😂 CoSo!
Choose your reason for being committed from this fine chart of asylum admissions, 1864-1889, will you? What're you in for?
Right?! How does one choose? 😅
@SaltyVeruca @MLClark
If masturbation is on there, why is suppressed masturbarion on there?
Questions . .
@CinnamonGirlE @MLClark Is that another phrase for thinking dirty thoughts? Regardless, my answer stands.
@SaltyVeruca @MLClark
😂🤣
Agreed!
@CinnamonGirlE @MLClark Personally I like shooting of daughter.
@SaltyVeruca @MLClark
How about "Women Trouble"?
Is that troubles women have OR troubles people have with women ? 😂🤣
@CinnamonGirlE @MLClark That is one big fucking category. I think the Barbie movie covered that one though. This list reads like a DSM draft.
@SaltyVeruca
@MLClark
😂🤣 what a great thread.
@CinnamonGirlE @MLClark This thread is women trouble.
@SaltyVeruca @MLClark
I am here for it 💃🏻
@CinnamonGirlE @MLClark I’m woman. I’m trouble by default. Therefore I’m also here for it.
@MLClark @SaltyVeruca
😂🤣
I belong there. It is known. 😂
deranged is on there too...and doing it for 30 years, and what does syphilis have to do with anything....?
@northernbassist @CinnamonGirlE @MLClark I’m too busy with my spinal problems from hard study to contemplate this.
@SaltyVeruca @northernbassist @MLClark And don't forget seduction and disappointment.
@northernbassist @CinnamonGirlE @SaltyVeruca
Uh oh, we've got a syphilis apologist up in here! 😅
(But seriously, we are so fortunate to live in a time of better prevention and prompt treatment, so we've all but forgotten the mental damage that syphilis used to do before it was treatable. History was a pretty rough terrain for many bodily ailments until quite recently!)
@northernbassist @SaltyVeruca @MLClark
Also masturbation and tobacco. 🚬
@MLClark vicious vices 🤣🤣
NOT to be mistaken for the mild-mannered vices. 🙃
I'm sure there's a day clinic for those...
@MLClark or a pill 😅
@MLClark
Imaginary female trouble
I got 99 problems but this... *might or might not* be one? 🤔😅
@MLClark 😆😂🤣
You spelled IM-purity test wrong, but otherwise carry on! 😂 A fine, high score!
@MLClark I had the Heebee Jeebees, Not Otherwise Specified.
Always an outlier, shining brightly even in the klink!
@MLClark
Tobacco and masturbation....so many questions.
@MLClark
I mean, who was left on the outside??
@MLClark
To be honest, some of these would be great band names. Seduction & Disappointment play all the hits!!
@MLClark Def Immoral Life
I mean, who can afford to live otherwise? 🙃
@MLClark LOL! A quick perusal would indicate masturbation, in many different forms, nearly outweighs then many forms of "female disease"!
It would be truly hilarious how many different ways female sexuality was pathologized if it weren't also very sad. 🙃 Points for variation, at least!
@MLClark Too many to choose from...
That's my issue, too! 😂
First of all, this is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
I'm going with novel reader...for thirty years. 😂
HAH! I KNEW YOU WOULD!!! 💫 😊
They'd better assign you a bed in the library, though. Otherwise this would be a very tough experience. :(
Where did you get this???
Posted in a thread shared by academics on another social media platform. Every now and then I see hilarious lists of reasons for death and desease in other centuries pop up online, and they always make me wonder (worry?) what we say today that will have future generations howling, too. 🙃
*disease: TIL that my phone autocorrects the English "disease" to Spanish "desease", a reflexive case for the verb to wish / to want. Huh! Well, TMYK. 🙃
It was a charming little typo. 😉
True! Since we're already looking at the uncharted absurdities of our own time in disbelief, can you even imagine what our survivors will think? 😬
Have you seen those videos where Gen Z is shown pictures or given objects from the 60s to 90s and asked to guess their function? Hilariously mortifying. The future is going to look at us with pity and bafflement in equal measure, I'm sure!
@MLClark 💯
@MLClark Dissipation of Nerves.
🤔 I wonder if the nerves just drift off into a fine mist. Or do they collect them as they dissipate off you, then return them with your other outside items when you check out?
@MLClark I don't think that's what it means.
Oh, sorry if you were taking it seriously. We have a playful vibe running up and down this thread right now. I was just teasing.
Dissipation of nerves is one of the few sensible options on the list for a reprieve from the world - good in any era!
@MLClark =)
@MLClark bad whiskey 🤣. Is that the same as, Sorry I had tequila shots.
Good liquor is no joke! Always drink like you know you'll end up in an asylum if you drink wrong! 🙃
@MLClark words to live by 👍
@MLClark Everything on here.
