62. Yes we do

Apr 2022

Empathy has been lacking and dying in this country for decades... But sure seems to have taken severe steps in the wrong direction thanks to a few key people - namely, Newt "Contract ON America" Gingrich, Rush "Excrement in Broadcasting" Limbaugh, and of course Tronald "Fuck your safe space!" Jrump. I don't know how much more this society can take, honestly.

So many people here are blind to what we do face... every frigging day. Society. Our own families. Our so-called "friends". Then we come here and... see more. Get told to shut up. Get told to take it in stride. No big deal. Quit asking for ponies. Etc... Again, more lack of empathy.

Sometimes tells me the cishets here wouldn't much like it if they faced as much shit as we do.
