#what if we didn't celebrate and romanticize self-immolation

[nimas-li-kvar]

He... literally self-immolated. He set himself on fire. This is a tragedy of untreated mental illness, not an act of martyrdom.

#done more than him? what has he actually done? #what if our activism should look like the world we wish to create #what if we didn't celebrate and romanticize self-immolation #really fucking disturbing #I've personally had people in my life engage in copycat suicide attempts/suicide contagion #if you think this won't encourage other mentally unwell people... you are wrong
