FRFR though when I had to be in the office all the time I was completely unable to have any social connections outside my partner sooooooo

I just try to be like "no thanks!" repeatedly haha

Also I think friend has me convinced I nearly never unmask even alone and there's a lot a lot to unpack there.

Don't tell me this is good I mean too weird for me I don't enjoy it

I actually do want you to interrupt and show me things or else I get Too Weird.

don't listen harder, I'll check in if I for some reason need to make sure you're following its fine. I just gotta do a little detour about this one specific historically important perfume while we get back to talking about manufacturing.

The patriarchal family is the core building block of oppressive systems I’ll die on this hill

Yeah tbh I find the using other marginalized people to obscure that the source is a white person especially gross.

This is my deepest held belief honestly

This is not some claim I have no faults or I am always good, but the things that I like most about myself are what make me most vulnerable. I don't want to crush those. So I guess I need to ask my friends to physically fight me next time I consider breaking my own safety rules or something instead

And well, something that is just really rough about this world of normalized domination is that good qualities: empathy, love, generosity, giving the benefit of the doubt are all easily exploitable. People want to believe goodness wins, but it doesn't, we don't live in a just world. Do it anyway

But I have already had to come to terms with the fact I have serious weaknesses baked into my brain wiring. That's why I have hard rules about resource dependency for myself. I almost broke them this time, turns out I am very vulnerable to someone constantly telling me a child is in urgent danger

I thought I had found people and a space that was anti-power, and it turned out it was a recruiting ground to get vulnerable people to do some scene monarchs' dirty work and I fucking fell for it. It's embarrassing to me I can spend so much time learning about coercive control & still fall for it

But like, a lot of people are very, very in denial that they have a Cop Brain, and some of those people also really, really like to show off their exercise of the Cop Brain and claim that they're only doing it out of necessity/solemn obligation and I do not believe that

From their partner, William Gillis' own piece:

"Most people who want to marginalize someone else instinctively use far more efficient tools that are also nebulous. “Hahaha, let’s all make fun of this person.” “Oh she’s so problematic.” “Wait, you actually hang with them? Oh, wow…”"

Of course there are different definitions of poor—I was always housed as a child for instance—but claims I lied about it would be really easy to refute because I simply did not. So they don’t provide evidence that can be refuted. Easy as pie.

I can’t actually think of a single nonwhite person they have beef with they *didn’t* do this about, and I really just do not believe there are that many people faking that! I think nobonzo is just a racist. About me, they claim I faked growing up poor and I have never experienced abuse.
