i regret eveything

or you could embrace being terrible

Hey, so, um, suppose hypothetically that there's someone who's so horrible that everything they do becomes bad just because they touched it and they hurt everyone they interact with in any way and any attempt to act according to any ideology will have the worst possible result and they have almost no skills and a tiny income. Can such a person do anything good in the world? Is there anything so simple and with so little room for individuality to show through that their vileness is irrelevant?

The first thing anyone at all can do to make the world better is be happy. 

That is because peoples’ happiness is always and everywhere unconditionally good, and a world in which you are happy is a better world.

I am saying this because it really really sounds like you’re not happy, and it doesn’t even sound like you’re sure you should be happy, and it definitely sounds like your definition of ‘things that make the world better’ doesn’t include ‘having ice cream and reading webcomics’ or ‘forgiving myself for my irredeemable terribleness’ but those are both something good in the world. And not trivially good, not meaninglessly good, not ‘well, no one’s completely useless’ good, we’re paying nearly a thousand dollars per person to try to improve peoples’ happiness when we give to organizations like GiveDirectly, and that’s a really fantastic deal, because making people happy matters. 

So. Saying ‘I am irredeemably horrible and everything I touch is bad and I forgive myself and I deserve happiness anyway’? Makes. The. World. Better. 

(Saying ‘oh, I should forgive myself, I am a bad person for not forgiving myself and for not being happy and I can’t even manage that what the fuck is wrong with me that really proves I’m hopeless?’ Does not make the world better. You have categorical permission to stop feeling self-loathing, not orders to add self-loathing to the things to feel self-loathing over. The thing I am suggesting to you is really hard and it is often shatteringly difficult to attempt it and it might not work right away and that is okay and you are good and you are okay and you deserve happiness.)

Depending on your circumstances, seeking the support of a therapist or access to medication might also make you feel less this way; often feeling irredeemably evil is a symptom of depression or something related. 

There isn’t anything you can ruin just by touching it, by the way. All the beautiful things in the world are still there, I just looked. You can have horribly negative and counterproductive reactions to them, but the world keeps being there whether or not you believe in it and ideas keep standing or falling on their own merits regardless of the merits of the people who interact with them and good things keep being good and your happiness keeps being one of the good things.

There’s a lot that a person who doesn’t have much money or rare skills or the thick skin for activism can do in the world. But I really, really think that for you to do those things and find those things rewarding, you want to first try saying to yourself that it will bring good to the world if you are happy. That you cannot possibly be so horrible that it would stop being good for you to see a tiny fluffy animal of your preferred taxonomic designation and to smile at it. That lots and lots of people want good things for you, just because you can have experiences at all, and nothing you can do could ever possibly change that. 

Maybe There Are No Good Cops?

In the wake of the police-shooting deaths of Terence Crutcher, Tyre King, Keith Lamont Scott and (insert the name of the next victim here), there will undoubtedly be quickly assembled news panels with ex-cops and former police officials regurgitating the same stale arguments. As they bombard media outlets with the usual litany of excuses meant…

Like I been sayin’!

i feel like going full league of shadows sometimes

it’s all going to burn down, between hillary and trump it’s just a matter of how long that will take because jill stein has no chance and the “third option” is a pure capitalist

perhaps trump will bring it sooner, and after me and my family are deported back to the philippines i’ll be watching everything collapse perched atop my family’s townhouse (in the provinces, manila’s defo getting hit) with a tearful smile on my face, between sniping at rugby-sniffers on the sidewalks for rodrigo duterte

thinking about the presidential election is so stressful tho like this time next year we could all be bitching about how hillary hasn’t solved racism yet or donald fuckin trump could be in charge of all of our nuclear weapons, which, by the way, america still has roughly five thousand of in working order and 1.5 thousand ready to go at any time.
