the word drama is used to trivialize real problems. drama as a word derives from you know: theater. fictional, fake, false, and exaggerated. when you call something drama, in effect, you are calling the people involved liars.

this isn't a subtoot of any 1 specific person. this is a recurring pattern i see throughout society, not just the fediverse.

when people have real concerns, don't write it off as drama.

in a sense, it's ok to fuck up. you are going to fuck up. everyone is fucking up constantly. just say sorry, sincerely commit to doing better, and make changes. what isnt ok is fucking up and then being dismissive of the people you hurt.

"GREAT!! I'M HORNY AGAIN!!" I screamed, slamming my laptop shut in the packed Starbucks.

it's like a bath, but of smaller animals instead of water. disturbing and fascinating.

did you know about anting? wherein birds cover themselves in ants? anyways, here's a picture of a bird doing this.

If we're aware of and account for this, we can try to defuse this mechanism. Stop. Breathe. Give ourselves a hug or some other soothing action.

This is especially important for white folks like myself. We share an axis of oppression in our queerness, but benefit from our whiteness; when we punch, it's down, not sideways. We've *got* to keep that in mind if we're going to create equity and solidarity. 2/2

I saw this article about trauma on Daily Xtra & thought it was a good read: why are Queer people so mean to each other?

In short: we are hardwired by our oppression to experience "fight or flight" reactions to uncomfortable situations. We're conditioned to think in black and white. It's a survival mechanism ill adapted to modern society. 1/
