This place is threatened by the new, unclear laws. Very few people here would want to provide IDs just to have a safe space to vent, and even less of us would be willing to give up our anonymity to continue having a community (WhatsApp, telegram, signal, even texting).

It will only further our disconnection from a wholesome safe space. While I do have a few people blocked on this thread, I come here for safety, for connection, and to be kind to those of us who need that. We are all human, and humans are social animals, for the gubmint to take away our anonymity is to deny humans the social connections they require to maintain a semblance of stable mental health.

It’s fucked up, the world, the government, the companies that seem intent on dividing us and removing our empathy to prevent us from organising and protesting. If we are too busy arguing with each other, then we cannot organise ourselves against the true evils of this world.

I don’t have much to say to provide hope in these dark times, as I also feel the weight of the world and the fears they ellicit. But for now, we still have each other, and that’s what I’m focusing on.
