The fact we still use the word “crazy” in our scripts is just plain nuts.

Crazy/nuts/mad/insane etc have all evolved their meaning/tone and wouldn’t be used to actually describe being mentally unwell anymore. Come on now.

Thank you!

Isn’t “nuts” considered just as problematic, though?

You didn’t invent it. It’s not yours.

I got served a YouTube ad for L’Oreal mascara, which claimed it makes your lashes appear “crazy-long.”

And I got to thinking—does that length equate to having sleeplessness for so long it results in psychosis? Is it equal to calling the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 3 a.m. because you're out of ideas on how to prevent self-harm? Is it equal to feeling so paranoid you believe your neighbors might be actively conspiring against you?

Here’s the thing, guys: If someone deadnames you, they’re dead to me. If someone drops the “n” word—even without the hard “r”—around me, I will do everything in my power to banish them to the shadow realm—no matter the context. I will use whatever pronouns you want to make you feel comfortable, and I will keep up with them, even if they switch from week to week.

But you have to do something for me: stop using the word “crazy” so casually.

I’ve been crazy. I self-identify as crazy. I am doctor-certified crazy. I'm not saying you can't call crazy crazy.

But crazy is my word—and your casual use of it diminishes its meaning

On behalf of the crazy community, I thank you.

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?
