Quick edit: If you want to reach me about a project I applied for, feel free to do so! I'll do my best to reply ASAP even though I'm on a hiatus of sorts.

Sup, chat.

I'm gonna be taking a few days off socials; not gonna get political here, but the elections have got me mentally drained.

I've also been dealing with a wicked depression spell lately, so that's been adding salt to the wound.

I'll be back in a few days once I've had some time to recharge.

In the meantime, I wanna say a few things.

I know this might not mean much coming from someone like me [a Canadian], but it's worth a shot.

To my fellow Americans, you aren't alone here. Reach out to others and tell them you love them.

If you or someone you love is in a rough spot and needs urgent help, I found a few hotlines in the USA that are open 24/7. There are also some warmlines that don't get police involved if that's something that worries you.

To my fellow LGBTQ+ users, you don't need to drop everything just yet. Keep on carving your own path and shaping your destiny. The warmlines include some LGBTQ+ specific lines, but there's a few more hotlines if you need urgent support.

If you wish to pursue DIY HRT as a last resort, PLEASE be safe and *do your research beforehand to avoid any risks.

Don't give up. I know things feel rocky right now, but we must push on and prove them wrong.

But here's my biggest piece of advice.

Harness the emotions you feel right now and turn it into motivation to make a change.

I'll see you when I'm back from my break.

Peace, gang.
