"i think something that doesnt get talked about enough is the way that being gay can put you in more dangerous situations with relationships. so many times gay people are just happy that someone is interested in them that there isnt as much consideration of if that person is good for them, because hey, at least they're gay too and that worries me a lot"
[admin note: this extends to not only queer relationships but also many other circumstances including but not limited to physical disabilities and mental illness]

socialization
"sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority"
and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you dont respect me i wont respect you" and they mean "if you wont treat me like an authority i wont treat you like a person"
and they think they're being fair but they arent, and its not okay"

mental health
"every person is different.
therefore, our burnouts are different, too
some need fresh air to recover
others need to be indoors
some need others
while others like to be alone
some seek professional options
while others confer within themselves
your burnout is unique
so your solution will be, too
take time to understand yourself and soon you'll find your way
burnout is a real thing, so please take care of your mental health"

due to unfortunate health circumstances, this channel will be paused, as admin is having a hard enough time surviving now, and will keep like that for an unknown amount of time
the health circumstance is physical in nature and is not something concerning, just very very inconvenient. it will pass, and this channel will go back to posting, but it is yet unknown when that will be
as of now, there is only one more scheduled post for this channel: tomorrow's post. after that, the hiatus will begin
be well, and take care of yourself

"im pretty ok with white nationalists never knowing a moment of peace.
"but what if that happened to you?"
that would be bad, because im not a white nationalist
"thats a double standard!"
it is, nazis should be treated worse than normal people
if you're fascist and antifascists come for you, you have a choice. you can give it up. you can go renounce what you said. you could just go on with the rest of your life and stop turning up at fascist rallies. antifascists probably arent going to buy you a pint and be your best friend but they'll move on. but if you're a person of color, if you're trans, or a person with a disability or gay or jewish, and fascists come for you, there is nothing you can do to make them happy except stop existing. if you're a political enemy of antifa, you can become a friend. if you're a political enemy of fascism, either they lose or you die"

thanks to all who in this two weeks of channel inactivity left messages akin to "take care and get better". there are too many messages to reply individually to all of them, but every single one is deeply appreciated.
thank you c:
may your night be restful and your day plentiful today, drink water, take your meds, and be well

since the link in the last post is apparently a conflicting matter for some, a morally easier alternative will be provided: here is a link to an animal shelter in Ukraine that is dealing with refugee cats rescued from the war, which is also in need of help (optimally, providing a home for the cats, but if that is not doable, then economic resources for cat food and similar matters will also be welcome). they got over 60 new cats this week and are currently overloaded.
