Hello

As with the previous news post, I write this with good intent. I do not intend to piss anyone off or start shit for the sake of starting shit.

I know there is bad news about election results in the United States. I want to offer words of affirmation for the worried people, LGBTQ+ or anxious. It’s okay to feel this way, especially if you’re a minority. Here are the main takeaways from the election:

• It’s going to be fine. Organize.
• We will all be okay.
• Leave Florida if you can.
• Transgender people will need all the support and community they can get.
• Love and be there for each other. This includes the Camellia Discord.

To queer people or anybody else, you are loved. We’ll win one day just as long as we have each other.

Don’t attempt suicide, don’t harm yourself, don’t do anything stupid to yourself. Talk to your friends or people.

Reach out to resources if you need to:

1. Call or Text 988 or visit their site here (United States only)
2. The Trevor Project (24/7 LGBTQ+ crisis support)
3. Wikipedia’s Suicide Crisis Lines
4. Take This (emergency and non-emergency mental health resources)
5. 7 Cups of Tea (24/7 online chat)
6. So You Feel Like Shit (interactive flow chart)
7. Self Help Resources
8. Finding affordable treatment services

Despite not being active in the community much anymore, I still deeply empathize with the current members who feel hopeless. Remember, you are loved. <3
