I have founded a group for abuse survivors (of past or present abuse) and those who question whether they were or are experiencing or witnessing abuse or coercive control or undue influence or someone is using power over them and retaliating against them when they don't "behave".

I myself survived childhood sexual abuse, incest, abuse by a cult, my therapist, psychiatry nurses, sibling, friends, queerplatonic partner/girlfriend, roommate and harrassment from a nazi neighbor plus landlords. I kinda got a bad start to life (in germany) and then people tended to make it worse instead of helping me or they took advantage of me.

So I learned a lot about what does and doesn't help!

And I want to help you out, whether you went through something you fear no one will believe or be able to stomach hearing about, or you think it was probably nothing and you overreact. You don't overreact! Nothing is too small to be worth talking about.

I'm making a space to have a warm, supportive, good vibes atmosphere that we co-create together. We'll help each other grow and see through confusions and distortions of the truth and gain more agency, to make choices, decisions and do stuff and have an impact on the world.

We'll also have fun and laugh and cry and eat cookies and discover what it's like to argue with someone who doesn't slice you to ribbons emotionally.

Anyone is welcome regardless of age, gender, ability, neurotype, location or background. I just ask that you help make the group a good space, be that by complaining when everyone else is too polite to say anything or by listening or by sharing. Please don't worry that by joining you'll take up too much space or take resources away from someone who might need them more — you ARE our space and our resources!

The first step is, once we have at least a handful of people, to decide when and how often to meet.
I use @delta delta chat for its privacy and because it works with spotty internet and very little tech knowledge. It works on desktop and mobile. You can download the app from google's or apple's appstore or FDroid or their website delta.chat (watch me not get the preview to work)
It was super easy to make an account and didn't require anything other than a username - no phone number or email address (or password).

DM me for an invite, which is a link that you click to join the group. The group is invite only to keep out spam and abusers.

Please boost and share this post, including on other sites or however it works for you, or by talking about it and linking here.

Who’s taking care of our collective hearts in this moment? ❤️‍🔥

Pay attention to how people, especially media personalities, speak.

A friend reminded me yesterday that our words have the power to heal or hurt. Our #media is designed for outrage so turn to healthy media in this time.

Follow @roots to find healthy and independent media. We’re here to support our collective wellbeing as we navigate Big Tech and media’s power grab. #bigtech #communitycare

There's a street library in Bathurst, and it has an insta. As a celebration of 100 followers, they posted a series of pictures of the library, including the library "marching for liberation and justice".

I love seeing things like this around me, because so often living in regional Australia feels like I'm the only person around here concerned with social justice, and it's amazing to find out there are comrades just down the road!

The #colonializers see the #marginalized and other fauna of this earth as commodities

That's why you practice #charity instead of the human obligation of #CommunityCare and #MutualAid

As the #DeathMachine nears your doorsteps all the #performative acts of defiance pop up and you cry about there not being enough Blue people in charge

News flash as beings in an #ecosystem it's your job to care for the earth not some political clown 🤡

I used to think tech was neutral. But then I watched a friend burn out holding space online. I saw joy swallowed by platforms that didn’t understand care.

That’s why I build tech that feels like home.

At #FediCollective, we’re technologists, designers & organizers creating healing tech with and for BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities rooted in joy, care, and futures built with heart.

As we plan for 2026, we’re opening the circle.

✨ Looking for guest speakers, co-organizers & collaborators
💻 Devs, designers, founders, community-minded marketers
💛 Most of all, people who build with care

🗓️ Join our November & December sessions: lu.ma/FediCollective

If you’re building tech that helps people feel more whole, more seen, more safe — let’s connect. 🌱

Update: COVERED! Thanks so much! Will delete shortly to make space.

Hey to the online helpers, we are down to the last $50 needed to get Ashley Diamond to a trans-affirming shelter location. There is a possibility she could leave as soon as 12 hours from now, if we can get the funds. Thanks for sharing your funds, time, and the toot.
