mh, medication (+)
#itakemypillsbecause they help me function. I didn't like what my depressive disorder did to me, how it ruled my life and colored everything I did. I may have to keep taking the pills the rest of my life, but I'd much rather have them than have to live under that cloud again. #mh
polytheistic theology
@indi yessssss. a mountain-god lives as long as a mountain, and has as much regard for humans as a mountain. if you worship it, you might get some of its attention in the form of helpful assistance, yay! but if you don't worship it... it's still going to be *there*, it's just not going to be paying attention to you. XD
polytheistic theology
@indi @Thaminga @starkatt I think people see immaterial things through personal filters; for a long time, I saw everything through dragon-filters, so everything looked like dragons to me. a lot of things that looked like dragons to me *weren't* actually dragons; but that's how I was able to perceive/understand them. I think human-shaped is the default human perception standard, for obvious reasons. XD
polytheistic theology
@indi @starkatt according to my personal cosmology, it's more that they... require attention to... hmm. interact with the material world? if they get less attention, they "fade away" from our perceptions; but if we resume paying attention to them, it gets their attention in return and they interact with us more. but they don't stop existing; they go exist somewhere else. XD
polytheistic theology
@indi @starkatt also, I think that gods can merge, like the populations that worship them do; and new gods bud off from older ones, as a new group finds that it has new needs that aren't being met by the previous iteration. Catholicism and its ongoing plethora of saints and Madonnas is a good example. there are a *lot* of Catholics whose worship of "God" as understood by the Vatican is entirely secondary to continued veneration of their local deity in different robes.
polytheistic theology
@indi @starkatt as much as I like the story American Gods, I think it's wrong about the life cycle of deities. I think that it's *very* difficult and rare for a god to "die." they change, they adapt, but their core is built around one or another fundamental aspect of human nature, and unless/until *that* aspect in all of humans disappears, the god will still be with us--even if we don't know its name, or see it as a personified force.

gender dysphoria survey!
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Gender-Dysphoria
"During the survey, you will be asked to think about your experiences of gender dysphoria and provide examples of these feelings. You will also be presented with traditional measures of gender dysphoria and asked how well they capture, or fail to capture, your experiences. We hope to use this information to improve existing measures and the current understanding of dysphoria."
