the emphatic summary statement of problems being discussed is often missing from threaded conversations because it's controversial to the people who hate minorities and they report it a lot -- possibly even programmatically having it reported by bots on some people's accounts at this point
venting about depression & suicide
Fuck depression.
Fuck depression for ruining the lives of wonderful people in times of stress.
Fuck depression for leaving scars both mental and physical on so many.
Fuck depression for taking the lives of so many good people before their time.

For seeing suicide as intentionally selfish.
For voicing thousands of reasons to hate the depressed and berating those who love and care for them.
We must love and support each other... our freedom depends upon it!

you're a soft-spoken and forgetful expands-in-water dinosaur sponge in the distant, arid future
you're in a dessicated stasis when a still-running social markov bot posts 'meds reminder' to a media feed in your vicinity, spurring you to roll/waddle your way to all the nearest water sources to keep hydrated, lest you fall back into capsule stasis. you do this out of a desire to find the bot that reinvigorated your spirit and express your delicate, absorbent gratitude
worldviews, light world crappiness
Tend the empathy that connects us
The dreams that keep us moving forward
The whimsy and adventure that staves off closed mindedness
The hope that keeps us strong.
The mix of it all…
