    Do you want to see people suffering? Because that’s fucked up.

      The bare minimum you can do is listen when someone is in pain and stand witness when they are under attack. I want to see when people are suffering, so I can figure out how to help, or at very least show solidarity. Obviously I can’t take this in at all hours of every day, but that’s time I spend alone or with an IRL friend, not on an online messaging board.

        Other way round for me, my IRL time contains the serious shit, I come online for escapism
