@sunsetmoth hi sunset. thank you for popping in here to basically prove my point by correcting me on a post in which i talk about white people correcting me.
may i point out Things:
- you make the assumption that i needed correction in these instances, you assume the correction is justified
- you assume that i am "looking for a free pass" aka some kind of handout
- you assume that the world of the internet is color blind
your post is an example of white supremacy in action.
pls consider.
just a psa to no one in particular, bc this keeps happening to me and it's really frustrating:
white people, please consider that when you correct the word usage or provide brusque corrections of someone from another culture, you're punching down.
pretend every other sentence that you said was interrupted by someone telling you that you're wrong. now. pretend this is continuous and unavoidable.
that's how it often is to be a minority in a white space. the fediverse is a white space.
@feathers @feathers @AudreyJune tbh, i tend to consider yearning, beautiful melancholy to be what darkness is. at least in my culture/background - darkness is often beautiful, it's not some dangerous or looming thing. ill make a leap and guess that you equate darkness = evil. this... isn't a universal value.
chronic pain, frustration (-)
there are few things that i imagine can make someone more cantankerous than constantly feeling like you have nails being hammered into your body in various places
i try my best to not be an asshole, and i don't make apologies when i fall short. with that said, i wish there was a button i could push to share my agony with others sometimes to create some kind of forced empathy for the shit that i have to deal with.
i appreciate it when @Chel reads spam out loud to me
no, really i do; honestly. there's nothing like a dramatic reading of scam emails to really bring joy to a dreary day tbh
@AudreyJune OMG
SAAAAAMMMEEEEEEEEE
@AudreyJune for the record, i absolutely love Vivaldi's Four Seasons
if you want something with stronger violin play and a slightly darker vibe, check out the variant composed by Max Richter:

@cheyenne im down for this technicality

i'm a gay raven. sometimes a gay cat. i like technology, corvids, good stories, long walks on the beach, and destroying the patriarchy. all before breakfast.
i'm fairly antisocial but if you're interesting and nice then probably i'll be a good friend to have around.
