Hey everyone,
I'm, as probably all of you, deeply disturbed by the escalation of terror perpetrated by these new right-wing extremists throughout the world.
Yesterday, in my country, today in New Zealand and before in the US, Canada, Norway and so many other places...
In a thread about the NZ terror attack, someone mentioned having seen the correspondent thread of the forum known here as 'the old place' and being horrified.
And while I'm still feeling a plethora of things, mostly bad ones like melancholia, anguish really, that comment made me realize I actually felt I could come here to this forum and share my grief and sorrow without fearing to see horrid discourses, defensive rethoric or any sort of violence-enabling behavior.
And this realization warmed my heart.
So for the existence of this safe and amazing place, full of kind and ethical people, in which I can come and actually feel better, I thank you all.
Thank you staff, thank you my fellow colleagues.
Ps. Sorry for the eventual mistake. Not a native speaker and very emotional rn.
