I understood her argument as advocating for opting first for calling-in with other leftists and well-intentioned others, not as advocating for never calling-out anyone ever.

I understood her to mean that calling-in can reinforce community behavioral expectations in an educational and edifying way, while calling out is often exclusionary and punitive and can accidentally reinforce oppressive systems, so we should call-in within our communities.

if this interpretation is incorrect, or if it is correct but the thesis is problematic in some way, please lmk. I will delete the post.

genuinely moved by this sentiment and grateful for it thank you for thinking of me.

thank you for thinking of me.

info on Foucault’s ban can be found here, including screenshots from the mod chat argument that precipitated the ban

is this copypasta or did you write it?!

it’s perfect

seems like a waste to just light one and let it burn in the room while I do other stuff

I finally finished the holiday cooking and baking last night, and today I get to be a treat elf in my silly hat

and have my favorite kind of social encounter: I appear bearing gifts, recipients are surprised and delighted, then I quickly gtfo 😂

then I’m going to go hang out with my little brother ❤️ (he turns 41 this week!) maybe play video games?

Merry Christmas ❤️ hope you have a wonderful day and don’t regret the wine too much! 😉

🤔 is he also against capital punishment or is it the extra-judicial nature of this killing that is troublesome?

same

the most medically vulnerable people in my life are also the worst anti-maskers

yeah it is! wtaf

hope 2025 is kinder to you ❤️

I wish I knew a cigar guy irl. I don’t particularly like to smoke them, but I love the smell of cigar smoke.

🤔 wonder if there’s cigar smoke incense?

okay, definitely don’t steal medicine, but also this seems really sweet? this reads like he knows she loves him unconditionally, and he treasures that knowledge. ❤️

I’m happy that he knows he has someone in his corner no matter what. we should all be so lucky!

edit: I don’t know the song at all though, maybe it’s gross to perform for your grandma 🤷 idk. I just think of my elderly relatives seeing the younguns dancing and singing and loving it, and (ignoring the “thanks for the pills!” part) this seems innocent and sweet to me.

But his good looks and what was widely viewed as a good cause contributed to a second online eruption, this time in support of someone accused of fatally shooting an unarmed and unsuspecting father of two in the back. It appeared that for some, handsome is as handsome does, whatever it does.

And if you’re broadcasting your offer of help in the thread, it’s probably stopping other people from helping

concern about this is why I’ve never mentioned helping anyone in their threads

I know this isn’t why you made this post, but I’m really sorry I haven’t been able to help you more. I worry about you often.

anyone reading this considering helping OP, please do. though they’d deserve our help even if they weren’t, they’re a genuinely lovely person who has been dealt a horrifyingly bad hand by life and is forced to live in severe poverty to get any government assistance, without which they would literally die.

the few gift cards I’ve been able to send here and there for groceries made a real difference, and I know it would make a huge difference if you sent one, too.

Hope y’all have better parents than mine

I do not.

solidarity, comrade.
