Comments

Haggis, she/her

[haggis]

Yes please.

Lots of things seem scary, lots of people I love feel fragile. I lost my religious faith and most of my belief in people's inherent goodness - the thing I cling to is a belief that we will do best by spreading kindness as widely as possible. (Spreading kindness is not incompatible with rage, anger and grief.)

hollymath, she/her

[cosmolinguist]

Oh look, it's me. :)

kaberett, they/them

[kaberett]

I am identifying and articulating and enforcing boundaries. I am finding ways to take care of myself that build community. I am facing up to a bunch of stuff that scares me, and doing it anyway, on a wide variety of fronts, and it's helping me believe that I can keep going and keep making a difference.

Hope in the dark of uncertainty, and that.

thebonesofferalletters, they/them

[rootsofthestories]

This would be nice, yes.

Even now, in this place where my brain feels like a heaping pile of rabid wolves, I appreciate the kindness of others and wish to spread good things myself. Thank you for doing this.

ses, they/them

[auntsarentgents]

Thank you for doing this.

I am mostly trying to focus on work, as creating output helps my branes.

shanaqui, they/them

[shanaqui]

My exam was awful, please love me.

zimena, she/her

[zimena]

Yes, please?

Thank you, kabarett, for doing this! May it be fun for everyone, and with lots of love to share.

[chiasmata]

Me please :)

El Staplador, she/her

[el_staplador]

Yes, please.

forests_of_fire, they/them or she/her

[worlds_of_smoke]

I could always use some love.

[redbird]

Me please.

Ludy she/her or they/them (it's complicated!)

[ludy]

Me, please.

My life has shrunk in recent years and i'm finding it hard to hold on to any sense of worth or hope.
I know that there is Beauty and Goodness in this world but sometimes it is very hard to connect with that.
I'm trying to keep on doing what I can do...

alexseanchai, they/them

[alexseanchai]

♥?

ewt, she/her

[ewt]

Yes please.

Steorra

[steorra]

Me please.

sasha_feather

[sasha_feather]

I am putting my name in! My pronouns are she/her.

pipisafoat/pip, sa or they

[pipisafoat]

send love (& baked goods) (& encouragement for slipping mental health, teaching a service dog new & difficult tasks, and appealing a disability denial) (& cute animal pics)

calliopes_pen

[calliopes_pen]

Me, please.

(Thank you for hosting this!)

Dreamers/DreamWriters aka dreamwriteremmy/dreamwriters; they are/them

[dreamwriteremmy]

Thank you for hosting this!

balsamandash, they/them

[balsamandash]

Love is always good.

Thank you for this.

Gehayi

[chanter1944]

I'm uncertain of their pronouns, but they darn well deserve some warm fuzzies.

Chanter_greenie, she/her

[chanter1944]

Throwing my own beanie in the ring. Feeling no little bit isolated lately, I admit. A lot, though not all, of that's distinctly on me and mental health not being spectacular.

silveradept (they/them)

[silveradept]

Things have gone on for far longer than they should have, and I am still picking up the pieces of myself that were shattered in its wake.

sfred (they/them or xe/hir)

[sfred]

Yes, please - even though the news is less awful than it might have been.

azurelunatic

[azurelunatic]

It's been an intense few weeks.
