feeling just. extremely weary and sad abt people who imo are both wrong and mean in their analysis of oppressive dynamics. also at some level laughing at myself that this is legitimately what's gotten me down. well. also global warming and microplastics.

anyway. not gonna get into specifics bc some of you agree with them, lol, but. i guess i just wish we all focused a little more on staying in our own lanes and articulating our pain in its own context instead of jumping so fucking fast to framing suffering as a zero-sum game and using our own to justify dismissing other people's by comparison.

#i just feel like. for any axis i'm marginalized along #i have zero desire to look at other people and police whether they're less marginalized than me #or decide that people who *are* less marginalized along that axis must therefore have zero ~valid~ pain or difficulty #and it's totally chill for me to talk about them without any empathy #people are almost always dealing with something difficult & anyway i think it's much more useful to discuss the impact of specific behavior #than it is for me to start making sweeping dismissive claims abt someone's identity #or abt more of their experience than i'm actually privy to #that's vague and incoherent bc i'm conflating a bunch of different things that have rubbed me the wrong way recently but like #idk. we're all so fucking traumatized and suspicious and vicious. extremely not healing as an environment and makes me real sad.#like what happened to being careful with one another so we can be powerful as a coalition #anyway. tbd maybe it's just like. you think you're gonna escape yr cisheteronormative nuclear family and Find Community #and then you realize yr cripplingly fucked up and fail to achieve escape velocity and yr ''''community'''' is a bed of pustulent cacti #anyway. time to do some more unfollowing maybe bc a lot of you ARE sweethearts i'm just feeling bruised by some specific discourse
