@ShugoWah@snouts.online every time i look at your icon i can't get over how cute it is

still want to commission you for one--would you be open to that?

"Surname? Oh, no, that's my ma'amname."

kinda worried about the shapeshifter system honestly

haven't seen them anywhere online in over a week (i think? time is weird)

so after talking with @Hi_cial@snouts.online and another friend (who i think would rather stay anonymous) about this, and taking a while to eat lunch and take a break, i think i've come to realize that I was in the wrong, and also that the things we would want CW'd (i.e. details about violence and/or death) are in fact getting CW'd anyway--the stuff people are talking about is in fact just whether black people should be expected to cw their experiences as black people, which is never what we wanted a cw for

anyone else who wants to is welcome to read the discussion below, I feel like Cial explained pretty well where I was wrong and maybe reading his stuff would help others understand too

"You see, during this period people believed strongly in organizing around what they called "countries", which were basically collections of people living in a certain area. One of the major countries in the 20th and 21st centuries was called "the United States", and it was a terrible place of corrupt leaders and inequality. It started to collapse in the latter half of the 20th century, then finally fell apart starting with the second BLM protests in 2020. It was completely dissolved by 2030."

it occurs to me that we are probably living through the fall of the american empire right now

i wish it had fallen ages ago, but if not then, now is a good substitute

the world is very hard right now and i am very small

i don't know how to handle conflict, i don't knwo how to help people, i just don't know anything

just feeling really overwhelmed lately

i want to be able to help but i can't

don't have any income now so can't donate more than we already have, and can't do anything to go help in person since we don't know of any protests around us or how to find any

like, we're not black. we can't fully understand what it's like to be black. but i want to be able to read things and help where we can and not having cws is eventually going to lead to us needing to mute stuff so we don't go into a depression/panic spiral

i don't know what the right answer is here

this is an actual question by the way. i want to know if i'm in the wrong here so that i can not be if i am

am I in the wrong to want cws for our own mental health, even if we do open almost every one?

just, not being given a chance to mentally prepare for stuff, and not being able to close it after reading, makes it way harder on us

we still read the stuff. but it's wearing on our mental health and i really do *not* want to have to use keyword mutes

i want to retain our ability to engage with this stuff

i want to have cws not to silence people but so that we *don't have to* silence people

.

why does asus have to ruin perfectly good things with their "republic of gamers" branding

@Galuade@snouts.online was right, this keyswitch sampler thingy is a good stim toy

at room temperature, oxygen and nitrogen are

i can take or leave the roman deity though

"the planet or the element?"

yes
