Remember, EM POC only!

Sleepy as hell again, comrades, but I might as well get this posted up before I go ahead and rest.

That aside, let’s get those weekly EM POC vibes going!

    great point. had some time to think abt this:

    • every action has a level of validity so it, depending on your moral values. helping someone out is very valid, so is fighting back when bullied
    • wishing bad consequences on ppl may not sound like the right or ““correct”” thing to do, but as an expression of your emotions - sympathy, empathy, trauma, etc. - it is a very valid thing to do and should be welcomed
      • and not recognizing that validity - for example, sites that condemn “death to […]”, “violence against […] is justified”, etc. - tends to come from a privileged, white cis hetero perspective of what are and aren’t valid emotions. quite a few lemmygrad.ml users and the lemmygrad.ml mod to me are engaging in this
    • so wishing COVID on someone is valid as a way to say “fuck you” to ppl who not only don’t recognise the harmful consequences of COVID-minimalism but risk spreading COVID and its harmful consequences to other ppl
      • also i don’t think wishing COVID can really be considered an actual threat because how tf can i give you COVID through a computer screen lol
