 if you're gonna kill yourself anyway, might as well throw yourself at a cause
 you believe in. Ideally the kind that requires repeated attendance and lots of
 opportunities to make friends or forge communal bonds with people who can help
 you.
 
 honestly, what do you have to lose? sure it's hard, but nothing worth doing is
 easy. If it were, someone else would have done it already.

 If you're radical enough to consider yourself "antifa" then you are probably
 working as hard as you can. I wouldn't ask you to do more.
 
 We must demand that others work for our future as well. It is unreasonable to
 demand so much of us. We must be funded and supported if we are to mobilize,
 and we must have the freedom to move and organize if we are to contest our
 enemies.

 if you're meeting a friend from out of town the first time, it's best if they
 arrive early and you have the day off to show them around.
 
 or if they arrive late, you can meet them in a public place the next day and
 then spend time at your favorite spots.
 
 ideally, with people who would recognize you if the person from out of town
 decided to be hurtful and/or replace you.
 
 plus, that way you can gauge their character
 
 and decide whether or not you want them in your own home.
 
 they might be different than they are online, after all.

 it's good to be ethical,
 it's good to be kind,
 
 but there will always be assholes,
 and sometimes you're not having a good time
 
 it's okay
 it's fine
 
 assholes deserve life
 times deserve others to be kind
 
 life is not always interesting
 and that's often by design
 
 the moments of clarity,
 the moments of heart,
 
 these are what define you
 and display your own spark.
 
 trust in yourself.
 be kind to one another.
 
 you are braver than you know,
 and always a bit wiser.

 to be "rich" is to have more than another.
 
 if you are happy, they are happiness poor.
 if you have community, they are alone.
 if you have serenity, they are chaotic.
 
 I am rich in very little but fire in my soul.
 
 I have enough in most cases, but I still struggle to pay rent.
 
 I am warmed by the pearl my swirling darkness has coalesced into. It nourishes
 me and keeps me aligned.
 
 Never forget your purpose and your truth. It will not abandon you, so long as
