We’ve collected nine books of various genres — both fiction and nonfiction — that depict the complexity of depression in their pages. Not all are wholly positive, but they get at the core of what it means to live with depression.

Mid-week conclusions for the disillusioned:
- Eating ‘clean’ is a privilege.
- It’s scary to experience women and children being punching bags for patriarchy, figuratively and physically.
- It’s not even the disappointment of wasting time, it’s the disappointment in myself for glorifying settling and compromising.
- People fetishize words like ‘thug’ that are systematically used to criminalize people of color, yet remain silent when protestors get called the same.
- Ways in which we show affection, or lack of, is a learned trait.
- Quit demanding your partners to display western forms of intimacy.
- The irony of saying “we are all one race,” AFTER creating the concept of race, then proceeding to build a global social, economic, and political system of white supremacy.
- Mocking accents is normalized racist behavior.

Balizko errotak, irinik ez.
Basque proverb.
Literally: “hypothetical mills (have) no flour”, meaning that you can’t plan your life based on “ifs” or thinking that everything will always turn out the way you want.

“Once capital becomes an idol and guides people’s decisions, once greed for money presides over the entire socioeconomic system, it ruins society, it condemns and enslaves men and women, it destroys human fraternity, it sets people against one another and, as we clearly see, it even puts at risk our common home.” .. (Pope Francis)

Do better, tech people.
I witnessed this first-hand at the Dane County Regional Airport (Madison, WI) earlier this year. Those soap dispensers flat out ignored the Black woman who was in there at the same time.
Yeah, I had to show the lighter underside of my hands in order to get a couple of sinks to work.
This is real, people.

Never forget that over 2 million people were murdered through the U.S.-led ‘War on Terror.’
(In case you were out here switching up the narrative by defending U.S. imperialism and its constant perpetuation of Islamophobia.)
