Can’t thank you enough for that. Too many of us quietly fight these demons daily. My hope is we can be more open and less shameful about our struggles. When we remove stigma, people will be more inclined to get help. There’s no stigma associated with going to the doctor for a broken leg. Why should there be one for going to a therapist to treat depression or anxiety?
@HakeemAQY@Chris_Soulo@FadeAwayMedia I definitely agree with that, I don’t see a problem with just doing your job and going home tbh. Being a reliable first one in last one out type of person can have a lot of upside but also of drawbacks depending on the workplace you are in
@HakeemAQY@Chris_Soulo@FadeAwayMedia Doesn’t that probe the point? Sticking around through the end of a show can help generate opportunities for people. A lot of opportunities are created by simply being in the right place at the right time
@meganschrader@swampsurfer99@megbasham Well like, women not supporting women’s sports has been a problem tbh. It’s the reason the WNBA (despite the NBA funding it) barely makes any money. Why the pro Softball leagues never got as big as they could be.
@MarekZee@mingle_malinger@xoxo_tinyyy @SourLindsay @CoreyWriting Also, a lot of these things are documented from before any political career and the birther rumors are literally his words, he said it publicly multiple times so being willingly ignorant isn’t a good look on you
@MarekZee@xoxo_tinyyy @SourLindsay @CoreyWriting They literally destroyed several blocks of homes and homes that had none of that group in those homes which is also KNOWN amongst the city residents. I grew up in that city. You haven’t provided anything to disprove what i said besides your feelings
@MarekZee@xoxo_tinyyy @SourLindsay @CoreyWriting What about what i said was wrong? People were literally let go of their jobs and kicked out of school for that and there is proof if you even cared enough to check with the Trump birther lie about Obama. Jussie is a liar to the highest degree idk what he has to do with this tho
@mingle_malinger@MarekZee@xoxo_tinyyy @SourLindsay @CoreyWriting Trump was sued and lost for discriminating against black people wanting to rent in his building? Or started that birth certificate rumor about Obama. Or who called White supremacists “very fine people”. Who released a video with the Obamas as monkeys? That Trump isn’t racist?
@MarekZee@xoxo_tinyyy @SourLindsay @CoreyWriting Like my oldest sister was born 5 years and me 13 years after the Philadelphia police department bomb and entire neighborhoods of black and brown people. You have absolutely no idea how recent racist people and their policies have affected us and it’s very obvious
@MarekZee@xoxo_tinyyy @SourLindsay @CoreyWriting Also you living here longer absolutely does not mean you understand or know the average experience of a black person in America so don’t act like it
@MarekZee@xoxo_tinyyy @SourLindsay @CoreyWriting Centuries of suffering, subjugation, senseless rapes and murders didn’t just disappear after slavery ended cuz racist white people were able to stay in positions of power. And many still do to this day even after the Civil Rights movement ended
@MarekZee@xoxo_tinyyy @SourLindsay @CoreyWriting I mean when you live in and actually from a country where racism was engrained into very systems that run the country it doesn’t just go away in 2 generations after centuries of it. If you don’t want to understand then fine but kindly leave the conversation to those of us who do
@MarekZee@xoxo_tinyyy @SourLindsay @CoreyWriting If you don’t care about the history that happened to your people that’s fine but understanding and caring about the history as well as how history affects the present isn’t being a victim. Its only portrayed that way when the atrocities happen to black and brown peoples
@MarekZee@xoxo_tinyyy @SourLindsay @CoreyWriting Understanding the history is not being a victim. You wouldn’t tell Jewish people to move on from being shoved in chambers and gassed so you shouldn’t be telling black people how to feel about our people being killed and discriminated against in some of the unimaginable ways
