Happy Mental Health Awareness Bullshit Month!
Did you know that May is Mental Health Awareness Month?
Did you know that #itsokaytonotbeokay?
Did you know that some hot supermodel killed herself even though she was a hot supermodel?
Did you know that Ariana Grande speaks out to end the stigma around mental health?
Did you know that there’s a #youthmentalhealthcrisis in America? Probably other places, too, but who cares? AMERICA FIRST!
Did you know that #istsokaytonotbeokay?
Oh, shit, I already said that. That’s okay! Let’s #regram it again, for those in the back who haven’t already seen it regurgitated one thousand and sixty-seven times on every ineffectual, regurgitory #mentalhealth sm account!
Did you know that June is Jaded, Snarky-Ass Motherfucker Awareness Month? I’m celebrating early.
I’m sure I’m not the first person to opine thusly, but these #awareness months, weeks, days, leap-years cheapen what they’re supposed to elevate. I don’t think there’s a single soul who isn’t #aware of mental health, particularly during the pandemic. There are just people who give a shit about it, and people who don’t, and May isn’t going to change that for anybody.
