saw what i think was a joke at disabled people's expense on here. blocked the guy, mostly moving on. i hate talking about this shit because i always feel like a chronically online whiner for it. maybe i am. but i feel crushed. it just fucking sucks

i am not ashamed to admit that i am a sensitive guy and sensitivity is fucking awesome. being cold and entirely unserious and ironypoisoned is cold and dull and mindnumbing. i've tried it. i prefer hurting. because i prefer caring
yes! emotional management is a skill and they hate to see us winning
there has been a very conscious effort by the right over the past ....forever... to frame people with empathy as whiny and ineffectual, and frame genuine concerns as minor complaints. not that you need my permission but i encourage you to continue being sensitive
