Today on #malcified I’d like to share this sketch called #innerhealing on #sustainability and a few words.

Sustainability: meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. - UN

Our indiscriminate use of each other, land, and natural resources at a rate faster and greater than it can naturally replenish is demonstrated in our daily life as well.

- A culture of use and dispose - food, products, humans, animals, land, plants, resources…everything!

-The global workforce sufferring from #burnouts due to extreme workloads and overworking

- Inadequate and ineffective #worklifebalance measures where #HumanResources (#HR) departments have weak autonomy, functioning purely as a target-driven business process

- Businesses striving to accomplish ever-growing unrealistic revenue, investor returns, and profit projections, cutting costs and compromising on health, safety, security, well-being of its employees - full-time, part-time, and contract staff

- Hiring #Thirdpartyserviceproviders (#TPSP) without performing adequate #DueDiligence, that compromise on major #legal #compliance, #reputational, #environmental #humanrights #riskfactors by procuring cheap labor and raw materials from jurisdictions without proper #humanrights awareness, laws, and historical background, countries without appropriate #governance, Governmental frameworks like #sustainabilitypolicy, #climatepolicy #Laborlaws and support frameworks, corporate #ESG frameworks, #environmentallaws, #regulations, #judiciary, #enforcement and #implementation frameworks and systems

-consumeristic and materialistic society focused purely on indiscriminate production and consumption, with no/less awareness of their individual #carbonfootprint, of #responsibleconsumption (#SDG12)

-#throwawaysociety where single-use disposable items are expected, #unboxing and other trash-generating practices are glorified, ephemeral products and goods are preferred to life-time durable ones.

The list goes on…

Maybe, our behavior has something to do with the way we look and feel about ourselves. We’re all maybe consciously and unsconsciously insecure about some aspect of our life.

Maybe, when we feel good and appreciated from within, we appreciate and look after our surroundings well. So, working on being more compassionate, content, and appreciative of ourselves is a good place to begin, then maybe, together, we can do better.

Seeking an inner healing for each of us!

Regardless, only the beings present now and in the future shall suffer from our own over-indulgence. The land, nature, oceans, whatever we call them, have been here long before and shall evolve and replenish from our relentless onslaught, eventually. With or without us.

When it becomes part of them (Timeline)

Attempting to replicate the shows storyboards.

Technically their mystics pop up sporadically in season 1, until Leo in showdown. Then the others in season 2. Once they do, its a matter of time to master it, with some bumps in the road ofc.

Look at the little anime protagonists

And then the ending of season 2 comes along-

Edited with more 2003 markings 👆 (might keep it)

DPxDC prompt: Danny Phantom is an extremely high-level threat due to his capabilities and experience battling against his ghostly enemies. Batman is creating a contingency plan for him and Constantine's advice, as the one who dances the tango with the Infinite Realms? A bone-weary sigh of "plop him down a telly and put on a NASA documentary or something. It's like you haven't been dealing with teen kids for decades now fer fuck's sake."

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".

[plain-text version of this post can be found under the cut]

Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"

And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".

Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.

At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.

So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!

Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!

Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!

Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.

So I've been doing this thing for months where I just start grabbing one of my plushies to have as tummy support to prevent me from leaning too far forward towards my screen (the plush pushes me back as it's against the desk).

Maybe not good advice but for now it's better than me leaning all the way forward like a dog
