優しい人にしか、優しさは見抜けない。
賢い人にしか、賢さは見抜けない。 人は、自分の中にあるものや、自分が理解できる解像度でしか、相手を理解できない。 だから結局、ある程度同じレベル同士じゃないと、本当の価値って伝わらない。

High intelligence is a strange gift. You see the ending early and still have to sit through the movie.

The wildest part about poverty is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.

If they need to bully, threaten, or intimidate you, you probably have more power than they want you to see. People don’t try to shrink what they aren’t afraid of.

I who have seen you amid the primal things Was angry when they spoke your name In ordinary places. I would that the cool waves might flow over my mind, And that the world should dry as a dead leaf, Or as a dandelion seed-pod & be swept away, So that I might find you again, Alone.

Neoliberal healthcare, instead of addressing the harmful conditions that make people depressed, uses antidepressants to modify individuals' internal states, enabling them to (wrongly) tolerate circumstances they might otherwise (rightly) resist.

Let's not call for more resilience, diagnoses, drugs, medicalisation & neurofication to address escalating rates of poor mental health, let's call for new social policy to tackle its social determinants & properly fund demedicalised psycho-social support. That's it in a nutshell.

Capitalism has trained us to think that the only real work is what is done in official employment where you make profit for a company. It ignores so much outside unpaid labor that is socially beneficial
