legit the best advice i can give you: feed your friends
any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don't have to choose what it is if they can't make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you're just gonna make food happen at their house.
friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.
someone's relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.
buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.
pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that's what they want.
people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.
legit i do this all the time, and it is 100% always appreciated. i have taught all my friends that when something happens, we feed each other. it makes people feel extremely cared for, and I cannot recommend it enough.
-Most libraries I've been to (even in the middle of hicktown-homophobia central!) are accepting of LGBTQ+ people and often have good reasourses for learning about the community.
-Most libraries have public classes you can take: art, cooking, home ec, etc., For adults who need to know.
If this post gets 365,000 notes by Halloween 2022 I’ll turn some of my art into pins 👀 (I’ll make different flags too… these are just possible designs)
Obviously I’m not gonna make them all at once… Just wanna see if there is enough interest!
