weaponized snark
The next person who I hear tell someone else "your feelings are valid" or some other wishy-washy line of buzzwords instead of actually engaging a friend's feelings in a non-HR capacity is going to end up pondering the positive, empathetic peer-choice-orientation goal of a zebra-hoof-peer-face-encounter situation. :)
Believe it or not, this is not a subtoot. Just a frustration that came up in an outside conversation. I'm sure it's not the last you'll hear from me about it.

@zebratron2084 I hear and accept your feelings on this matter, and support them as valid.

@green @zebratron2084 (to be clear, I recognize that was a joke, but it was /very/ on-point, so...more a sympathetic one. :-) )
