Okay, but like what actually is this site?

⋯

—That’s a fair question—

We’re a kind of social support platform that will feel familiar in its style of how we interact online, yet different in its ease and access to resources, bolstering of healthier community spaces, and deep commitment to promoting kind, fair, and respectful interactions online.

✴︎ We’re an •equality-focused community• that’s rooted deeply in our values

✴︎ We’re a •hub with mental wellbeing resources• to promote joy, connection, resilience, and growth

✴︎ We’re a •space to connect• through various mediums like Groups, Member Chat, and a Blog.

✴︎ We’re a •podium to showcase and uplift• creations by BIPOC, Women, and LGBTQ+ creators

So long story short, we’re a platform built on kindness and care for one another—and, one that we’re hoping you’ll find is better than what you’ve been given so far in the social media space.

Our Community Values

⋯

Love & Care ⋯ We act with affection, warmth, and kindness towards ourselves and others. We show up with gentleness and thoughtfulness in our interactions. We are inclusive of all, regardless of how they identify or present in this world.

Equity & Justice ⋯ We choose, above our own potentially conflicting desires, fairness—guided by facts and reason. We recognize that people have different circumstances—then we acknowledge, and adjust imbalances—taking them into consideration to promote what is right. We are rooted in and guided by anti-racist, feminist, and LGBTQ-inclusive perspectives.

Respect ⋯ We act in ways that are polite, considerate, and show positive regard towards ourselves and others. We intentionally avoid words or actions that harass, harm, or promote hate.

Connection ⋯ We choose to genuinely engage in whatever we do, and be fully present with others to promote relationships built on mutual respect, understanding, and acceptance.

Open-mindedness ⋯ We intentionally think things through, and willingly consider other perspectives and opinions that may differ from our own, so that we can better weigh information fairly. We recognize that we are allowed to, and even encouraged to, change our opinions and stances as new information is presented to us—especially when doing so benefits all members of society more equitably.

Our Mission

⋯

✴︎ To promote a space that is kind, respectful, and inclusive—and that recognizes all people are inherently deserving of being treated equally in dignity and rights—regardless of identity, innate characteristics, or beliefs.
