I'm trying to figure out, too

But I can control my emotions, and how I respond to them. I'm going to use this the way I used LJ in the past, and really focus on talking about my feelings. Maybe that will inspire my actions, maybe not.

Now to figure out how to edit these damn posts.

I’m not going to write some uplifting post on how we need to double down and fight back, as I would have done in the past on other platforms. I tried that and it didn't help. There are so many things going on right now that I cannot control.

He has his own clinic, and he received a bomb threat. His family began receiving threatening phone calls on their personal numbers.

You know what I really miss? Going to the library and getting a stack of books, all with those really thick paper and 14-pt font. I think that was the last time I could seriously turn off the world and just disappear to another world for a while.

Ppl say they want to join a movement and support the cause but when it comes down to attending meetings, completing tasks, etc there is no one to be found. What are the factors that prevent people from participating?What would make you more likely to join a movement and attend meetings?

Haha 😂

Eff you, 45. 1461 days.
