Basic Fucking Kindness

invisible problems, chronic illness, mental health, self compassion "its never too late to start recovery and not too early either. you are never "not sick enough" to start recovery"

socialization, mental health, invisible problems "i think that at this point. at this point of things. you can pretty safely assume that almost no one is doing well, so instead of being a real shitlord about tiny problems, maybe instead go out of your way to be kinder and more patient to everyone around you or at least fucking fake it or at least just be quiet [...] IF YOU CANT BE KIND, BE QUIET"

transphobia, lgtb, discrimination "advanced biology"

unscheduled post: after a lot of consideration, the admin of this channel has made a choice. from now on, the chat/comments secion will have a stronger moderation policy up until now, the policy was "if you have done nothing wrong in this channel and you dont make others uncomfortable, you can stay. everybody deserves a chance to grow and heal" from now on, the policy will be "if you have been caught expressing bad takes, bigotry, or being problematic enough in other telegram chats, you wont be allowed to participate in the comments section/chat" this was originally going to be a poll rather than a statement, but on second thought, it should not be. take notice that this does not mean anybody will be banned from the channel. they will be banned only from the chat. this is going to be a not-looking-back change. this channel has a dangerous mix of people looking for redemption but not quite there yet, who may be on their path to heal but are still potentially damaging; and extremely vulnerable people. postponing this further, and postponing it this much already, is either risky or dangerous. a safe space as fragile as glass is no good safe space if you find yourself being banned and want to appeal, take into consideration: -investigating each ban can be a 3-4 days long task, depending on the case -admin has very very little spoons to spare -a not small number of people will be banned at first, essentially "collapsing the system" for those and some more reasons, part if not most of the "why did i get banned?" and "why did this person get banned?" will go unanswered be well

disabilities, cyberpunk, capitalism "every time someone starts telling that they wanna supplement their body with computer parts im just like okay great but dont cry to me when your memories of loved ones or your ability to run are locked behind paywalls [...]cochlear implants[...] cyberpunk dystopia is already here for the disabled i want all the abled people reading this to goprice check a power wheel chair"

unscheduled post: remember to drink water :)

socialization "the world is not kind that is why we must be kind in its place"

borderline, mental illness "i think one of the worst symptoms of bpd is the lack of emotional permeance [permanence]"

socialization "before you argue with someone, ask yourself, is that person even mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of different perspectives? because if not, there is absolutely no point"

mental health, parenting, society "if you suffered in life and want other people to suffer as you did because "you turned out fine," you did not in fact turn out fine"

intimacy, socialization, relationships, mental health, lgbt (aro/ace), society "no offence but i think a lot of us me included dont actually want romantic love as bad as we think and really are just lonely and crave closeness and intimacy that feels out of reach in friendships"

abuse, relationships, socialization, mental health "victims of abuse be like, this person has now made me cry myself to sleep about 30 times [...] but maybe that's just me"

language, words, abuse "what is gaslighting? when someone intentionally twists your perception of reality for their own gain"

disabilities, invisible problems, mental health " "im not disabledbut i feel like i can relate to your disability content[...]" a disability is defined as any medical condition that impacts your ability to function and/or interact with the world around you [...] please dont deprive yourself of community (and accommodations!!) because you're worried that you're not "disabled enough" "

chronic pain, disabilities, invisible problems "i love to use my disability "as an excuse." Fuck yeah my disability is an excuse. its the most valid excuse i have."

abortion, rights, society, oppression "it doesnt matter. it doesnt matter when life begins. [...] nobody has the right to use your body against your will, even to save their life, or the life of another person"

society, abuse, school, parenting "children dont need to earn their humanity. children arent humans in training, they are humans right now"

self compassion, rest "remember: resting isnt transactional. you dont need to do anything special or extra difficult to deserve a break"

lgtb, self compassion, socialization, mental health "literally hate how lgbtq ppl are constantly asking "am i valid?" "is this a valid way to be?" every 5 seconds. girl idk what to tell you but if you live your life seeking validation from others your self-image will always exist at their mercy. you gotta get some self-respect and stop begging others to validate you"

labels, neurodivergency "PSA from the actual coiner of "neurodivergent" [...] a person can have a different yet fucking perfect dammit brain [...] Neurodivergent just means a brain that diverges"
