What are you reading rn, why are you reading it, and what format are you reading it in (physical book, ereader, on your phone etc)

Never a better time for the Streisand Effect than when it's a government covering up acts of brutality and evil.

if you complain about the Chinese government covering up Tianamen Square, then complain about this, too.

audiences have no idea how to be uncomfortable anymore

watch movies that make you uncomfortable read books that make you uncomfortable go to plays that make you uncomfortable watch tv that makes you uncomfortable look at paintings and sculpture and artwork that makes you uncomfortable. it is spiritually and morally and ethically and artistically really really good for you. think about why you are uncomfortable. what biases do you bring to art? what biases does the art bring to you? how do you reconcile this? how does your worldview grow and expand and change? all this and more will be answered and available to you if you just engage with art that does not coddle you and treats you like an intelligent human being that can sit through discomfort

the thing is depression was never destigmatized the narrative just switched from “no one has depression you’re just using it as an excuse” to “everyone has depression you’re just using it as an excuse”

This is true for many things!! ADHD, Autism, OCD. It used to be “that’s not a real thing” and now it’s “we’re all a little [insert thing here]”
