the philosophy that your body is something separate from your mind and soul, a disobedient machine in need of governing, rather than one and the same entity as you are, is a philosophy designed in the 16th century to serve capitalist interests! release it and accept that your consciousness is also in your fingers and your tummy 

[boethiah]

we need to say things like “listen to your body” “get in tune with your body” because western society is deeply invested in separating the mind from the body in order to force us to work past our natural limits. christianity contrived the lie that “we” as humans are some true self at dwells reluctantly within yet at odds with our bodies, in order to force us to work beyond our bodies’ natural limits and to disregard our feelings of hunger and exhaustion. we’re only starting to realize how unnatural and harmful this is and yet we’re afraid to accept the natural truth that our bodies and minds are one and the same entity.

the fact that community colleges are seen as less valid and for “stupid” people is a result of classism and in this essay I will-

[kadywicker]

ppl in the tags saying that it’s “genuinely a lesser tier of education because people go there for trades and nursing and thats about it” are just proving that its classism. bc a) no thats absolutely not correct. a good chunk of people that go to community colleges do so to knock out their gen eds at a lower price than they’d be if they went to a four year, then transfer to a four year. and more importantly b) trade professions are not lesser than other professions that take higher degrees. people who go into things that take associates degrees are not “stupid”.

if you think ppl who are too poor to attend a four year university for all four years, or that ppl who are too poor to/don’t want to get their bachelor’s/master’s/doctorate are “stupid” then i have news for you:

thats classism, babe

Why Basic Income Is a Mental Health Issue

Canadian researcher Dr. Evelyn Forget says guaranteed income “works as an antidepressant.”

Why? If depression is primarily—as we have been led to believe by pharmaceutical company marketing campaigns—a problem with our brain chemistry, this makes no sense. The brains of the people of Dauphin did not suddenly evolve in those three years. But the World Health Organization, the leading medical body in the world, has explained: “Mental health is produced socially. The presence or absence of mental health is above all a social indicator and requires social as well as individual solutions.” In reality, depression and anxiety are produced by a broad range of factors. Some are biological—but many are social and psychological.

This requires us to think differently about how we respond to depression and anxiety. Dr Forget told me, after she interviewed many of the people who had been on the guaranteed income program, that it “works as an antidepressant.” Severe financial anxiety is one of several factors which has been proven to cause depression. Reducing that cause reduces the amount of depression. All over the world, I hunted for alternative antidepressants that should be offered alongside chemical antidepressants—and I kept seeing this key insight that had been discovered in Canada in the 1970s: the most effective strategies for dealing with depression are the ones that deal with the reasons why we are in such pain in the first place. This is why there is such excitement across the world that Ontario has now embarked on a new experiment in giving a guaranteed income to 4,000 people, to see the results.

one of the biggest and most devious tools being used against voters now is that voting locations for lower income neighborhoods and neighborhoods that are primarily black or hispanic are suddenly closed down, in the middle of nowhere, or only open for 4 hours a day do whatever you can to help negate that being a barrier
