having like two (or three) separate fictives (one technically being a fictkin) is hilarious especially in situations where this shit happens, like we have blake and hoarfrost(basically frost red) but we also have guardian (white tubby) and we went like "GUYS GUARDIAN BECOMES BLAKE!???? REAL!???", which is funnier because after we took this screenshot, he said "it's so cold" in the game

Twitter are being banned from brazil, what a good day to be alive and see how unlucky we are.

THE THING IS....

That guy, y'all know who, had his chance to change idea to follow the brazilians guidelines in relation to matters of extreme importance. Our law does not concern anyone, freedom of expression is a right, but not when it causes pain, triggers or threats. And that’s what we want to prevent it from happening, he thinks being a billionaire is in the right way to cause suffering and violence? That this means freedom of expression? No, this is not freedom it’s tyranny. Thank you all for reading

another elected official punished in the US

The article from Daily Montanan, 26 April 2023 shares that the Montana GOP's undemocratic decision to ban her from participating in debate on the House floor was 68-32 along party lines.

It's cold comfort that Rep Zephyr will be able to vote remotely.

honestly wild to me that op keeps putting israel (a word that is over 2,000 years old) and israeli in quotation marks, especially considering the byzantine empire under nebuchadnetzar ii very famously invaded the judeans in 586 BCE and killed tens of thousands and took almost all the rest as slaves to the babylonian empire

especially when you factor in how op doesn't enclose the united states in quotes

why is israel different? (not a real question, given the literal actual hamas stanning on display here in the display name. am i supposed to be surprised?) also shoutout to the "zionist entity" why does that phrase sound so familiar

"Did you give my daughter Mountain dew again?" - a lil modern aemond for Rhaenys

"If by Mountain Dew you mean the only thing your daughter will take willingly by mouth aside from the accursed prepackaged puree pouches," Rhaenys smirked behind her tumbler, "then yes. Yes I did." Somehow she'd ended up acting the grandmother to Viserys' children despite the fact she'd carried on with him- and Aemma, and her own husband- for longer than any of the kids in the family had existed. Aemond insisted she was "Aunt Rhaenys" which while closer to the truth than "Grandmother" she didn't truly mind either of the titles.

After a foray into getting the chef to make the sacred puree pouches- with the beloved princesses on them no less!- had failed miserably she'd given up on anything the little girl didn't ask for. The caffeine and sugar might not have been the best thing for Jaehaera but she got her nutrition from her formula. . . who was her grandmother to say no to her for a treat?

It meant she was taking something by mouth.

"I'm her grandmother. I'm supposed to spoil her, Aemond."

I tried to capture myself when I came into awareness of being dead. Therefore, the body in the image isn’t the body that we still have. It shows myself with our school things outside in the cold.

hi sarah. feel free to delete this if it’s too much, but do you know of any work (academic, personal essays, art, etc) about grieving someone who’s died to suicide/wishing they were alive while also grappling with how to square it with your anti-psych, anti-carceral, pro-bodily autonomy politics? for reference i’ve read Alexandre Baril’s paper on Suicidism before and may revisit it in this light, as well as aleks thom's writing on disenfranchised grief and your lovely recent poem about suicide, but i’m sort of at a loss about where to look for other work about the intersection of these specific topics. many thanks and much love in advance

thank you so much for asking! i feel strange saying "i'm sorry for your loss" because it's clichéd and trite and you've heard it a billion times before. i am sorry, though, and i am equally sorry that you carry your loss into a world that is so deeply hostile to everyone affected by suicide – loved ones, those who have attempted, those who have completed, those who are dealing with suicidal thoughts, all of us.

i think that perhaps the most useful thing to remember is a bit simpler and a lot more challenging than can be conveyed in a paper or poem. it's that peoples' bodyminds are their own, including when they treat said bodyminds in ways we on the outside don't like. this is true for people who do all manner of "unhealthy" and "self-harmful" things, and as loved ones, it's incredibly fucking hard to witness, especially when the consequences are deadly.

suicide grief, and in general, work by loved ones and caregivers to those of us who experience extreme states, is pretty tough to find in the area of Mad studies. this is partially justified, given the degree to which we've all been spoken over and around by abusive "caregivers." yet it also denies the simultaneity embedded in basically any Mad community: we are all both, because we're all together and hurting at once.

i actually have two friends who have written about their own experiences as suicidal + Mad people who have lost close people to suicide: MT Vallerta, a scholar-poet [check out In Memoriam], and poet S.G. Huerta [you should read their poetry book, Last Stop].

Sophie Lewis also wrote an intriguing piece that touches on suicidality, death doulaing, and kinship.

Emily Krebs studies suicide/bereavement from a Mad crip abolitionist perspective, and is worth checking out.

i think it's also a good idea to remember that a way to honor those who have completed suicide is to take better care of suicidal people who are still alive. it only does more harm to suicidal people to approach ideation/attempts carcerally, and indeed encourages more covert, risky, and isolated methods rather than open dialogue. here are some ways to honor - not only support, but truly honor, trust, and respect suicidal people:

candidly speak about death, self-harm, and "dark thoughts" - and what to do around them - before and outside of immediate crises. be explicit in your intentions to support those who are actively suicidal before the next crisis occurs. ask people their preferences - who should you call? is the hospital ever on the table, and if so, under what conditions? who will be there to advocate for them when interacting with carceral authorities?

be candid about how their actions affect you, without placing blame. when someone attempts suicide, everyone they love is affected. this is not the person's fault, but it is something that needs to be addressed in community. here's an example from my own life: a dear friend was forcibly hospitalized after an attempt. i had been a main support person of hers in previous crises, when we lived near each other. when we spoke about her experience months later, i admitted that i felt "guilty" and as though i had somehow caused her to be institutionalized by living in a different place now. she admitted to me that she felt "guilty" for having "let [her loved ones] down" and "letting" her health deteriorate. we were able to find comfort and commonality in our affective experiences, and have become better friends for it.

cool it with the solutions. ask for consent before doing anything, but especially giving advice. many people kill themselves, or try to, because they feel cornered - often for very logical reasons (poverty, oppression, abuse/complex trauma). the adage that a poor person probably has more financial wisdom than a rich advice-giver holds true here, so don't immediately offer tips unless they've asked for them. sometimes, suicidality isn't connected to anything concrete, either, or a person's reasoning doesn't "make sense" (duh). if someone has the courage and trust to come to you with their feelings of suicidality, what they need most is someone to listen, to take them seriously, and to afford them the same personhood that they would have otherwise.

when people disclose thoughts of suicide, they take an immense risk in terms of their safety and credibility, and they do so because it is not possible to be a person alone. but, we also need to hold simultaneously that the individuals who do their best to support a loved one, but are not equipped to do so, are also not at fault for somehow "killing" them. suicide is incredibly complex, and suicide grief perhaps even moreso than other types of grief.

i also don't have concrete answers as to what to do about this conflict between our emotions around suicide - wanting to save a person we love, wanting them to stop hurting, being willing to do anything to keep them around - and imagining a world against and beyond the institution in all its permutations. but i know we will move toward it together through open conversation and trust and collective risk. much love and respect to you for asking such a challenging question during a heartbreaking time. <3
