there is no moral high ground in gritting your teeth and putting up with the things that worsen your mental health. there is no strength to be proven in having a thick skin. if you want to debate with people of opposing views, understand that that is voluntary *work*, not duty.

i block often and i block early because it's the only curation left in the modern internet where everybody is piled up in the same commercial service rather than there being an ecossystem of websites i could just avoid going to instead

my level of trust in linux is that i have to wait for my laptop to fully shut down before i close it because otherwise i just know if i close it while it's trying to shut down then the sleep command will take over instead

Someone QTd in German and I just had to share it here in English:

For cis people, socialization and privilege operate as a teacher-student relationship.

For trans people, it's a violence-trauma one.

Don't mistake our traumatic responses for "privilege" and "socialization."

Trans femmes were never “socialized male,” and do not have “male privilege.”

My socialization was bullying and mass societal abuse of the core of my being.

I was socialized “terrified,” and my privilege was to “hide myself until I die.”
