I’ve decided to make a new rule: no posting negative news articles without a call to action or way to help. Many online queer communities (and ESPECIALLY trans, considering what’s been happening globally) are full of these articles. I get staying informed, and it’s important to an extent, but it also tanks our mental health to be constantly bombarded by them without any way to make things better.

There’s a place for those articles, but it’s not gonna be here.

Is this fair?

    Sounds like a good idea. There’s plenty communities that are very good sources of high quality doomposting, easily available from blahaj>Local.

    This community can very much be a place of safety, I think.

      A safe, educational, and supportive place for trans people is my vision for this community. Figured I wasn’t the only one who was affected negatively by doomposting being everywhere.
