Better yet...
While I recognize support is important, I wish we could deprogram religious people but really ALL people, especially kids and teens, from thinking they need to BELONG to feel whole and worthy.
They need to know they belong on this Earth by virtue of being here. We may not be welcome everywhere, but we sure as shit belong. Most groups, regardless of original intent, end up with an inclusion/exclusion dynamic that constantly needs to be navigated.
Then again, I'm an introvert and socializing a lot in person exhausts me. For people who need that, I can see they would prefer some semblance of community. We are conditioned to find where we BELONG, which leads to so much grief. Let's normalize people realizing they already belong. Period.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
