Aging is horrific actually I'm sorry feminism. The thought of being unable to move properly, muscle tissue wasting away, bones wasting away, losing sight and hearing, taking 500 medications a day, just hanging around like a corpse that hasn't died yet.... I think I'll just kill myself at like 70
Becoming medically fragile with old age is not a given!!! Weight bearing exercise, regular cardio, a healthy diet, and an engaged mind do wonders to keep you healthy well into your 80s and 90s! In my career I have taken care of plenty of old people who passed away peacefully from age after a life well lived. Some parts of aging are inevitable, like increased risk of cancer(due to accumulating cell damage) but many “normal” parts of the aging process are absolutely preventable or at least able to be reduced. Don’t lose hope and take care of yourself!

I’m going to say something that might sound crazy. Suicide and suicide attempts are sort of a societal alarm bell that says “something is very wrong with the environment this individual was in.” A living being choosing to take themselves out of existence is the most extreme act of distress there is. The state stepping in to silence this alarm bell by funneling suicidal people into a state sanctioned euthanasia program, normalizing this act through a socially accepted bureaucratic system, is not a good thing. It goes hand in hand with the state’s interest in maintaining the status quo at the expense of the population and the psychiatric industry’s interest in individualizing societal problems to extract profit and aid the existing system. It’s saying “there are no complaints here, just people with sick brains, carry on.”
it does not sound crazy
Nineteen is so incredibly young.
I suffered from depression and suicidal ideation from the age of eight. The few times I brought myself to ask my parents for help, they deflected, insisting that I was just sensitive, shy, a deep thinker. I did well in school and I obeyed my parents, so they didn't think it was a problem. At my worst points, I couldn't be alone with my thoughts at all. Hundreds of times I day, I thought about how much of a worthless burden I was, that I and everyone in my life would be better off if I was dead and gone.
As an adult, I tried numerous medications and treatment plans, some of which alleviated the depression briefly, but it wasn't until I sought out a psychologist that could do ketamine therapy/electroconvulsive therapy as last resort options, that she recognized/diagnosed me with ADHD. It's commonly overlooked in women and girls and often manifests as long-term, treatment resistant depression. I now take a combination of Vyvanse and Auvelity and my suicidal ideation is almost non-existent. Weeks and even months go by without me thinking about dying/killing myself.
The state of the world, especially for women and girls, is harrowing, but giving up on finding the right medication/treatments for a nineteen year old is unbelievably cruel. If my parents or any of the professionals I'd seen over the years had said, "Yes, you're right. It would be for the best if you were dead, and here's how to do it," I would not be alive now.
I was 26 when I was diagnosed, and I'm turning 32 in a few days.
My story is just like yours, but with supportive parents. From age 13 I was in therapy and from age 14 I was being tried on medications, and nothing worked. Eating disorder, gender dysphoria, seizure disorder, alcohol abuse; things kept getting worse on top of my treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. I spent the night before my 19th birthday on a hellish short-term psych unit because the talk about killing myself was too constant and serious to ignore.
At age 28 I switched psychiatrists, and after another suicidal crisis was put on Adderall. I don't have suicidal thoughts anymore. It took 15 years to get to the root of the problem - I don't regret living any of them, horrible as they could sometimes be, and now I have so many more to look forward to.
Letting the mentally tortured girl I was at 13, or 16, or 19 do what she wanted would have been an awful mistake and thrown away a perfectly livable life.
Possibly my spiciest take is that it's actually good to have people you respect and like that have some dogshit takes.
I think part of what is making young people lonelier, in discussing why they're increasingly isolated, is that they're so afraid of meeting someone who doesn't hold their same beliefs, and instead of being just core beliefs it is kinda ancillary shit.
It's actually okay to disagree even on social topics! Even on some political ones! But I mean, online you can start with "i love this mutual but they have a really bad/uninformed opinion about x media"
I know this is IMMEDIATELY going to be taken in bad faith, and yes babygirl, you are so right, I DO want you to go make best friends with both the KKK grand wizard AND your nearest nazi leader.
But seriously, as someone who has spent two decades doing community organization: finding ways to connect with different people is so so so important. There are people i follow here who ate 80% smart and their brain falls out of their head 20% of the time and that is GOOD FOR MY MENTAL ECOSYSTEM AND GOOD FOR LEARNING HOW TO BE A PERSON
LET'S ALL GO PISS ON THE POOR
not every mutual fits neatly into an archetypal medievalism but there are some mutuals that im like yeah addressing you as “my liege” would come strangely naturally
what mutual is prev
my liege lord
my loyal knight
my wise wizard
my evil advisor
my brother in arms
my lady muse
my wild mermaid friend
my fellow alchemist
my dashing rapscallion
my monstrous foe

Use your PTO
I feel like bigotry is so normalized that people will inadvertently say genuinely strange and awful things, and because these things don't go against the grain and they're phrased "politely" (and are usually -- but not always -- out of white mouths) you'll see..........basically no push back. It's treated as a joke, or something that should be glossed over. But then something is pointed out, and suddenly the pointer outer becomes treated as a sort of complicit aggressor in the situation for speaking out. The fact that you have to be God's most articulate orator who is ever polite and ever patient, the fact that you had to be the one to shoulder the burden of saying something at all instead of it being immediately rectified, the fact that the pattern repeats.....I don't know, it's the kind of shit that genuinely breaks the spirit a little bit. The prioritization of "politeness" but the "politeness" holds no kindness; the "politeness" centers certain people's feelings. The "rudeness" comes from a place of genuine righteousness, but it's treated as if it's more of a problem, because direct phrasing offends sensibilities. The way that you can never lose patience, especially if you are perceived as racialized -- hell, the way that when you are racialized, it is always on you to be the one who speaks up and explains. Why do I have to perform for you while you and your saltine flavored peers slobber at the table, reckless and unthinking, considering yourselves the ultra civilized and beneficent while I stand alone except for my fellow outcasts, forced to perfectly fold the napkins lest I be accused of being lesser, unstable, unkind? You people are throwing mash potatoes. I'm just stuck cleaning up the mess. I'll need to probably write a post that untangles my thoughts and sections them off better, if I feel up to trying to disentangle my feelings better, later. But I think self-examination stays woefully lacking.
A lot of this is the crux of Sara Ahmed's work on how disruption of bigoted norms are treated as more troubling than the norms.
I got to speak to her at a panel she gave in my town and asked her well what can we do? If working within a system doesn't affect change, because an institution will protect itself first and foremost, and disrupting makes them close ranks harder or even actively work against you, is there a balance? Or does it become fruitless? And her answer was to do everything you can to find others that have been silenced. Because official processes that get things done "the right way" be they official complaints, going to HR, or even discord mod tickets, are all there to isolate you against the institution. It's back stage. People can't see it which means they can't stand with you.
So if you ever feel like "why do I have to be the one? Why is it me against the world?" The chances are you aren't the only one, someone else has been "dealt with through the proper channels" and felt silenced. And working together will not only make it easier on you all but make things harder to sweep under the rug
I guess I wish there was wisdom to be dispensed for in-the-moment type situations. (Probably there is; I just haven't googled it yet.) Like, ime, it's not just "I went to [whoever is supposed to be moderating the space] and they were like 'uhhhhh sowwy'" it's also in the moment, there's this shift -- where the person calling out the aggression is suddenly made into the aggressor, because they're the only one who's responded to [insert bigotry, usually racism] with the proper amount of "what the fuck," and then all of a sudden because they broke the 'tone' they are swooped in on, and no one else says anything. I feel like in a group situation, if more people were willing to -- I guess put it bluntly, be race traitors, at least a little bit -- then situations like these wouldn't go the way they do. If you can correct the culture in the moment, if you have enough people go, "yeah, what the fuck actually," you shift the culture of the space. It forces the situation to go differently, it teaches people that this shit won't be tolerated, and it protects the more marginalized people getting shafted. Like...please for the love of God call people out in the moment for being heinous in a liberal racism (and liberal any bigotry way, but in particular racism) way, please don't wait for the people of color in the room to be the ones to say something first (when the people of color have been gaslight all their lives into immense amounts of self doubt), please be direct and forward and stand up. It's not just authority, though that's certainly part of it. It's also all the people who stand there and say nothing, or wait until the Pee Oh Cee coughs first. Which, the Pee Oh Cee has been taught all their life that they must immediately explain their existence in as tolerable way as possible, and that they must accept any treatment, even if it's genuinely dehumanizing, just because the other person is "nice" and not calling them slurs. Like, if someone else could shoulder the burden a little bit, that would be great, thanks. I would like people to please stand up.
New idealogy i call it Alcohol Feminism
had dinner with my parents and cousin the other day and my mom was musing on how she's unintentionally collecting and looking after young women of various ages. the neighbor girls, my cousins, me - my mom is providing all of us good meals and a listening ear and as much advice and as many connections as she can offer on a regular basis. I love her for that. intergenerational female friendship is so powerful if we let it be.
When you get lots of really good books for really cheap in great quality it lowkey feels the most illegal out of the deal based shopping. like how the fuck are they letting me walk out of the store with this without tackling me. these are people's life's work and I got that shit for $3

You can replace [ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY] with [SCROLLING] but watch out. This sucks bad 👍
Some things about this post since getting quite a few notes:
1. If you see this post, highly recommend taking it as an opportunity to set a timer for 15 minutes and switch over to ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY. if after those 15 minutes, you want to go back to scrolling, that's okay!
2. Huge shout out to this popping up in my notifs often, bc I do go back to activity.
3. I think there are times where scrolling is fine. Right now, for example, I'm being connected to a machine for two hours to donate plasma and platelets. Yes this is a brag but it is also a time where scrolling is one of the few things I can do. (Though I will probably also read or watch something on phone lol)
hmmm, this seems to be some kind of curse breaking spell… be free ye reader
have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.
they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.
their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.
longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years
toxic flesh
has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.
lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion
largest genome of any shark
eats everything including moose and polar bears
ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you
this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard
just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !
Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!
Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Ir
I <3 you a normal amount Greenland sharks
something i've noticed that has become really annoying in the past 10 years or so is this fad of what i've been calling, for lack of a better word, "structural whataboutism." it's that thing where, when faced with a concrete, resolvable problem in your community, your answer is to blame it on a vast, unsolvable issue of structural inequality and then throw up your hands. "there's trash all over the ground in this corner of the park" becomes "well, that's where MEN OF COLOR congregate after their 12-HOUR GRAVEYARD SHIFTS and i'm not going to support a CARCERAL SOLUTION to a CAPITALISTIC PROBLEM. WE NEED TO ELIMINATE POVERTY AND THE SUBJUGATION OF THE WORKING CLASS" and it's like okay but sis. someone still has to go pick up the trash. we don't need a carceral solution, we need more trash cans. you're not going to eliminate poverty and the subjugation of the working class and even if ya did, there would still be trash on the ground. how any of this passes for radicalism within their peer groups i simply don't understand. it's radical laziness more than anything else
I was on a canoe trip once with a river biologist who worked for the county. After we found and removed a car tire, she started talking about the annual river cleanup her department organized. From a water quality or ecological standpoint, removing shopping carts, car tires, and other macro trash from the river really wasn't that important, she said. The real threat to the river was industrial and agricultural runoff.
"But!" she said:
People who see a clean, trash-free river are more likely support laws to curb more harmful "systemic" forms of pollution. People who participate in river cleanups take pride in their work--their river!--and become evangelists for protecting it.
Immediate action leads to systemic awareness, which leads to systemic change.
Literally this.
Saying "there's no point in doing something small until the big thing is fixed" is literally just the Glorious Revolution Rapture story all over again, and it's not helpful.

its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"

This Doonesbury abortion cartoon was originally written by Gary Trudeau in 2012, in response to a Texas law requiring women to have an ultrasound before an abortion. It was banned from many major newspapers, and they ran syndicated cartoons in its place.
Now seems like an appropriate time to bring these cartoons back, with the passing of Texas’ new law requiring the burial or cremation of miscarried or aborted fetal remains. I guess we’ll have to wait and see if Trudeau decides to write the sequel.

God. You’ll have to excuse me openly weeping atm. I remember being horrified when that law hit the books here.
I had no idea how much worse it would get in 10 year’s time.
