So, hey, I was trying to be less mad overall. Just the whole “Smile, it confuses people”, “kill them with kindness”, “Don’t base your actions on other’s behavior”, etc, etc, etc. Sure, I can actually do that for a little bit. The medications work to an extent. It scares me to think of how I would be without them? Well, I was, I remember being just as mad. I think it was a burden, and then when it goes away, you realize what a burden it was. I am not making sense. Probably because I’m straining to see beyond the red mist that is currently swirling all around me. Something personally occurred that kicked up the rage. Then something else happened that just cemented it. Now I’m back to “Fuck everything. Screw not being mad”.
I really am not in the right head space to vent about the personal issue at length, but long story, short, it should be WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY easier for healthcare professions to transfer licenses state to state. ESPECIALLY since COVID opened up TELEHEALTH to the masses, and it has continue to be used extensively, especially clients/patients in rural areas. I now live in an area where seeing doctors can take a LONG time, especially specialists. I HAVE to rely on telehealth. It is required. We have social service shortages. Women aren’t going to colleges in anti abortion states, on the whole— less doctors, less nurses, less teachers, less social workers.
Moving on.
I watched a documentary tonight called “Crip Camp”. It’s on Netflix, link below. I learned more about the struggle of the disabled to gain equal civil rights. If it doesn’t make you mad, you watched it wrong. Seriously. It reminded me, again. AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN. It’s about MONEY. The money. It’s too expensive to fund equal rights. It’s too expensive to keep kids out of poverty. It’s too expensive to have our public spaces be wheelchair accessible. Because those people don’t deserve to be in public? One person in the documentary said “They want us dead”. Yes. Let’s be honest here. The rich. The powerful. The ones who legislate change. Many of them just wish pockets of the population didn’t exist, and they would just die. Well, I wish they would.
Now watching, Miranda’s Victim (rented on redbox on demand) and I’m shaking with rage in the first 20 minutes as the victim experiences the 1963 version of a “rape kit”. Truly disgusting and disturbing. TODAY, in 2023, people share similar experiences. Women truly are just garbage in this country. Just full on garbage. Sickening. I wonder how much more mad I will be in 30 more minutes. Dear god, and how the mother reacts. I just can’t handle this.
So now my huge “I’m mad and gonna write a blog” just totally fizzled out. I just feel depleted now. I’m gonna keep this short and go take my meds. Check out the links! Good fucking stuff!!
