My mom got tired of me making fun of her “Live Laugh Love” sign and modified it.

I worry that our collective inability to hold space for grief is a slow hardening for all of us. In my experience the denial of pain is the denial of life and connection to the wide expanse of love, the disconnect makes it much harder to be with those around us from a place of openness. It feels like there is no priority or importance in the west for communal rituals of celebration of life or grieving and it’s only to our detriment. I hope to see and experience the revival of this in my lifetime.

about to go wild on my volunteer/commitment/study schedule but i'm ready . necessary reminders cropping up recently to be discerning even (especially) when attempting to build bridges and necessary outreach. there is a role to play here of strategically bringing in allies and their resources, networks, etc in ways that do not compromise the integrity and vision of the projects at hand. it also requires a good understanding of what the enemy's strategies are and how they're mutating to adapt. you have to deeply question if you're acting in a way that is compatible with their goals & settler-colonial existence in general, because an enormous amount of what passes for so-called activism is exactly that. and the things that will work for the present moment have not yet been tried, never got the chance to happen, or lack mass support.

do you think insight can be gained about an author from the stories they write?

no. authors are like squids and can only be understood through spirited but ultimately futile combat

re: your recent post on treatment resistant ocd, I have a bit of a different perspective I wanted to share.

I think there are experiences that are considered by psychiatry to not be 'true' psychosis and are instead categorised under ocd, but don't necessarily have the same underlying feelings commonly associated with ocd (e.g., responsibility over events one doesn't have control over) and as such does not 'respond to treatment' in ways that are expected.

the more I have been in situations where a belief I had could be true (à la 'exposure'), the more firmly I held the belief. the only thing that has helped is my reality being treated as real to me.

oh 100% - i've spoken to several others quite a bit re: the overlap between ocd and psychosis (that is, the shared experience of dissent from consensus reality that is pathologized in two different ways). i've experienced what i guess could be classified as psychotic symptoms related to ocd since i was young; was formally diagnosed with ocd when i was 7/8 iirc. not just having 'delusions,' as it were, but seeing / hearing / feeling things that weren't there. it's increased with age, though i'm slightly (????) better able to manage my 'ocd symptoms' these days (or perhaps just have more effective workarounds).

i agree with you that there are a number of things shoehorned into ocd - for me and others - that have a substantially higher amount of characteristics in common with psychosis + overall symptoms of, say, schizophrenia, than other things understood as symptomatic of ocd. i guess not everyone experiences them who's diagnosed with ocd, but personally, i've enjoyed availing myself of resources and connections with people who have been dx'd w/ various psychotic disorders as a way to cope with what's going on, with the understanding ofc that the psych industry considers me in many ways to be a lost cause.
