re: cws, uspol, metaphor involving tobacco 

@mur2501

Please understand, I am speaking as someone who in the past few months was triggered, legitimately, to the point where I could no longer function, by un-CWed content.

I had filters (plural) in place, and my feed is already heavily curated, but some individuals managed to bypass those (in one case, by using emoji letters to spell out their message) to make it so I had to log off and stop using Mastodon until I recovered.

The polite thing is to use a CW.

Putting the pressure on those who need the CWs to act so that the impolite can feel better about being impolite is not a conversation that I, personally, wish to continue to discuss.

cws, uspol 

The norm is to CW uspol posts.

Some of my friends are encountering physical health issues from the stress of following uspol events, so maybe give them the opportunity to avoid that without blocking/muting you.

OH! And we love everything from Steven Universe, She-Ra, ATLA, Legend of Korra, and Bojack Horseman to Grey’s Anatomy, This is Us, The Office, and The Crown in this house. 📺

Our chickens were named Razz, Glimmer, Adora, and Catra after crying through the finale of She-ra, and our pup’s name is Ruby from SU 💎

Uh, okay, let’s do an #introduction... toot?

Hiiiii my name is Leila (she/her) ✨ I’m a queer af, recovering academic living with my partner and our 4 chickens, 3 cats, and 1 dog in Alabama. 🏳️‍🌈

I’m a Enneagram 4w3 and my ☀️/🌚/💫 = Scorpio/Aquarius/Taurus.

I like screaming (just in general, but most specifically) about mental health hacks, capitalism, ethics, linguistics + epistemology, radical southern politics, or whatever my ADHD has me hyper-focusing on. 💁🏼‍♀️

Nice to meet y’all! 👋

Keep in mind that the problem is not rioting the US capitol.

The problem is white supremacy. The problem is fascism.
The problem is that black folks are being shot dead for peacefully protesting and asking for their basic human rights to stay alive and have a decent life while whyte supremacists can riot the capitol being applauded and taking pictures with cops without being dead after that.

Imagine, just imagine, if it was black folks who did this riot. If wouldn't have been 13 arrests.

Now the rainy clouds say goodbye and the setting sun paints it with delight :ablobcatangel:

There @JonathanMBR is waiting for rain. Here we are getting unseasonal rain storm :blobcatglare:
Anyway the smell of freshly rained soil pours out lovely memories :ablobcatheartsqueeze:
