Not just a healthy community where you can walk outside and see friendly faces, but you have to know people. Whether that's achieved through some kind of revolutionary vanguard party or whatever, or just... being together and learning and growing to sing one lifetime of song, either way we need each other. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2595 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: re: politics-fascism-sexual-assault-mentioned │ │ ║ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ They will say they're "off their psych meds" yeah, okay, but a diagnosis and │ ║ prescription is trivial for a doctor to write. │ ║ │ ║ They are paid about 35$ per hour. │ ║ │ ║ They have 2 week shifts "vacations" where they are transferred to a city with a │ ║ person they could reasonably impersonate where they act for a while. │ ║ │ ║ (I know this because one of them replaced a homeless man I knew who had like, 3 │ ║ teeth total, and then a few days later a man who looked similar acted as if he │ ║ knew me. He had perfect teeth.) │ ║ │ ║ They have a PO box where they can receive useful items for their disruptive │ ║ activities. Hammers, spray-paint, whatever. │ ║ │ ║ They don't carry any money. No wallet, identification, or anything, so if they │ ║ get picked up by emergency response services then there's not much they can do │ ║ besides try and stabilize them before letting them loose. │ ║ │ ║ Some of them have "long-term shifts" where they work with children or the │ ║ elderly over months or years. It's just as fucked as you imagine. │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2596 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: politics-fascism-sexual-assault-mentioned │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ I get it. I don't care to live in a world like this. Consider this a suicide note, though I will not die by my own hand. This I swear. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2597 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: politics-fascism-sexual-assault-mentioned │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ oh, also, he definitely knew me.

I'm stronger than him. Thanks. I'm about to go chat with a friend, maybe ttyl if I'm still broken up about it. ❤️ ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2599 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── the best way to heal from harm and from hurt is with a friend or three around a table with a beer or three and relative safety and privacy. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2600 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── @user-1268 it's important to ask whether the actions of your allies is valuable or impactful in some way. otherwise your team falls prey to the placement of "bait" which causes you to assume that the direction of attack is under control. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
