cw: suicide

The fact that #SuicidePreventionMonth centres around helplines, friendship, and 'don't be afraid to speak out!' rather than healthcare, radically transforming services, eradicating poverty and fighting oppression is telling to how performative the whole thing is.

cw: suicide

Telling someone 'reach out, speak to someone!' is all well and good if they can't put fucking food on their table, or if they're being systemically abused mental health services, or if they can't get the meds they need to keep their ideations at bay.

cw: suicide

I need everyone to ask themselves: what are you more committed to?

Actually preventing suicide?

Or making it look like you care about preventing suicide?
