okay yeah i think it's resentment specifically. wow. everything i feel resentful about feels explosive and tricky to talk about and that's *part of the resentment*, that i feel like i have to be so incredibly careful and skilled for it to not blow up in my face

i've been feeling blocked wrt twitter for months now - like it shocks me how much better my tweets were in 2019 and 2020 when i didn't feel blocked, i just don't tweet fire anymore - and maybe it means i have a new set of things to unsuppress related to anger and resentment

just an internet stranger but I hope this strikes you as earnest: why is the talking this out publicly important? Could you be asking too much for Twitter to be a place where you can get benefit of the doubt while being messy about sensitive topics? Why not vent with yr bros etc?

i've been talking about it privately and it's been good but there's something extra i'm craving from talking about it publicly. i want to see if i can do it and have it land properly, partly for others' sake, partly for mine

Doing so is probably impossible on any social media platform, in part because the proliferation of bad faith actors & the tendency of otherwise reasonable people to rush to judgement conflates real grievance with manufactured culture war agitprop. It's easy to resent unreality.

wait this actually sounds like a great idea, think voice would help a lot hmm thinking about whether it'd be even better to pull in a third person or if that's too complicated hey
