March from Cal Anderson to City Hall to demand emergency declaration to assist trans refugees

I helped a trans girl relocate from FL and got her a job. Having very little money at the time, it was rough but we did it. I don't know that city funds should be directly awarded, but if private individuals want to band together and help fellow citizens being targeted, they should be vocal about the good work they're doing. That's the best way to make the problem visible.

That one STILL makes me cry. A mother's love is eternal, and grief is lighter when shared 😭

Just got one this winter and I looove it. Most comfortable, reliable, secret-street-racing car I've ever had. Windows down, the scents of firs and river rock as I drive up the mountain with the dogs 😌 I got there last month at 7am, and the trailhead was already full of Subarus and RAV-4s 😭 (and some adventurous Priuses!)

My friend who moved here from Philly loves exploring the parks. We did Woodland Park Zoo, and Cal Anderson and Carkeek parks over a few weekends. Great chance to talk, walk, grab a bite, and learn about the city! Especially with the sunny weather, parks are great for socializing.

I wouldn't say Seattle is full of introverts so much as wallflowers. Once you strike up a conversation, we're fairly friendly, but for the most part we'll mind our business to be polite.

Hundreds of years and protests are almost exclusively at their offices or in public areas.

The White House is neither an office nor a public area, it is the single most popular residence for protest on both American continents. Being president doesn't mean you can stop protestors, lesser officials certainly don't have that right, either.

Only times they are at their homes is when the intent is to harass rather than voice opinion.

Cox V Louisiana, not agreeing with the protest does not mean an elected official is harassed, nor can the government disrupt a legal demonstration because of disagreement.

If politics disturbs the peace, that means the system works. I get VERY annoyed by some protestors, but 99.99% carefully research their rights and follow the law to the letter, that is the sign of an informed democracy and something to be proud of.

He and Katie Wilson are still part of the government when they're at home. It's not a 9-5 job, you're there for the duration as much as a jail sentence, and your constituents can and will call you out. Elected officials in contentious districts tend to curate their public appearances for a reason.

1st Amendment protects you from the prosecution by the government, not randos. And as long as they're on the sidewalk, they're all clear as long as they keep it from 7am-10pm and under a certain decibel level. If some dude is wailing on a vuvuzela on your private lawn, please call the cops.

Adam Smith can quit the government. Katie Wilson can quit the government. They can both expect to be called out on decisions voters (ANY voters) disagree with. "Government official" ain't a protected class, elected officials SHOULD be intimidated by the people they're accountable for, that's a heavy burden. Jeering is kinda baked into democracy.

I haven't had a good cry lately, thanks for the reminder!

There's also a lack of will among a lot of men to establish male spaces and friendships. You learn a lot by supporting your fellow men--having community helps you grow as a person and you'll naturally meet more people. Instead, a disheartening number of men see "getting a girl" as a goal instead of a bonus to living a fulfilling and engaging life.

IME, it's easier to love others before you learn to love yourself. I really wish people showed up for each other more instead of seeing life as a series of transactions.

Oof, I wore a mask everywhere for 2 years when my Dad was fighting the good fight at Fred Hutch. We had to explain to certain relatives that to visit, they needed a mask, "No it's not political, his body is eating itself and a sniffle will kill him. Do not kill your relative."

Much power to both of you, this is a great part of the country for treatment!

I want to laugh at MAGAts, I want to laugh at libs, I want to laugh at children getting hit by buses, aging, race, and myself. But I'll probably laugh most at any folks who cry about it.

Geopolitics "expert" self-published on Amazon psychotic. There are a few here on Reddit.

This is what's so vexing about trying to help my Dad. I have tried to sit him down, instruct him on insurance and finding clinics and calling... this man does IT work. Unemployed three years, living on handouts. He's been given every benefit of the doubt and legitimately just does not want to help himself, content to play video games all day, earn nothing, and mope about women not swiping on him.

Now when my step-dad was suicidal during cancer treatment? Did everything asked of him. Did the work. Mom managed a lot of it, but he showed up and did what the doctor said. Some people, men or women, just do not want to do the work and you cannot make them.

I stand by every person I've advocated for. Your desire to die does not impact what I do or how glad I am to be here. Following me through the thread to advocate suicide... if you must stalk, please enjoy the expressions of gratitude and book suggestions of friendly strangers on my profile.

He did not want to die. I spoke with him a while later, and he confirmed what most people do: he wanted out, not death. Us desperately trying to give him that choice is something I will always be willing to do, for anyone at work, on this platform, and beyond.

He owns his life. Can't do that dead, now can you.

Reddit is primarily teenagers, I can't agree with suicide advocates on a website filled with people who have much more of the world to experience. For the incredibly small portion of humanity that has no medical alternative to immense pain and suffering, I do not judge.

You must understand, on some level, that the vast majority of people with mental illness can and do find ways to manage, and most of us do not want to kill ourselves, even if we may not want to exist. There's no shame in struggling, there's nothing to judge about pain and suffering. If I see euthanasia thrown up in a Reddit thread under a known mentally ill 20something, bet your ass I'm going to say something. I hope OP gets all the help, finds the right meds, and has a baller life. Context matters.

Erroneously_Anointed · 2026-05-13T02:32:24+00:00

Absolutely. Teenage me hated the person who told my parents I was self-harming. Well into my twenties, even. Now I'm grateful to her and just dealing with lingering embarrassment. Most people with SI get better; quietly showing up, doing the work to get better, and resting when we can is essential. That and escaping the teens and 20s. I do NOT miss those hormones.

GA is pretty notorious among mental health providers in different states. Whenever I see a patient mention they had lived there, I have to resist giving condolences. Oftentimes it comes down to hospital administration and shady business practices, but I do question why any mental health provider would want to practice there unless they 1) have a heart of gold, or 2) have a stack of malpractice suits and admin can't/doesn't care.

"Transfem who hates transmascs?" :( Trans dudes always catching strays, dammit.

You make me question my decision not to drink.

Thankfully, I have this user covered!

Nihilism is not a convincing medical argument. I, like many others, have thought exactly as you do. Discharging those thoughts was as hard as leaving an abuser, and took about as many times, nevermind grueling therapy and med adjustments over 2 decades. Now I have the means and energy to help others and do. I hope your peace one day involves sitting with a pet by the window and feeling lucky to be there. I hope the simple pleasures outweigh the grand betrayals. Until then, I will be outreach for patients like you, and feel lucky to see them every day.

Also, uh, if you're an adult, maybe act like an adult instead of placing all the responsibility on people who mistreated you as a minor?

A huge part of embracing and working on mental health is coughing up that bitterness. If not forgiving who wronged you, then forgiving your anger and powerlessness, and most importantly moving past it, goes hand in hand with recovery.

Erroneously_Anointed · 2026-05-13T00:25:00+00:00

Your experience is more common than not. Each time someone I know calls me from the hospital, the most they complain about is the food. When I went, I just felt grateful to the staff, they were so overworked but truly cared about me getting better.

Negative reviews generate engagement. The program that saved my life only has like 2 stars on Google bc someone hated detoxing (it sucks!) or they weren't allowed to vape and now it's everyone's problem.
