A year or so ago the bipolar community here contributed to some infographics I put together. I just made some updates to the “Mania for Normies” handout; more feedback is always welcome, these are living docs!

I’d love for folks to share it with anyone who could benefit 😃

🙌 thank you carry on
An infographic titled “Stages of Mania in Bipolar I–II” from “one impossible thing at a time” by Luke Steuber. It is divided into five sections, each describing a different stage of mania, accompanied by blue and yellow illustrations. 1. Euthymia (yellow background): Quote: “Is this happiness? Is my bipolar cured?” • Stable phase called “normal.” • Responsible, focused, confident. • Worries about depression, may delay tasks. • Often diagnosed as cyclothymia. Illustration: Person holding balanced scales. 2. Hypomania (blue background): Quote: “Sorry to ghost you! I swear it won’t happen again!” • Easier social interactions, active on social media. • Starts projects like writing a business plan, overspending. • Rapid profile picture changes. • Thoughts speeding up. • Considered the limit of Bipolar II. Illustration: Person raising a hand with a light bulb above, standing in front of a crowd. 3. Mania (Manic Episode) (yellow background): Quote: “I’m not manic, listen, I think we can sell this.” • No need to eat, drink, or sleep. • Starts many projects impulsively. • Makes others uncomfortable. • Experiences “time dilation.” • Hypersexual, emotional, dehydrated. Illustration: Crowned figure standing above a group of smaller figures. 4. Mania (Mixed Episode) (blue background): Quote: “Maybe if I finish this one last thing I will matter.” • Energetic yet deeply sad. • Risk for substance abuse and self-harm. • Associated with creativity. • Quick but fixated thoughts. Illustration: Person surrounded by icons of droplets, flames, and hearts, representing intense emotions. 5. Psychosis (Psychotic Episode) (yellow background): Quote: “No time to discuss mania; bugs in the mattress.” • Psychosis is a state, not a condition. • More common in formal thought disorders. • Most likely in Bipolar I mania. • Important to have a plan; warn emergency services if necessary. Illustration: Person with question marks over their head and bugs around them.

"writing" with generative AI is so confusing to me because like... you wouldn't become a scuba driver if you hate the water. if you don't like to write, why is it so important to be a writer?

Having ever worked for or snitched to ICE should from now on be the kind of thing you have to run away from. In ten years when antifascists out you as a former ICE agent it should be the kind of thing where you have to pack your bags, immediately move town, and change your and your family’s names

ICE is entrapping people who are here legally---telling them to report to the Immigration Office to advance their status--and then abducts them for deportation without due process. This can't be legal.

They are just mean and nasty. Cruelty is the point.
