Anyone else hate that ADHD-isn’t-real documentary on Netflix as much as I did? Not once did they interview an actual person with ADHD who stimulants have helped. Just flatly stated anyone who takes adderall is an addict and called it a day. #takeyourpills
@JaneOst_ I know exactly the kind of person you’re talking about that makes you hear this as a right wing dog whistle but I’ve enjoyed reading the replies from leftists who can’t find a party left enough for them who are horrified at the suggestion
@jarrylew Thing I know now that would have changed my life at 21- arrogant, judgmental pricks trying to shill self help garbage needn’t be humored for even one minute
@Artists_Ali I feel like Rowling is the most contemporary example but fat phobia is such a trope in British childrens lit. I mean every fat kid in Roald Dahl’s books was always portrayed as stupid/ a liability to the main character

@RottenInDenmark People will have disappointing sex when they’re young no matter what adults teach them. Educating kids about consent will mitigate that but at a certain point you just gotta live and learn. Mistakes are guaranteed. This is not news
@hilaryagro Everyone’s talking about the age you’re supposed to get your period and not talking about the assertion that sexual assault is caused by capitalism?? Seems bold to assume we know all sex was consensual before modern times
