politics, "civility"
As a bit of context for those who are unfamiliar: "civility" is a tool of oppression. It doesn't consider whether any harm is done at all, only whether the (pretty much arbitrary) requirements of decorum and appearances are met.
In other words: it explicitly permits any harmful behaviour as long as it appears superficially polite and 'professional' enough. As long as it's plausibly deniable enough.
And it punishes those who speak out loudly or emotionally about being harmed, because that doesn't meet the standards of decorum.
It's a favourite staple of conservatives, as well as naive "reach across the aisle" centrists.
And when someone's view on moderation is all about "civility", also a pretty damn reliable signal that they *cannot* be trusted to protect vulnerable and marginalized folks.

I captured an intimate moment for these two American Crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) at a park near my house in #Seattle.
While #crows have a reputation for being jerks, I like this image for showing they have a tender side as well. I observed long enough to know he's not actually poking her eye out; this was an example of "allogrooming" behavior for your science word of the day. You're welcome.
