this was a great read. “Laziness Does Not Exist” by Devon Price

Text ID:

If a person can’t get out of bed, then something is making them exhausted. If a student isn’t writing papers, there’s some aspect of the assignment they can’t do without help. If an employee misses deadlines constantly, something is making organization and deadline-meeting difficult. Even if someone is actively choosing to self-sabotage, there’s a reason for it - some fear they’re working through, some need not being met, a lack of self-esteem being expressed.

People do not choose to disappoint or fail. No one wants to feel incapable, apathetic, or ineffective. If you look at a person’s action (or Inaction) and and see only laziness, you are missing key details. There is always an exploitation. There are always barriers. Just because you can’t see them, or don’t view them as legitimate, doesn’t mean they’re not there. Look harder.

I get my media recommendations the old fashioned way: by watching someone I follow on here go on an unhinged reblog spree of media related content until I eventually decide to go “alright, what’s all this then”

There should totally be a movement called “Sleep in Public” where people defend their right to sleep on public property. Sleep in your cars. Sleep on benches. Sleep at the park. Just make it a mundane and regular part of life to see someone napping in the library. It would make it much harder to single out the homeless for harassment if everyone else is doing the same thing and much harder to argue that it’s a “threat to public safety” when it’s so clearly harmless.
