Cosonauts:
I understand the raw emotions many of you are all feeling right now. This is heavy stuff.
Please, take care of your mental health and limit your doom scrolling / posting / boosting. All that grinding leads to anxiety and/or depression. Trust me.
I also request that your please tag all political posts #politics , *especially* those related to the leaked SCOTUS draft. This will allow others to filter these posts if they need to do this for *their* mental health.

@voltronic This is a great point! One of the critical things that distinguishes this place from others is the simple expectation that you spend a moment thinking of the impact before boosting or posting. If you have an inkling that your boost or post may cause someone some harm, even minor, please post under a content warning "CW" and with a relevant hashtag to help people protect themselves.
@voltronic fine post. Wish I could buy you a beverage.
@SimplyZippy
I will have a beer in your honor, then. 🍻
Please consider that there are survivors of assault here, and the nonstop avalanche of posts about this can reopen their trauma. That can make this space less safe for them if they can't effectively filter.
Finally, ask yourself if what you are posting is your own thought, or a copy-paste of countless others. Yes, there is need for organizing, but simple repetition is not the way to do it. Remember that engagement on posts doesn't matter here.
Thanks for helping us all get through this.
