I made a post on the #MetaDemon finally telling my story of betrayal and abuse to process trauma and my chronic attachment trauma

The result - my abuser who had been anonymous (except among my close friends who have witnessed part of the abuse) self disclosed and is threatening me

Such is the life of the #marginalized

I haven't been able to ask for #CommunityCare to stay housed as a result please help, we're very behind

$479 needed by 11 AM ET tomorrow

habe tbh gerade null energie, um mich über das merz'sche horrorkabinett aufzuregen und dann fällt mir wieder ein, dass es dafür eh noch genug gelegenheiten geben wird 🫠

falls es euch auch so geht, hier wieder mal der reminder: it's a marathon, not a sprint. und es ist auch völlig in ordnung, wenn nicht sogar die bessere strategie, sich auf einzelne themenbereiche zu konzentrieren, statt von der gesamten schrecklichkeit überfordern und dann ausbremsen zu lassen. #CommunityCare #DEPol #Merz

To make amends for not rallying today, I've made donations to the food bank & bail fund.

Still find it really odd that there isn't anything in my county today, but I guess there is the assumption that everyone would prefer to schlep up to DC for it.

I still can't do crowds and right now, I absolutely should NOT be walking around with a stick. So, community care it is.

Dans le cadre d'un projet-pilote, Wikimedia CH propose désormais un service de conseil juridique. Ce service s'adresse pour l’instant aux auteurs francophones de Suisse qui sont victimes de harcèlement ou d'autres attaques en rapport avec leurs contributions sur d'autres plateformes wiki. La décision d'admettre un cas à ce service dépend de plusieurs critères.

Accompanied my Mom to doctor's appointment this morning. This was mainly for getting another prescription for her recurring gout issue. She got a physical checkup too. Her doctor & his MOA were masked up. None of the other medical clinic staff & no other patients were masked.

Location of masking report: Burnside Medical Clinic - office in lower part of building - there's a different office with same name on main level.

Disabled people rely on social media for connection & companionship.

We might be housebound or bedbound & often have no one in real life who “gets it”

The unrelenting negativity of the news cycle takes a toll on us

If we unplug, we lose our support network. If we come online, we lose our spoons

I’m working on an article about how we can protect our online spaces (and spoons!) in the era of Trump.

How we can find ways to unplug without losing vital community.

Discover strategies for supporting one another in resistance efforts so we can all take breaks when we need to.

I’m working on ideas for resisting, networking & community building in ways that spare as many spoons as possible.

Ways to help people leave toxic social media and find safer online spaces.

I’m thinking about the role we can play in protests & resistance and how to get organizers to include us.

My own spoon deficit is slowing me down, so in the interim I’m going to share some articles from the Archive that I hope can help people rest, recharge and prepare to fight another day.

The first is about throwing away the guilt & harmful inner monologues and learning radical rest 🧵 1/3
