align with. Now it’s going to swing back, likely towards biomarkers, as the DSM VI is trying to focus on. Can we see this on a scan? If so it exists. And then the DSM XII will be like “fuck that.” Mental health has always wobbled between extremes and somehow found the truth in the middle.

5·7 days agoHe’ll forever be Leland Palmer to me, father to Laura as well as a lot of confused looks during the 90s.
The animal welfare committee has concluded the most humane way to coke up the fish is for the researchers to also do a few bumps so they feel like it’s a party.
22·8 days agoWanna know a secret… God didn’t even write that part. God’s version has him at a kmart in Toledo, Iowa buying the entire universe on a Saturday in 1997, at which point he installed it, but it did take several days because it was football season, but it was less than a week no matter what anyone else says.
This stuff used to bother me but then I observed nature and its cruel rules for long enough, and I realized that suffering is one of the few constants in life, one of the guarantees. Wasps that paralyze spiders for months so they can be eaten alive by their offspring, bird species where most chicks are left to stave to death, etc… yeah nature is just as cruel as humans can be, but at a much larger scale in perpetuity, and we’re a lot more efficient at turning that suffering into greater good that lessens the suffering of others in perpetuity. So, while I don’t condone or even like to think about baby monkey experiments, I will not bat an eye at lab mice being given Parkinson’s so we can observe and seek answers and cures.
39·21 days agoI do a powerwalk with my dog once a day, 1/2 hour at least.
I didn’t really realize it was doing me good until I went on a hike with a friend.
1/4 way up the mountain, he was throwing up beside the trail, had to turn back.
My heart rate never went above 100, I was barely sweating.
Good habits build a good body.
I’m buying fireworks this summer, but they aren’t being used on the 4th.
My boss burst in one day to tell me these were in the wood chips outside my work. I went out and sure enough, they were there, but so much smaller than I expected - I’d have missed them.
