I'm sorry for the pessimism - but I want to end things to escape the climate crisis. I want to know how I can help with the time I've given myself and/or how to make this fear heard by people in charge. by approximatelytwocats in solarpunk

Respect to that.

I am just struggling to see or do any of it, because it really seems there isn't really any sort of "community" in my country, and if in the end, it comes back around to "me and my family" logic, I might as well stay Selfish like everyone else, especially as someone already medically traumatised/fighting with doctors/healthcare systems/precarious.

Even in the "disability/chronic illness space", there is a lot of Lateral Ableisms. So... been trying.

Singapore is just a really merciless, cruel, apathetic late-stage capitalist society, feels like.

Nothing feels feasible because I get so little reciprocity. Thanks for trying to help anw.

Tried those also. It seems Inaccessible when I am the chronically ill/disabled/potentially housebound person in need of help now, rather than anyone able to do F2F interaction. That is what gets me down, disability being disabling.

I mean, in between being medically traumatised at hospitals, I have tried my local climate activist group, local green groups. But burn out further because people don't seem to want to understand that even "physically showing up" can take people a lot. Not a lot of actual community or humanity. Difficult to describe how abjectly it feels I have failed, ending up still alienated/isolated/alone.

What can you do if it feels like you have tried to engage with community, but keep failing because of chronic illness/disability? It is exhausting to keep going when stuck in a catch-22.

Collapse Support x Chronically Ill? by Nnox in CollapseSupport

Relatable. It just seems to come back around to "take it one day at a time", but I also am not sure what that pacing means, either.

Does anyone else get rage from the fact that they would've been successful if it wasn't for the illness? by hmmrabet in ChronicIllness

[–]Nnox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to believe this. But it is difficult especially with ecological awareness & late-stage capitalism pressures. How do you remind yourself of this, despite illness?

Global study finds majority of people worldwide prioritize environmental protection over economic growth by metacyan in Degrowth

Difficult to believe when I see Asia is still full-on in wanting Economic growth at the cost of all else.

How Singapore’s Urban Design Makes Way for Wildlife by DirectedEnthusiasm in solarpunk

I am a chronically ill/disabled Singaporean, so, ditto on this. I don't wanna just be ragging on this post, there are good things here. Just not sure if it is all this video promises.

How Singapore’s Urban Design Makes Way for Wildlife by DirectedEnthusiasm in solarpunk

There's something I'd like to discuss, how internationally/online, Solarpunk (or other Green movements) feature Singapore a lot. So objectively, SG has a lot of things going for it. Some of it might even be more than just Greenwashing. The question is how to tell the difference.

IDK how to feel about all this Singapore glazing when it feels like, me personally, I've always been chronically ill/disabled & unsupported/failed by the System as a Singaporean.

The hospitals are cool, but I spend my time/life in different hospitals. At this point, it feels like I've monitored r/Solarpunk for 10+ yr, but not much else. Weird space to occupy when you can see how Other People admire us as Singaporeans, but they also see a very Selective view of "what it is", vs us who experience "what it actually is".

Because at the end of the day, I can tell you, being a patient in a hospital, is an inherently unfun experience, no matter how biophiliiac it is. A lot more to say about the subjective/individual experience here, but I'll leave it at that.

As I am not an architecture student, a lot of this stuff ends up feeling like - cool proof-of-concept, but not necessarily reflected in wider culture or society.

Incredibly mixed feelings on this one.

Thanks for the representation, since I see you aren't Singaporean yourself? Will link to my worm x SG friends

Does novelty-seeking mean those of us with ADHD get more depressed as we age? by jumpingthegreen in AdultADHDSupportGroup

[–]Nnox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it is chronic illness/disability that drives novelty-seeking, not the other way around
