miles from riles
if no one told us these little mental health tips, we wouldn't know. if something didn't make us fight for what we needed, we'd never get this access. if we weren't entitled, we'd never get to become the selfless people you want us to be.
dysphoria killed riley. we can't know how much riles saw, but if he was more online, he might have been truscum. he might have sought a space that took his dysphoria more seriously, because he needed that. if he didn't get it, he'd die. and he did die without getting that. if he had been more online, he might have been badly abused. if someone, parent, teacher or friend, didn't tell him something sweet and reassuring enough, for riles-or-me to not be desperate enough and needy enough to ask for that space, maybe he would have asked, maybe he would have gotten called entitled, maybe he'd have gotten angry at being called entitled.
we can't know that you're talking about poverty and access issues if we're in poverty. we can't know if no one comes and tells us.
