So I found out a few months ago that wanting to ‘not exist’ or wishing you could ‘just sleep forever’ is also considered suicidal (specifically suicidal idealization). It shocked me cause I used to think that way when I was younger but had previously thought that being suicidal meant explicitly wanting to die.. but it actually involves wanting to not live too.

I think its an important thing to note cause it might allow someone to realize the severity of their condition earlier.

This was the funniest thing to me. Because I was talking to a counselor, and they were like “Are you suicidal?”

Through Dirty Computer, Janelle Monáe introduces the concept of growth within the android world she’s constructed by including even more openly queer themes and moving from her signature black and white to introduce color. This growth isn’t without struggle, however, as the emotion picture clearly shows us that it feels easier to be an android than to resist and be yourself in a world that is unwilling to accept you or even let you live if you aren’t white, straight, male, compliant, and, for all intents and purposes, invisible. In this essay, I will

stop rebooting shit and hire actually talented screenwriters, directors, photographers, and artists for original ideas. no one wants to see the same shit recycled over and over again. enough romanticizing the past, fuck nostalgia. pay people to make new and interesting shit, damn. what are these people afraid of? actually entertaining people?
