I hate when someone tries to strong arm me into giving them grace. You gotta let me decide that. Don't do something to me and then gaslight me into seeing it from your perspective. A lot of people do that shit and i find it wildly audacious
One thing I'm never going to wrap my head around as a black person/woman, is how white people carry more empathy for dogs/animals than they do me, and anyone who looks like me - even my children. It's this deep resentment I've never articulated, but living in a system that makes it clear a dog/animal's life is more valued than your own? It fucks with you.
