fun exercise: watch summer wars and use your tech knowledge to justify what they do in the virtual world instead of using it to dismiss it as "unrealistic"

Nobody saying enjoying problematic/toxic media is bad and you’re bad for doing it. Just experience your pleasure in its proper historical and cultural context. That’s it.

It's important to keep that in mind. Different backgrounds lead to different gaps in understanding.

Not everyone can do college. Not everyone can even finish high school.

And that doesn't make you any less of a comrade or am equal.

As long as you're willing to be kind and hear people out, that's good.

And if you do have that knowledge, great, we need that too! But as long as you're not judging people for not knowing what you've spent years studying, that's what's important.

Just a very very broad subtoot.

Not at one person, not at one instance. Just an overall attitude I've seen permeating.

You're not better than someone else because of your education. And that doesn't make you the only one allowed to speak or have the last word.

And you're also not lesser than someone for NOT having that information. You and your heart are just as valued and needed. And I want to hear your input.

Lets love each other better.

I dunno, but i just feel we need a better structure of inferred rules of decency and trying to move beyond anger, that we pass on to those joining because thanks to point 1, our trauma, we are always going to find good logical excuses as to why its fine actually for us to be so hateful, but its not good for us.

@mxsparks the only thing i can think is we need more systems in place that are like.. gentleman's honour, the pirates code, honour among thieves.. but for being trans.

At some point we have to try and take our foot off the peddle of continually attacking and eviscerating everything that upsets us. We have to take stock of the fact that 1. We are traumatised. 2. There will always be thousands of newly out people joining the fray seeing enemies all around them for the first time ever looking for anything that will momentarily pull them out of experiencing this acute pain they've pushed down all their lives.

i want to go to a therapist but i don't know an easy way to find thearpists of color that take medicare. if anyone has ideas please hit me up. i don't want to talk to a white person about my problems, especially after having tried it before and not being understood at all

CWs, Blocks & Mutes are the Knives, Forks, & Spoons of the fediverse. Expecting everyone to eat w only 1 utensil isn’t realistic. Use all the silverware you were given and stop eyeballing others’ plates.

Lastly, I dont know when community building, working together and supporting each other turned into expecting other ppl that you don't interact with to the heavy lifting of taking responsibility for your own trauma.

that to me is toxic. strangers on the internet and your community spaces aren't the dumping grounds for your trauma, and neither are you for theirs.

Hello, Human The Being here, reporting for IMA Real Person With Feelings news.

This just in, so i do totally understand why for some peeps, transitioning has made me into symbol of gender binary / passing / transmedicalism / anti-genderqueer / head-cheerleader for them to be upset by.

But like, can those people just not follow me rather than tell me how much my existence is ruining their happiness?

people out here going "where's the next miyamoto???" like he hasn't been making movies since 2006...

they! are you talking about your nonbinary friend? plural friend[s]? a group of people? doesn't matter!

we! are you talking about a group of people? you and your partner? your plural system? maybe you are royalty? you have a parasite? doesn't matter!

it's all good. english as a language has a lot of ambiguity. it's fine. use what people want, don't get hung up on it, and be ok with a little ambiguity in your comms. it won't hurt you.
