A reminder for myself and others:
Things that will not matter in the long run:
How many followers you have on social media
How many followers other people have on social media
Shipping discourse
Radqueer discourse
Queer discourse
What fandoms you're in
What fandoms other people are in
What fanworks people make
How someone labels themselves
What pronouns someone uses
Whether your social circle all has the same opinions
"Famous user" discourse
The personal beliefs other people have about their identity
Things that will matter in the long run:
Knowing your neighbors
Practicing critical thinking
Being someone that your friends can safely confide in
Practicing consent
Planting native plants
Healing your trauma
Being able to recognize when something is hurting you
Advocating for nonhuman animals
Getting your legal and medical documents together
Knowing your rights
Exercising
Learning new things
Being kind
Practicing forgiveness
Being reliable
