i actually think this is one of the main tools of fascism right now. people being unable to communicate properly and make sense of the written information around them just makes it so much easier to oppress them.
You need to understand that this is by design. Working-class people used to be shockingly literate. The rich and powerful have built a society where most folks are addicted to screens because mass literacy threatens them. They want you to be stupid. We resist them by reading.
every traumatised woman i know has gone to therapy, done the work, is constantly growing and evolving and actively trying to improve herself. every traumatised man i know refuses to even acknowledge they have any problems.
every time a woman in her 30s is panicking like this i hold her hand and im like girl. look at most of the men u know in their 30s. they haven’t done HALF the work on themselves that you have done on yourself. ur so good, don’t even worry abt it
Girls in their 30s be like, “OMG I’m so behind,” but meanwhile they’ve healed their inner child, stopped people pleasing, left that toxic job, started therapy, learned to enjoy their own company, travel when they want, and actually like themselves now.

Israel just murdered people in a wedding in Gaza, six are dead, and I have yet to see ANY coverage about this. Israel is massacring people every damn day DURING A CEASEFIRE and here we are, not even seeing these attacks anymore on our feeds. Palestinian people alone once again.
We’ve reached the point of Israel’s genocide where Doctors Without Borders can report a 29-DAY-OLD Palestinian baby freezing to death and it’s not even news.
Indeed it is a stage managed collapse of the NHS. The UK govt could have offered free flu vaccines AND paid the doctors to avoid strikes but instead, they want chaos in order to propose privatisation of healthcare as the solution.
There are EIGHT political prisoners on hunger strikes in UK prisons for opposing the UK’s role in genocide who haven’t eaten for over a MONTH
Imagine this was Iran or Russia or China — it would be all over the media cycle
