I can hardly go over there now. The hate is pungent. I just keep hoping that bots are partially to blame. Because this Broligarch Dystopia ain't the America I know.
So awful that you had to experience that. Every time I think I start to see the good in people, I learn that there is a whole set of folks who revel in another's pain.
I was trying to think how I could politely ask, when I was in HS (late 80’s/early 90’s) cigarettes were referred to as fags & I never understood why/where this slang came from. Care to enlighten?
It’s been a few years since someone called me that. I was called a Men’s Rights Activist earlier today while defending the Trans / Intersex community, and while it didn’t sting in the same way it was definitely shocking as it came from a TERF, here, on Bluesky 😔 I hope this platform stays inclusive.
It occurs to me that I subscribed to a block list so maybe that's why I haven't run across many. And I'm quick to block. A lesson learned on the other place.
