had my first interaction with a wild gen z (read: white terminally online teenager) online and gleaned a lot from a single statement. "Mind my business? This is social media."

i know i bitch and complain about being tossed into cotillion and "social skills" classes as a kid because they are inherently classist and ableist and racist but these wild ass white children need to be taught how to behave. "you put this online so now your entire life is my business" is a hell of a way to try and interact with people.

esp when those people they keep coming after are BIPOC professionals. their parents didnt teach them manners but they did teach them how to harass, bully, and discredit anyone browner than they are. whew.

@glitter Young crackers are still crackers, and they don't give a shit about boundaries because they were taught that they are entitled to the world.

They need a rude awakening.
