My name is Kris Goldsmith. I’m a U.S. Army veteran, a suicide attempt survivor, and someone who’s spent the last 18 years fighting for the lives of my fellow veterans. What you’re about to read isn’t an academic article—it’s a warning. I’ve seen firsthand what happens when the federal government abandons those who served. I lived it. And now, I’m watching a new administration recreate the very conditions that nearly killed me."

I'm thinking that what's happening around this is another aspect of the value system that's given us #RoboDebt, #InstitutionalisedChildAbuse, #ClimateChange, #ScottMorrison, #CovidFreedomMarches, a #HousingCrisis, #DomesticViolence, #DrugAbuse, #Suicide, and entrenched harassment, discrimination and bullying.
#AustralianValues aren't all they're cracked up to be. And are producing fair bit of misery.
Osaka police have arrested three people, including a self-proclaimed spiritual leader and fortune teller, on suspicion of inciting two men to kill themselves five years ago on a beach in Wakayama Prefecture. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/12/japan/crime-legal/arrests-suicide-inciting/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #crimelegal #japanesepolice #osaka #wakayama #suicide
Good, close-up look at Terrorgram's accelerationist grooming process, using the kid who attacked an LGBTQ+ bar in Bratislava, Slovakia, in 2022 as a kind of case study. (Apparently the authors of this article have been working on a Frontline doc about this stuff that will be out in a couple of weeks.) Worth reading.

And so in August 2019, Juraj Krajčík, then a soft-faced 16-year-old with a dense pile of brown hair, immersed himself in a loose collection of extremist chat groups and channels on the massive social media and messaging platform Telegram. This online community, which was dubbed Terrorgram, had a singular focus: inciting acts of white supremacist terrorism.
Over the next three years, Krajčík made hundreds — possibly thousands — of posts in Terrorgram chats and channels, where a handful of influential content creators steered the conversation toward violence. Day after day, post after post, these influencers cultivated Krajčík, who lived with his family in a comfortable apartment in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. They reinforced his hatreds, fine-tuned his beliefs and fed him tips, encouraging him to attack gay and Jewish people and political leaders and become, in their parlance, a “saint.”
On Oct. 12, 2022, Krajčík, armed with his father’s .45-caliber handgun, opened fire on three people sitting outside an LGBTQ+ bar in Bratislava, killing two and wounding the third before fleeing the scene.
I'm not even sure if the #music industry itself is dangerous - especially as construction and agricultural workers also have high #suicide rates - its more the #precarity of the work and income and that a fun/dream job can just disappear at any moment..

11-Year-Old Texas Girl Bullied Over Family's Immigration Status Takes Her Own Life
For the first time in about 7 years my daughter has had birthday wishes from real life humans she regards as friends. The fact that a few years ago she nearly abandoned this plane because it was unbearable to her gives me chills.
Hope exists kids. If you're out there hating what you are, who and *how* you are matters no matter what. Not all beautiful is life deep. Hold on. You just don't know what could be there waiting to accept you for who you are. And that includes the you who is just waiting for you to find the energy to care just about them.

She was Elisa Rae Shoup, the first person ever in the US to get officially recognized as non-binary. They briefly detransitioned from 2019-2022 and were exploited (their own word) by far right transphobes to attack transgender health care. They retransitioned after that. Now they're dead, driven to suicide by the country that hated and reviled them for being who they were.
