    whenever they try to unionize Santa takes them out behind the shed and steals new reindeer from Sami land








  • yes i agree, like whenever a mass shooting happens, they blame mental illness, yet they do nothing to fix or even ameliorate our fucked up mental healthcare system. it serves to stigmatize the mentally ill whilst avoiding setting any blame on far-right extremism.

    and i definitely relate to having issues with having jobs (plus keeping on track of my uni courses)... i am fortunate to be diagnosed and to receive mental healthcare, but i cannot disclose that to my jobs, and i struggle with the idea of disclosing my struggles to my professors. additionally, at my university, they require a letter from a mental health professional for accommodations (and when i asked for accommodations, i only had a GP who could attest to my mental illnesses which affect me as a student, but the disability office told me that that wouldn't be enough).


  • yes, and as you said, it's somehow considered less of a murder because it's "suicide by cop".

    our entire system of dealing with mental health issues is fucking tragic. like if you're hospitalized due to mental health issues, good luck because you'll be stuck with a several-thousand dollar bill (and that's on insurance), i guess you have to hope that you don't feel more suicidal over that debt! like how the fuck are mentally ill people supposed to get help in this fucking country when everyone tells us to go to therapy, but therapy's inaccessible to the populations who most need it due its price, and psychiatry is more inaccessible due to the price of sessions and the price of drugs.

    the united states doesn't care about mentally ill people, but they pretend that they do by choosing to make the national suicide hotline a 3-digit phone number, and libs fucking fall for it.


  • fuck wellness checks. we need wellness checks to be done by trained mental health professionals, not cops. i will never call a wellness check on anybody because of how traumatizing that shit is.

    like i've had wellness checks called on me (due to me being suicidal), and i was able to convince them that i was just "stressed due to classes", but that shit still is terrifying... like wellness checks are honestly a great way to convince someone to not talk to anyone (friends, hotlines, etc.) when they're suicidal, because they just make everything worse.
