hi I’m a therapist
some people come to me to break down severe childhood trauma
some people come to me because their job is super stressful
some people come to me because they’re worried all the time about stuff that they know they shouldn’t be worried about but they worry anyway
some people come to me because they’re bad at focusing
some people come to me because their mom said they should but they’re enjoying the experience anyway
what i’m saying is there is no wrong time, reason, or explanation to come see a therapist. we’re ready for you.

also an addendum to the hunger games slide, when they put out a casting call for the role of Katniss, they specifically asked for only caucasian actors to audition, which left out any possibility for any amazing PoC actors to have been discovered.

i hope this was informational and i didnt leave anything major out. if anything is wrong or needs to be updated, message me and i’l fix any fallacies!

halloween is here so let’s get this education rolling

There, now y’all don’t get to act like you don’t know why blackface is wrong.

Would you mind elaborating on why the right to bodily autonomy trumps the right to life? It’s an ethical debate I’ve struggled with, and it would be awesome to have someone else’s perspective. Thank you!!

prochoice-or-gtfo:

Because we have legal precedence of a right to bodily autonomy but not life. People are not forced to donate blood/organs/tissues to save the lives of others, regardless of relationship or reason of need. Parents do not have to donate to children, even though they are the reason those children exist. People needing organ donations are allowed to die on waitlists even though we put millions of perfectly good organs into the ground or crematoriums if the people who had those organs didn’t give consent for them to be taken after death. That’s how much we value bodily autonomy over people’s lives. Those organs literally do nothing but rot in the ground but corpses’ wishes are respected.

Now consider pregnant people who wish to have abortions, who are told that fetuses, a neutral party that doesn’t even know it exists, deserve to be able to gestate without enthusiastic consent. Doesn’t matter if the pregnant person goes into poverty over it. Doesn’t matter if their existing kids suffer. Doesn’t matter if they’re kicked out of school, abused by their families, experience dysphoria, nothing. That fetus deserves to control your body because you dared to have sex. That’s all it takes for people who can get pregnant to have fewer rights than a dead body. That’s how little we value people who can get pregnant and their rights as human beings.

The right to life does not exist. If it did, the world would revolve very differently than it currently does. The “right to life” is a convenient line trotted out to justify the misogynistic oppression and control of pregnant people.
