@Neuroptima's new Strawberry Açaí couldn't have come at a better time! 🍓
My little break is officially over, which means I'm back behind the scenes planning the next chapter of @OhgawdEvents! 👀 AND IT'S TIME TO LOCK IN.
Between tournament planning, brainstorming, and way too many spreadsheets (xD), this is going to be getting a lot of use for these long summer nights to stay focused and energized! ☀️
It's a limited drop, so don't wait too long! Once it's gone, it's gone!
☀️ Make sure to use code "KATE"

& unfortunately not everything is recoverable. some environmental impacts will be permanent. any endangered species we lose? permanent. cutting down the ancient trees? permanent. the chemical pollution? permanent. the climate impacts? permanent. clean water loss? you guessed it
@Neuroptima Presents the Coaches Corner! Tonight 8 coaches will pair up with players who have NEVER played TFT to see who can come out on top 🤝 I will be streaming it so feel free to watch me force samira ornn with my player 🥀 #tft
The fact that so many responses to the elhermano situation obfuscated and downplayed proved the underlying problem. Women are telling us that this behavior is harmful and that it’s emblematic of broader issues in the community.
LISTEN. BELIEVE THEM. Be a part of the solution.
I really hope that the takeaway isnt just the fact that this guy is a terrible individual, and thats why everyone should care.
Myself included, men need to take the time to learn why these kinds of “jokes” are harmful BEFORE this kind of evidence surfaces.
If the next time this happens and you don’t care until a document comes out outting an individual’s character behind closed doors, then what would happen if there was no evidence of them being a problematic individual outside of these kinds of jokes?
What helped me understand this better was to stop evaluating the intent, but evaluating the social distribution of cost.
Elhermano posting“Looking for a TFT girlfriend (serious)” bears none but a woman bears all of it (if she’s not into it he’s joking, but if she’s into it he means it). While he’s given a free exit, she has to decide in real time whether to laugh, ignore, or object, and every option has a downside. That’s decidable from the tweet alone, with zero knowledge of elhermano’s character.
I want to quote something I found that I thought was really insightful:
“Cliff Jerrison coined the phrase “missing stair” to refer to an individual recognized as a problem within in a community, but treated and managed as a feature of it. You just have to teach yourself to leap over that part of the staircase. The problem with this conflict-avoidant approach, Jerrison explained, is that not everyone lives in this particular house with the missing stair. The people familiar with it know how to avoid falling victim; the outsider does not. And they get hurt”
Some useful resources that helped me understand all of this better:

You can say something racist without being a racist.
The discourse in this tweet doesn’t take cultural context into account at all.
Depending on where you are, Europeans sometimes take the word racism/racist (raciste (FR)/rassist (GER)/etc.) much more seriously, typically branding a person’s entire moral character compared to America’s definition where it can be used in a more casual, broader context.
Also I’m not defending Jedusor at all incase someone’s reading this and lacks reading comprehension. I’m just explaining why players cant seem to agree on why this is/isn’t racist
