That many bipolar people control the weather? Oh, nevermind.. mislabeling the weather in a manner that isn't cool for those of us that live with bipolar disorder
I understand where you’re coming from bc I’m also bothered somewhat when people appropriate psychological conditions, but in this case, ‘bipolar’ has a definition completely disparate from the condition. It’s not the same as people saying ‘I’m so OCD’
Semantically correct. In actual language use, incorrect. There's plenty of articles on not using the term for weather. Y'all can double down, but it makes you jerks. Just say erratic, contradictory, unpredictable, not bipolar.
Given bipolar disorder is far more serious than cold weather one day, hot weather the next, or a flip-flopping politician, you can f right off with "but it's a word"
i apologize i didn’t realize it was offensive to use in a context like that, @jeffreysens.bsky.social explained it perfectly yesterday in the thread replies
