You know what I never see on the Internet? Psychosis positivity. I mean, every once in a while there's some post about psychosis that goes "as an ethnological curiosity, we'll mention that folks in other (not American) cultures may have more positive views of psychosis, and even have positive psychotic experiences that make them feel better instead of worse." Then they keep talking about people whose psychosis makes them feel like shit. Even on Tumblr, where you get posts from people who actually have psychosis, the best you'll get is "these are the techniques I use to reduce how shitty my psychosis makes me feel."

Eh, maybe what's at issue is my own narrow view of the world. I see plural and otherkin positivity on Tumblr. Either it's stuff I personally think is true and not psychotic, or it's stuff the people posting it think is true, so I'm not gonna insult them by calling them psychotic. Maybe actual psychosis positivity requires not caring which "truths" are provable.

(Sadly, I don't feel I can be neutral when Christian whackjobs keep trying to force the rest of us to live according to "truths" they can't prove.)
