People Are So Fucked Up When It Comes To Addiction, Even With Things That Are Normalized Or Legal.

people are so fucked up when it comes to addiction, even with things that are normalized or legal.

when my mom got cancer, which eventually spread to her lungs, then her brain, and killed her, the first thing people would ask is "oh, was she a smoker?" as if smoking cigarettes would have justified her death, made it more palatable, would absolve them of feeling sympathy and absolve me of feeling grief. it was an implication of "it is less sad because it was her fault."

my mother quit smoking thirty years prior to getting cancer. but that isn't the point. i don't care if people smoke 5 packs a day. no one deserves their death to be trivialized just because they were an addict and no one deserves to feel like their loved one's death was less important because they were an addict.

do not confuse the lack of foot traffic outside for cleaning the environment. big oil companies dumping oil in the ocean and large industries polluting greenhouse gases are what is hurting the planet.

animals going into the city is just entropy, it is less noisy or they have become dependent on human food or they are foraging. that is just normal. not a sign that mother nature is healing. just shut up.

people aren’t the problem, capitalism is what is causing global warming and climate change. we need to stop massive waste and large scale pollution.

찬이의 “방” 🐺 100 Episode Special

100… Wow…

To say you’ve done 100 episodes of Chan’s Room truly shocks me. It doesn’t feel like it’s been that long, since that first day you showed up on VLive and spoke to us so sweetly and warmly. 100 episodes later, and you’re still doing just that. Week after week, being there for us no matter what… Being kind, warm, funny, friendly, offering advice. I have nothing in my heart but gratitude towards you Bang Chan. Thank you for being the most amazing human ever.

I can’t wait to see you next week!
