✨Soff✨ Mawr 🏳️‍🌈 @mawr@plush.city

For those in our Seattle & greater Seattle-adjacent communities who need some extra help weathering this pandemic for any reason, a group currently going by the name of "COVID-19 Mutual Aid" is rapidly forming to help match requests for aid with volunteer efforts.

The following message is copied in full (with some modification) from the "COVID-19 Mutual Aid - Seattle" Facebook group. The original is available here:

A burned out friend of mine said, after listing a huge list of accomplishments, "I have no concept of what is 'a lot of work'" - so I thought I'd help explain.

"a lot of work" is what happens when you stop and think about the past 3 years of your life and you realize a lot of them are a blur because you spent so much of them furiously working the problems of multiple conflicting deadlines that a lot of it looks the same.

✨Plush✨ City is a space for soff frens and caring about each other. As mayor, I take no issue with blocking instances whose users are allowed to harass others - especially if they target minorities.

We prioritize keeping our federated timeline clear of harmful rhetoric over keeping perfectly clear and open channels of communication.

If you're looking for an instance which prioritizes free speech over safety, look elsewhere.

Thx.

After facing the fear: I still get super anxious! (So do most folks!)

When talking to others (and even from stories- did you know that nearly all comedians include "bombing" as a crucial moment of clarity in their careers?), I realized that stage fright is just a fear of rejection, and you can't always control that! I even sometimes make mistakes that haunt me. But even so, I keep doing it. Public speaking taught me to face failure and keep moving.

#IWasAfraid

After facing the fear: I made it there with cash to spare and found a job within a month that enabled me to get into a house with friends. I was living my best-ever life at the time, inside of 4 months. It was a risk, but when life gives you no other choices, sometimes the best choice is to truly commit to taking that leap of faith and making the best of whatever comes of it.

#IWasAfraid

After facing the fear: I learned that my close relationships have only gotten deeper by sharing myself as transparently as possible with those folks- even when I didn't have all the answers. Several online relationships centered entirely around sex were making me miserable, and changing them to friendships enabled me to be happier and healthier in those relationships.

#IWasAfraid

After facing the fear: The people at protests tend to be such positive people who look out for each other and care about one another first and foremost. Meeting allies and medics and getting into a couple of organizing groups has helped me feel like I'm making a difference in this hellscape of a world, which gives me far more strength to face each day than I had before I went protesting

After facing the fear: the jobs working for transphobes where I would be used, abused and made miserable stopped calling back, leaving only more supportive workplaces on the table and as a result, a more positive life

This is a thread of things I used to be afraid of, and how facing the fear actually showed me the thing I was fearing was actually a positive change

Because I have a _lot_ of them
