looking for resources on dealing with an email i received via the contact form on my website.
it was TW-level harassing and the person provided a gmail address, though the form was not submitted via gmail, so google's policies don't help much. probably not even a real email address, but beyond saving the email i don't know if there's something i can/should do.
i'm in the US, btw.

@pixelpaperyarn Record all the info you can and keep a log if there's repeat attempts. Is there any connection to a specific community or activity? Sometimes I'm able to find out more from backchannels or by searching for the email or username online. Information-gathering is the most important thing you can do in this situation (and of course self-care!)
