we should never let sanism slide, no matter how common it is or how it’s integrated into so much modern vocabulary. if someone uses mental illness as an insult, let it irritate you. don’t get used to it, don’t let it be normal. be so annoying about it. be the one friend who is too woke because otherwise it can never end.
be annoyed when “delusional” is said as an insult. be annoyed when the words “narcissist” & “abuser” are used interchangeably. be annoyed when “psychotic” is used to mean “dangerous.”
this behavior is not cool & we need to stop letting it slide. get obnoxious.
