Y'all, this is a reminder to check in on your friends who are going through a hard time.

The friend who had someone close to them die.

The friend going through a divorce or breakup.

The friend who got laid off.

The friend who just can't catch a break.

It's easy to think you've done your job, checking in on these people for a week or so. But some grieving takes weeks. Months. Years. And those friends of yours are just sitting at home, alone, with nobody to talk to. Because they don't want to be a burden.

But they're still grieving.

Check in on your friends.

Feel free to boost.

@nuncio @MarkRuffalo I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.

First, we vote every year in the US. Off cycle elections are incredibly important right now, since almost all of these attacks are occurring at the state and local levels.

Second, many of us are writing to our congresspeople, speaking at legislative hearings, protesting, educating our friends and family, and working to make the lives of the bigots uncomfortable. We're making our voices heard now.

And we're reaching out to support the most vulnerable among us. Because suicide rates are going up because of this kind of stuff.

Acting now is absolutely necessary. Voting isn't the only way to stop this.

I would like to note that most anti-trans rhetoric is something along the lines of:

"Trans people can't have rights because cis people might abuse those rights."

@SymTrkl I keep a list. It's getting really long... ??
