God this is depressing. What kind of world do we live in and when will we start creating a better one?

I always knew but I was outed by my former best friend. We were sitting at a lunch table in high school and she suddenly yelled “You just checked out that girl! Just come out as bi already; we all know it.”

I was deeply ashamed when she did that and it took me awhile to be comfortable with it. I distanced myself her after that. She also had drug issues so it wasn’t going to work out for multiple reasons.

I wouldn’t go back either. It’s just so much nicer here. I’ve also started following rss feeds and the information is just higher quality and more interesting than the stuff I saw on Reddit.

I’m assuming you don’t mean parechovirus so what’s pev?

I grew up in a house with parents who always taught us equal rights for all. My mom avoided churches where women were banned from leadership positions and served as a leader in different capacities at different points in my life. One of my brothers ended up baptist for some reason and I can’t figure it out. He’s racist, homophobic, and a misogynist. Complete opposite of how we were raised. It’s so sad.

There have been several times I’ve wanted to post on here and haven’t because I’m worried about how people are going to treat me for a single post. It’s hard to come out of that thinking on here and actually participate.

For sure! It’s so frustrating. I didn’t get any assistance as a kid so it wasn’t a shock for me when I became an adult. My niece and nephew though…they’re growing up with a lot of assistance that won’t be there very long. I hope by the time they grow up resources for adults will actually be around.

This is such a joke.

I feel like everyone needs to get together and protest by going dark. It’s not just about people using a third party because it makes them happy. There are real issues with how Reddit is handling itself and their lack of accessibility features is deplorable. I know they said they’re going to offer exemptions to apps that do accessibility but I have no hope they mean it.

Agreed! There’s just no need for it. I’m glad this place is different in that regard.

This is one of my biggest fears.
