i think it’s so fucking funny when people talk about depression and suicide and say things like “you’re loved. i love you. i care. you matter🥺” and i just laugh and think to myself ‘i could slit my arms open wrist to elbow and bleed out and you wouldn’t even fucking know.’ Nothing in your life would change. You’d go about your day and i would take up absolutely 0 space in your mind or life. Stop lying to people. The only impact my death would have would be putting my parents even deeper into debt with funeral costs. I can’t even die without being a fucking problem.

"All life even the unborn is sacred."
Okay, say Roe v. Wade is overturned.
Rachel is 13. She makes a mistake and sleeps with a guy. She gets pregnant. Doctors tell her that her body will suffer permanent damage if she gives birth. She can't imagine being a parent. She still has a bed time! When she petitions the government to allow her an abortion, she's told, "Suck it up, Buttercup."
She dies in childbirth. Why wasn't her life sacred?
Jeremy was raped by men who wanted to punish him for transitioning. They didn't believe he was a man and called him demeaning names as they held him down. When he finds out he's pregnant, he's told that because no one was able to be convicted for raping him, he's not able to meet the rape exception for abortion. Not only will he be forced to give birth to his rapist's baby, but the doctor can no longer prescribe him hormones lest it hurt the fetus. As his body slowly begins to look more feminine, Jeremy can't forget the sound of the men telling him that he's a woman.
Eventually, he can't take it anymore. He commits suicide. Why wasn't his life sacred?
Agatha would really love to carry a baby to term, but she doesn't have the money to raise one. She's not allowed an abortion. She has problems producing milk, so when the baby (Joey) is born, she needs formula. But there's a formula shortage, and she doesn't always have the money for it. Her senators don't believe it's their duty to ensure Joey's or Agatha's survival. Handouts, they say, encourage laziness.
Joey dies of malnutrition, and even though she did everything in her power to save the baby, Agatha is charged with neglect. Why are their lives not sacred?
Sam miscarries, but the fetus won't leave their body. They need an abortion, but regulations are strict. As the corpse of the fetus rots inside them, their case is put on a waiting list to decide whether an abortion will be allowed. They're granted an abortion...but by that time the infection has grown too severe. They die.
Why wasn't their life sacred?
Penelope was raped at a party. She was drugged and lay there helpless as her rapist forced himself on her. Everytime she closes her eyes, she sees his face. But the doctor doesn't believe her. She doesn't seem as emotional as he believes a rape victim would be, and while her body shows signs of intercourse, it's impossible to tell if it was consensual or not. So she's forced to carry the pregnancy to term.
Why isn't her life sacred?
I could go on, but here's the thing. You say, "Abortion is only acceptable when it's due to..." but in making those restrictions, you force people to jump through hoops to prove that their pregnancy meets the exceptions. If a doctor doesn't believe them, if the waiting list is too long, if they're not lucky enough to live in a state with any exceptions, these people could die or have their lives ruined.
Maybe you believe they should have been given an abortion, but you're voting for people who will make it so difficult to obtain an abortion that people meeting the exceptions will inevitably be turned away.
My what red hands you'll have if Roe v. Wade is overturned.

The Unsympathetic Rob Thomas (Trigger Warning: Suicide)
(plus how Ryan Hansen learned from Rob Thomas' unsympathetic ways)
And no, I'm not talking about how he made Veronica Mars. It was about Party Down, its history, and his apathy-ness when creating the show with his friends.
Based on his own interview about Party Down, Rob Thomas was asked the reason why he made Party Down: The show was a collaboration between him, John Enbom, Dan Etheridge, and Paul Rudd; friends who wanted to make a comedy series based on the experience they had in Hollywood.
He went to this party in Hollywood and struck up a conversation with one of the waiters or a bartender. While his friends were sometimes listening to the bartender telling the story of how he ended up in Hollywood, Rob was listening intently. The guy told him that he was a small-time actor, who was basically a glorified extra. The more he told the story, the more unhinged he became. He admitted that he got depressed after a string of failures. And he had to take a catering job to support his life. In the middle of the story, he cried as he poured his heart out about his failed life and even one-time considers suicide.
As the bartender practically sobbed while telling the story, Rob awkwardly left him.
And this part made me cold in my heart when he returned to his friends - he LAUGHED telling this story about a failed actor who was so depressed that he almost committed suicide. He then told John that this might be a really good basis for a tv show. "How about we make a comedy series about a bunch of losers who work in a catering business, and no matter how hard they try, they will never succeed?"
John thought it was a good idea and was ready to recruit his friend, actor Paul Rudd to be a part of the creators of the show. When the interviewer asked Rob what happened to the waiter/bartender, Rob just shrugged and answered, "I hope he didn't kill himself." As I read that interview (I'm sorry I can't provide the interview link because I don't remember where I read it and it was a very long time ago, almost 12 years or so) I was so sick to find out that Rob nonchalantly telling this story. The amount of apathy from this man, telling a story about a suicidal man, laughing about it, and thinking it would make a good COMEDY series...
Tumblr media
Look, you can get inspiration from anywhere. Sometimes you'd get it from the darkest place of humanity, and it's legit. But... the way Rob was telling the story like it was no big deal, and the lack of empathy radiating from Rob, made my skin crawl. And the fact this is a true story, not a rumor created by some blogger, but a legit interview from an official magazine, made me shake my head.
And the ironic thing is that when Brad Bufanda died of suicide, Rob actually tweeted his condolences. But it felt... how do I say it... empty? It was like he had to do it because his death was Trending on Twitter, and many casts tweeted their condolences, especially Francis Capra and Julie Gonzalo. Francis was a friend of Brad's family, so he reached out to his mother. Julie was his co-star in Cinderella Story. But Rob (and KBell) didn't say anything until everyone sorta tagged them about his death. Btw, KBell never tweeted anything.
Brad Bufanda's mother reached out to me on this blog, and I felt gutted that the show meant something to him and his family. I still remember when Brad and I DM'd a few times a few years before his suicide. He was DEPRESSED. Apparently, after Veronica Mars, he didn't have a steady job. He got rejected so many times whenever he went to casting calls. He even said "The fans don't care. They don't care about me." I was so confused about how to answer that, but I tried my best to encourage him that the fans did care about him. Anyway, he deleted his Twitter account and I didn't know how to reach him until I heard about his suicide.
So... to have Rob making fun of a depressed person who was suicidal and at the same time tweeting about someone he knew who committed suicide is making me nauseous.
Another story about Party Down was coming from Ryan Hansen who was also one of the cast of the show. It wasn't an interview per se, but more like a tidbit behind the scene regarding one of the episodes.
There was an episode (I forgot the title), but if you watched the show, you know which one I'm talking about. It was about the orgy episode where the Party Down caterers served them, and the interviewer asked the cast about how the episode was made; the technicality of it, the guest stars, how they filmed it, etc etc.
Ryan, jokingly, talked about how there were so many nude extras, and some of them were beautiful girls. And as they were hanging around, Ryan struck up a conversation with a bunch of naked girls. He was making small talk and trying to make everything fun because apparently, directing a bunch of naked people doing sex wasn't easy.
Ryan, then, ASKED WHETHER HE COULD TOUCH THE BOOBS. The girls at first were reluctant, but one of the girls let him touch and fondled the boobs. Some of them were laughing like it was nothing because most of them were okay doing that. It was a bizarre situation but nothing new in Hollywood. It wasn't until Ryan fondled another boob from a different girl, the girl burst into tears.
The nude girl said she had no choice doing this type of role. She was a small-time actress and had to accept this kind of role to support her life and school. Ryan, while telling the story, mocked her cry. He mimicked her sobbing and cry "Booohoooo hoooo!" and he had no choice but to stop fondling her boob. He laughed and made a comment that if she didn't want to be there, then she should just leave and find another career.
Now, I don't care whether you agree or disagree with someone's career choice, whether it's a sex worker, nude artist, an extra, or whatever. I do care whether you are dick or not (pun intended), and actually be a human being that shows empathy or something.
The interviews were after Party Down had already been canceled at the time, and I already watched the show and didn't think about the complication behind the scenes. But I lost all respect for both Rob Thomas and Ryan Hansen back then. And I have to admit, I had a myopic POV regarding them when they announced the Veronica Mars movie and their interviews were forgotten by me. It wasn't until recently that those memories came back to me, and I regret having ever supported them and even have a blind spot regarding them. That is why I changed the Rob Thomas Book Club to BLIND RATS.
My point is... jebus, it's not hard to be kind to strangers who poured their hearts out. Don't be an asshole and laugh when someone said that they have a problem.
“when someone shows you who they are, believe them”
Note: No, this is NOT the interview I was talking about. This is a new interview, in which Rob is adamant that Party Down is not based on a true story, very different from the old interview that now I can't find the link. Feel free to believe which version, but I do still remember his original story.

12:30am. i received a call from a friend.
we lost another fellow doctor today.
it hit differently because I knew them since undergrad personally. They were bright, wielding a vibrant personality despite the odds. They brought this with them through med school - also through residency, I presumed. And we walked the same paths, but diverged in the detours.
To hear this update about them - someone I distantly knew, but had been rooting for in their chosen field when I heard about them from common friends - is unfair. Someone who was so close to becoming a person equipped to better the lives of others, lost before they even had the chance to do so.
we don't know the full context of why, how it lead to this, but this could have been prevented. we could speculate and speculate, but -
the system must have killed them.
the one who called me had added that a different institution lost 3 trainees to suicide in the span of a year - 2 of which from the same department, within the span of weeks from each other.
I tweeted about this acquaintance. But deleted it out of respect for those closer to them, because I only knew them in passing. I felt it wasn't my place to speak out before those close to them. but my feelings burned.
it is unfair for a system like this to persist. just a few weeks back, a consultant on twitter asked about why the number of those who went into residency continued to dwindle in number.
then this news of a suicide.
this system must be purged and wrought anew. dramatic, but there should be sirens for this demand. no team member should be left behind. and yet there are those who persist to claim it is the way it is to strain those of quality, rather than to build up individuals into stronger versions of themselves. that programs are there because skills are to be taught and learned - not gatekept for petty pride.
a weird segue, but a part of me hoped that there was a modicum of truth to the stories about being transported back in time or into other worlds. a trend in fiction nowadays. it may be useless, but i hope - hope and pray and wish it - that wherever their soul ends up, that their next chances at life would be kinder and more triumphant for them.
we'll miss you! and we'll continue to fight for a better world for those of the same ilk. but for now, i pray you can rest better, even for a while.

Begging P.C. Cast and her agents, editors, and publishers to stop romanticizing suicide. It's legitimately fucking dangerous.

Headcanon: Myra is 100% the type of woman who would threaten to divorce Eddie if she didn’t have her way. I wouldn’t be surprised if she kept signed divorce papers hanging up on their fridge “as a reminder”. Needless to say, when Eddie gets the call from Mike, he remembers what it felt like to have six different people who genuinely loved him. As a result, when he went home to pack, he “accidentally” submitted the paperwork and pawned his wedding ring on his way to Derry. He also “accidentally” blocks Myra on everything and “accidentally” gets a new phone
I see Myra as more the type to threaten self-harm or suicide if she doesn't get her way.
Cause like, divorce isn't much of a threat to Eddie. He may not be strong enough to do the deed himself, but if Myra was the one saying they should get a divorce he would for sure be like "~oh no ~how sad ~but if you think thats best honey..."
So yeah. Not much of a threat.
Myra threatening to hurt herself though... every time Eddie seems to be getting a bit of independence (making friends at work, getting interested in a hobby that doesn't include her, telling her that she's being unreasonable) and god forbid, maybe even thinking of leaving her... well "how can you do this to me Eddie?! You know what the doctor says about my delicate mental condition? Maybe you don't care about me at all? Maybe you would rather I were dead? Maybe I should just not be here so you can live your perfect Myra-less life?"
And well, Eddie is not a monster. He would never want anyone to actually die.
In my perfect world, Eddie returns to Derry, remembers the six loves of his life. Falls in love all over again. LIVES. Suddenly understands and has the strength to call Myra's bluff. Telephones her from the hospital (where he and his lovers are recovering) to announce their separation. And says "If you must, you must dear" and hangs up when Myra starts spouting her bullshit about killing herself.
I still like your idea of him then pawning the ring, blocking Myra on everything, saying he wants "nothing" in the divorce (all the good memories from his childhood and of his father are locked away in a storage facility anyway since Myra didn't like having them around the house), and never talking to her again (letting the lawyers sort out the details).
Thank you @zelinksupporter. That was nice to think about. 🥰

What Happened to the Cast of Storm Chasers?
I wanted to know, so now I do, and so do you.
2023 was an active storm season in the United States. In early March, a historic outbreak spawned 35 tornadoes across the Midwest, including at least four tornadoes in Indiana. This event rekindled my interest in weather watching and severe weather, something I’ve been fascinated and spooked by since I was in elementary school. I found an online community of weather enthusiasts and began watching…

I’ve got 15 minutes left of today and it’s the only day I want to talk about this. Please do not read if you are easily triggered.
On the 23rd December a good friend of mine, Tom, took his own life. I know people say this about everyone who commits suicide, but Tom was a really special person. He was grumpy, he was moody, he was kind, he was considerate and above everything he cared about the people he loved.
Tom was my ex-boyfriend’s housemate. They were both at home when he took his life. I hadn’t seen Tom since August, when I was going through my own mental struggles dealing with my mum’s illness. I got drunk at his bar with a friend until I was inconsolable on the bathroom floor. Tom put the entire bathroom out of order so that no one would see the state I was in until my friend could get me out. Tom texted me the next morning to make sure I was okay.
I had no idea just how badly Tom was struggling, and it’s had an impact on me since I’ve found out the news. People like Tom don’t realise how many people love them and depend on them. The outpouring of love since he passed has been immense.
Today is Tom’s 28th birthday. As a gift, I’d like to remind everyone, including those who have, who are currently, and who might in the future go through something like Tom did, that there are resources out there to help. No one should be made to feel like Tom did, to feel like they don’t have another choice. I’ve linked below a website that lists multiple hotlines in the UK and in the US.
If you are not in the UK or the US and would like help, I am open to chat to and to find the right resources for you!
We are finally putting Tom to rest on the 3rd February. Happy Birthday, friend ❤️

He had lived until that moment by that blind faith that breeds a grim integrity. This faith was deserting him, this integrity was failing him. Everything he had believed was disintegrating. Truths he did not want to recognize obsessed him unrelentingly. He must from now on be a different man. He suffered the strange pangs of a conscience that has suddenly undergone a cataract operation. He saw what he shrank from seeing. He felt drained, useless, out of joint with his past life, dismissed, dissolved. Authority was dead within him. He no longer had any reason for being.
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables (transl. C. Donougher)

We need feminism because when Sulli was found hanging in her apartment the only thing the media wanted to talk about was how she accidentally revealed her breast on instagram live and the times her nipples were visible through her shirts because she wasn’t wearing a bra.

This was inspired by this post. This is me overcoming my Bruce Wayne bias and trying to see a different pov. But my post is still gonna be Bruce-centric, so, did I really overcame? Idc. This is gonna be BRUCE-CENTRIC, just in case people don't want to read that. Also, it's gonna have disturbing themes.
Trigger warning: Suicide attempt, Suicidal feelings, Suicidal thoughts
I have a love-hate relationship with that post. I LOVE Bruce so much. He is my comfort father figure LOL
But also...this is a very compelling angle. And the angst lover in me wants to see how Bruce reacts to it too.
Maybe when he comes back, he sees how his family and Gotham as a whole is doing so much better. It breaks him. Just like it breaks us all when we find out how we are not really as much of a good person or good family member as we thought we were. I know that feeling. The guilt, the despair...it kills me. I can't imagine how much it kills Bruce after he realises how much he has neglected his family and how he is their ruin. How his family is so much happier without him.
At first he was angry. He felt betrayed. He felt wronged. How can his family abandon him like that. But his conscience stopped him. Coz slowly he realized, they did love him. They loved him so much. But he was not a good father or a good mentor. Or even a good person. He too had abandoned his kids so many times. Over his rules and his mission, had he not?? He was supposed to love them and be there for them. All he did was make things worse...
He wanted to go back and make it better. Apologize to them. Beg them to give him a chance. But then he realized, he will just make it worse. No matter what, he can't change WHAT he is. If he goes back, he might still keep Gotham first. He might not be able to help himself. Lord knows, his own past actions are proof enough. His mere presence might also push Tim further into guilt too maybe. (he finds out Tim knew Bruce is alive but chose not to do that and put his family first. Idk how B finds out. Make something up. As you can see, I am not much of a writer 😔.) So, Bruce also, for the first time in his life probably, decided to put his kids first.
He walks away from Gotham. He walks away from Batman. The world is a better place without him. And Bruce is OK with it, surprisingly. Maybe he was tired of himself too. No. He has always been tired of himself. But until this point, he was too egoistic to accept that.
He also knows himself. Knows he can't stay from Gotham for long. So, he needs to find a permanent solution. He goes back in time, to an unimportant timeline with Dr. Fate's help. He is tired of his own failures and wrong doings. This is the only place of comfort he knows, strangely, the only place he is sure of will never leave him alone. The only sense of permanence in his life. He walks into the crime alley. He won't come back again.
