SituationCake@aussie.zone āØ1ā© āØweekā© agoUS politics is terrifying. All my life so far I have felt positive about social progress, eg gay marriage, more inclusivity, less racism, sexism etc. To see it go backwards is hard to watch. Really alarming. But, I do have hope. Social media and the internet is an amazing resource to marginalised groups, and even though meta might be censoring, I am hopeful and confident people will still find ways to connect. Meta donāt have the power they think they do. The internet is a very big place. (Also, itās always prudent to ensure you are using appropriate and reliable contraception. Prevention is better than cure regardless of the political landscape)

It is. I try to avoid focusing on USpol because itās too much and thereās nothing I can do, thereās been an absolute gish gallop of bad bills and culture wars. But American culture and laws affect Australia and itās getting harder to ignore.
Of course. Iām talking about being more vigilant than usual and perhaps changing over to a long acting (or even permanent) method juuuust in case.
