Time to address the elephant in the room.
I don't talk much about politics because I have realized, this year and the last, how sheltered and privileged I am and how little I actually know. Any hot takes from me on *most* serious issues are pretty much worthless.

This doesn't mean I can't do anything... but most things I can accomplish on social media, on this particular website at this point in time would just be a salve for my ego. So as far as this website is concerned, given my small account size anyway, I'd rather not.
Things are dire right now, though. I mostly post about relatively happier things, and it feels like Nero fiddling while Rome burns at times. But I do think everything can get a little... much... And I don't think it's wrong to try to stay upbeat?
I hope not, at least.

Worth noting that there are some exceptions that I do think I'm relatively qualified to talk about. Trans issues I've got some lived experience in. But I'm still a baby there, other people know a lot, lot more.
Anyway, an important distinction I want to make absolutely, 100% clear: just because I'm not talking about the important events happening right now doesn't mean they're not happening, and that they don't matter. It just means I'm a small account aware of my ignorance. That's it.
