Does Gun Control include the police?

@PushinWeight @dubsteppenwolf surprise surprise; but affirming suicidal people's feelings actually helps in getting them to not try to kill themselves

[austin pittsley @sunyahtzee]

@PushinWeight @dubsteppenwolf vast majority who expess suicidal ideation to someone are at a relatively low risk of actually hurtint themself; best thing to do is listen and affirm their feelings

[austin pittsley @sunyahtzee]

@PushinWeight @dubsteppenwolf That's not standard protocol for suicode hotlines. I worked at one, and calling 911 was almost never the best way to go about things.

[austin pittsley @sunyahtzee]

@dubsteppenwolf Worked at a suicide hotline for a while. Can confirm this is good advice. Most suicidal people will not benefit from cops or ambulances coming.

No one “overcomes” a disability. It’s just a narrative pushed by Abled bodied people because they’d rather believe the myth that if disability becomes a hinderance we’re just not trying hard enough, rather than that society fails to be inclusive and follow the laws they created.

@babycommunism maybe you know this, but Purdue ODS offers emergency, no interest loans to students of a couple hundred dollars; you can do it once a month (I think), and all you have to say is it's for food/medication/anything pretty much and you get it

@FoxNews I hope it does and that Woody Allen's the first one burned at the stake.

Between 30% and 40% of the people who fight forest fires in California are prisoners making $2/hour. To fight fires. https://t.co/Tj8mRh7bLP

@CBSNews No it's not. People with mental illnesses are more likely to be the target of violence, and less likely to commit it.

BREAKING: North Korea state news agency: Kim Jong Un calls Trump "deranged," says he will "pay dearly" for his threats.

@AP anywhere one could see how each senator voted?

[austin pittsley @sunyahtzee]

@Cernovich Not telling the students beforehand is problematic, but other than that I think it's a great idea.
