Anyway, whatever, I'm cranky
"I was a bleeding heart liberal before ppl started correcting the things I said wrong" more like"correcting" and "treating someone like they're an actual evil bigot for a slip-up" are two very different things but otherwise same
Anyway, whatever, I'm cranky
hoping some (not all) of y'all can learn one day that every slight incident of possible political incorrectness is not equitable to legitimate and unabashed hatred. maybe stop policing every teeny tiny thing you perceive to be the most minuscule microaggression possible when the offending party obviously meant no harm and save some of the energy behind your clearly passionate commitment to social change for the actual bigots who are out there trying to take people's rights away, spewing hate speech, and committing actual hate crimes? one poorly worded statement and I've got half a dozen angry teenagers jumping down my throat like I'm the goddamn cheeto in chief himself; then boom. no matter how many times I try to apologize or try to show that I am learning ...i wasnt trying to be mean to you. i was just saying that it IS a definition in the dictionary and provided a link for you to see that although sure it may be a new idea for some older people, it's a perfectly acceptable pronoun to use for a single person. i am sorry you feel dogpiled on that wasnt my intention. i was just trying to teach you something so it may bother you less to respect people next time. i dont dislike you, i just tell people this ALL THE TIME as i am a gender fluid and nonbinary person and constantly getting disrespected by people using your exact argument. its a valid pronoun. thats all im saying. being a progressive person means being...progressive. you need to open yourself up to learning about our evolving generation. we're all voting age now. it's time to stop the disrespect. online and offline. once again though, i meant no disrespect towards you. i was trying to form a counterargument. that is all.

I'm just tired of kids ten or more years my junior ostracizing me like I've committed some big unforgivable hate crime when it was simply poor wording or an unintended incident of political incorrectness on my part. I appreciate your civility and don't feel like you were being mean at all, like I said I am learning but some people seem like they just want to spew hate at potential allies for even the most minor infractions upon their sociopolitical ideologies. Us leftists have to stick together if we ever want to have any hope at implementing real social change, and delivering the same energy at well-intended people who just happen to be a bit behind on the times as one would towards actual belligerent racists, homophobes, etc. only seeks to divide us further when in all reality we are fighting for much the same cause. By all means educate others and speak up in the face of ignorance, but only give hate where hate is due, y'know?hoping some (not all) of y'all can learn one day that every slight incident of possible political incorrectness is not equitable to legitimate and unabashed hatred. maybe stop policing every teeny tiny thing you perceive to be the most minuscule microaggression possible when the offending party obviously meant no harm and save some of the energy behind your clearly passionate commitment to social change for the actual bigots who are out there trying to take people's rights away, spewing hate speech, and committing actual hate crimes? one poorly worded statement and I've got half a dozen angry teenagers jumping down my throat like I'm the goddamn cheeto in chief himself; then boom. no matter how many times I try to apologize or try to show that I am learning ...i wasnt trying to be mean to you. i was just saying that it IS a definition in the dictionary and provided a link for you to see that although sure it may be a new idea for some older people, it's a perfectly acceptable pronoun to use for a single person. i am sorry you feel dogpiled on that wasnt my intention. i was just trying to teach you something so it may bother you less to respect people next time. i dont dislike you, i just tell people this ALL THE TIME as i am a gender fluid and nonbinary person and constantly getting disrespected by people using your exact argument. its a valid pronoun. thats all im saying. being a progressive person means being...progressive. you need to open yourself up to learning about our evolving generation. we're all voting age now. it's time to stop the disrespect. online and offline. once again though, i meant no disrespect towards you. i was trying to form a counterargument. that is all.
It's 2020 and I'm still not over the fact LMFAO was composed of an uncle and his nephewWuh OoO
On a lighter note a little tree frog somehow found his way into my house and it was the most delightful unexpected guest. Had to wake my gf up to get it back outside where it belongs because I'm too slow to catch them but I'm just glad I found it before my three cats did!
