Harm/emotional discourse 

Something I've noticed a lot lately is that there's been a lot of folks navigating harm (to them) who are themselves causing harm as they navigate it

I hope awoo is a good place for this - but the latest thing that happened has left me questioning and wanting to do better

But y'all- and not just awoo.space- let's do good to try to recognize when someone is harmed even if it's bc of their subjective experience and not your fault- and help em heal if we can

This is actually kind of important to me, friends - if you have the spoons I would appreciate the read

Build the world you want to live in, right?

@vahnj I read it, and I was going to ask if there was a specific instance that happened with which somebody needed help. Then I figured that if you wanted to highlight specifics, you would have, so I... just sort of processed this as "uh-oh, something bad happened and I really hope everybody's okay, but I've clearly missed something bad and somebody's probably hurting right now."

@literorrery it's been more than one and I tried to let folks cool a little before trying to jump right into it
