While holding 85+% of the wealth? Yes please. Tax the rich

Can’t speak about alcoholism personally, but reading memoirs from other people with narcissistic and abusive parents was affirming on some levels for me for sure. That said, pay attention to how you feel though. Sometimes that stuff can be triggering too 💜

Woo for co-workers who pay attention and give a crap \o/

I wanna underline what they said for you @zeoxys.bsky.social : Our people noticing when we are not well means we are being seen.

It’s okay to not be okay. People noticing you aren’t okay means you have a support system; use it. Love ya, buddy 💛

I get that. A thing you don’t control and a place you get graded on top of everything else, blergh. I hope you find the right way through for you, even if it doesn’t look like anyone else’s. 💛

Clearly not solutions to *gestures vaguely* obv, but ya work with whatcha got, eh?

Anything you think you might be able to give yourself to help you de-stress? (Examples that help me when I Cannot™️ include but are not limited to Floor Time™️, Epsom salt foot soaks, a weighted blanket, white noise/rain sounds on NC headphones, getting a friend to literally sit on my back)

Buh. Sounds overwhelming, friend 🙁

4/3 (Sue me lol) also I quit scrolling on TikTok and started watching PBS News Hour for news instead. Watching other people be freak out and joke about everything like ‘lul guess I’ll die’ was making me anxious.

Seeing ppl organize locally helps even if I can’t join cuz SOMEONE is doing SOMETHING

3/3 but doing that these last 2 weeks and using 5calls.org to make calls to reps makes me feel a little less..stuck..for lack of a better word.
Also fantasy novels and cats.

2/ it’s not really less scary but feeling like I’m *doing* something positive and taking (even small) stands for stuff..idk it’s practice for when it gets harder and feels good to help.

[I recognize that I’m a white queer person with a ton of privilege. This is not a “do more” soapbox]

1/ I’m terrified, but I’m doing my best to use that as a driver for getting involved. Made some connections with a local group doing mutual aid work and protesting etc. (it’s a discord group where folks post things they’re planning/want to do for the community and ppl help
