For those who may be/may have been wondering why I confronted that toxic misogynist gamer Homie via quote tweets the other day (y'know, the one who needed proof of male gamers being toxic to women gamers while being toxic to a woman gamer), here's a 🧵.

For one thing, if nobody ever calls out people who bully others, those people never change. What's worse, they go on to influence *other* people who maybe start parroting the behavior. Perhaps children, which is the worst instance.

The first misogynist tweet he made to me, I reported; it came back almost instantaneously as "not in violation" (Twitter's words, not mine). I wanted to give Homie enough shoelaces to trip himself up so that any further reports on him were OBVIOUSLY bad...

Was genau ist eigentlich Pacing? Und wie vermeide ich Rückschläge? Wo lauern Stolpersteine und wie erkenne ich meine eigenen Grenzen?

#1 Dive within your limits
Individuelle (Tagesform beachten) Grenzen sollten unbedingt eingehalten werden um Rückschläge zu vermeiden. Aber dafür muss man sich & seinen Körper neu kennenlernen.
➡️ An #Grenzen rantasten, nicht einfach darüber hinweggehen & sich nicht vergleichen.

#2 Use the buddy system - do not dive alone

I’m an autistic person with #dyscalculia.
So, while I very much *feel* #SpoonTheory in my being, it all falls apart when trying to use it as a metaphor with others (or as an accommodation strategy for myself). I constantly miscount and lose them.
I’m a #Spoonie without spoons.

When speaking, or in meetings, I’m often asked by folks to explain spoon theory. I usually just turn to someone I trust and ask “Could you explain it?”
For myself, I’ve learned to just make myself stop, slow down, or turn down requests when needed — and to be ok with that.

I mean, I’m a huge supporter of spoon theory as a metaphor to explain things to others and as an accomodation peoole can use themselves. It just all gets tangled and anxiety-inducing for me.
I love to laugh at that, though. You kind of gotta.
