the kids thing is paretic offensive given his daughter has made it clear williams' kids totally understood and were sympathetic of what their dad was going through. poor concern trolling from the man who wrote low self opinion imo

did anyone else watch the short video thor harris (from swans) made about depression and suicide? it was really good. i was annoyed with him for that blowhardy list he wrote about "how to live" but he is a tenderhearted person and i identified with a lot of what he said.

I rescreened Popeye this evening. One thing that doesn't get brought up much (if at all) is how well Williams handles the, er, Nilsson-ness of the musical material. He really captures the quirky touches/maker's marks.

heartless opinions about suicide victims are pretty common. glad rollins is getting dragged through the dirt for this.
that said, i think people sometimes adopt the attitudes rollings put forth in that essay as a way to talk themselves out of killing themselves. sort of like right wing rhetoric on "personal responsibility": as a personal mantra, it works great, but it's cruel to hold other people to that standard.
― Treeship, Saturday, 23 August 2014 06:04 (nine years ago) link
also it's probably cruel and toxic to your own psyche to try to whiteknuckle yourself out of suicide ideation. a more compassionate course is better. but anyone who has experienced that or knows people who have knows how scary it is, so it would make sense, in that case, to develop an ethos in which the act doesn't seem like an option...
― Treeship, Saturday, 23 August 2014 06:13 (nine years ago) link
Rollins' apology is really good, and no rote non-apology. It's worth a read, if only to get a sense that he genuinely seems to realise what he wrote was wrong, or to at least have genuinely been affected by the reaction to it.

Maybe I'm being too cynical about this (and still shaking with rage over his initial screed), but what the fuck did he think the reaction was going to be? How is he surprised by this?

the original essay doesn't really get THAT bad until the last few paragraphs - he's expressing emotions that may grate to the more informed beforehand, but not yet making self-contradictory edicts. as treeship suggests, there may have been a degree of him blurring the language that gets him through and language that would help others. throw in 30ish years of people hanging on his every thought, 30ish years of sharing his every thought, and a newspaper that would PREFER your thinkpiece be as provocative as possible, and i can see how he could be a little clueless.
not that i think it speaks well of him that he can to claim he respects someone's decision in the same paragraph he says he thinks less of the person for their decision.
