If you have ever wondered how would it be if we’d all have clothes tailored individually? Every piece of clothing, fitting everybody exactly how they want to, made from the materials they wanted, and made in an exact way they have imagined it
What if the only way that could have happened was through communism, and the world has missed the chance of having that? (Or…. Did it? DUN-DUN-DUUUUN!)
So, this is kind of old news because its from around a year ago, but it’s still relevant.
So, I have ADHD. But I am not fully diagnosed. And supposedly, in my country…. I can’t be.
Yeah, you read that right. Even though it is a diagnosis, I supposedly cannot be diagnosed with it. That’s literally what I was told by two ‘professionals’. They have signed papers about me having ‘characteristics of ADHD’, but not F90.1 by ICD, which in our version of it says that’s ADHD – a sub-section of hyperkinetic disorder.
Supposedly ADHD can only be diagnosed in children and adolescents, but not anybody over 18. Never heard of that bullshit, and neither did ICD – if it would be in manual otherwise, and there’s nothing like that in there. And, on top of that, it cannot be diagnosed in somebody who already is diagnosed with autism, which I do have a diagnosis for. The first thing is the claim of those ‘professionals’, but the second one is literally in ICD-10, which is as wild as it fukcing sounds.
But that’s not all. In ICD-11, it doesn’t change for the better. It’s actually changing for worse, for both conditions, as the exclusion of autism in ADHD diagnosis stays, and functioning labels of autism not only stay, but are expanded upon, and will include intellectual capabilities, which until now were a separate thing.
I am so very upset and angry about ‘the establishment’, and cannot really express how fucked up ICD and the medical industry is.
It was a mistake for many reasons.
It was a mistake, because people started going very hard for their own limitations, as if it’s catch them all tournament and the more you have, the higher on the boards of leaders you are.
It was a mistake, because oppression olympics had reared its ugly head once again, turning up not only for the party, but taking residence. It seems likely it’s here to stay.
It was a mistake, because it doesn’t actually change anything about facebook itself. Nothing about the company’s policies are changed or improved because of it. It stays a shitshow still. Nothing gets done, but a bunch of people telling other bunches of people they should do xyz because that’s the correct etiquette now, but the etiquette is not ever explained or pointed out until it’s time for banning people. And if you don’t get on with the program that you know nothing about and you find yourself on leftbook, caught off-guard, those edgy leftlords will get you banned. Because of course, you should know about this program nobody ever told you about! Typical leftlord fucking bullshit.
It was a mistake, because fb is just another intelligence agency anyway (just like google or twitter), which gets personal information weaponized against the very people the site was supposedly created for. It is not only used for personalized advertisement (which in and of itself is a big, bright, glowing alert of NO), but it’s also used to alert authorities of people’s immigration status, it is used for letting abusers know where their victims are going, it is used to alert employers when workers say anything negative about their job to fire them, it is used to ban people from using these media outlets for being a part of a ‘minority group’ (banning trans people and asking them for 2 – TWO! – ID’s to let them use it, continuous ban of Black and colonized people of the world for anything and everything, anyone?).
And now, there are a bunch of people, most of them white, running those groups and thinking they have any sort of claim to being ‘just’ in their judgement and treatment of members. Bunch of hogwash, just plain silencing, dogpiling, and gaslighting. They will keep the rules hidden, and then accuse people of not keeping in line with them. They will cite one part of the rules, that defies something else in them that was in place supposedly to keep people from being dogpiled and prematurely banned in the first place.
Eh, I’ve been really fed up with leftbook. Lately more so than ever. I’m thinking about deleting the account, but I have no clue whether or not I’ll be just leaving my personal information that way to fb admins and if there might be a specific clause in the rules about them getting ownership of whatever you have on your profile after you let go of your account. I am very paranoid about all the social media and how it is used to pit people against each other, when we should be fighting together against a common enemy, the corporations. It really is some new type of drug people get addicted to, that fb drama.
This is a lot of thoughts at once, but I already said, this is going to be rambling mess. I’ll be coming with more soon!
I’m from Poland. And I have had my experiences with blogging before. Quite long ones. I mentioned I’m from Poland for a simple reason – every other time blogging, I was writing in Polish. But, since then, I have changed a lot, evolved, grown as a person and I have a lot to say. And what I have to say is for the world to hear, as a lot of people don’t understand or know what is going on in Poland, what’s the historical significance of my country and its position, and its significance in today’s global politics.
At first, I just wanted to start a YouTube channel. That was several years ago. That’s a lot of time. I have (had) a tone of scripts laying about, and I can’t get myself to start turning them into videos. There was so many things that I have put in my mind, either as arguments against it or as excuses to postpone it.
Thus, we come to this moment, when I came to realisation that I can start doing something with those scripts. And I will. So instead of dreaming to become the ‘next YouTube star’ or whatever, I changed the priorities in my head, got an iniciative, and switched it to writing.
But now, to what I am going to do with this blog of mine, we come. This part is tricky, though I have big plans. I am going to put that big brain and juicy takes to some use and write, write, write.
I love identity politics, so here is me: white (Polish, 1/8 Armenian), trans and neutrois, aroace, autistic, with ADHD, disabled, mostly semi/nonverbal.
This is going to be a wonderful pile of rambling. Welcome to my rambling mess then!
