Twitter is a land where you gotta mute viral threads because people will literally invent words & project feelings that aren't there and argue with them.

It's wild.

Wanted to followup that I’m not talking about someone saying/asking something (maybe unintentionally) harmful & others educating them.

I’m talking about people making up straw man arguments or emotions out of thin air. It happens a lot & just wait until you have 11K followers.

EX: In March, I tweeted that many places were never “open” to disabled ppl because of access barriers & asked if ppl might remember the feeling of not being able to eat out etc & become allies for access.

Someone accused me of “enjoying” abled people being isolated ... um, no.

They literally projected this emotion onto me that I wasn’t feeling & certainly didn’t state anywhere.

Someone else said I was trying to guilt people ...but no, that’s a projection of their feelings because access is not about guilt.

Also love when people attach the word “all” to something when it was never said and make up whole arguments about it lol.

It’s truly exhausting.
