Social Anxiety 

@Facet I'm glad you came to watch some *hug*

Social Anxiety 

@Facet *hug*
I especially understand that when faced with tumblr (and a lesser extent twitter) "purity culture"
I'm allowed to like things that aren't perfect, I know they aren't perfect, nothing is perfect

if anybody has leads on programming gigs (even smallish ones), i've been out of a job since October and my CV is at win.dlestra.ws/cv.html

it's been much longer than I would have hoped, so I figure this is worth a shot

Withdrawing socially is a common form of self-harm among people with #depression. Please keep an eye out for it and recognize that someone who pulls away when they're depressed won't necessarily want to keep that distance when the fugue ends.

Are there any people who have died who have a few moments to chat about their experiences before & after

@maple the idea being that grants and donations putting money in the pockets of poor queer kids can help in many circumstances but the same money can go further if we reduce the person in need's expenses and increase their income
so assign a case worker to each person who applies and work with them to access already-existing government services and programs
side effect is it's a lot cheaper to travel & survive on limited income with this kind of support so the ldr thing falls out naturally

@maple honestly I have already thought a lot about this and what kinds of things such an organization could do and how it would get funding
obvs I only have experience in the US, but it would help connect people to services (disability, food stamps, insurance, subsidized housing) and help with paperwork & appeals, help connect people to jobs, and when needed help pay travel & housing & medical costs

hrt, DIY, replies welcome? 

@maple yes
200mg a day is a recommended dose and you can go up to 300mg if needed
should be taken at night just before bed, same dosage every day (no cycling)

@maple Tetris with Cardcaptor Sakura: Eternal Heart (it's a puzzle game with stages, not a competitive tetris game)
Brave Fencer Musashi & Dewprism/Threads of Fate (lighthearted action-rpg platformers)
Klonoa (slow-paced 2.5D platformer)
Oddworld (puzzle-platformer)
Carnage Heart (robot programming game)
Umihara Kawase Shun (rubber-band grapple platformer)
Vib-Ribbon
Silent Hill
Puyo Puyo Sun, Puzzle Star Sweep, Magical Drop 3, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo

Contents of my bedside table 

I find it really funny that the shelf next to me has on it:
-a Nintendo Switch with a half dozen game cards
-a heavily bookmarked, dog-eared, and annotated copy of Capital
-some yuri manga
-a vibrator

It's difficult to help people when you're hundreds of miles away :(

Turns out it's a lot easier for me to concentrate with music and a timer going

It's difficult to think about things that are difficult
