The Platinum rule (treat people how they want to be treated) is in.
Support looks different for different people. This applies to communities too.
Instead of assuming what support looks like, just ask!
Naming files be like 'final final don't use any other ones even if they say that they are actually the final because this is the true final there can only be one.doc'

You have to stop tolerating unhealthy behaviors from people that repeatedly cause you to violate the boundaries you've established for yourself. When you do this, it disrupts the healing journey you began.

Sometimes you see people after a while and they spend a lot of time talking about how you don't meet often enough and ask why you don't see each other more and it makes you not want to meet again for a while.

Imagine the positive impact we can have on the world if we choose to reflect more than we judge, and to contribute more than we criticize.
A player collapses on the field and it takes the leadership a whole hour before stopping the game, even while teammates from both sides were devastated. This is why we need to reset how we do things. People over profits.
The shortest measure of time is the microsecond between when a child lays in their bed and when they come out of their room to say "I can't sleep."
There are some very knowledgeable curators of all things social impact and philanthropy that I follow. One of them is definitely @thecathyshow. The first Philanthropy Con Cafe newsletter is brilliant and the list of resources at the end is 🔥. Subscribe!

I get the cis women instinct to write toothless platitudes on the internet of the "if you are trans and alone this Xmas, I'm your mom now" variety. But that didn't do anything. What would be more helpful is:
🏳️⚧️ if you loudly proclaimed our humanity all year round;
When you receive a lot of charity campaign appeals as we approach year end, please remember that they're just trying to fund important work they are doing like increasing access to food, affordable housing, or providing social services.
If charities didn't ask, would you give? If that were actually true for everyone, we wouldn't need fundraising. But it isn't, so kindly just delete or unsubscribe instead of trashing all charities.
