I knew they looked familiar.. ๐
One of us, one of us.. ๐๐
And yet, instead of just scrolling on and ignoring it, hiding the post, or even blocking me, each of which or even all together would have taken a couple of clicks at most, you decided that taking the time to let everyone know was a better use of your time.
Had you even considered that no one cares that you don't like a completely inconsequential thing? ๐
Snailmail (as in chainmail lol)
Now that is a celebration I can get on board with lol
Good on you, keep at it as long as you are able, those who are in danger and stuck in the most dangerous places need to see someone sticking up for them the most. โ
Same, I'd read it quite a while back and it was an eye opener, and "we want accomplices not allies" stuck with me, a few interactions I'd had recently made me want to post it lol
It's a shame that those who need to read it most won't, or will but find ways to distance themselves (like "oh, well this is about being an ally to Indigenous people so it doesn't apply to me, someone who claims to be any ally to [insert other marginalised group here]") as if these principals can't or shouldn't be applied universally and across the board..
In any case, definitely a must read.
That's how they get you!
