This thread is located on the traditional cyber-territory of the For'o'for Cyber-Nation! I wish a hearty siha-siha muckachuck to our For'o'for friends!
Now that young Coonlight Graham has returned from re-education camp and has become Progressive Graham, I thought it would be helpful to have a progressive thread, so that we can all share our feelings and experiences in a safe space. Practice our territory acknowledgements, practice pronoun checks, and that sort of thing. Sound good? I thought so.
I'll start. I'm Kimmy (pronouns kimza/kimza) and I identify as kim-gendered. Please respect my pronouns! I want to spend a moment talking about my white privilege, which includes looking really pasty when I go to the beach, as well as getting sunburned quite easily. I'm also a cultural appropriator. I eat Mexican food every week, prepared by the labor of the hard-working, underappreciated Salvadoran women at a local restaurant. I feel bad about this, but also good, because I love tacos.
Feel free to join in! What are you feeling guilty about today? Share your feelings, this is a non-judgmental place. Also, please snap your fingers or do jazz-hands rather than clapping, as some members may be triggered by loud noises.
