TIL that the Count in Sesame Street does not count all the time to teach children numbers! In folklore, vampires had arithmomania, or an obsession with numbers. This derives from the old superstition that throwing poppy seeds on the ground stopped vampires because they had to count them all first.

I like the poster’s implication that the producers of Sesame Street did not put a counting vampiric count on a children’s educational series to teach kids how to count; this was just an incidental side effect of their fidelity to obscure vampire folklore.

“As a significant “feminised” category of mental illness, however, HPD was superseded in the DSM-III by the introduction of the controversial BPD, a label which has been increasingly applied to women, with around 75 per cent of all cases estimated to be female (Becker 1997 : xxii–xxiii). Seen as a milder form of schizophrenia and lying on the “borderline” between neuroses and psychoses, the concept has been used in psychiatry since 1938 (Decker 2013 : 196). Like other personality disorders, BPD has a notoriously low reliability level even by the generally poor standards of the DSM, and even within the profession is considered by many as yet another “wastebasket” category (though as Bourne ( 2011 : 76) ruefully remarks, the ambiguity of such personality disorders makes them particularly useful in policing deviance in the new century). One member of the DSM-III task force stated at the time of constructing BPD that “in my opinion, the borderline syndrome stands for everything that is wrong with psychiatry [and] the category should be eliminated” (cited in Decker 2013 :199). The chair of the task force, Robert Spitzer, admitted with the publication of DSM-III that BPD was only included in the manual due to pressures from psychoanalytically oriented clinicians who found it useful in their practices (Spitzer 1980 : 31–32). Such practices have been documented by Luhrmann ( 2000 : 113) who describes psychiatrists’ typical view of the BPD patient as “an angry, difficult woman—almost always a woman—given to intense, unstable relationships and a tendency to make suicide attempts as a call for help.” Bearing significant similarities to the feelings of nineteenth century psychiatrists towards hysterics, Luhrmann’s ( 2000 : 115) study reveals psychiatrists’ revulsion of those they label with a personality disorder: they are “patients you don’t like, don’t trust, don’t want … One of the reasons you dislike them is an expungable sense that they are morally at fault because they choose to be different.” Becker ( 1997 : xv) reinforces this general view of the BPD label when she states that “[t]here is no other diagnosis currently in use that has the intense pejorative connotations that have been attached to the borderline personality disorder diagnosis.” A bitter irony for those labelled with BPD is that many are known to have experienced sexual abuse in childhood (Ussher 2011 : 81), something they share in common with many of those Freud labelled as hysterical a century earlier; a psychiatric pattern of depoliticising sexual abuse by ignoring the (usually) male perpetrator, and instead pathologising the survival mechanisms of the victim as abnormal”

*walks into the GSA wearing a tshirt that says “yes i’m gay yes i’m homophobic” and immediately gets lectured by a girl who thinks that being “kinky” with her greasy centrist boyfriend makes her qu*er and her friend who headcanons alexander hamilton as a bi polyamorous stoner in her modern high school AU!fanfic for being ‘insensitive’, ‘a bad role model’ and ‘a poor representative of the qu*er community’*

Op I’m going to be real with you? I’m going to be honest? This type of post is just the “sjw tumblrina superwholock fan at Starbucks gets triggered when I say there’s only two genders” species of unfunny repetitive strawman shit that no one outside Tumblr likes, understands, or sympathizes with.

i used to think posts like this were funny but now I’m getting sick of them bc it implies the worst things you could ever find at a gsa are strawmen vapid (implicitly bi) women with clueless ~str8 boyfriends~, as if there isn’t plenty of intercommunity cringe elsewhere

& like it’s literally heartbreaking when younger ppl respond / tag with “this is why I’ve never gone”. i went to a very homophobic high school & was friends with all the lgbt kids in an underground gsa sort of way, and they were mostly pretty liberal, some of them liked supernatural & stuff, but it was an important support when i was lonely and reading dissertations from more educated tumblr users wasn’t going to fix my homophobic home life. even if plenty said dumb biphobic/sexist things to me they were good teens who went thru a lot n we all learned n changed

i don’t doubt plenty of gsas are terrible and that op has had bad experiences but to gain from just READING this that every gsa is the same worldwide, or even the same kind of problematic, is sad. ultimately most people across the acronym are normies. if u need a gsa, try urs, if u don’t, that’s also valid

Lady Gaga: Oh I was doing all of these things with R Kelly in a PTSD-induced haze 😔 When I said we had a bond and our collaboration was natural that was just me battling with my demons 😔 When I said we both suffer from the press reporting untrue things about us I was just grappling with being a survivor 😔 (Go see my movie) 😔 When I didn’t mention R Kelly during my #MeToo speeches that was just (spins wheel) patriarchy 😔

Vogue, twitter scholars, every mainstream American publication: She is so brave. She is so fearless. This will promote change.

“ex-libfem” in bio just means “i used to think danaerys targaryen was a feminist icon but then i stopped watching game of thrones and reading buzzfeed and now i post about how much i hate trans women 200 times per day, i have never done anything that remotely contributes to any meaningful cause in my life”
