Hey, could y'all please stick a CW on the racism PSA Posting [not necessarily like individual conversation, but the stuff you want boosted]?

It's not bad to talk about.
But it /is/ exhausting.
And a heads-up so we can prepare before being hit in the face with it would be much appreciated.

@viomi We're NOT ignoring it. That's like, the entire point.

We /want/ to be able to see it, but in order to see it, we have to be able to cope with it.

And CWs help immensely with that.

@viomi When it's one or two posts here and there, like it normally is, that's one thing. When it's an avalanche of /everyone/ talking about it – which is good! – then the CWs get more important because otherwise it's just. Too much. It's overload.

@viomi @IceWolf as a (white passing, mind - but still) mixed w/ Black trans woman: this ain't helping.
