My youngest's school is running a Wear It Green Day today as part of Mental Health Awareness Week.

Whenever things like this happen I can't help but think of the term INTERPASSIVITY.

Interpassivity, according to Žižek "deprives me of my own passivity" and Mark Fisher: "Performs our anti-capitalism for us".

Just another activity that makes people FEEL like they're doing something while changing NOTHING.

A few thoughts on #Interpassivity - such a fascinating idea: we outsource our emotional and intellectual engagement to others, experiencing life through their proxy rather than direct involvement.

Feeling a little called out as I multi-tasked while reading this (very, very good) article on #idlegames and #interpassivity (the likelihood of anyone using either hashtag is probably nil, but I’ll throw em out into the universe anyway)
