I received the following toots from anther Mastodon user yesterday. They knew they wanted the post to be seen but didn't feel confident posting it through their normal account.

The subtoots to this are their words, unedited.

Death is sad. Suicide is sad. The loss of a life is sad. However it is not something that can be diminished as a joke, as an inconsequential occurrence. Value life and value individuals. (It really is not a revolutionary concept.) Suicide is not funny, it is not a joke, and sure as hell nothing to be taken lightly.
