Summary

Happy Tasha's birthday, everyone! Also, the Fourth of July, we guess. Why don't we talk about the controversial fight for the American people's right to their bodies and lives!? This episode has every-ding-dang-star-spangled-thing: the incomprable Marlee Matlin, Tasha's a city planner, Munch shares a tragic backstory, Benny's Burberry theory and other dumb made up leads, the wild story of Jack Kevorkian - we can't stop this episode, ya'll. Patreon has over 30 extra minutes!! Check it out! But genuinely, we take the subject of suicide very seriously. We never want to confuse our desire to normalize these subjects with being flippant about them. If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide, please first consider reaching out to a trusted person or call the suicide lifeline.

0:00.0	Okay. Welcome to SvU Pod, especially heinous. I'm Gabe. I'm Tasha. We're on season five, episode 22,
0:22.7	Painless. You know, I've heard a lot of people saying unaliving, and I don't know if the terms
0:27.0	have changed from suicide. I thought about that too. And I don't know, I don't know if they say
0:31.8	unaliving because you're not allowed to say suicide on like social media. Is that a thing?
0:37.0	Yeah. TikTok monitors that stuff especially
0:40.1	hard. I mean, probably other things, but that's where I've heard that use the most. I've heard
0:44.3	them change committing suicide to death by suicide because committing is like-
0:50.4	I don't know a whole lot about the language around it and how it's evolved or changed or anything.
0:55.9	Okay. These changes have been done to reduce the stigma that suicide can cause. We strongly urge that if you're helping others and involved in suicide prevention to use the below suicide language. The words commit and committed may imply that an act is criminal or maybe looked at as a mortal sin in many religions.
1:12.7	The use of the word completed can imply that an act has been accomplished or successful,
1:17.8	often sending the message that suicide is a task to be accomplished.
1:21.3	The litmus test for talking about suicide is to substitute the word cancer for the word suicide
1:25.5	to see if the sentence still makes sense or if it has a negative connotation. We wouldn't say committed cancer or successful cancer.
1:32.2	We would simply say cancer, death, or died of cancer. Thus, when it comes to suicide, we should say
1:36.6	suicide death or died of suicide. Okay. We don't say successful or unsuccessful. We just use
1:42.2	died by suicide or suicide attempt for someone who has attempted.
1:47.0	Yeah. And this is all on Suicide Prevention Alliance.org. Okay. This is the first episode upon
1:53.4	Tasha's arrival from Hawaii. Ah, yes. Yeah. We are recording an episode that we were supposed to record
2:00.6	last week.
2:01.2	I'm working on the editing of that friendship boat right now.
2:03.6	That's going to come out the same day this comes out.
2:05.8	But I talk about the trip a little bit and how Gabe tried to be a good friend and I was a bitch about it.
