SOCIAL MEDIA IS A COP.

DON'T SNITCH ON YOURSELF.

DON'T POST ANYTHING THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED PREMEDITATION.

WE'RE ALL MAD.

STAY FREE.

STAY ALIVE.

Happy to see more and more friends here. Deactivated at the other place. It isn’t that I want to be insulated from the brutal reality of the news but I need some space to process when I hear about the daily horrors.

Not being sarcastic. The constant flood of information about preventable tragedies derails me to the point of not being able to act or help anyone.

I know we’re always under threat but it’s hard to watch the timeline of pain after horrific events.

I’m beginning to see quite a few “this is a positive space, there is no place for negativity here” style posts (especially by newer folks) so I want to hopefully clear something up:

This is also a space to be protected. From fascists, bigots, etc., and also from corporate capture (unless you want to watch it turn into what the greater web turned into. Some of us lived through that once. Would be nice not to again.) Opposing such things—and vocally if need be—is not a negative; it is a positive.
