I’m sorry y’all. I see a lot of shit. As a social worker and as an organizer. A lot of people say fucked up things when they’re hurting and it’s very apparent when people are hurting sometimes.

“Holding someone accountable” five minutes after they’ve harmed is very very rarely successful.

I want to say more but I won’t because it’s clear that I have the unpopular opinion on this.

Or maybe I should say my unpopular opinion???

When you don’t value your life or even your mental health it can make it really easy to make callous or heartless jokes about yourself. That doesn’t mean you should make them about others, but do mentally ill people do that? Yes, and frequently.

I’m of the belief that if I see a working class Black woman who appears to be struggling, especially one who I know to be friendly and/or kind, I’m not going to take joy or glee in watching her demise. I’m not going to be happy about her losing a job during a pandemic.

If that makes me wrong, fuck it I don’t want to be right. What she said was wrong. Okay. What are we going to do now. What are you doing now? How are you supporting others during this terrible time? Have you called electeds today? Have you donated to any funds?

Have you followed any orgs? Have you written to anyone on the inside? Have you talked to your neighbors? Maybe treat that shit with the same sense of urgency that you do this. And I said what I said. If you wanna argue with my mentally ill Black ass you can...

when all of this is over.

“I knew she was evil..” “I knew she would say this” “How can anyone even talk to her” I’m sorry what?!?! You don’t know anyone on here??? You have this shit to say now but didn’t yesterday???

I’m done. I’m enjoying my one day break.
