TW: This post discusses suicide and suicide-related topics. When I read about strings of death in the news about people who died by suicide, I am usually pretty shaken.

I am sad yes, but my heart also breaks, and I feel hopeless, both for myself and for the world around me.

Lately, I've been wondering why I can't get over fatphobia. I've gotten over so much bad programming in my life, I would have thought I could have gotten over that toxic set of ideas as well, but it seems I just can't. Ideas of fatphobia just seem to own my brain. Skinny is good; fat is bad. Skinny is lovable; fat is unlovable. Skinny is beautiful; fat is ugly.

The more I learn about depression, the more I come to terms with the fact that there will always be more to learn. In fact, it’s likely that there’s so much more I don’t know about my own depression than what I’ve learned over the past decade. I write that to say when we talk about mental health, knowledge certainly is power.

? I’ve never before led with a review of a novel, but Jessamine Chan’s The School for Good Mothers is no ordinary novel. Some might say it depicts a dystopian future child welfare surveillance state. Dystopian yes – but it’s only 20 minutes into the future (10 if you live in Pittsburgh ).
