We at Intuitive Public Media have created an online #SuicidePrevention network that provides support to survivors of severe illness, poverty, and hardship.

Our efforts prevent suicide by connecting individuals in increasingly resilient, sustainable, and collaborative communities.

Because of severe neurological disabilities, we do most of our work and communications through an online app called Telegram, where we have the support of our network disability aid infrastructure.

Please consider visiting us here: t.me/PreventSuicide

You who feel moved to action by opportunities to decrease suffering, isolation, exploitation, and violence in our communities and around the world – we need you.

To contact me and our team directly: t.me/IntuitiveInvisibles + t.me/MegMorris (Max)

.

The Intuitive network we are using now is based on @Telegram Messenger, Telegram Web, & Telegram Desktop applications and is increasingly connected to many other platforms.

Our network is a disability aid for those in extreme situations.

Our community efforts center healing creativity, supporting collaboration, and building individual income streams.

We fund the creation of these income streams (on an emergency basis, currently) for active and community supportive members of our network who are developing helping professions and shared resources.

.

Here are examples of what we are accomplishing every day by raising volunteer awareness and funds:

* * * Sustainable, survivor-controlled income streams that meet more needs ongoing, decrease likelihood of emergencies, and can grow over time as a part of efforts in the community

* * * Repairs to broken phones, computers, and other devices to enable them to stay connected to the network as IPR volunteer transmitters

* * * Emergency eviction assistance where a severely disabled family would otherwise lose their home

* * * Emergency communications assistance, especially in cases of severe neurological injury and with those who are multiply marginalized

* * * Emergency supplies that save individual lives and keep our network running, including food, equipment, and warmth in the winter

.

The members of our network, originally terminally isolated, are now able to go to work together every day by using @Telegram Messenger and other platforms we have connected.

Access to engagement in meaningful work with others is a powerful means to prevent suicide. We experience the effectiveness of this every day.

There are new and powerful ways for trauma survivors to heal and build together in this environment.

We are using technology that is widely available and commonly in use – now put to the purpose of aiding those in severe disability situations.

.

#WhyIDidntReport: I was in need of this network, but it did not exist yet.

#BelieveSurvivors: Now it does. As a result, we are all much safer.

Are you one of our allies?

.

If you are, please reach out to us or to me directly.

Thank you for your courage, and thank you for your time.

Nietzsche believed that you’ve gotta be able to think about suicide before you can move beyond wanting to kill yourself because only once you’ve accepted it as an option can you make the choice not to do it, and the alternative, to deny the urge and ignore it, would inevitably cause you to cave to the unaddressed desire you have for it.

And the dude was right. 

The rogue’s gallery of psych students and junior practitioners on this hellsite have hijacked my post about not being mean to yourself to explain to people how actually what I’m talking about is cognitive-behavioral therapy, and how it involves disciplining yourself to never talk negatively about yourself and how it’s important to check with a therapist that you’re doing it correctly, and like, this is why I don’t trust and can’t stand these people.

Being your own friend is a holistic process, there aren’t exercises you can do or therapy methods you can apply, which is why most people relapse almost immediately after stopping CBT or DBT, because they haven’t actually made any progress in how they look out for themselves, they were merely thrust into a disciplinary regimen where they are taught to engage in habits which their therapist then holds them accountable to, and so, without that therapist, they fall apart again.

Not being mean to yourself doesn’t mean censoring self-deprecating humor, it doesn’t mean snapping a rubber band on your wrist when you have a negative thought, it means taking time to sit down and think about yourself as if you were another person, to really take stock of who you are from as objective a perspective as you can muster, and if you really want to grow, realizing that this person you see can’t grow if the person closest to them, which is you, spends all their time berating them and making them feel like shit.

Being friends with yourself is not a series of therapeutic exercises, it’s challenging yourself to evaluate why you’re a dick to yourself in a way you aren’t to other people, or maybe you are a dick to other people, and maybe you want to be a dick to yourself, which is goofy as fuck, but if you’re still suffering, maybe ask yourself why the fuck you want to be such a dick, the answers may surprise you.

[audacityinblack]

That thing of “always avoid negative thoughts” actually does more harm than good, in a lot of cases. It can actually lead to a system where you pretty much scold and punish yourself for not thinking “right.”

[queeranarchism]

“Control the uncontrollable and scary (like suicidal thoughts) by purging all impure thoughts and punishing yourself if you fail” is… never gonna work.

And to be honest I don’t think the people that advocate it are all that interested in making you feel better, even if they think they are. I think it’s more about a way to control all the scary brains out there to make their own lives safer.  

Such a desire to banish all negativity is more about creating a stable, controllable society where the depressed and the angry don’t go around sharing their sadness and anger and rage with the world, or god forbid, lash out at the things that are hurting them.

[mofromthegut]

Max (Meg Morris):

I’m sorry to say things are pretty bad here. I wonder if you received the emails I forwarded to you?

a lot of people I am talking to do not realize that we are in immediate danger of them not hearing from me again, and I am trying to signal to people that I need help, but it is not working.

I will definitely die if I do not get an income stream sorted out for emergency survival needs. People are not responding and I think I’m going to die.

I have been saying this too many people but it seems to have desensitized them and I am not able to get needs met that are likely to kill the body imminently.

if I lose my ability to communicate from the physical damage, I will be tortured to death with no ability to affect how people care for me, which is the most terrible of death sentences for someone in my position.

Please respond.

We are *paying* survivors of severe trauma and hardship to build most urgently needed community frameworks by doing work that is creatively self-healing for their present health and conditions.

This, we feel, is the most effective investment of currency: NOT to try to force someone to do work they say they cannot do…

…but to invest in paying them to do the very most effective work that emerges from them as a *natural byproduct* of their *innate healing process.*

All these efforts are produced by survivors of severe environmental illness and injury, amidst great personal danger and adversity.

Your kind words, your care for our lives, and supportive shares with your networks are deeply appreciated.

When bad things happen to bad people, a thing on punishment

Parts of my ‘finding people who don’t just have good politics but are also actually good people’ strategies are obvious,

Things like ‘do they actually help a comrade in need regardless of whether anyone considers that help activism?’ and ‘do they treat activists that make a mistake as disposable?’ etc.

But also a part of it is looking at how people react when bad things happen to bad people.

Do they get joy and inspiration from a nazi getting punched because that is an effect action successfully done? Good. Do they get joy from a local nazi getting hit by a car because that means less work for the antifascists? fine. But do they find a lot of joy simply in knowing that a bad person is suffering, regardless of how that suffering impacts the world? That sets off my alarm bells.

I mean, we all occasionally experience this, but it’s a nasty side, which has been nurtured by a society invested in punishment-as-justice for profit and control, this nasty side should become less when we learn that punishment isn’t justice and the universe doesn’t become any better when the people who have harmed us suffer.

People that claim to reject a punishment-based justice system but that themselves find a lot of joy in punishment for the sake of punishment and revenge for the sake of revenge have a nasty side that they haven’t worked through and I don’t trust them. I think they’re capable of growth but I don’t want them too close to me.

So proud of my mother for doing her own research after I sent her that meme. A sign she hung in her car window.

[jettestblack-deactivated2017080]

Stay woke

[pual1010-deactivated20150723]

Is this true?

[mallninjacode-deactivated201812]

Not only is it true, it gets worse. The Susan G Komen For The Cure Foundation has actually successfully sued “competing” charities, because (paraphrasing) their “message or branding was infringing.”

You read that correctly: they took money that people had donated to cure cancer, and hired attorneys with it, to sue ANOTHER group of people trying to find a cure for cancer, who, in turn, had to us their donated money to hire their own legal counsel to defend themselves.

[redbloodedamerica]

Yeah signal boost because not enough people know about this and seriously FUCK SUSAN G. KOMEN THEY ARE THE ACTUAL WORST

Komen For The Cure is pretty much awful.

My mother died in 1996 from breast cancer. Most cancer charities are scams, in that people throw fancy parties and get rich off them and very little money goes into research or support for patients. Here are some vetted cancer charities that get good scores on Charity Navigator and pay medical expenses or fund research:

Breast Cancer Research Foundation

Cancer Research Institute

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

63 four star rated cancer charities on charity navigator

Reblogging from myself because it’s October now

[kriscynical]

My middle sister Angeline died in 2010 from one of the more rare, highly aggressive forms of breast cancer that none of those bullshit “foundations” do any research on. She never got a single ounce of help from any of those “foundations” that are supposed to help patients who are financially in need, either. 

I cannot stand Susan G. Komen and refuse to donate when grocery stores do donation drives at the check out stands every year. If the cashier gives me a surprised look for being so adamant in saying “no”, I tell them exactly why I said it with such conviction… and 9 times out of 10 they have no idea that Komen does what it does and they look shocked because of it, as though they’ve been betrayed somehow by the bullshit Komen image they’ve been spoon fed for most of their lives. The grocery store I usually go to switched over to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation for their October charity drive a few years ago and I was so happy when they did. I donate every time since that switch over happened.

And ugh, October… I absolutely abhor the month of October because of all of the pink shit EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK. The night before Angeline’s funeral I couldn’t sleep, so at 4am I made a self portrait of how I was feeling, and it was titled “Why I Hate Pink”. Because I do. All of that pink shit does nothing but remind me of what I’ve lost and make me bitter all over again at what a scam 99% of it is, and how so many people buy into it hook, line, and sinker because they truly believe they’re doing something good.

Please PLEASE be mindful of who you donate to.

As a step toward honoring the truth and achieving healing and reconciliation, our organization commits to open all public events and gatherings with a statement acknowledging the traditional Native lands on which we stand.

Such statements become truly meaningful when coupled with authentic relationships and sustained commitment.

We therefore commit to move beyond words into programs and actions that fully embody a commitment to Indigenous rights and cultural equity.
