  • I certainly agree this does not address the root issue, and it does normalize this technology for adresssing social issues and can then be applied to places where its more harmful like crime- And also I think taken on its own merits this is a good intervention to exist for suicide prevention specifically (though I think its valid to not take it purely on its own merits if one is concerned about the adoption of surveillance tech)

    I do want structural solutions though. But that requires rebuilding society in the image of treating humans better, better work and environmental conditions, rethinking healthcare (at least here in the US, no idea how things are in Korea), and about a million other things

    And I do think the normalization of surveillance infrastructure should be taken seriously. Especially with the present global rise of authoritarianism





  • First, please don’t kill yourself. Ultimately, none of us can make the decision, but from one deeply unwell dysfunctional human to another, I prefer this world with you in it

    Thats a really hard situation to be in. I’m also really struggling to adapt to functioning in this world, it’s a really hard place to be. I think two things can be true. Its valid for them to be upset that you weren’t cleaning and whatnot around the appointment. And at the same time, that doesn’t make you a bad person. Sometimes when you’re unwell, you struggle to handle your responsibilities.

    That doesnt make you a bad person, it makes you unwell and struggling to handle your responsibilities. Regardless of whether they’re understandably frustrated with the situation.

    I wish there was more support I could give, but I’m sending love 🫂
