What's Bothering You?

[Mikaiah]

Things that make me panic include
- whether "bar" is actually "bara" or "barg"
- whether "meter" or "m" mean the same thing or not
- if "gal" is "ImpGal" or "gallon" < especially fun when you have to guess which one the manufacturer meant
- if I'm getting the distinction between "kW" and "KW" correctly.

"Pride month" is here and the framing of a bunch of very diverse/different people as anything approximating a "community" is bothering me as much as ever.

Made up scenarios that involve some past distressing experiences. Keeps on replaying in my mind like a tape recorder.

Also still upset about what happened the other day with my mom.

What happened ?!

What happened ?!

Well, it was the usual I suppose - my mom was being narcissistic and was relentless about it. Though yesterday's incident just still clings to me. Just mocking me in the car and saying that I couldn't do it, etc. Things like that. ;|

Spoiler: politics.

The audacity of a lot of people on social media to assume that everybody cares about their opinion. I understand the need for good activism and for people to understand the issues, but most of the posts I've seen about the issue seem more performative than anything, like people are trying to prove that they're woke instead of actually doing anything. Particularly, well-meaning white people who are posting stuff like "we should listen to POC" and then proceeding to post their own angry rants instead of letting POC speak their mind or, at the very least, share things from a POC perspective. Part of my frustration may just be me being tired of seeing these posts, but this is also coming from somebody who's been in toxic activist circles full of people who don't necessarily care about minority rights and are more or less just angry people using social justice as an outlet for their frustrations. Which I understand, to an extent. It's hard when you want to do the right thing and you feel guilty that you can't do anything about it. Lashing out at people feels like you're getting something done. But it's not that simple and it never is. Sometimes we have to accept that we can't solve every single injustice on our own, no matter how mad it makes us. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. We just have to understand how that gets done and channel our anger into efficiency and productivity.
