This week, to round out a year that has felt increasingly like an all-out assault on the senses, we spoke to Senior Vox Correspondent Rebecca Jennings about her article, 'Every "Chronically Online" Conversation is the same".
This was a really fun way to end the year! It's always nice to talk to people who also understand how broken communication online is.

Adhd discourse online drives me up a fucking wall. It makes anyone who actually struggles with it seem like the most obnoxious person on the planet. Someone I'm very close to, on the other hand, has autism and it's absurd how hostile our world is to people with autism; and it pisses her off how many people who may or may not have autism use their different brain as an excuse to be a dick. She loves to say "autistic people can be assholes but they're not assholes because they're autistic". Then she found out she has endo and we got to see how much worse it can get. In spite of how debilitating the disease is it's not categorized as something that requires disability services. She can't get out of bed and yet she can't stop working most of the time.

phoebes point at 25min or so wrt serious mental health issues is so well-made. as some1 w bipolar i've found it v disturbing to watch the kanye stuff unfold & see ppl allege that the vile stuff he's saying has nothing to do with his bp when it has EVERYTHING to do w it. if uve never experienced mania u cant understand how psychologically vulnerable u can be in that state esp if ur high enough 2b fully experiencing a break w reality. i count ms lucky i've not experienced that bc i know frm friends who have it is utterly terrifying. we cant meaningfully stand against antisemitism by this bizarre refusal to acknowledge that kanye is extremely unwell in a way that honestly for ppl w/o bipolar is hard to meaningfully conceive of.

Pile on top of that the fact that when he's not manic people tell him he's a god all the time... seems like a toxic mixture.

Yes, absolutely agreed. I'm very sorry for your friend - I also have chronic endo which is *still* thought of by a bunch of doctors as just having painful periods. I know there's been a push for it to be classified as a disability, but I'm not optimistic about that being helpful beyond further self categorisation since presumably it will still be basically impossible to get financial support for the times when it's severe enough you can't work (this is Phoebe answering in case it wasn't clear!)

Dang, Phoebe, I'm sorry to hear that you're going through it too. You might be right, I would like us to have moved past "it's just a bad period". Either way, I wish you solidarity and lots of naproxen in the new year.
