Let’s say for argument’s sake it WAS worth letting go of your own flaws and genuinely contributing positively instead of just pretending, let’s say you could set an example, even without a body, would you try to? Or keep being resentful?
Let’s say, for argument’s sake you could not tell the difference between support and exploitation of women because you were deeply inculcated into patriarchy from birth plus had residual anger against all women because of a demanding mother. How would you cure your own spirit?
Let’s say, for argument’s sake, you had a problem with deep seated misogyny, that was preventing you from reaching your full potential as a being - what would you do to address that- if it were compulsive and life-long but not something you had yet made egos-dystonic?
Let’s say for argument’s sake you achieved a state of being that allowed you, to occupy space on a molecular level, capable of curing all diseases, but instead chose to be petty and violent? What would convince you to use your situation for good instead of evil?

If somebody tells you they’re suicidal, don’t immediately make their pain about everyone else. For once, make it about THEM.
Ask what hurts.
Ask what they need.
Ask how you can help them stay safe.

People imagine being suicidal as crying on the bathroom floor.
But Sometimes it’s getting dressed, doing what needs doing and quietly wondering how much longer you can fucking do this.
Payments for disease does not prevent diseases- has nobody ever considered that disease is caused by social problems? In traditional societies across the globe this was once understood. Money doesn’t prevent disease.

Pauline Hanson supporters true to form, engaging in the same “monocultural means including everyone” now doing the same word gymnastics trying to convince us that "primitive" is a compliment.
Good lord.
So; for the absence of ALL doubt.
It isn't. "Primitive" isn't a neutral label, it's a value judgment. It means less than.
Aboriginal Australians engineered aquaculture systems (Budj Bim) older than the pyramids, developed complex astronomy, and managed this continent's ecology for 65,000+ years — using knowledge systems suited to this land, not a lesser versions of someone else's.
I used to think it was fun to express my sexuality when I was younger- then some patriarchal revival happened and suddenly my sexuality was no longer mine, not my power, not my strength, but theirs - something for them to control , I say no to that. I don’t need it. Never did.
Pretty sure there’s no politics left that isn’t hypocritical and ridiculous-there are no “sides” - it is all nonsense
There is good behaviour & there is bad behaviour 😔
It’s not rocket science to tell the difference. Stop picking “sides” start being a decent human being.

You can just be.
Be a safe space, provide security & connection. Those are valuable.
Does anyone know of a deprescribing psychiatrist who does Telehealth in Australia?
