I have no connection to m*ttbc other than having unfollowed them years ago when I had a much smaller account because it seemed like a lot of people they qt dunked on were other disabled people who were either misspeaking or misinterpreted.
this whole thing is an access convo.

I spend a lot of time on twitter and also I’ve had a disproportionate amount of Cognitive Dysfunction Conflict happening in my mentions over the last five years and there’s a lot to say about social media and harassment and protecting ourselves (and each other!) from for ex rsd.
misunderstandings get heated bc of conflict collapse & bc when you’re alrdy screening harassment it can be impossible to read things generously. (also we should be able to use twitter without always performing customer service). but community resources have different access reqs.
*context collapse 🤦🏻♀️
like I get frustrated when somebody responds to my tweets explaining chronic illness 101 to me, but that doesn’t mean the person was acting in bad faith. they may just be operating in a different context.

anyway I’m tweeting about this because I’ve RT’ed a lot of these MC conversations and I think the nuances of the critique are pretty important and worth getting familiar with.
