I keep seeing people nervously joking about april to september being nothing more than a black space and as someone who has been studying trauma for as long I have— don’t let it be. go back. look at the pictures you took on your phone, read old journal entries, if you don’t have them, use this last bit of summer to document beautiful moments, moments you were proud of, moments that comforted you, and start to build at least the beginnings of a kindhearted story about how you handled the spring and summer of 2020. that simple framework of a story is the scaffolding you’ll use for your future recovery, it is invaluable. let it be a black space if it wants to but scatter a few campfires in there for your own sake.

This is solid advice - depression makes you view life as an empty expanse and ruins your memory. Give yourself tools to argue with it - make sure you know it's a lie. If you let what the depression says be "true" it will only get its claws in deeper.

conservative politics are built on the idea that people have to ‘earn’ the right not to suffer

[indiecup--fordeactivation-deact]

[science-jumps]

Anybody at all: hey maybe life shouldn’t be built on a presupposition of suffering

Some joyless bastard, inevitably: oh, so you want to leech off society huh?1! Shall I invade your SAFE SPACE you immature sNOWfLaKE? Maybe if you weren’t granted handouts you wouldn’t need pArtiCipAtiON mEdaLs. Life is all about pain and by god I will be its conduit

“Life is about pain and by god I will be its conduit” is a raw ass quote if I saw one

[betterbemeta]

sorry if this makes the post less punchy or whatever but I wanna add that while this is true, conservative politics are also built on the idea that one actually can’t earn the right to not suffer. Conservative politics are deeply hierarchical and against mobility even through hard work. For society to be ‘right’, everyone stays in their preordained place… but there is hope you’re really a lion born among lambs and could one day ‘rise to your true place.’ Which won’t happen but is a needed belief because otherwise the despair that “some people are just born to suffer” will overwhelm society.

like if you go to the history of conservative politics you see monarchism apology and stuff, switching the structure of hierarchies from being ordained by god and king, to being ordained by the market and economics. So when conservatives say “you better work for your keep” what they really mean is like, they have already decided what your keep will be.

So when you say “life is all about pain and by god I will be its conduit” you’re right. Prescribing the ‘right’ amount of pain for different people to keep them in their place is what it’s all about. You can ‘earn’ the reward for staying in your place, but that reward is only the “right not to suffer”– where you are on the hierarchy will still determine if that right is violated.

“less punchy” no reading this made me experience raw and utter terror actually

Being alone is just like: *makes a weird noise* *talks to myself* *makes a weird noise* *makes a weird noise* *talks to myself* *doesn’t talk to myself but does the hand gestures to what I’m saying in my head* *makes a weird noise* *makes a weir
