it’s a shame booping will disappear after today because we don’t even have time to invent good discourse. some examples i just thought of: it’s predatory to boop a minor if ur over 18, it’s encouraging violence, it places responsibility on others to return a boop which they don’t owe you

if you boop someone enough times you can deactivate their blog

All it means when people say “you’re speaking from a place of privilege” is that you’re likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. It’s not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.

How many Germans does it take to change a light bulb? 

(As told to be by a German colleague)

“One! Because we are very effective and don’t have a sense of humor!”

learning that people want you in their lives is a skill you can develop if it does not come naturally

my blog is a safe space for me. the rest of you are in danger i think

you know i don’t think we often talk about how difficult it actually is to suddenly realize that a belief you thought was good and moral and correct was actually really fucking toxic. how you have to look at something and go ‘oh shit, oh i fucked up. oh this is going to take probably years at minimum to deprogram from my brain because of all the little ways this shit pervaded the rest of my beliefs’

so. to all the people picking up all the pieces of a recently shattered world-view and trying to figure out what is safe to keep and what has to be thrown away and started over

to all the people having to relearn how to even listen to other people

to all the people putting in the work to do better while struggling with the guilt that comes from finding out you were the asshole

i’m proud of y’all.

it’s hard to admit being wrong and even harder to change in the aftermath. just keep doing the best you can and just know that the effort is appreciated. everyone can change. everyone can do better. keep fighting.
