All right, folks. DMs open if you need to talk, even if you don't know me. All we've got is each other. Read your history and you'll see, time and again, resistance and survival depend on community. If you have others you can depend on, stick with them with every bit of strength you have. It's cliché, it's overused, but "united we stand, divided we fall" has so much history supporting it. Even just in the history of this disaster of a country, we see centuries of people in community resisting the most gruesome, inhuman things.
It's wrong to think we won't come out of this unchanged. We will not come out unchanged. We will not come out unscathed. There will be scars. Some will be terrible, and they will forever change who we are. But if we stick together, we will survive.
Again, DMs are open. I've already completely dissociated all my feelings away so if you still have them then I'd like to help you process them.
