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

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.

My cats try to eat the yarn instead of being helpful. Then it’s all wet when I use it.

This is one of my biggest fears.

Genuinely don’t know; why is it divisive?

I got a job in R&D and it’s great. I also work for a great company so there’s that. I lead the Neurodivergent Support Group for my company! I really got lucky as I realize so many of us have issues with employment.
