@mandymettle Look, he’s right in that people will draw that conclusion, but that’s based on them being bootlicking simps who apparently think that genocide and authoritarianism is cool if it’s not happening to them.
@clare_mcivor That whole thing impressed me too. I had expected something else based on experience of professional Christians. Forgiveness is a word that immediately gets my guard up because of how it is weaponised so often in church environments.
@MarxOutThere@Asher_Wolf Not all kids can or want to do that. I grew up in the glorious 80s, unable to kick a footy or ride a bike because my body doesn’t work like that. It was miserable, I only wish I’d had ability to connect with other kids like me on SM at that time.
@Asher_Wolf This is my contention. My kids are forced to attend unsafe spaces irl every day. School is not safe- what’s happening about that? Online is where they find happiness and connect with kids like themselves- and they can block the bullies and those who want to cause harm.
@jrq84@disco___cat My kids are relentlessly bullied in real life. On SM they block bullies and have safe spaces with people who build them up. It’s the real life people contributing to their depression and anxiety in our case.
@SOS149 Weird move given the whole sudden not calling him as a witness and the legal implications of such. You’d think having him present now might encourage the defence in making their Jones v Dunkel submissions?
