This week has been a lot. 😓idk how we're supposed to carry on like normal. Feels almost like we shouldn't because things are far from fucking normal. But I don't want bigots to succeed in paralyzing us with fear. We need to persevere and carry on together. At least, that's what I've needed to hear. - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

Its pretty fucking dispairful. I was just getting around to living my trans life when this shit dropped. This is probably gonna be one of the few times I even mention Im trans either cuz it doesnt feel safe anymore.

I'll be vague because I'm in the process of questioning things myself, but I deeply empathize. 💔 Do what you feel you need to so you're safe, but please don't give in to despair. Keep fighting for your happiness and joy as you can, cause it's your goddamn right and they can't take that from you.

Im just worried how far this shit is gonna go and if I'm gonna have to hide from the american gestapo squads before too long.

I'm really, really hoping it doesn't come to that. I want to believe it won't. But I'm too aware of historical patterns and the terrifying times we're in to pretend the possibility of it happening is 0%. That's why we will need each other to survive should the worst case scenario happen.

Yeah... Im gonna make survival plans like it might happen. Thats the only thing that brings me comfort in this situation rn.

Yeah it’s been odd, I always wondered what I’d do if Hitler was alive today and one thing I learned is that is part of the doing is to know when to check out than tag back in to fight fascism

It’s as much a mental battle as it is physical🙏

Take good care of yourself 🫡

Been feeling helpless, like there's nothing I can do. There's a lot going on in my real life I don't talk about. But I want to do what I can.

And I know my streams bring comfort to those in my community. If making sure my community is happy and safe is what I can do... then that's what I will do. 💗

But this is a heads up that I want to be more outspoken here. I don't want bigots to ever feel welcome in my spaces. They can fix their hearts or die.

I'm still shy about posting at all and not great with character limits, but know I don't want to be silent in the face of evil. That's how they win.

We'll hear this Lethal! Mark my words, this isn't the end or even a type of ending. This is a start of something, but we're not done yet, and we'll never quit. Trust me. This? This isn't going anywhere. And neither are we ✨💪🏾
