Summer so far: comps reading, ballet, and long hours in local coffee shops. As much work as it is, I am greatly appreciating the flexibility and individual pace of exam prep. Especially when the view beyond the window is bursting with lush, vibrant summer leaves.

何も vs. 何でも
The way I remember this (probably only works for me), was when I was watching Chobits, there was a book in the anime called 誰もいない町.
So drawing from that context:
何(なに)も + negative
何(なん)でも + positive
For example:
何も食べません。 I'm not eating anything.
何でも食べます。 I'll eat anything.
Other examples:
どれも選びません。 Not choosing anything.
どこも行きません。 Not going anywhere.
誰でも参加できます。 Anyone can join.
どれでも選べます。 Can choose anything.
どこでも行けます。 Can go anywhere.
Exception: どこも
When describing a state, どこも + positive is used.
どこも混んでいます。 It's crowded everywhere.
Reference
Reading this reference helps me make sense of the exception too. The grouping is like Everywhere—this place, that place, and that place—is crowded.
In one of the Japanese classes I attended, I've been taught that while we use 「何も出来ない」to say "He cannot do anything", to say "He can do anyt

the speed with which the victims of state violence are labeled "unstable" by the state should make absolutely clear the necessary connection between police/prison abolition and mad rights/antipsychiatry.
there has never been a time in the history of psychiatry where "strenuously objecting to one's own mistreatment at the hands of authority figures" was not a diagnostic criteria for at least one disorder. read that again.
in a system where the "mental healthcare" frameworks are built on a preservation of the cultural status quo, advocating for oneself in the face of mistreatment becomes a symptom of illness.
If anyone is looking for more exploration of this idea, there’s a very good and approachable book on how it affects Black Americans, “Madness: Race and Insanity in a Jim Crow Asylum” by Antonia Hylton, which is partly a history of Crownsville State Hospital in Maryland and the people who were incarcerated there, partly a memoir of mental illness and radicalism in her own family and how Black radicalism and being conscious of the realities of racism become pathologized
