1/So hard truths time for me. As I& #39;m inching towards 45k followers I notice (ESPECIALLY on political matters of basic human rights.) that there is always an argumentative person engaging in bad faith in a way that is not meant to open the conversation, but rather to gain access https://twitter.com/FavoriteMewArt/status/1307695891734691841">https://twitter.com/FavoriteM...
