Honestly, in my work as a therapist, I’m seeing this A Lot, and tbh I still don’t have a satisfactory approach to it. A heavy dose of Existentialist “create your own Purpose” tempered with “when the plane’s going down, put your own oxygen mask on first”, but… yeah, there is no ethical way to work on individual emotional distress without acknowledging the systemic socioeconomic, geopolitical fuckery going on at the moment, and the sheer grief that comes with it.
I’m a guidance counselor/psychologist for teenagers and it’s getting really hard to motivate young people to work for a future they don’t believe in.
They look at ther future and see global warming, wwIII, unemployement, political unstability, poison in everything they eat, the earth and animals dying all around them.
I saw this video where someone was asking french teens in the 50s how they imagine the future would be. The war hadn’t been over for long and yet it was all positive with like peace and flying cars and such. Then they went and ask the same questions to nowadays teens and hell that was depressing. Some still had hope, but it was just that “well I hope I’ll have a nice house and maybe some kid” but there was such a hesitancy to it, like they didn’t dare to hope too much.
People mock Greta Thunberg but what they don’t get is that when she said “you stole my dreams”, it was the truth.
Young people don’t get to dream like they used to. They don’t dream anymore, they grief all that won’t be anymore and that’s just so fucking sad.
The fact that both the tweet and these reblogs are pre-pandemic makes this post even worse
evangelical preacher showed up on campus so I took a photo and made him into a wojak and printed out on a protest sign and took it back to the protest within the same hour
- They didn't want to sit through demeaning and bigoted religious services just for a place to sleep. (Church run food banks do this a lot too btw).
- They were late and the shelter wouldn't let them in and voided the rest of their allowed stay bc they didn't call and tell the shelter they couldn't make it in before closing.
- One of the other people at the shelter got violent/threatened violence and the shelter refused to do anything about it.
- One of the SHELTER EMPLOYEES/VOLUNTEERS got violent/threatened violence and the shelter refused to do anything about it.
- The shelter refuses to disclose if allergens are in the food they're providing saying, "This is all you're getting, be glad for this much and thank god!"
- Shelter refused to believe person is homeless saying, "You are FAR too clean and nicely dressed!"
Something I randomly think about a lot is how when very old castles, manors, and large country estates were built, they were built with the expectation of guests. In eras when you rarely travelled over a hundred miles from home, when one did travel guests stayed for long periods of time with friends and relatives. Wealthy people would have guests in their home frequently (virtually all the time, if you were royalty), so huge houses (and staffs) accommodated for multiple guests on long stays. More homes were multi-generational, too.
And now when people live in big houses it’s usually just themselves. Maybe 4-6 in a family, and when the kids get married and move away? Maybe only 1 or two. Guests rarely “sleep over,” and almost never longer than a weekend. I don’t know exactly what caused the cultural shift, but it fascinates me.
Every time I read an old book and some young person “visits a friend in the countryside” for weeks or months I get emotional. Imagine if your friends had the resources to host you at their house for that long. And you would live there very like if it was your own home. Nowadays even if you do stay with friends or family, there’s usually events or activities intended to fill the time. Suppose if you just went to visit your friend for a month, and the two of you just read books or took walks together.

okay so decided to reverse image search and it's apparently a memorial to unborn babies lost during or immediately after pregnancy due to genetic defects (website says trisomy 18 specifically)
so as much as I love to make a joke on here, I'm going to retract my last comment and replace it with:
fuck you, that's absolutely ghoulish behavior to co-opt someone else's grief, strip it of context, and warp it's meaning to fit your personal beliefs i hope you die in a car fire
🏳️⚧️ What happens if your state won't allow you to access gender-affirming care, like HRT?
Some states are stepping up where others are stepping back. Connecticut is the first state to pass a "safe state" law that will protect people who are seeking gender-affirming care or abortion care if it becomes illegal in their home state. Connecticut's law also means criminalizing states can't use out-of-state warrants to arrest parents or guardians for helping their child get care there, and would restrict other states from subpoenaing the medical records of families who sought gender-affirming care outside of their home states.
Some other states are on track to pass laws like this, too. While not everyone has the resources to be able to pack up and move, states passing "sanctuary" laws like this want to make it clear that we are welcome. 🏳️⚧️

If you want to know just how crazy fucked up Evangelical/Fundamentalist Christian views of the apocalypse are, and how that affects US politics, I recommend The Rapture Exposed by Barbara Rossing. She’s a (mainline) Christian theologian, so a lot of the book is about the theological and Biblical reasons why the Rapture is a horrible twisting of Christian beliefs. But she also spends a lot of time talking about just how fucked up the belief in the Rapture is, and the terrifying political and social consequences that set of beliefs has had for America.
GWB got very religious around the time he gave up drinking. For some people that means not just walking the straight and narrow but going full megachurch, praise hands, prayer circles at the airport gate, Jesus would carry an AR-15, super Christian.
It’s like it’s apocalyptic end times theology on one end and full on atheism on the other. Nobody in that country just goes to church for an hour weekly and then gets on with their lives.
And of course they all want to get into politics.
The perfect glimpse into the American evangelical worldview is Chick tracts, which believe that a large number of people in the United States have never even heard of Jesus, but nonetheless once told their dead friend went to Hell for listening to rock music or not going to Sunday school enough or whatever they'll believe it wholeheartedly and convert on the spot
(the people who have heard of Jesus in Chick tracts who aren't Christian hate him, bc of the weird assumption that atheists are people who believe in God but hate him)
The other wild part is remembering that their apocalyptic framework for the rapture isn't some ancient prophecy. The idea of the rapture was invented in the 1800s, and its modern prominence comes from a book published in 1970 that said the rapture would happen by 1988. Their entire end times worldview dates to the same year as The Aristocats
This is also the reason the right is so favorable towards Israel. They want the Jews to die there because it's one of their effed up apocalypse signs
