People on TikTok are like “If someone you don’t know says hi to you as you pass them on a sidewalk, they’re engaging in a manipulation tactic called ‘boundary-bombing’—here’s 5 signs to look out for” and then their next post is “The Village Theory” about how people need community
this also reminded me we gotta give N.K Jemisin her flowers more because she’s truly embodied the spirit Octavia E. Butler’s writing had. i’ve only read the Broken Earth Trilogy and the first two books of the Inheritance Trilogy but they embody a lot of the same themes and ideas
There’s a genre of person on the internet that can’t accept that something isn’t for them so they have to create some kind of moral reason for not liking something.

@PresidentAdaeze I didn’t even know who my mom’s sisters vs her cousins were growing up. I didn’t know who my actual grandma was as a kid. A few matriarchs in my family you wouldn’t know weren’t “mothers” unless you asked. Everything you said still applies (for my family anyway)!
@PresidentAdaeze I grew up being taught that as an African, there was no such thing as cousin/aunt, only siblings and parents. Cousins and aunties were community members we weren't related to. There’s no word (that I know of as I’m not fluent) for aunt/cousin in Lingala.
