    (TW for self harm and suicide)

    During the first Bush presidency I tried to kill myself, and obviously failed. I also engaged in a lot of self harm that I still carry the scars of today.

    You need community, and you need joy. Those can get you through almost anything. It will get you through plague and death and suffering.

    That doesn’t mean “just have a good time and ignore everything”, it means support the people who need you and take care of yourself as well, and reach out for help when you can’t.

      Hey I’m glad you’re still here. I’ve been there too in some ways and I know it’s hard for people to appreciate what it takes to make it out of that place.

    if people decide they don’t want to sit around to see how bad it gets, I think that should be up to them. I know this is what I’m considering.

      Then you should run, or hide, or fight. Giving republicans exactly what they want isn’t an option that leads to anything other than our eradication. Please, never, ever kill yourself 💖🌸💖🌸💖

        I get what you are saying and I do agree with you but I do wanna also say that it’s entirely up to the person if they want to kill themselves
