Just voted. Is my state even remotely in play? No. But neither is my vote against fascism. Millions of vulnerable people need an Act of Grace. Sign your X.
hello! I wrote another thing bc I remembered I can just finish small things sometimes
dedicated to @_smallestchurch, who’s been kick-starting my inspiration lately and is indirectly responsible for this actually getting finished
enjoy! https://t.co/hwjJszdfuN
My trek through the Gentlebeard fic archives brought me to @et_ark's "Domestic" today. Gorgeous. And largely fits with the end of season 2 as our precious fools work on a fixer-upper and are disgustingly in love. https://t.co/3xQ94IKIeN
I've never understood the "intent doesn't matter" viewpoint. I *totally* get the point that someone is hurt no matter what your intent, and apology is almost always called for. But for me, it makes a HUGE difference when I learn that I mistook their intent. 1/3
I’d almost forgotten this one.
I’m going to have to gather all of Taika’s Rhys impressions together one of these days. Korg almost having Rhysie’s accent tickles me especially.
So yeah. For me, if someone wants to apologize and then explain their intent, I'm all ears.
There are obviously cases where people's past actions make them lose this benefit of the doubt.
This isn't a subtweet. It's just something I was thinking about. 3/3
We ALL frequently mistake each other's intent, especially when we're neurodivergent, and if I know that someone meant something completely different and didn't intend to hurt me, it takes a huge weight off my heart. In most cases, it erases the hurt entirely! 2/3
