So my tweet from yesterday super blew up. Reminder that if you're just learning about something shitty a person has done, it doesn't mean that the messenger just learned. It also doesn't mean that it's the only shitty thing that person has done.
And also, if you're just learning now, take a step back to consider why you're only learning now, if it's not new.

Is it because you don't expose yourself to marginalized voices enough? Are you not listening? What systems are in place that are making it hard for you to know?
Also, if you decide to take it personally when the messenger shares something shitty someone has done, pause. Reflect. Why do you feel like it's about you? Is it explicitly about you, or does the message perhaps instead threaten a system of power you benefit from?
