so...cheer up, 'k?

I beg y’all please help or share 🙏🏿 Lost my job June 16 alongside 2 Black employees and I’m currently facing an urgent utility hardship. My electricity has been disconnected since June 24, leaving me without refrigeration, cooking access, or laundry.

I’ve been surviving on peanut butter sandwiches since I can’t store food, and I can’t run a fan or AC in this heat. A friend has been bringing me a charged portable charger daily so I can keep my phone on and apply for jobs. I’ve honestly been bawling my eyes out trying to get through this and figure things out.

Electric Bill: $664/$1,934.80

If they feel offended, it's your fault for not being more nuanced or specific or tactful in your wording.

If you feel offended, it's your fault for being too sensitive, too woke, too thin-skinned.

.

Person: "How dare you support humans whose sexual orientation I despise?"

Same exact person: "How dare you claim that I'm being homophobic?"

.

Person: "How dare you suggest that our society is set up to benefit white people? Aren't you aware of the crime statistics?"

Same exact person: "How dare you claim that I'm racist for parroting statistics without doing any analysis on how the categories were created or discussing the material conditions that affect various demographics?"

.

Person: "I didn't say that every single member of my demographic is better than every single member of all other demographics, I just strongly implied it."

Same exact person: "How dare you say that my demographic does bad things? You have to qualify that to say that *some* members of my demographic do this thing, and you have to point out every single person in every other demographic who does anything similar, or else you're being biased against me."

.

Person: "Why would you do it that way? You need to do it the way that I think it should be done!"

Same exact person: "The way I'm doing it works for me. You need to stay out of other people's business!"

.

Anyway, this is a reminder to neurodivergent people that we don't have to internalize every criticism of what we're doing or how we're doing it. Bullies weaponize offensiveness.
