attention shaming

The practice on social media (Facebook in particular) of chastising others for responding to the news they are responding to, accusing them of being distracting from "more important" issues, as determined by the scolder.
Lauren's most recent episode in attention shaming Dirk was for tweeting about Sean Spicer's latest gaffe instead of a new report from Greenpeace on the near extinction of Zimbabwean duck-billed platypi due to climate change.

Immediate Medical Attention

If I do not receive it... I will die. Whatever happens after is on the rest of you. Because I will be dead. Even if I were to reverse every position I have ever had, that will not change what other people are going to do in response to the things that happen to me. There is no undoing things for me. Either my brain hurts or it doesn't. I am either in a cage or not in a cage. You are either actively using the symptoms of an illness people to not have against people or you are not doing that. This is not supposed to be visible to the public. Who's bright idea was it to make this visible to the public?
Hym "You know that feeling you get where you feel as though you need immediate medical attention and you continue to feel that way for years, like, literally 2 years straight? Because that is what's happening right now. It's not good. Doesn't feel great. It actually feels the opposite of that. But you know what would make it all better? Do you have a guess? CHILD MURDER!? WHY WOULD SUGGEST SUCH A THING!? I was GOING to suggest 'a dry tugger from Jenna Ortega!' You freak! Child Murder? Really?"
