This I also believe.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if the phrase "self care" doesn't resonate with you, try calling it "system maintenance" and see if that clicks.

#this both makes things more fun and also is a really good analogy#because there are four types of system maintenance and that makes the term much more exact than the nebulous ''self-care''#and therefore much more helpful to those of us who uhhh struggle with nebulosity#for anyone curious the four types are:#1. corrective (to fix current problems)#2. preventative (to avoid future problems)#3. adaptative (to re-adjust to any changes)#4. perfective (to work towards a better system)#I really like this idea I'm gonna make a checklist

so many of the "i only use chat gpt for ___" excuses are concerning because people use it in place of learning basic, valuable skills.

you don't need chat gpt to write professional sounding emails for you, there are many many guides on the internet and with a bit of practise you can learn to write them yourself. a very important skill for a professional to have, and some of the basic rules will carry over into irl conversations!

you don't need chat gpt to be a "more detailed search engine", because you're robbing yourself of the chance to learn how to find and filter information on the internet and evaluate the credibility of sources. which is a VITAL skill. plus, chat gpt is notorious for being wrong?

if you use it to write essays, you're taking away your ability to hone your research skills, your writing skills, your critical thinking skills. your ability to create persuasive arguments!

and for most of the other reasons people use chat gpt, there are non-ai websites for that! for maths, wolfram alpha. for figuring out what you can cook with the ingredients you have there's supercook and the like. for creating routines, there's about a million apps!

whatever you "only" use chatgpt for i promise there are better websites out there that you don't have to worry will produce complete bullshit???? and destroy the environment???

I feel like public libraries don’t get enough hype. Like, you’re telling me all I have to do is give you my name and address and promise to bring the books back and I’m allowed to take as many as i want??? And I can check them out over and over again if I need to??? And I only pay if I damage or lose the book???? If this is where my tax money is going then please keep on taxing.

Because yet another YouTube channel I love is getting screwed over by YouTube’s total disinterest in human moderation and frankly disgusting lack of consideration for all but the biggest and clickbatiest of channels, here is my plea and my pitch for you to check out this now-shadowbanned video in specific and the Ask a Mortician channel in general.

If you like history and are at all interested in learning more about death—as process, as culture, as a societal force—I really cannot recommend this channel enough. Caitlin’s videos are thoroughly, painstakingly researched, and presented with the utmost care and compassion for their subjects both living and dead. She does important advocacy and educational work around people’s rights and options regarding their bodies after death (my queer siblings, if you don’t have a death plan, please check out her “Protecting Trans Bodies in Death” video; similarly, if you are fat, she has a video about your funeral options to be sure you are treated with dignity). She works to break down the stigma of discussing death and dead bodies, to bring attention to the lack of diversity in funeral homes and death care, and wants people to know they and their loved ones deserve to be treated well after death. NONE of it is done with the intent to shock or get cheap clickbait; all of it is presented with the goal of making people more comfortable with death and corpses, with thinking about and discussing them and confronting them.

As with the video above, she frequently does videos on much lesser known historical events and places and brings light to history that risks being forgotten. Some of it is tragedy, as with the Eastland disaster, but some of it is also just fun, like her video on spirit photography.

Tl;dr this channel is wonderful, educational, compassionate, and deserves support and so much better than the bs it’s catching from YouTube right now. Please consider watching any of the videos linked above, and throw this post a reblog to help spread the word if you can.

Just adding that there was a lot of anti-police sentiment in the comment section and I don't think it's a coincidence that it got flagged for "violating community standards" citing "graphic police violence" as the reason. People can't even have an honest discussion about the role of police in society without it drawing corporate censorship...Ironically the whole video was about corporations not taking responsibility when a bunch of people die because of their greed.
