    And yet, instead of just scrolling on and ignoring it, hiding the post, or even blocking me, each of which or even all together would have taken a couple of clicks at most, you decided that taking the time to let everyone know was a better use of your time.

    Had you even considered that no one cares that you don’t like a completely inconsequential thing? 😂







  • Step one (and the easiest thing for me to do) is to write things like this and try to let people know I’m with them.

    Step one is listening and being willing to deal with the discomfort that might come with that. Not being the easiest thing for you to do is for you to resolve with yourself. But step one will always be to set your ego aside and listen.

    but it’s a start.

    That’s for you to prove, the fight rages on with or without you.

    You could start by not centring yourself and making a post about what a good ally you think you are and instead make one centring the people you say you’re here to support (“I love you, solidarity” done), one simply asking how you can help, or even better, be a good ally and invest your own time, energy, and emotional labour in searching out and consuming some of the hundreds if not thousands of articles/videos/podcasts/blogs/communities that already exist out there on the subject.

    You might feel helpless, but you have significantly more privilege than most people here, use it.

    Don’t say.

    Do.


  • In 4 years (hopefully), we’ll have someone else in charge, and I am going to be right here, ready to pick up where things left off.

    I know you mean well, but if you genuinely care, you’re going to have to do better than that at this point. “Where things left off” was already bad for a lot of people, and even if society at large does get back there, many of us won’t make it that long.
