A thread absolutely no one asked for but has been in my drafts for days ⬇️⬇️⬇️:
I've been thinking a lot lately of the framing of 'critical friend'. It's often used in EDI discourse etc, and I'm going to be a #ControversialTurtle here and say: I don't like it.

If you know me, you know that I'm driven by Love over Fear. 'Critical Friend' sits in the realm of fear. Do you have critical friends? Family? parents? How does that work for you?
If you believe in Radical Love (and by the bell hooks I do) then my read of that is that you believe in taking people on the journey of self discovery to self actualization. It's not 'You're Wrong' it's 'I can understand why you said that, but have you thought of it this way'
