(& that the real problem is capitalism)
#i do actually 100% agree with the first tweet. that's an interesting new perspective to me and i think it's correct#(i think a lot about drug use but usually illegal drugs so this particular thought had not come to me)#i can't work full time without being miserable. i think that's true for a lot of people who (unlike me) still have to do it#putting people in a position where they are miserable is asking for a) substance use#and b) for them to take their feelings out on other people#(& those two things are not necessarily as linked as we think. like correlation for sure. but causation?#you can use drugs and be a good parent)#and before someone calls me an abuse apologist or whatever#which is actually more productive: finding & fixing systemic conditions that lead to harm?#or blaming individuals and refusing to do anything to help them? (aka the conservative playbook)#and then yeah the second tweet accidentally points out the actual problem which is that there are absolutely cases...#... where our society rewards drunk driving#it should be easier to call out sick if you accidentally had too much to drink the night before & aren't sober yet#or to show up late. or to have access to goddamn public transit
