hot take, personal (-)
Hello, I’d like to stop being the paladin in the group and live a little. I’d like to skip to the part in the hero redemption arc where I’m accepted as the flawed and weird person that I am, instead of everyone thinking I’m wrong or somehow faking it.
Which is another way of saying, I’d like to be more approachable and actually talk about what I like again, but reversing the damage from the past years to where I’m comfortable is kind of hard on me right now.
Weh. ;..;

@Thaminga Yeah. I know for me, it’s difficult to communicate, “I want to make nice things and not participate in interpersonal politics to the greatest degree possible” when so many people were thrown into this climate of trying to politicize everything.
Which is maybe why it’s so important to have spaces like Masto that can let people build with fewer hot tempers and nazis to worry about.
