Oh man. I'm sorry. Being online makes it real easy for ppl to be assholes without accountability.
I really try to limit my time on apps in general, I don't want to disengage but I get overwhelmed quickly.

I really appreciate your posts, it's stuff I care about that would not be on my radar otherwise.
But I absolutely recognize your feelings. Do what you need to do to take care of yourself.

I loaf this

Holy shit that's amazing 💙

Anyway, sorry if I'm doing this thread/reply thing all wrong, I am still figuring this app out (never did figure out the Meta shit). But wanted you to know I read and appreciate your posts here.

(I am not including *you* in that "we," to be clear.)

And we can't get overwhelmed and drown in the urgency of the need to FIX EVERYTHING that is being broken.

My 84-year-old mom was depressed enough to call a crisis hotline after seeing a lifetime of activism get wiped out in three weeks. I told her she has to check out for a while.

You've been on my mind these past weeks. I think we all feel powerless, but we can't let that feeling turn into self-pity and turn a blind eye to those who are most vulnerable to this torrent of shit.
