Peer support is suicide prevention. Listen without judgment. Believe what someone tells you. Let their needs change. Remind them they don’t have to figure everything out right now. And if you don’t know what to say, we’re here to listen. 💜 What to expect when you call: translifeline.org/hotline

i think literally no one is mad enough at cars. we just kinda ruined every aspect of modern life across the globe and will continue to have people killed for the sake of slightly faster transportation. if we weren’t a very sick people it would be everyone’s priority to reduce car dependence

Hey. Hey you. You know that feeling? The sense that there's something you want to say, that every sentence you reach for seems to miss something? Don't trust the sense of discouragement. It can be articulated and you can be the one to articulate it. Take it seriously as a challenge. Pin it down.
