  • That would be true, except almost every country on the planet has made it illegal to admit the thoughts, so they can’t get help. They can’t help that they have the thoughts and then they can’t get help to fix it. We’ve (seemingly all of humanity) made their existence illegal and then refuse the social accountability of helping them correct things. I think it was an Australian psychiatrist who set up the anonymous hotline for people who wanted help. That’s the only time and place I’ve heard about people able to get help in this way.

    And, to add insult to injury, it really seems to be almost entirely created by trauma. So, the people who would victimize are victims themselves and our universal stance is “sorry, you can’t exist.”













  • I once worked for 32 hours straight in a print shop to get a project out the door. Print shops (especially then) were fucking insane pressure cookers. The same intensity as an ER only stupid because instead of lives being on the line it was money. A lot of money, but just money. Early 00’s, everything was output on film back then. Had a weird error in an image that was used throughout a catalog. Normally, you could send a working signature through to the press, but the image was in every signature except the cover. I tried every possible trick I knew to get it to work, output film to test it, back to the drawing board. But yeah, 32 hours straight on this one thing. Finished up at around 4am, drove home but just kind of kept driving. Slightly delirious. Parked on top of a ridge off the shoulder and watched the sun come up. Went home and slept for I don’t even know how long.
