RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

back when i was 13, i thought being black was one of the coolest things ever. i felt envy being white and i wanted to be black. due to the anonymity of online, i told everyone i was black. i was learning haitian creole and also told everyone i was learning it for my heritage and that i was haitian-american.

im 18, i don't think this way anymore.

Actually that looks good on you for not being a racist and learning about other cultures heritage.
