i hate that if you're suicidal you essentially get threatened to keep quiet and pretend you're okay or they'll send you to something that is basically just jail

i can't tell the truth to the people who "want to help me" i went to a psychiatrist recently and i had to answer a bunch of questions. and i lied because i don't want to get hospitalized

"are you experiencing any suicidal thoughts right now?" yes "not really "

"have you ever attempted?" yes "no"

"do you have a plan for how you would do it?" yes "no"

"do you hurt yourself?" yes "no"

this is stupid. the system isn't meant to help people it's meant to make people shut up and kill themselves quietly without causing a fuss and if they won't do that they get locked up.

Having your interests mocked as a kid and general low self esteem will have you insulting the things you like even when they're generally considered very good. Because you like it, and historically when you like something it's stupid and not worth anyone's time. So you will say nonsense like "I recommend this book/game/film, but it's okay if you hate it, it sucks, I really enjoyed it but that's because I'm an idiot" and you are recommending them the Citizen fucking Kane of that particular media type. And importantly: you need to stop doing this it is killing you

Some narratives in international development hold that ending poverty and achieving good lives for all will require every country to reach t

The conclusion, and one of the harder hitting parts of the article. Solving poverty does not require complex solutions and long timeframes.

I'm reminded of that one part in Frederick Douglass's autobiography where he gets to the north for the first time and assumed, since they didn't have slaves, that everyone was about as poor as non-slaveowning white southerners. And they weren't! There were poor people, sure, but there were lots of people living very comfortably or in luxury.

He mentions how angry it made him, that not only were thousands and thousands of people suffering to create luxury for a few, but that slavery wasn't even necessary for wealth to exist. That's really stuck with me.

I've seen this before, but it's been years and it just came across my Twitter in its dying days. The words are from a favorite author of mine, Maggie Stiefvater, and they are the words I most need to hear when it comes to dealing with chronic pain and illness. I didn't need this the first time I saw it, six years ago. I need it now. Maybe you do, too.
