Here’s What You Need to Know About Conversion Therapy

Gay conversion therapy, while extremely controversial, has proven itself to be a worldwide prominent fixture. Its practice continues in most countries around the globe as well as 41 states in the U.S. In recent years, a handful of countries – which include Argentina, Brazil, Taiwan and regions in Canada and Australia – have made the decision to ban conversion therapy. In fact, mental health officials in many countries and states/provinces where conversion therapy is legal share a general consensus that it’s not something anyone should be spending their money on. Why, exactly? Read on to see why conversion therapy isn’t worth anyone’s time.

What is Gay Conversion Therapy?

Gay conversion therapy is a practice that is meant to make LGBT people change their sexual orientation. Conversion therapy can also be referred to as reparative therapy, or Sexual Orientation Change Efforts (SOCE). Conversion therapy is not a standardized treatment approved by the American Psychological Association (APA).

Hey so friendly reminder about voting and elections that I haven’t seen going around yet but is SUPER IMPORTANT.

Watch what you wear and say while you’re waiting in line for the voting booth/at the polls. It is against federal law to do anything that might be considered campaigning once you’re there, and since we know that voter suppression is the name of the game this election, there will be people looking for ANY reason to remove you from the polling place. And they will nitpick. You have a shirt with a artistic picture of donkey on it? You’re visibly supporting the Democrats, you’re disqualified from voting. Want to wear a Black Lives Matter shirt? Not there you don’t. They’ll call it intimidation and kick you out. Pins, buttons, stickers, none of it. Wear the most bland, plain clothes you can imagine. 

And then keep your mouth shut. Even the slightest hint of discussion about which candidate you’re voting for can get used against you. Don’t assume the people around you are safe to discuss it with. You might be overheard. There WILL people watching for these things, hoping to get rid of anyone they can. Voter suppression isn’t just about making registration impossible. It happens at the polling stations too. Be smart, be bland, be quiet, and make sure your vote gets in. 

Also- and I have seen this mentioned but it bears repeating- DO NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR BALLOT. EVER. It’ll also disqualify your vote. Take a selfie when you’re out of their with your fun little sticker. 

Just to add on to this post - most polling places, particularly in regions with a history of VS, have teams of attorneys and other legal professionals (myself included, whaddup Allegheny county) waiting outside in case exactly things like this happen. If you get turned away and something seems fishy look for the election protection reps outside. You see cops in the polling place? You get asked for ID in a state that doesn’t require it? You get in trouble for the tone of your t shirt? Find the election protection team. You have a right to vote - don’t ever let anyone keep you out of the booth.

If you get popped for something that doesn’t seem right, find election protection reps or call 866-our-vote or text “OUR VOTE” to 97779. to be put in touch with people who help you vote, even if it means going to court.

 Some of you are reblogging because you think its funny that programmers would talk to ducks. I’m reblogging because I think its funny picturing a programmer explaining their code, realizing what they did when they explain the bad code, then grabbing the strangling the duck while yelling “WHY WAS THE FIX THAT SIMPLE!? AM I GOING BLIND!”

AS A PROGRAMMER I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU FUCKING DO WE HAD TO BAN THE DUCKS FROM MY CLASSES BECAUSE EVERYONE WOULD FLIP THE DUCK OR THROW IT AT A WALL OR SOMETHING WHEN THEY FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM IN THEIR CODE

so that’s the function of a rubber duck

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I work at a startup and part of the onboarding package you get when you first start working here now includes a rubber duck. We also have a bigger version of the duck for the extra hard problems. Sometimes one duck doesn’t cut it and you need to borrow your neighbors to get more ducks on the problem. One time we couldn’t figure out why something wasn’t working right so we assembled the counsel of ducks and by the grace of the Duck Gods were we able to finally come to a solution. These ducks have saved many lives and should be respected for the heroes they are.

I use this for writing, actually. Explain what I’m doing and what I want to do and the different ways i can get to point B from A, as well as the different problems, amazingly working them out as I explain why I could or couldn’t the different things. I love the Rubber Duck theory.

Former programmer, can confirm. We didn’t have a duck in our office so our other programmer, who I shared a space with, used me as a duck proxy. (For the explaining, not the throwing.)

There was more than one day where I’d casually hear “Hey can you be a duck for a minute?”
