Love it when I’m ridiculed for showing passion during the discussion of politics 🫡
This idea that politics and any discussions surrounding important topics such as Zionism, genocides, racism, classism, and anything that might bring discomfort needs to be sterile and completely dispassionate is absurd. The inclusion of empathy and compassion and anger and sadness and joy are what enable us to talk about these things and to realize that what is happening is harmful and the denial of these feelings is simply another form of silencing. It is basically saying that if there is feeling attached then the point being made is irrational and therefore incorrect. Whatever facts, empirical or otherwise, are immediately discredited due to the tone of voice or facial expression that might be present.
Also, it’s another way of closing off conversation from people. If you can’t hold a conversation without being ridiculed, then people are less inclined to speak about it. I understand that important conversations are uncomfortable and must be so to be productive, but it can be disheartening to constantly experience disrespect, even though we know that conversations must keep happening.
I’m just sensitive though, so what do I know.

i have experienced the full possible range of human emotion in the past hour i think, but honestly if the universe decided to balance out the scales and be a little softer, i can only be grateful. i'm saving this just because...there isn't a way to succinctly explain why the fob collab is as special as it is to me, or the memories speak now holds (coming out right when i was starting to recover), or the vital feelings attached to all this. and people think i'm silly when i say music is an actual force in my life and spiritually, cosmically connected to everything
