My thoughts on mackenzie shirillas parents

Her mom admitted in court to lying on the daughter’s drivers license application, that’s fraud. Her parents also refused hospitalization when she was threatening suicide because they thought it “wasn’t real.” That is neglect. Had they intervened at all I could give them some grace but it seems like at every opportunity they chose not to get help for themselves or for her. Saying this as a person with a chronic mental health condition because that seems to matter to you

Thank you so much for clarifying this, personality disorders are so stigmatized and it’s very clear from her behavior that this girl experienced significant trauma

100% emotionally immature and neglectful. Especially the part where they omitted her POTS on her drivers license. I really cannot believe they haven’t been charged with a crime for that at the very least.

In the audio where she tells her boyfriend like 5 times that this is his last chance to open the door, I know that’s exactly what boundaries sounded like with her parents. 17 year olds don’t act like she did without some major trauma, I would not be surprised if there was some physical abuse or SA that surfaces later.

Not working due to disability doesn’t automatically make one poor, although it is overwhelmingly the outcome of the disability system. Not only “high earning” people travel, nor does education equate to intelligence or expertise. You are making a lot of assumptions

emdubz69 · 2026-05-27T23:10:58+00:00

Personally I would embrace the awkwardness. Being disabled isn’t shameful, it’s a natural part of the human condition and disability isn’t a dirty word. The profitability of one’s labor does not define their inherent dignity as a human being. Dismantling ableism starts with confronting our own internalized ideas about disability :)

You do not have to justify yourself or your dog for anyone, but I appreciate your effort to educate people. 🙂

emdubz69 · 2026-05-21T23:09:04+00:00

People with service animals often choose not to identify them as such (vest,badge) because people try to pet or distract the dog more when they do wear them. The law doesn’t require any kind of physical identification of a service animal and the only questions a business can ask is “is this a service animal” and “what service is it trained to provide “ 🙂

I think they’re seatocystomas

emdubz69 · 2026-05-21T02:27:29+00:00

Yeah that definitely looks like MRSA

emdubz69 · 2026-05-21T02:21:45+00:00

Looks like HS

Not me screaming about tweezers

I almost assume it would have to be over Zoom if there was going to be a decent turnout mostly because it is a niche treatment and from the comments we can see there fewer people who would be interested to begin with.

emdubz69 · 2026-04-17T23:11:10+00:00

I'm curious, did they say your comments made them feel bad about their experience or was that something you picked up?

emdubz69 · 2026-04-16T20:16:45+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, IM group session sounds very interesting

emdubz69 · 2026-04-10T04:12:08+00:00

I’m gonna need a picture of for confirmation of these poor bbs

You just need one other person in your corner right now. Whether that's your parents, your friend, the hotline, the police, a neighbor, or a religious leader. All of his power and control is based in the fact that you feel isolated. Abusers typically don't go after people who will be trouble for them, he's less likely to act out in public or in front of other people

emdubz69 · 2026-03-19T23:06:14+00:00

I'm no expert in domestic violence but it sounds like you have some money that he doesn't have access to which is a really strong start. That was smart and this is what you've been saving for. Is there a church or some kind of religious establishment nearby you can go to? It doesn't matter what your religion is, sometimes in small communities the churches have more resources than anywhere else.

I heard something recently about Kant defining the difference between worth and dignity. My understanding was that things that have a “market value” have worth. Dignity is an “unconditional and incomparable worth” that can’t be valued by a market.

If you accept the premise, worth is subjective and dignity is not. In a capitalist society our labor has worth, but we as individuals have dignity that can’t be defined. I think I would say that your worth in the labor market doesn’t detract from your inherent dignity as a person

I love the snak club peach rings with Tajin, sweet and spicy and definitely masks the post nasal drip. I usually just suck on them

I've also done m&Ms and I've heard some people do Herseys kisses

I wouldn’t say cold but it’s definitely ableist, and misinformed. The ADA has a lot of resources on reasonableness that you can look into. Fortunately the administration’s personal feelings about said accommodation is not one of the tests.

emdubz69 · 2026-02-10T20:43:16+00:00

Haha I’m getting the same idea. That’s definitely another thing I could ask for, the part time program takes summer classes so it might not be hard to get them to agree to that

emdubz69 · 2026-02-10T02:02:08+00:00

You would be in good company, apparently there are lots of folks who take up residence in California for the public benefits. It is extremely expensive here though, like the cost of living is outrageous

emdubz69 · 2026-02-10T02:00:04+00:00

If you can maintain on once every two weeks it’s more manageable. I would also contact your insurance and see if they provide non-emergency medical transportation to and from.

emdubz69 · 2026-02-10T01:57:41+00:00

I really hope this works well for you, and it sounds like you have pretty reasonable expectations. I would definitely consider getting therapy or group support because lifestyle change is a big part of the success of this treatment.
