I just wanted to say tysm for posting/tling these videos about ethnic minorities!! It's so hard to find sources about a lot of them and since we're a pretty small percentage even in China it's really rare to meet other 少数民族 diasporas abroad (esp from the same group) and it's just so heartwarming to see other Chinese ethnic minorities showing their culture or clothing and just living <33
I am glad people enjoy it & I am constantly learning myself, too!
I don’t know if I’ve ever met any 少数民族diaspora irl, now that I think of it, but then again, it’s not exactly visibly apparent most of the time! (And I suppose we usually just ask which province one’s family is from, if anything)
That’s one of the reasons I like the douyin transformation trends, because they start out with everyone in daily wear (that’s fairly standard globally) before revealing the diversity in and range of ethnic group attire :)

so like i want to talk more abt what suicidal means but the problem is "suicidal ideation presents in two general forms, active and passive. the thing most people think of as suicidal is the active version, where the person *actively* desires to be dead and/or is making a plan to get there. the passive form however gets almost no attention in media so many people experiencing it are unaware they are even depressed, much less passively suicidal. some examples: not wanting to experience death but feeling like you wouldn't mind if you didn't wake up tomorrow or just stopped existing; feeling deeply exhausted with just the entire concept of being alive; even feeling like you want to run away, change your name, and start a whole new life; none of these look like suicidal ideation to most people because they don't involve actively doing anything to get from point a to point b, especially the more abstract ones like the start a new life thing - but remember that in order to truly start a whole new life, you have to destroy your current one. it's not suicidal as in wanting to actually DIE die, it's just. wanting something close enough to scratch the itch. but just because you haven't booked the ticket doesn't mean you don't still revisit the 'vacation activities at point b' tab occasionally to daydream, yknow?" is i think very informative and specific, but its also quite long and run on-y so people are v likely to tap out like a third of the way through it, whereas "suicidal doesnt necessarily mean wanting to die" is way shorter and therefore catchier, but is also the kind of nonspecific phrasing that gets you a thousand angry anons about how you said all suicidal people are just pretending they actually want to die or some dumb shit. so it's a fun line to toe

I don’t know if it’s just because I’m my mother’s child (grew up in an apocalypse preparation household for those of you who don’t know) - but why does it feel like the world is actually ending? I’m so angry and scared! Along with all the mass shootings, police brutality, racism, homophobia, wealth disparity, and white supremacy that is happening every day - we’re also watching our rights being stripped away one by one. It doesn’t end with abortion, it BEGAN with it. The Supreme Court has already ruled that police will be protected from Miranda rights lawsuits, they ruled that the EPA has no authority to reduce power plant emissions (that contribute to global warming). And they are now looking at Griswald v. Connecticut (the right to contraception), Lawrence v. Texas (same sex intercourse), Obergefell v. Hodges (gay marriage), AND Moore vs. Harper which will PERMANENTLY end democracy. It’s going to allow state legislatures unlimited power in conducting elections and choosing the outcomes of those elections regardless of how people voted. And the anger that I have is festering inside me, NO ONE is here to save us. The Democratic Party keeps promising us that they’ll protect our rights but haven’t done anything! We keep voting “the lesser of 2 evils” and still end up with evil. I am SHAKING with anger, desperation, and anxiety. I am SICK of the abuse. What the fuck do we do when we don’t know what to do?
