Hey, hi, hello. Just a quick reminder. You are under an EXCESSIVE amount of stress right now. Even if no-one you know is sick. Even if everyone you know still has a job. Even if your everyday life hasn't changed all that much. I mean a truly OUTRAGEOUS amount of stress.

All you can do is your best on any given day. And right now, your best probably looks different than it did in, say, January. That's ok. Be kind to yourself. Be patient with yourself. This isn't about thriving, it's about surviving. Getting through *waves arm* all this.

Here’s the thing people who’ve not been abused need to understand: abusers convinced their victims that there is a map through the minefield, and if they’d just learn it, they wouldn’t get hurt anymore. And then life would be sooooo perfect. So victims try to learn the map.

When I saw the new Star Wars trailer, I cried. Not because I love Star Wars, though I do. But because “every generation has a hero,” and for a whole generation of girls, that hero is Rey. A lot of you won’t understand why that’s meaningful. The rest understand why I cried.

No, banning slurs in an online game won’t end racism or homophobia. But it might make people who have no qualms about slinging them feel unwelcome, and I’m fine with that. Get some goddamn manners. You can trash talk without resorting to slurs, I promise.
