hey shout out to PBS and public libraries

like dudes for real PBS has so many resources for education and stuff. you can watch HOURS of documentaries online for free on their site.

like no joke go on pbs dot org right now and you’ll find an entire netflix of public television with full transcripts to boot. the american experience site alone is loaded with multipart docuseries about american history

the availability can vary but even then watch pbs sometimes!! they have really cool crap on all the time. sometimes they play ballets and broadway shows. (donation ad voice) support public television

strange and bizarre how community-funded and supported programming and resources are made to be free and easy to access, and it’s some of the highest quality stuff you can get my friends! sorry not sorry socialism works

freud: EVERY dude wants to fuck his mom and and EVERY girl wants to fuck her dad and also wants to be a man secretly 

men: WOW!!!!!!!!!

“In the 1890s, when Freud was in the dawn of his career, he was struck by how many of his female patients were revealing childhood incest victimization to him. Freud concluded that child sexual abuse was one of the major causes of emotional disturbances in adult women and wrote a brilliant and humane paper called “The Aetiology of Hysteria.” However, rather than receiving acclaim from his colleagues for his ground-breaking insights, Freud met with scorn. He was ridiculed for believing that men of excellent reputation (most of his patients came from upstanding homes) could be perpetrators of incest. Within a few years, Freud buckled under this heavy pressure and recanted his conclusions. In their place he proposed the “Oedipus complex,” which became the foundation of modern psychology. According to this theory any young girl actually desires sexual contact with her father, because she wants to compete with her mother to be the most special person in his life. Freud used this construct to conclude that the episodes of incestuous abuse his clients had revealed to him had never taken place; they were simply fantasies of events the women had wished for when they were children and that the women had come to believe were real. This construct started a hundred-year history in the mental health field of blaming victims for the abuse perpetrated on them and outright discrediting of women’s and children’s reports of mistreatment by men.”

Definitions of “I’m fine” from someone with chronic pain

  • I’m having a relatively low pain day
  • I feel normal but don’t want to bum you out
  • I’m hurting a lot but I don’t want you to think I’m complaining
  • I’m hurting a lot but you’re only asking to be nice so I won’t tell you that
  • I’m not doing fine but I’m trying to convince myself I am
  • I am too tired to tell you how I actually feel
  • It makes me too upset to tell you how I actually feel
  • I have forgotten what “fine” is so I use the word and I hope you don’t question it

This list is by no means complete, these are just what I find most often in my life
