Benvenescu! Noi sint sa gläts qe tu isch aicì! Tent-tu detxa presentat ün candidatür per invandrar?

El glheþ obliat

Éu scrïu ünă airignhă
àl glheþ dal naziun,
Éu scrïu acestilor lignhăs
àð atxutar la memoraziun,
parç qe neviens uça els tuns mocts
mas el päts viva in el glheþ osprei toct.

Glheþ ¡salga àl mundeu!
Parla avetz suaviloquençă,
mostra tu subtiloquençă;
oxhi acest serà avuondeu
svo àð reméindar àls citaxhiéns
qe tu non volt restar
el glheþ obliat.

Azul! Éu sint noveu aicì! Éu veladréu aprendar el glheþ es comtribuçar àl literatür naziunal.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 09:07:06 PMBarclamiu, I was genuinely hurt and confused when you requested to have your videos taken down from Fora Talossa. Ever since there seems to be hostility.

I don't really understand why you're so hurt by this, I just want to perhaps protect my privacy because my face has been weaponised and used against me before? I think that should be common sense, especially when I'm still a minor. Also I do not wish to be associated with someone who has sexually harassed another citizen while also victimising themselves to the point that the actual victim has given up on wanting an apology from you.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 09:07:06 PMI recall a conversation about furries in an immigration thread. At the time, as a member of a university Queer Collective group I had met my first furry so it was an honest curiosity to me.

That is a rather mediocre attempt to relate with me.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 09:07:06 PMYou later made fun of my appearance which was again quite hurtful. I continue to be confused as to what I did to you to deserve this. Was it a consequence of what I said to Luc or the heat of politics?

I should have articulated that better and I am aware it was hurtful. This and exclusively this is on me.

Normal people (for the non-exclusionary senses of that term) do not need a special space or group to remind them to be empathetic. It's something they do out of reflex, because they are humans.

In the course of taking stock of my own mental health, over the past 72 hours, I was reminded of my attempt to start something called the Talossan Empathy Network. It would have been a space for vulnerable, challenging interpersonal discussions which I think could have been a tool for growth, connection and even transformation.

Here was the announcement from quite a while ago:

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on August 25, 2022, 07:10:20 PMThe past six months have seen a remarkable number of instances where citizens reference struggles with their mental health. Obviously COVID and economic difficulties are implicated somewhat. And I aware that none of us, insofar as I am aware, is a mental health professional but that does not mean we are unable to be sources of empathy and compassion for one another. The education of our personal experiences, while not qualifying us to be truly effective clinical providers, does allow us to provide the ear and eyes of someone who knows the path the other speaks of.

There will be inevitable, necessary considerations on privacy concerns which may vary by person. But in this thread and maybe a freestanding group in the future I would like to guage public interest in convening a mental health support group. If it is warranted and advisable, then what are concerns that need to be addressed before launch?

I am certainly not the best person to sponsor and spearhead it now. But I do think some kind of dedicated effort to nurture these kinds of discussions could make Talossa a place of belonging and comfort. Should someone take the baton I believe that there was a suggestion that the discussions be guided by the rules of Nonviolent Communication.

PER.

I'm willing to admit that Breneir has done a thing to atone that required some modicum of effort and sacrifice. He may even have learned something from it.

Unfortunately, his chosen course of conduct in the 18 months preceding must weigh into the judgements we make of his character, and, as such, what I would further suggest as a much more comprehensive gesture of his wish to change for the better is for him to see a (secular!) mental health professional specializing in personality disorders.

Of course, it would be a violation of his privacy if he were to be compelled to inform anyone of a hypothetical diagnosis, but if he were diagnosed, and if he received a list of next steps the following of which led to an apparent change in his conduct and approach to others, that to me would clear him of all my misgivings about his character going forward.

Apologies for necroposting.
My delegation to Al-Khalil/Hebron has been delayed to mid-2027 but I am still planning to create an FT special from my time there.
