Since I& #39;ve already gotten a DM asking me to cool it on the "politics" (we could get into the face that what the privileged call "politics," others call "survival") I should mention that you may as well just unfollow rather than DM. Because, no.

First off, these things matter. If it makes you uncomfortable, sit with that. It& #39;s not happy stuff. It should make you uncomfortable. That& #39;s how we grow, by sitting with and examining that discomfort.

Secondly, I& #39;m too damn old to pretend to be something I& #39;m not.

And lastly, I don& #39;t like being told what to do. Fuck that.

I get that sometimes we need to not see it all. We need to recharge & we miss just seeing goofy memes and cat pics. Take a break from Twitter rather than DMing me, a relative nobody. And remember that some people don& #39;t get to turn it off, because that& #39;s their life.
