    No. Being politically active is of the upmost importance to me right now. I’m exhausted, but this election year is a matter of survival for queer people.

        Social media is always used to spread propaganda, China and Russia have groups of people dedicated exclusively to this

              I think you overstate how significantly social media impacts your local community and livelihood. like, it does, but not nearly as much as what you could do out in the world
