Emails and meetings and shaking hands and getting coffee its just like. Let’s pretend not to be humans for a while. we’re not friends and we never will be so we have to act like friendly androids for some reason
All last week i was dealing with the agony of rejection from not getting email responses this week i have the agony of getting responses and having to schedule meetings about them
Having ur main emotional response be crying is so embarrassing like ill be trying to explain why im mad or ill try having a serious convo abt smthn that upsets me and ill start crying like a baby and i have to like turn around and go “i am not crying 4 pity or to emotionally manipulate u im crying cuz im a little bitch, give me a sec”
Like we all want a better less carceral future, that means you have to stop engaging in carceral logic around these conflicts and like understanding that nuance exists and that trying to make people disappear socially is carceral logic. We need to do better if we are going to create a better world. Instead of just constantly hurting and traumatizing each other. We have to try to make an effort to understand each other and interact in good faith. Including myself, I can absolutely be reactive but it’s so important to breathe and think: is this right? Who is being harmed? What is actually happening? Please murder the cop inside your mind.
