Hello, World!
Blog for documenting and discussing people's experiences with suicidism and related oppression.
essay || book || plain-language article || non-carceral crisis resources
also working on our own non-carceral suicide resources masterpost with other stuff in it.
inspired by: @this-is-alterhumisia @this-is-pluralphobia @this-is-transandrophobia @thisis-aphobia (tell me if you don't want to be on this post)
Suicidism is the form of systemic oppression faced by suicidal people. in includes suicidal people being barred from certain jobs and being seen as inherently untrustworthy due to being suicidal, traumatic psychiatric incarceration and abuse where any amount of harm is ok if it is seen as preserving someone's life, suicidal people not being given the chance to share our own stories honestly or participate in conversations about us, and much more.

rules:
no bigotry of any kind will be tolerated. feel free to talk about experiences with other forms of bigotry if they intersect with your experiences of suicidism, but displaying that bigotry yourself on this blog will get you blocked.
We have no dni and anyone is allowed to speak here, but keep in mind this blog is run by a spiritual system and is explicitly accepting of all forms of plurality. if you disagree you may interact, but leave your syscourse at the door when you enter.
please don't describe specific plans or methods of suicide that you have. do not encourage other people here to kill themselves.
people who are not currently suicidal are allowed to send asks/speak here, but we ask you to remember your relation to the subject. someone else's suicidality is about them and not you, and this is not a confessional for everything you have done wrong. we welcome you to talk about this with us, but this space exists to centre people who are (or were) suicidal.
do not censor yourself. say the words. terms like "unalive" "sewerslide" etc are banned unless you are discussing the ways people use these terms rather than using them yourself. trigger warnings will be tagged as needed by yours truly. and of course feel free to block us if the topic of suicide is too triggering for you.
we value accessibility highly so feel free to tell of if there's some way we could improve in that regard! you may also feel free to correct our spelling.
#this is suicidism is for discussion of suicidism. and #not suicidism for off-topic posts.
