    (I’m not sure what Matrix is but I’m happy to look into it. Might need to be later because I’ll be getting ready for work soon, but it’s probably an idea if we don’t just keep posting in this random thread 😅)

    I’ve always had the impression that Germany is pretty good about these things, it’s a shame it still throws up roadblocks. I had heard about the AfD thing and it’s definitely scary, are you at least a little heartened by the protests against them? I really hope they’re stopped, I’d hate for you to end up in an unsafe situation.

    I can thoroughly recommend shaving arms, I did it thinking “well, I can fairly easily keep ithem covered til it regrows” and already I’m like “people are just going to have to get used to me having shaved arms, I guess, because I don’t want them hairy again” 😅

      It’s certainly nice to see more people openly speaking out against them. I think many are also just uninformed about what’s actually going on behind their curtains, what kind of narrative they drive.

      So spreading awareness is, as always, the most important step.

      Yeahh, I think I’ll shave my arms some time soon^^

        It’s distressing how easily people are willing to write off shocking levels of bigotry as just being “edgy” or “controversial” until it slaps them in the face, at least hopefully it has slapped people there soon enough to avert the worst of the problems. And hopefully the protests make Those People a bit less bold in their politics. Spreading awareness is important but it’s also important to be safe, it can be hard to do so if you’re potentially being confronted with a crowd of fascists 😕

        Oh yay, you’ll have to let me know when you do and we can compare notes _

        (I think I’m setup on Matrix, I’ve been stuck in traffic on the bus to work and had nothing else to do 😅 I should be luckingfurker:catgirl.cloud, if I understand it correctly (yes, I took a look at your (old?) profile to get an idea 🙂 I suppose really I could’ve just messaged you this on there instead, but I can be a silly goose sometimes))
