What part of I care for multiple disabled family members and live in poverty did you miss? Yeah I can totally afford the financial upheaval of a strike or to get arrested or injured protesting. I’m sure my spouse can handle things without me.
I just hope the pseudotumor doesn’t act up and cause her to have a seizure at an unfortunate time. Or maybe it’ll be one of the ones where she temporarily loses a random chunk of her life and she won’t remember who they are or why she’s there that’d be fun.
not really that much of an exception. most queer folk deal with bullying trauma, neuro spicyness, and are much more prone to poverty due to work discrimination and shunning by families and neighbors. All of that tends to snowball, and most of us end up with chronic inflamation and/or anxiety disorders.

pew trust has some useful stats.
That’s my point though. None of the people who keep commenting these things seem to give any thought to the possibility that the person saying they’re scared might not be able to actively resist. It never seems to be “if you’re able, you could try A, B, C. If not, then X, Y, Z, might help you stay safe.” It always seems to come off as them saying “Oh, you’re scared? Fight back then lol.”
congrats: we have support roles.
pestering you elected reps helps more than it seems.
continuing to exist does spite the fasci agenda.
starting or supporting an interest club or mutual aid group locally with pro diversity moderation just to connect and build community does A LOT.
i can’t hit the street much anymore, but i can help neighbors and friends switch to FOSS, and i’m trying to put together enough garden in my limited space to undermine the grocery monopolies with fruit and seed sharing.
there are lots of support activities needing doing :)

I think we can both agree you’re quite an exception.
