The what?
HAHA. Yeah, and it’s inclusive but exclusive. (thinking face) Uh… and you apply to join, where before being accepted you get a choice between 2-3 animals that you will be in The Menagerie. So… accept all… but only, maybe, a couple of newbies joining a week. You know, so it’s still a close-knit group and a “secretive” cult.
HAHAHA! Sorry about that randomness I just wrote, I was feeling creative. Ha I should really put this into my writing and not strange/silly cult ideas.

I thought about doing a stupid thing and then did another stupid thing to distract myself. After that, I thought doing a different thing would help me deal with those stupid things but that also turned out to be a stupid thing.
Speaking from experience, this would only lead to drama 
Just do it like we did with the star cult, accept everyone who wants to join and ask people who you vibe with if they want to join in as well

That’s what we were discussing on another thread. Also, it was never said that we’d exclude people, merely slowly admit people

This morning, I was scrolling through stories on Instagram, and was so happy that someone had Sunflower as their background music to promote a new story… until I saw the ‘explicit lyrics’ tag next to it… what???
Sunflower is NOT explicit. It’s literally in a movie for kids… how did it get that tag all of a sudden???
I just read the lyrics and I think the explicit stuff is extremelyyy implied like it’s more than radio friendly and as you said, on a kids movie (a really rad kids movie) but there’s like one line I read that could even be considered explicit

Head up
My Instagram was nearly hacked but I did fix the problem.
Make sure your account on social media isn’t hacked

That’s just exclusion with extra steps tho (it would most likely end in some people having to wait a lot longer than others because of people in the group not wanting them to join and purposefully not adding them for as long as possible or other stuff like that), imo there’s no real reason to hold back people from joining immediately, it worked well in 2019/early 2020 and it would work well again, there’s no need to overcomplicate things tbh

No, it’s not. Not if it is stated from the start that everyone is included, but in the order they asked to join, except at a slow pace. There is nothing wrong with that. What didn’t work about other groups was that they actively didn’t accept people.
Anyway, I don’t want to discuss this further here. Elixr and I did discuss this elsewhere. It has come to a standstill right, and possibly won’t come into pass, so can we please stop talk about it now?

I confess that I found my way back to myself. Well… kind of?
This is a pretty long summary but at least I tried
The question “Who am I?” came up pretty early for me and bothered me a lot. Over the years I went through different labels until the whole “you don’t have to fit into a category or label”-trend got really popular. That made it kinda more difficult for me because I never knew how I should behave. At some point, I noticed that I adapted to the people around me. But not just a normal amount of adapting. If a friend really liked a band that I hated before, my taste in music started to change. Even if I didn’t want that and never did it on purpose, it just happened. But I stopped minding that for a while, I liked the person I was when I adjusted to my friends back then.
However, I didn’t notice how much changed ever since I started going to university. The end of high school was really a big thing for me and university seemed like a big new challenge with lots of scary situations. For some reason, I managed to fit in really well so I never thought anything bad about the whole situation. I even stopped wondering what makes me “me”. I didn’t notice the changes I went through and how much I adapted. Even worse, I did that same thing online, adapting to people around me. So, on the one hand, I adapted my whole being to my real-life friends, on the other hand, I adjusted my online personality to the communities I was in. I didn’t even notice that. Gosh, I even thought I was finally able to be myself.
It started a few months ago that I noticed something was off. I was constantly tired, felt weak and unmotivated. But nobody was able to make me take a break and relax. Until about a month ago, when I found something on social media that made my thoughts go: “I like this but I’m not allowed to like it”. Catching myself thinking that was weird and I decided to just focus on the thing that I liked. I cut back my time for everything else and spent hours doing something that I haven’t really done in years. Not even a week later I already felt so much better about everything again. I didn’t get stressed out about small things and even my overthinking about some issues I had lately was almost gone. I just had a good time. At least a good time compared to how I was feeling the months before that.
Now there’re some things I realised. My preferences, my problems, my goals, they are all valid and I can change them when I want to. Adjusting to others is just a part of who I am and as long as I stick to the right people, it’s not that big of an issue. It becomes an issue if a person makes me feel like I can rely on them and then just seems to vanish from my life. But from every time that I’ve adapted to someone, I learned something new about who I am. That I like writing, dancing, drawing, …, that’s all me. But it’s the things I like when nobody’s around that make me “me”. It’s the things I want to hide from everyone else that make me “me”.
And just being able to come back to something I used to enjoy so much without anyone around me enjoying it as well? That made me feel like I am someone, not just an adjusted version of a human. As long as I remember what I enjoy, I don’t need any labels or categories to find back to my real self (or part of it). And that makes me happy.
