btw if you’re anti-choice please block me <3

My hot take is that world needs more conversation and less blocking.

I’m 100% pro choice.

And while it’s not my (or ur) job to educate anti-choice, racist, misogynistic, trans or homophobic ppl I do hope as many of them as possible are exposed to my content and views that oppose theirs.

It’s dangerous when ppl live in their own bubbles and echo chambers that other ppl and algorithms only work to enforce. It only feeds to further intolerance and radicalization.

Ofc u’re free to set personal boundaries in social media. But mental health permitting, the wider the audience of ur posts the better.

i have lots of lengthy, nuanced conversations about reproductive rights, trans rights, racism, and other sociopolitical topics. i have them with friends, family members, coworkers, even strangers!

and i love sharing my progressive views and why i hold them, but i have those conversations face to face with people who are receptive, not on tumblr with people who generally aren’t interested in listening. instead, i mostly focus on trying not to interact with those people, because being exposed to their content makes me miserable, and there’s nothing wrong with setting those boundaries

louder for the folks in the back:

… there’s nothing wrong with setting those boundaries

ed-recovery-affirmations:

Boundaries for ED recoverers can look like this:

  • “Please don’t talk to me about your diet, diet culture is not good for me.”
  • “If you continue to make comments about my body, I’m going to walk away.”
  • “I know you’re trying to be helpful, but hearing about your diet tips is not good for me. I am stating a boundary.”
  • “I know you meant it as a compliment, but please don’t focus on my body so much. It makes me feel self-conscious.”
  • “Please don’t make comments about what I eat. It makes me feel extremely self-conscious. If you continue to do this, I will not have meals with you in the future.”
  • “You’re not my therapist/doctor/nutritionist, so your advice is not relevant or helpful to me.”

I might post more as they come to me. Feel free to use these freely and don’t worry about offending others. Your health is your priority!
