And most importantly to me personally, I am matching donations to Trans formative Schools, which provides after school programs for kids in NYC. They also show up every time those kids are under attack.

You might know Call of Cthulhu is the most popular TTRPG in Japan but what you might not know is that Japan is simply playing Call of Cthulhu at an entirely different plane of thought than everyone else
Things You Don't Owe Anyone in 2026 (Or Ever) Dr. Natalya @elnatherapy 1. Immediate access to you. Urgency doesn't create obligation. 2. Details about your life. Your choices don't need defending. 3. Gratitude for what harmed you. "But it made you stronger" is crap. 4. Availability outside your capacity. Overextension isn't generosity. 5. Unhealthy optimism vs honesty. Naming what's real isn't pessimism. 6. Performing happiness for others. You're allowed to be flat, tired & quiet. 7. Emotional regulation for others. You're not here to manage feelings. 8. Access to your space. You decide who comes in & when. 9. A "better attitude" about life. Reality doesn't improve with denial. 10. Making yourself easier to swallow. Respectfully, let them choke.
