12 years ago when I joined Telegram, long ago that I had an entirely different username, phone number, etc, much of my content revolved around edginess. Contrariness, standing against the tide, whether Left or Right. And much of my time being on the Left continued that trend.
But now I am a parent, and I want nothing more than a kinder world for them. And I have lost enough people I claimed to care about with "tough love" that didn't need to be. And in the past few months I've asked, more often that I'd wanted to, "would I be embarrassed to admit what I'm posting here?"
I am exhausted by the weight of a face that isn't mine. The world is already ugly enough.
So this year I resolve to be fearlessly kind.

I did realize this morning that I am, unironically, a part-Jewish, part-Romany, and nonbinary leftist druid, and I'm sure to a right-winger this definitely sounds like the psyop from hell.

I was going to say the only box I don't check for them is I'm not disabled, but FUCK, I'm autistic, too. 😂
