as soon as the internet decided depression and anxiety were the everyman mental illnesses and therefore not to be taken seriously we were all fucked tbh bc the fact that i have to feel embarrassed to admit i have debilitating anxiety because people will think im just an uwu dont call me out coward is ridiculous. its insane that i have to clarify that my depressive episodes are like life threatening and not whatever dipshit dumbed down idea of depression people seem to have like oh yeah i just wanna watch netflix and eat ice cream and not text people back. like bro i think im the devil
like maybe depression and anxiety are household names now but they do still kill people. like. theres a reason they fucking kill people.
This Wednesday (February 1st), over 400,000 workers across the UK will be taking part in coordinated strike action. This comes in response to the government’s decision to introduce further trade union legislation that will force unions to provide a mimimum service requirement when there members take strike action. This anti-strike legislation will seriously curtail the democratic rights of workers in this country to seek strike action.
In response, several unions across the country have mobilised their members to take coordinated strike action.
This Wednesday will see the most workers out on strike simultaneously in over a decade and marks a significant escalation in the battle between the unions and the government.
the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you’re supposed to help your friends move even if it’s hard work. or stay up with them when they’re sad even if you’re gonna lose sleep. you’re supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that’s how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they’re sick. you’re supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there’s actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.
oh man I would just. Like to be treated like a person for once. I’d like to be picked and chosen and respected and given care and grace. I would like to not be the afterthought
