re: guns, mental health, suicide imp
@eidolocene yeah, it is unfortunately a very nuanced issue with so many moving parts that making any kind of sweeping judgement is impossible.
guns
not to mention i have a very very deep seated phobia of the things, ironically enough. lmao
guns, mental health, suicide imp
the new “arm minorities” movement is something i have been slowly coming around to as I have previously been very staunchly pro gun control across the board. i would even consider getting training myself if it werent for the fact that i have already been professionally diagnosed with a plethora of serious mental health conditions and i also do not think keeping a firearm in my home would be a wise decision all things considered
Having now been on #Mastodon for 1 month, a few observations:
- Mastodon makes me realize how much the #Twitter algorithm maximized user outrage to boost engagement for profit. Gross. Here, my feed is interesting & supportive.
- There's a culture of kindness - at least so far. It's extremely appealing & should be normalized on & offline.
- Beyond reactions to toots, people share songs, poetry & ask great questions. I can't remember the last time I found social media to be fun.
