@PubertSchlarff @bikrisscross @lucehoneychurch @blackvoices Says the person speaking for all these happy adoptees. 🙄🙄🙄

Jesus Christ I guess qualified immunity applies even when you’re ~pretending~ to be a cop

@ahar_23 @ccbloodworth @DoorDash Agreed, I’m a dasher myself and it’s really easy to communicate with customers in the app.

[Ryan (whats the point) Sladek @rtsladek]

Hey @DoorDash care to explain why my dasher let someone else deliver on their account, left my food two blocks away and then called me a homophobic slur? Wasn’t a very fun time.

@ottoman42 I’m so jealous of all of you who have gotten to play a theremin before.

[Ryan (whats the point) Sladek @rtsladek]

@vatiammatri Exactly!

[Ryan (whats the point) Sladek @rtsladek]

I don’t think the kept will ever understand what it’s like to be cut off from their biology and genetics. It’s such a basic part of the human experience that they take it for granted and discount the impact on those who have been denied genetic mirroring. #adopteevoices

@shlomo7_ky @saturdayobrien Yep yep. Feels like I only know I was sleeping when I wake up the next time. Don’t know if that makes sense haha. It definitely is a cycle

[Ryan (whats the point) Sladek @rtsladek]

@shlomo7_ky @saturdayobrien Love that about blame! It’s hard sometimes to remember that

[Ryan (whats the point) Sladek @rtsladek]

@kim_penn Totally. I personally didn’t even know the impact of *not* having generic mirroring until meeting bio family for the first time.

[Ryan (whats the point) Sladek @rtsladek]

@shlomo7_ky @saturdayobrien Yes all of this. Same to you. I’m currently trying to let go of wanting/needing those needs filled by them and finding fulfillment from myself - which is all easier said than done.

@shlomo7_ky @saturdayobrien 💛💛💛

@shlomo7_ky @saturdayobrien Uh I have one guess. 🙄 That’s so awful

[Ryan (whats the point) Sladek @rtsladek]

@shlomo7_ky @saturdayobrien That’s incredible that she was able to gain a different perspective. It would be neat if any of my a family could but I’m not very hopeful.
