Not everything needs to have a deep psychological healing attached to it. Some women simply want to be fucked

They need to split Russel Brand up like the horse in the 2000 psychological schlock film "The Cell."

really cannot overestimate the psychological importance of tuesday when thinking about near and mid-term. the fact that democrats made this breakthrough will encourage people who might be formidable candidates to see if they can't do it too in the next cycle. winning builds on winning folks.

The psychological boost of Labour pulling ahead of National cannot be overstated for me

What Dawkins ignores here is that "Duty to [do conversion therapy]" and "Of course no parent should use physical or psychological abuse for any reason." are incompatible statements.
Just in case you're wondering how bad Dawkins is now. Well, he's this bad.

And yes, this is exactly how gay kids are treated by homophobes. Because anti-trans talking points are almost always recycled homophobia.

contact theory is probably the single most important social psychological theory that exists.
the thing about this I think is that a lot of casual transphobia does not survive contact with an actual trans person. people get hopped up on online bullshit stories, but faced with a real life human being, all the air goes out of it
Sarah McBride put up the strongest margins of any Dem on the ticket in DE, basically matched 2018 Dem margins, *and* flipped Sussex County blue for the first time since 2012. Seems pretty clear there’s no penalty for trans candidates at this point

1/ Murder and torture have become so normalised in the Russian army that they no longer attract much attention, a Russian warblogger says. Five years of brutality have resulted in the acceptance of practices that once prompted "horror and a normal psychological rejection". ⬇️

the sheer psychological damage of Washington, a state so many trans folks have seen as a haven, popularly voting to effectively torture young girls over *sports* is not one that goes away because it's thrown out later.
WA state supreme court is going to throw that shit out for sex discrimination ASAP but it is still so very very Not Great that right-wing money can get these ballot measures passed

i have psychological scarring from being on twitter for years and watching “what if good tho?” people become ravenous and outright blatant bigots and loons in public
November 8, 2026 at 6:24 AM
they're doing psychological warfare to this boy at this point

Liking mtsk is psychological torture

psychosis: a psychological condition in which the patient does bad things and i disapprove of them
what kind of psychosis is this?

7/ "This is, in fact, a very frightening emotional threshold that we’ve crossed without even realising where we’d ended up. In March 2022, any of these actions would have caused horror and a normal psychological rejection as the norm.

Try not to be born in a country that borders Russia and isn’t a NATO member. Because when #Russia is firing ballistic missiles at you while you’re sitting in the bathroom in an apartment with no electricity or heating, you might experience some psychological difficulties.

If Twitter is a bubble, they need to fortify that **** into an iron dome because now I know what a Malfoid is and I want monetary compensation for that psychological damage.
