I like art and being nice to people on the internet. At least most of the time. My previous account was Cris_Color before changing instances
Queer, gender-messy twink. Into crafts. Learning how to care for plants. Nerdy about fish and aquariums.
I use home automation to help manage a disability and have been meaning to move to home assistant but right now I’m still using google home devices…
Guess that means I have to move up my schedule. Really wish I did this before the ai hardware price spike like I was considering doing.
Can’t wait to go see if thin client or needed components will cost me a billion dollars. ALSO BECAUSE OF AI. Fucking stupid horseshit, I have no money
That is not a particularly helpful way to engage with someone explaining what someone put them through.
If she did it doesnt seem like it would have done much to someone in his position, and may have carried risk for her. She doesnt owe us an explanation of how she handled things, regardless of how she navigated it or how it went.
In general when someone is explaining how they were harmed its generally not helpful to intergogate whether they handled it “correctly”. Being a victim or being in a position in life where it is easier for you to be a victim rarely leaves you with many good options, or makes it easy to do things the “right” way
I absolutely agree, I am also a leftist but constantly stewing in political news isn’t good for your head, or even in a practical sense good for your ability to go actually get involved in stuff outside. You have to take care of yourself if you want emotional energy with which to do any real political labor
I wish we could come up with some collective strategy to create better balance cause this platform tends to share politics as common ground, and with not many people here that means a lot of what gets posted and engaged with is all just news and politics.
And yes, I know everything is political. AND, you need to be able to step away from the politics of the world and catch your breath and be mentally well. Any one thing dominating your time and emotional energy can become unhealthy quickly, especially when its all bad news or small victories that remind you of the broken bigger picture.
Balance is important. I’m thinking about creating a seperate account and blocking all the political communities and filtering by keywords so I can just be here for hobbies and folks chatting when I want that
Thank you for explaining!
Thanks! Meant to come back and give it a read so I could learn specifics but really didn’t wanna try to wade through stressful stuff right now
Though my trust it will stay that way is not super high 😅
