RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I'm not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.

I have empathy for lots of people even if we don't always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.

Here's why I feel the way I do. Because he said shit like this.

Here's the full article with all the things he has said.

Guessing the WMBA one was about Brittney Griner, who nobody liked, but you can see how he capitalized on that to push his agenda. Seriously, we traded someone who willing went to Russia for the war criminal that Lord of War was based off of.

I get why someone would but again I can't really rejoice. A human died, a man died, a man was assasinated while publically speaking. I can say that and I don't like that. I can't say a good man died though, that is for sure.

It's absolutely fine you feel that way. You feel what you feel.
