grumbling, uspol, "go offline"
Lot of people responding to the shitshow in the US with "you should start moving offline and communicating with friends IRL" and conveniently ignoring that a huge chunk of marginalized folks do not *have* an offline social life and are actually dependent on a safe way to participate on the internet, and not for lack of trying otherwise

@joepie91 I have been trying to communicate this for years and nobody believes that I don't have a support network.
re: grumbling, uspol, "go offline"
@joepie91 telling me to end my online presence entirely is 1:1 equivalent to telling me to off myself in outcome should I actually take the advice

@ben I suspect you're far from the only one for who that is true, unfortunately... which is exactly why that sentiment always pisses me off so much
