miss 🦇 alchemist :

I call it recreational outrage

JustaLilEllieBean 🆘 🇺🇸 :

I think I’m getting ready to just leave the internet for a good while. It’s become intolerable. The people saying Mamdani’s public bathroom are ableist and “abusive” have just about broken my brain.

🏛☀️ 𝖆𝖗𝖑𝖔🌙🏛 :

I live like 20 miles off the northern Cheyenne reservation. I go to school there. to graduate from the school I attend, I have to take Cheyenne language and beadwork. I took Cheyenne language, it was a lovely glass, still love the teacher that leads it, but there's a girl in my beadwork class that told me I shouldn't even be going to school here bc I'm not cheyenne. I'm on track to be fluent in cheyenne, and revive the language, but since I'm white, Ive been torn tf up for it. like ok

Archaea :

How I feel when people say there should be no male obgyns. You want *less* resources in women’s health? You want *less* researchers in women’s health? A field that’s hit particularly hard by the doctors shortage too, people already don’t have enough access to obgyns and you want less of them around 😭

Sasha the Arcane :

We outwoked the moment someone told me to trigger warning my post about picking up prescriptions because mentioning any drug could make someone relapse

Lafayette in Boston :

oh my god THIS. I get this all the time as a historical interpreter. I always say that yes, elevating Black historians and Black voices is the ideal, but if the options are 1) a white person talks about Black history or 2) Black history doesn’t get talked about at all, WHICH ONE ARE WE CHOOSING?

baileyfigueroa :

To be fair, you’ll never actually meet these types of people in professional settings.

badatnames :

Tik tok feels like Tumblr did back in the day except its less fun

Artist Rachel :

I had people who were agreeing with me, actively fighting me. The literacy crisis is full blown.

kitty24670 :

My favorite phrase is “gone so left you turned right”. Because people just want the cookie of moral superiority

dudeperson.com :

my recent one is the amount of people who have went from anti gentrification to sounding completely anti immigration like ohhhh 🤔

hotapplepeye :

Policing history based on ethnicity is actually insane

Janell :

I immediately block people like that. I don't have the brain space to process people that dumb

kief :

I literally laughed and said what out loud

allybeesknees :

The whole point of making sure we learn about black history is because it is part of our combined American history… saying we can’t talk about it because we aren’t black is basically the same as the people trying to remove it from history books..

maddy :

people have gotten to a point where 100% of what they do is done in service of a curated version of themselves created for consumption. their identity as progressive is the thing they value, not actual progressive values

Mars :

ReadingIntoIt :

A lot of people on the internet aren’t real though. A lot of them are bots who are commenting rage bait bc its was programmed to.

KayKay :

Someone told me once that I shouldn’t be saying the word woke- for basically the same reason. Bro everyone uses that word what 😭

🌚 Billy Moon 🌚 :

woke is circling back around towards racial and gender segregation ffs. it's almost like the "left" is a foreign enemy funded internet psyop designed to destroy America from within. recently saw a video that growing and harvesting sage is racist against natives and the plant should be off limits to those of European heritage.

stephanie :

Slightly related but someone once told me, a confirmed Catholic who was born and raised in the church, that I was not allowed to talk about Jesus of I hadn’t read the entire Bible. All because I said Jesus was a brown socialist. The born agains didn’t like that I guess
