The “guy” on the left was so depressed he had trouble getting out of bed every day. He’d get drunk every night because he didn’t want to be alive anymore. He knew he was a girl since he was a toddler, but also knew family would disown him if they knew.
But one day she took agency over her own life and decided to live authentically, rather than fulfill the gender role expected of her by society. Rather than kill herself she decided to try hormones and see if it made her feel better. It did. Within a few days her will to live returned.
And today, despite being disowned by her entire family and everyone she ever knew, despite intense discrimination, and despite constant harassment and hatred from people like you, she’s happier than she’s ever been.
I didn’t kill anyone. I saved her life.
You probably follow me for helping street dogs like OREO. Today something very different that I hope might help even one person.
I suffer from depression and on Monday had one of the worst panic attacks I’ve had in years.
A look into that world (1/8) 🧵

"It was the perfect storm of what Twitter needed. There were funny animal accounts [at the time], but no one was putting effort into the captions of those photos,” Matt Nelson, founder of WeRateDogs, told The Daily Beast.

Aleksey Navalny was a fearless advocate for his beliefs who died unbroken by the tyranny he opposed. He fought corruption, inspired millions and never wavered in his insistence on free expression, the rule of law, and a Russia that is accountable to the people and not a dictator. He died in unyielding defense of his vision of a better future for his country - a vision, and a courageous example, that will never die.
Once again, we need help 😞 We have a smaller shelter at the top of the mountains in North Bali, created for overspill. All the walls need replacing and we need to make a large roof covering at least a quarter of the land. Rainy season is here and it's quite unbearable for the dogs and staff there (basically a massive mud bath 😩). 7 dogs escaped yesterday because there was a hole in one of the walls, plus they're digging under because there's no cement to deter them 😩 Luckily all 7 returned unscathed, but we cant guarantee this if it happens again. We already have £900 in the pot from the Gatsby event, but we need at least double that amount for materials and labour.
Please give whatever you can to help us 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 We will update on the progress often. I hate to beg, but here we are 😞 We want to make the shelter as comfortable and safe as possible for all.

Hmm I dunno, maybe if you write a story about how a person killed an innocent teenager because they wanted to be famous, don’t illustrate the story with a giant flattering photo of the murderer, thereby making her more famous?
