Today someone sent me a message informing me that I didn't hate someone enough, in a public enough fashion. I'd made the mistake of thinking I could affiliate with people without having to pick up their mantle and answer a call to war to be accepted. I was wrong.
Thread
This isn't the first and wont be the last time this happens to me. I see nuance in things. Because I do I attempt to be diplomatic. I don't often attack I look for resolution. Turns out that's not something desirable in a lynch mob.
I've had SEVERE anxiety as a result of the constant calls to "join the fight" to denounce, to burn bridges, to DESTROY THE ENEMY.
YOU DON'T OWN ME
I've sat in tears assessing if I'd gone wrong, if I'd betrayed someone by not attacking another for their honour. I owe my voice to no one and I won't be guilted into you gaining it. HEAR THAT!
I have a preference for resolution. If you don't like that you can scroll past my presence on the internet you don't have to engage me or consume my content. I've been manipulated before and I WON'T BE WEAPONIZED.
If you don't like my approach to interactions don't adopt it but don't tell me how to behave to suit your standard. I wont be abused into behaviors to appease someone elses purposes EVER AGAIN.
The end
PS FUCK OFF 🖕

So @paulogia0 is away and I've decided to use this free time to (attempt to) watch every Star Wars movie in chronological order so I can figure out what he's always going on about.
Are there no actual sentient creatures on this ship other than the frog looking guys? Like it's all druids all the time and 2 frog dudes
It just hit me this full grown queen is going to have twin children with the literal 6 year old we're about to meet.
I'm tired and cranky BUT I'm annoyed enough that this may be a thread. This post is about speaking FOR...FUCKING FOR communities you aren't a part of and why that's fucked...screw it thread!
Here's the thing I'm really fully sick of multiple people who aren't a member of a group speaking on behalf of them. Is being and ally important? HOLY SHIT YES G PLEASE DO IT! .....but....What I see ALL THE FUCKING TIME is not allyship it's representation by proxy
It's 3 or 4 white CIS het dudebros having 4,000,000 "debates" about...oh I don't know...trans women in sport with ZERO FUCKING Trans women or women in sprr present. It's 5 dudes giving their take on Feminism. It's 3 white guys talking about how CRT impacts their lives
So I was just tagged in this. I have a significant amount to say about it. I'm assuming it was Tweeted in order to elicit a response, so well done! Here's the Twitter version of mine:
Christianity doesn't offer "Hope in the face of suffering" anymore than "atheism" does. It offers a theory on the source of and potential solution to suffering. That theory is only as effective as the situation it's applied to
If for example your source of suffering is being LGBT in a society that makes that difficult what does Christianity offer aside from a model where you must not be yourself in order to exist in the paradigm? Trading suffering for suffering isn't a solution.
