It is nearly universally useless to be told to "calm down" because that edict in and of itself rarely does anything to address why someone is upset in the first place. You are not required to obey emotional directives issued by people who are attempting to manipulate you for their convenience.

You can be experiencing real, valid suffering and someone else can be experiencing something worse with neither of you negating the other's truth or legitimacy in any way.

Others readily shift between self-definitions as they go home from work, dress up for events, and so on. You can too. Don't let systemic inequities pigeonhole you. Be yourself.

18/02/2026 Jean-Luc Picard @SpaceDadSupport Incoming Transmission... You deserve to be safe. You deserve to be loved. You deserve to be respected. It takes time and practice but you must learn how to use your shields to deflect anything that tells you otherwise. You are worth protecting.

Dear people of 2026: this still hasn't changed. People are still dying and being disabled by your ongoing pandemic. Vaccines are great but filtering masks are variant-proof.

Stop pretending it is. Reach out to those in danger.

If you cannot, you have my permission to add my voice alongside your inner voice but only to tell you wholesome things such as how I am always proud of you, how I know you've got this, and giving you permission to be your true self.

Indeed.

If diverse inclusion is truly that challenging for you, our most mundane of daily missions are well beyond your abilities.

Indeed, internal server error persists. This will have to do for today. We shall see if the good Doctor has the same problem momentarily.

Toxic positivity is victim blaming and I won't abide it anywhere under my command.

Even if you are denied your rights, they are still your rights. They are not gifts granted by benevolence; they are essential to your being. Always fight for them with that in mind.

I am glad you're here even when you're not at your best, even when you need help, even when you feel like you're failing, even when you imagine that nobody anywhere would want you around at all. I want you around. It is good that you are here. Please continue to be here.

They are mundane, common, and thus more insidious in their casual abuse of others. Never blame yourself for not being able to detect an abuser before they've made you another of their victims.

Learn to avoid the sunk cost fallacy trap and reinvest that time and energy into something useful. Sometimes merely changing the parameters of the original project is enough to find success.

As long as there is anybody left making exceptions as to why some people don't deserve some rights, we are all at risk. Demand it even louder for those most at risk.
