😭 needed to see this little thread bc I stepped out with a political thing today and got kind of nipped at by someone I know and respect but who wants my political thing to be a different thing and is just really really underwhelmed by me and need me to understand that, like, all the way.

Oh no that's so hard!!!! There is so much to be doing right now, that if someone is picking up the slack anywhere I'm just grateful to them. But we are also all worn RAW and I think friendly fire is more common than usual. 💓

And a lot of the people I'm blocking are the ones who reply to everything that anyone else is doing with a list of reasons they should be doing something else/why it won't work. And that is one thing I DO NOT think is productive. Find someone to help & help them, man. It's not that complicated.

blocking does not even mean I don't like someone. it may just mean our posting styles are incompatible. sometimes it means that I know that they are annoying me out of all proportion to anything they have done & they don't deserve the risk that I'll snap and try to drive an elbow into them one day

and I AM A VERY STRONG FLAVOR. lol Please, if I annoy you (and I can not *imagine* that there are not a great number of people out there who find me annoying, I am Officially A Lot) block without hesitation! I will probably not notice, if I do I'll be like "good boundaries, pal, godspeed"

sometimes one picks a thing that is not immediately useful because it is what is immediately *available* and what will keep one encouraged to do the more useful things! (especially when one, coughmecough, has a lot of anxiety and a lot of skill in talking oneself out doing ANYTHING)
