Just a quick note: I’ve made my outburst on Tumblr private yesterday (I’m not sure why you’re able to see it, Queenie?). So I don’t think that link works.
I am, however, writing a more indepth post on the way we talk about oppression/marginalisation and the narratives that are allowed (and aren’t) for mental illnesses in that framework.
I can’t see it, yes. It’s still private in terms of being hidden from me, tristifere. I look forward to your new in-depth post!
Oh, yikes, I’m sorry! I’m not sure why I’m able to see it either. Would you like me to remove the link?
