who would’ve thought it figures
that a 90s top 100 playlist would make me feel better about everything.
advice? TW E.D.
There is someone who I’ve been going on dates with who has an eating disorder…
She is very sweet, caring, and smart. I care about her but I’m too unsure to really want her. The day we met she experienced a crisis with her health. (lost consciousness, took a hard fall, went to the E.R., got stitches, etc) Its apparent that she has an e.d. … she’ll only eat a small amount of liquids & will always go to the bathroom shortly after… & she’s appears as though she may just disappear (so gaunt). She hasn’t talked about it & I really don’t know if its appropriate to bring it up as something to talk about.
I know hurt. I know self-hatred. I know feeling sickness. But I don’t know what it’s like to experience an eating disorder. I strive to always be sensitive, caring, & respectful.
I enjoy her company & her optimism & her visions & her interests. But I want for her to be alive & healthy & whole & happy.
I have a habit of making friends & romantic relationships with people whom I play the role of ‘supporter’. And it’s not healthy for me (triggers feelings related to emotionally manipulative parents). When emotionally involved, it benefits me at first to be a supporter & when I can’t ‘make’ people happy, I feel inadequate and extreme self-hatred…
is this possible to date her? & if so, how can I actively care for her & her health if I do decide to go on more dates?
Any advice/ suggestions from anyone but especially people on either end of the spectrum would be great (the supporter/ non e.d. partner/ friend and person experiencing the e.d.). I’m not an asshole & I respect this person, but I have no idea on how to proceed while also taking care of myself…

I think the problem is that many people in America think that racism is an attitude. And this is encouraged by the capitalist system. So they think that what people think is what makes them a racist. Racism is not an attitude.
If a white man wants to lynch me, that’s his problem. If he’s got the power to lynch me, that’s my problem. Racism is not a question of attitude; it’s a question of power.
Racism gets its power from capitalism. Thus, if you’re anti-racist, whether you know it or not, you must be anti-capitalist. The power for racism, the power for sexism, comes from capitalism, not an attitude.
You cannot be a racist without power. You cannot be a sexist without power. Even men who beat their wives get this power from the society which allows it, condones it, encourages it. One cannot be against racism, one cannot be against sexism, unless one is against capitalism.
Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture) answering a question about racism, sexism, and capitalism.
