@RileyGryc Whatever happens with the test, I really just hope you get the rest and recovery you need to get well soon.

@fayekinley Come to think of it, requiring the standard of humanity to uphold an ideal being a straight white man is abusive in itself.

[Moniker Filí @Motleyka]

@fayekinley Unless you’re a straight white man, voting has always been a choice between which abuse you prefer.

@ace_national @neilhimself @Sam__Weller Once this is available for folks outside the UK, I’m interested in a listen.

@emmiesaur Since the pandemic hit, I think only one or two people have used my name outside of work or form reasons. So sometimes I forget I have a name at all.

[Moniker Filí @Motleyka]

@emmiesaur I meant to in like... 2012, but someone I was dating at the time wrote a beautiful poem about my name and I felt like I couldn’t anymore. I tried to like it again, but it just hasn’t happened. And what are names anyways? Just ways for people to acknowledge us or lines on forms?

How do we vote for ranked-choice voting? How do we make this like the thing?

Winner-take-all voting is at the heart of so many of our political problems. #NowStreaming

@AlishaGrauso Yuuup, I got canceled from communities for reporting rapists who liked to brag about who else they’d raped while they raped me. I simply was asking for the community to make sure the person stopped raping people. But nope.

@eyesonthestorm Government decided once the general public got used to the rate of human death staying at an all time high, they could chaulk it up as an economic casualty. Or something.

I don’t know why this has come up multiple times in the last 24 hours but it has, so here you go:

Being angry is normal and natural and okay.
Engaging in harm because of said anger is not okay.

Feelings are not actions.
Actions are a choice.

@dylanali_ Damn. I’ve been an adult for my whole life then.

I’m listening to this collection of essays narrated and written by Philip Pullman, and 1 hour and 24 minutes in I actually chuckle snorted. Just delightful!

@solomongeorgio Public Shaming is an ancient community accountability method that was written in the Bible.

Basically the method is:
1. Confront the person privately
2. Confront them with 2-3 people
3. Confront them in front of the community if they still refuse to acknowledge their harm.

@MattBawden1 @jhnshrdn @gingerbarbiee @nerdecaiiiiiii @displaced_ATX If you want to ask an expert for book writing purposes, ask intentionally, do not interrupt someone celebrating a monumental life affirming victory for your own personal gain.

@emmiesaur I am myself as a child and my own responsible caretaker all of the time. I appreciated learning the practice of reparenting myself to better facilitate this internal relationship. I like seeing someone else express what this looks like for them.

@Harpers This letter is manulatively vague and overwhelmingly loquacious.

Flip a coin and it could mean they support mass harm to an entire people group.

Flip it again and they are only suggesting kids stop bullying each other on the internet playground.
