Never forget what they took from us. Our water, our bread, our air, our communities, our health, our land, our lives, our hard-won freedoms. Our childhoods, our careers, our privacy, our 'productivity', our skilled labour, our time, our sacred spaces, our symbols, erasing our heritage & culture. Our siblings and mothers, our fathers and brothers, our streets and our houses and our peace. And what has been given in return for this taking? === Sha dak na'vak poko shipta aka! -- i live to serve that i may continue taking the trauma of being ashkanazi and finding ways to turn it into love, and beauty, and community.

Here's our advice in the context of the fediverse as an imperfect social network:
*) Always boost aid requests.
- Someone will meet their need
- the spot on your feed may make that connection = even if you or your immediate friends cannot.
*) Use unfollow, mute, and filters for mental health.
- does it spark joy?
- prune your follow feed for your own needs
- remember you can mute people
- you can also unfollow someone's boosts
*) Remember to play nice when among friends.
- conflicting access needs run rampant among those who have experienced trauma
- kindness is distinct from lack of consequences for being a consistently shitty person
- be gentle with callouts
- be honest about your own actions = be mindful of the spoon-cost and fork-inducement of your asks.
Be yourself. Be willing to change. Be willing to apologize.
Be careful, this network is unencrypted, and the admin sees everything.
