Is there a keyboard shortcut for this?

(I thought at first you didn't get what I meant and was all set to explain myself and then, a sudden flash of awareness: that's the shortcut, stupid.)

sorry the above is related to me just now discovering the world of Bari Weiss, which led me to Alison Roman, who I'd never heard of and ... I just can't keep up with all this

As much as I like being called an absurd fantasist for calling this person’s behaviour what it is while they continue to tell us all that we’re the problem, there is really no point in people clutching their pearls itt without using the tools available to them.

I'm sorry I started this whole thing ...

I really don't like pile ons against posters but considering my role in starting this mess, I am just stepping back and not fighting this battle.
― sarahell, Sunday, 21 February 2021 18:28 (three years ago) link
I'm sorry I had an incoherent meltdown in there, sarahell. I was trying to avoid it because it doesn't help anyone, but I just couldn't take it. Fwiw, I don't think anyone's mad at you now - I wasn't ever angry with you, just upset, and I get your explanation, it's cool.
But "my cruelty is feminist praxis" is the biggest load of bullshit and it needs to be called out. I am so tired and so miserable and it all feels so awful.
― emil.y, Sunday, 21 February 2021 18:41 (three years ago) link
Christine and gyac and emil.y and harbl are 100% otm in that thread and anyone with a passing familiarity with these posters will know it is, like, breathtakingly disingenuous to pretend that what they are objecting to are statements criticising cisheteropatriarchy and not yknow the things they say they are objecting to, viz the specific shitty behaviour of a consistently horrible and toxic person xp otm again
― jammy mcnullity (wins), Sunday, 21 February 2021 18:43 (three years ago) link
Seconded Emily - Sarah, you apologised, and that’s all that needed to happen. That the person digging their heels in and arguing for their right to be cruel - and that some of us are abusive fantasists - is nothing to do with you.

Can we go back to the original discussion again? The original original one?
― A Scampo Darkly (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 21 February 2021 18:46 (three years ago) link
Regularly causing pain to women and non-binary people seems to be fine if you can caricature them as servants of the kyriarchy. But we're not.
― emil.y, Sunday, 21 February 2021 18:48 (three years ago) link
Why certainly, I see no barriers in conducting a good faith discussion with someone who’s attacked my perception of reality and my mental stability!
― scampless, rattled and puce (gyac), Sunday, 21 February 2021 18:48 (three years ago) link
This was about human decency imo. You all were right to call it out.
― A Scampo Darkly (Le Bateau Ivre), Sunday, 21 February 2021 18:48 (three years ago) link
I really did end up crying my eyes out after my last post, and I'm still upset. I don't know why I had such an emotional reaction from that 1000 paragraph subtweet, but I did.

Oh. I was using "subtweet" as a generic term, sorry. What I was referring to was only on here.

I'm sorry, Christine. I've never seen you be anything other than a good, kind person on these boards, and you don't deserve to be made to feel this way.
