#clonesanity

I just re-read to remember why I used that tag when I queued it, and honestly it was just casual use of the words insane and crazy. 

I'm definitely no expert, so I'm gonna go ahead and include some links that have informed my understanding. (There are plenty of other explanations, these are just off the top of my head, easy for me to find again.)

Even when those words are used in a positive context, they can alienate people since they're often used to marginalize, dismiss, and discredit mentally ill people. I typically use that tag yes, for some people's sensibilities, so they can avoid that if it bothers them, but also (often) just as a reminder to myself to be aware of what kind of language I encounter and use. It's just a matter of adjusting one's speech to avoid hurting anyone or perpetuating ableist ideas. In my experience that can be really hard and some of it is kind of sneaky since it's so common, which is why I try to be aware of it.  

I feel kind of bad that you're worrying - your post is so so important and I want to thank you for it - and part of me wants to say that it's not a big deal, especially because your post is talking about suicide and mental health and it is definitely not ableist, just some of the language, just two words (which is why I tagged it ableist language and not ableism). But to some people it can be a really big deal, so.. I don't actually want to say that, you know?
