I need some fucking air and time on my bike to calm the fuck down.

Still not fucking calm.

Punya la susah nak dapat public airtime& opportunities to discuss this safely in the public sphere, punya la hold back disappointment with the lack of progressive legal reform & meaningful avenues to seek help, the FUCKING PRO VC can make a fucking dismissive joke about suicide.

In his fucking opening remarks, no less.

Motherfucker.

Sorry lah, aku takleh respond to mentions.

Aku taknak lash out at anyone, but I also need to vent.

Feel free to mute this thread.

I am angry, disappointed, I feel betrayed, I feel taken for granted.

Kalau daily interaction, orang buat lawak pasal suicide on Twitter for example, I can brush it off as another asshole.

Ini dekat event #WSPD , opening remarks, buat LAWAK PASAL SUICIDE.

PUKIMAK

Over the last 2 months or so, aku dah helped manage around a dozen people in various states of distress & suicidal ideation.

Aku punya la susah nak convince derang to get help, to see a doctor, to call 999...

...mai datang satu pukimak clueless nak mampus buat lawak pasal suicide.

Holy fucking shit.

Sampai aku sendiri tak sempat postvention, sendiri tak sempat nak debrief dengan therapist, sendiri pun vulnerable.

Holy fucking shit bro. If one of your deans comes up to you and says that they are suicidal, you help them get help, you don't tell them to join in a debate.

Fucking clueless.

2022 seems to be the year of losing faith and trust in allies.

Sangat, sangat sedih. I really don't know how to describe this feeling.

Fuck.

Some context on why I'm pissed.

This feels like what usually fucks our country up.

The everyday people do their jobs and what they are supposed to do, and along comes a VIP being absolutely clueless about how to be relatable and ends up making inappropriate jokes, and no one calls them out.
