In the last week Amnesty International published and then retracted a report on JK Rowling and her cabal of British TERFs because she threatened them with her billions of dollars, the Women's Tennis Association announced genetic testing to keep trans women out, two pro Valorant players were openly making transphobic jokes while co-streaming the Valorant league for women and marginalized genders, and the internet hurl abuse at Elliot Page for acting in a movie And then I still have to go walk the dogs or take a shower or make a spreadsheet or whatever dumb stuff you have to do

@johanna@lgbtqia.space Your brother is an idiot with even more idiots jokes, never joke on people's suicide. I know it's harsh to say this way but... "I learned to care only up to a certain point". If I cared for everything shitty happening in the world at large I'd suicide tomorrow if not already today, so I simply shrug it off, I keep an eye on things at various depths depending on how close they are to me, but past that... I for sure don't ruin my day every day thinking "omg UK is really transphobic, trans people really are having a hard time" I'm sorry but nothing I can do for someone sitting in another country in another world and for sure being depressed is not going to help them but is for sure helping trans haters. The best counter to them is showing that we thrive even against all they throw us. It's a matter of my mental sanity and there is a right to say "this is enough I don't want to know more/to shoulder more".
