so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what
And before you get mad, I do have a chronic illness, some mental diagnoses I’m being treated for, and I’m also LGBT+.
I need you to imagine I’m sitting down with you and not attacking our own community when I say this. For our own mental health, we gotta stop getting mad at every little slip up, or mistake that someone who doesn’t understand our struggles make.
We can’t assume everyone is going to understand us, or know what we need for accommodations right off the bat.
Now I’m not saying you can’t get frustrated or vent to friends about how annoying it is. But we can’t be making a community based off immidiate hatred for people asking questions and genuinely trying to understand our struggles.
If they genuinely are making fun of us for no reason, or don’t want to change their ways to understand,
We have a right to be pissed off and lash out.
But if someone is genuinely and respectfully taking the time to listen to us, and then they ask a silly or offensive question on accident,
We need to let them know in a just as respectful way. We don’t want them to be scared of us right off the bat. If we make that our brand, then they’ll never want to hear us out. They’re people just like us, and they do have a chance to understand and change. We just need to give them that chance.
Give them time to apologize and change into a less threatening person to minorities. Because if we want a community that understands us, we need to help them understand us. We can’t expect every person in the world to do research into every disability, mental illness, or identity. Sometimes we need to be their source.
Only if they’re being respectful about it though - jot that down. If they’re taking away our accommodations for their own needs, or mocking us, then that’s when we need to draw the line.
there is a new sex trafficking method of sending women these texts (and these aren’t other people’s screenshots, these are texts that were sent to ME):
if you receive this kind of text, block the number immediately and do NOT click on the link. it leads to websites that give you the ability to “track your package,” when in reality, it is YOUR location being tracked.
i myself almost fell for this and i luckily called my apartment’s leasing office to check if i had any packages i never picked up and they said no.
spread this please because i’ve seen a LOT of others say they’ve received these kinds of texts, so there’s likely to be more who are unaware it’s a scam.
this is what i do to escape reality

TO UKRAINIAN FRIENDS
If you are looking for an emergency exit from Ukraine, Poland will open EIGHT safety points on the border with Ukraine (you will get warm food, medical help and from there you will be guided to safety) in two of our voivodeships: lubuskie and podkarpackie. It is confirmed by the Polish Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Paweł Szefernaker.
