  • Black and white thinking is my absolute top gripe about social media as well, and the reason most discussions just aren’t worth participating in.

    Mm, yeah. This is especially true when communicating between different ideologies, but even within them it can be hard to have a nuanced conversation—like the kind where you might not understand or agree with some point that many in your group don’t appear to question.

    Like when the TERF thing first started becoming a big deal, I was lucky to have actually feminist friends, trans and otherwise, to walk me through it and suggest some reading. (Not to go all into it, but at the time I was having trouble discriminating which feminist women I should listen to.)

    Anyway, that’s one of those non black and white convos, which are so hard to have with anyone but actual friends, face-to-face.



  • Great advice for all ages.

    Actually one thing I remember most from being young is older folks (30s to 60s) always giving me all kinds advice, and it did seem smart but also so not, like, meeting me where I was at, at that age (teens, twenties).

    It’s not until like my mid-thirties that I started to rediscover some of the advice I’d heard, and see it bear fruit.

    Anyway, that’s all to say that even if it seems like some kid is ignoring your sage advice, they might just have it on the back-burner until they’re ready.
