Let's have another thread? A farmer by the name of Jodi called me bitter and stated that she witnessed my bitterness become bigger over the last year. Let's break down what has transpired over the last year where she'd mistake my actions for bitterness shall we?
The murder of Ahmad Arbury. The murder of Breonna Taylor by people meant to protect her. The murder of George Floyd. The constant denigration of Kamala Harris for having a job that is constantly questioned because of her RACE then gender. Let's continue, shall we?
The ignoring of climate change, the constant stream of tweets from people who we trust to grow our food, that speak down or outright disrespect the people that depend on them, and then the support from others who don't believe that, but want me to play nice.
200k+ people who are dead from a virus that this administration knew about, but didn't want to take seriously. Shall I continue? Let's go! When presented with facts, the knee-jerk reaction is to automatically scream that the person is bitter or angry, instead of listening.
It's easy to throw a rock and hide your hand at someone you've never met in real life instead of challenging those you call friend to be better. I've NEVER has a problem calling people out for bad behavior, hence the quoted tweet which can be seen
What I don't have time for at the moment, is another person telling me that nice dialogue is what's necessary in order to move this country forward. It hasn't worked in decades, I'm not sure what it will do now. I mean, MLK was killed wasn't he?
It's hard that the happenings of the last year alone haven't made some people want to flip a table, but when your go-to response to me calling out MISOGYNY is to call me bitter, well, I question your ability to process information.
Speaking to me sharing things that bother me and calling it bitterness is like me calling a farmer bitter because their farms didn't yield what they wanted when they've done everything right. OR because they didn't get subsidies they thought they were due.
If I called every farmer I saw complain about not getting the price for their crop, bitter, my TL would be full of bitter tweets. But spending a good 20 minutes of my time attempting to clarify an already clear statement DOES make my butt itch.
And because I don't do subtweeting, and I KNOW this can end up in some random FB group calling me all types of name, just make sure you call me Natasha, not Nicole, and also know that I' still rooting for Ag to be great.
