Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

What if you can't get access to the primary source?
I recall getting points taken off in middle/high school if the only source was the world book dictionary.. So either find a book at the library or fire up the family computer hope the phone is free and search the '90s net for some source? (Avoiding the popups/unders) [and be fast as we only had so many mins/mo included]
Well for example Wikipedia might link to a book that costs money or an article that's paywalled. Which for serious research it might be worth paying for but not for a random essay.
