Resisting the urge to further defend OA fans on Twitter because if you get it you get it and you experience the community and if you don’t you don’t and it’s a legit to each their own

Protest has always for me been as much about the feeling of communitas and shared worldbuilding, feeling less lonely in my longing for justice.

The OA cancellation was an activating catalyst for fans, who I definitely feel a shared kinship with online, to come together in physical space and use somatic practice to impact physical reality rather than passively receive media

I think that’s cool as hell. I would have gone to the nyc flash mob if I wasn’t doing mutual aid work elsewhere. You can do both! You can be moved by a tv show and do other organizing.

I think some people are critical because they think that energy could be used elsewhere, which they express on Twitter with energy that OTHERS probably think would be meter used elsewhere

Had a long-time follower block me yesterday for posting something political they didn't like.
Them: "You should be focusing on *shit I talk about all the time*."
(Not that it was any of their business, but this made it funnier.)
Me: "Fine, if you wanna grind axes..."
*Blocked*

I can understand mockery or scorn or trying to convince me to reconsider, if what I said seemed dumb to them.
But trying to do all three at once and only succeeding in pissing yourself off...?
Y u do dis, people?

One of the finest examples of pointless time-wasting and gratuitous self-injury I've seen in a while.
I'm still sort of impressed, thinking about it now. Like, what did they achieve?
