Been forgetting to post stuff here lately.... whoops! Here's a piece I made in honor of the Imodna Inception AU Liminal by The_Unqualified1 on AO3, bc I figured if I was gonna keep screaming at them in the comments about it, I might as well make something for it! Love how this came out and you should absolutely go read it.

directactionforhope

hi, idk where else to go for this but..

do you have any tips on how to keep some form of hope when the fbi is working on making a terrorist threat category for being trans or being a trans advocate

im very terrified and its been getting harder and harder to keep any form of hope

So, this advice is going to start somewhere you probably didn't expect: with cybersecurity.

Because the thing is that your brain is (very reasonably and correctly!) trying to warn you that there is serious danger here/potentially on the way. So we need to do something to address that warning notification before we can move onto recentering in hope in a sustainable, healthy, or holistic way.

So, First:

Be preemptive about controlling your data, privacy, and security now. Better to prepare and not need it than to not take those steps and really wish you had. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has a great guide for this here:

Surveillance Self-Defense (SSD) is EFF's online guide to defending yourself and your friends from surveillance by using secure technology an

And trust me, it'll be a lot easier to find both some relief from the fear AND the ability and resources to take action and FIGHT BACK when you know you have already taken important steps to keep yourself safe

Here's the thing: Fear serves a purpose. Anxiety and terror serve a purpose. They are there to warn you that you need to take action, that there is something you need to DO to protect yourself and keep yourself safe.

You have to listen to the warning and do something to help protect yourself, to show your brain and mind that you're listening to that fucking alarm, before the volume of the alarm will lower and become less overwhelming, letting you have the energy to DO something about it.

The antidote to anxiety is action.

Take some action, whatever you're up for right now, to protect yourself.

As you do that, once you've begun to address and clear the giant "WARNING: ACTION NEEDED" notification from your brain, it will get easier and easier to feel and find and see hope.

And do what you can to get involved with other people, if you can at all, even if it's only like going to a volunteer day or signing up to work at a food bank once a month.

Community is also a powerful antidote to anxiety, especially because, as mammals, we inherently co-regulate and calm each other. There's a ton of science behind this but can't find a source that's both accessible and beginner friendly and easily packaged together for these arguments, but basically, positive and safe interactions with other people do appear to inherently calm and settle your nervous system on what genuinely appears to be a neurochemical level.

[ETA: I removed the video here, thanks to the person in the comments who pointed out that polyvagal theory has some large areas of factual inconsistencies - but as they also pointed out, regulating your nervous system is still useful and important, so here's some resources on that.]

Learn 10 gentle ways to regulate your nervous system and restore calm—based on The Anxiety Guy’s proven methods for anxiety recovery.

Second:

Subscribe to more good news sources (I have a great list of newsletters and podcasts linked right below, plus there's some more in the comments). That is VITAL, because your brain needs a COUNTERPOINT, to see that there IS hope and that there are SO, SO MANY PEOPLE HELPING.

There is so much evidence for hope. So many reasons to think we can FIGHT THIS - from LA getting ICE to back the fuck off to Nepal overthrowing their repressive government to people, all over the country and the world, doing whatever they can to push back against the forces of hatred and deprivation and fascism.

There are people who love us, who WILL fight for us and ARE fighting for us, as we must find ways to fight for and support ourselves/each other.

But before you can have hope that feels sustainable, you have to know that the evidence is there. Which means you have to put yourself in a place where you can SEE that evidence (which is not fucking easy necessarily!! and yet is so much easier than you may think).

Also bookmark LGBTQ Nation's Good Queer News feed.

Good luck.

Times are scary, but we CAN fight back. We've proven that, history has proven that. And the more we can move ourselves from feeling frozen from anxiety, into action, the easier that will be, and the better a chance we'll have.
