I put together a website about BPD & how low-dose buprenorphine helped me become more stable. The endogenous opioid dysregulation theory suggests that people with BPD may have lower baseline endogenous opioids & end up trying to self-regulate through intense behaviors.

Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

Ask yourself if kids prefer toys, or stores. Games from a generation ago were allowed to be toys. Games today are forced to be stores.
Why do Gen Z have a growing appetite for retro tech?

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.
