I just checked the time and it's 03:33:33 AM. How wonderful

This is your reminder to check in on everyone. Not just the vulnerable ones. Not just the ones who show their feelings openly. Check in with all the people around you. Even the strong people. Even the happy people. Even the ones who say they're fine. So many things could be going on below the surface that you don't know about. Under that happy exterior that seems okay, they could be dealing with something very difficult. Open communication with them. Provide them a comfortable safe space within your friendship and company. The stronger people have feelings too. The strongest people need support too. Often it makes all the difference. You could make a difference for them.
It's also okay to not be okay. Whoever you are, you have feelings. You have very valid feelings. As hard as they can be to deal with, they are valid. It's okay to be struggling, and it's okay to talk about it. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to constantly be strong for everyone. It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to let someone in and show them how you truly feel. It's not shameful, it's not wrong, it's not bad or harmful. You're not broken, you're not invalid, you're not a burden. You are valid in feeling whatever you feel, and you deserve support through all of it. Read that as many times as you need to.
Whoever you are, if things are going well, I hope they continue doing so. And if you're struggling, I hope things become better for you. Sending positive vibes everywhere.

For all the people who insist on spamming my discord with 4+ messages at a time when just attempting to say hello... Congratulations you're obnoxious

Hey brain. If someone's trying to talk to me, the following things are not important or worthy of causing a distraction:
Daydreams
random, abrupt thoughts out of nowhere
Nonsensical ideas
What's going to happen in the near future
Past memories
Things that I've previously found fun or amusing
Trivial stuff from the past I haven't been able to explain

Please just let me focus. You can go crazy when I'm alone but you gotta stop doing it when I'm in a critical, focus intensive situation. Erg

As much as I talk about image descriptions, which yes, are very, very important, I'd also like to bring some light to describing audio posts. This is just as important as describing your images. There are people who aren't able to access your audio posts for any number of reasons. Yes, audio can sometimes be difficult to describe, just as images can I'm sure, but at least trying is good. There are many, many people on the fediverse who appreciate that immensely.

If a blind person, or any person with accessibility needs, tells you what they need, listen to them. It is absolutely rude in the worst way to either push things on them that they don't want, or restrict them from things they do need. Denying someone accessibility, or forcing measures on them, is so, so rude. If you haven't experienced the situation the person is in that makes them require accessibility, you have no idea what they're going through. Listen to disabled people. Listen to their needs. Give them what *They* request, not whatever you think is best.
