When you tell me your name/pronouns, that's what I'll call you. If you previously used a different name/pronoun, that's in the past. If your name/pronouns change in the future, I'll adjust immediately. I'd be quite annoyed to be called Ensign Picard. Respect is easy when we care.

Tolerance for others is not the same as being their willing door mat. You are not required to silence your own needs as part of recognising and respecting someone else's.

Do not mistake the actions of abusive people as any sort of truth about you or how you ought to have been treated.

When gaslighters begin to worm their way into your mind, reach out to your real friends and ask them to remind you of the truth. Truth destroys gaslighting, even moreso with community-wide defences.

Never let a toxic positivity pusher dictate reality to you. Reality is sometimes awful and must be dealt with accordingly, not pretended away entirely.

Thank you for taking another trip around Earth's sun with me. I'm glad you're here and look forward to spending next year with you as well.

Diplomacy doesn't mean accepting or even tolerating nonsense. It means recognising nonsense for what it is and either working around it or refuting it as necessary.

Never allow anyone to silence you when you speak about that which you have endured. You will not change a silencer's mind, but it does wonders for others who are suffering the same to know they're not alone. It also makes it harder for the silencers to gaslight anyone.

Don't settle for being merely tolerated. Find groups where you are celebrated for your true self. I know that's not always easy but these things often take effort on everyone's part and that includes you.

When I advise you to keep your shields up, I am aware that doing so long-term is exhausting. Even yellow alert is tiresome after awhile. I sincerely hope you are able to find a space safe enough to let all of your guards down so you can get some rest.

I quite enjoy a secular Christmas, so Merry Christmas to all of you throughout time and space, or wishes for a lovely day for those who do not celebrate. May much kindness and peace come your way.

The point of embarrassment is to highlight a mistake so you won't repeat it. There’s little value in hanging onto any embarrassment that is no longer serving that purpose. Should you require it, I grant you permission to let go of discomfort from lessons you have learned.
