I received the following toots from anther Mastodon user yesterday. They knew they wanted the post to be seen but didn't feel confident posting it through their normal account.

The subtoots to this are their words, unedited.

I have spent weeks (yes I know…) debating what my first post should be, what I felt was worthy to be seen by all of you. The immeasurably talented and artistic community that I thrive to be a part of. Today, however something clicked after reading so much hate on my Facebook page that was seeped in shaming and judgement over such a tragic topic as suicide. I can not fathom why we still shame victims and presume to understand what is going on is someone else’s world.
