Grew up in an extreme right wing ‘Christian’ church. It never sat well, even as a kid/teen. I don’t know if I ever considered I was fascist, but certainly had to unlearn a lot of internalised thought patterns. Ended up leaving centralised media a few months ago after realising how much alt-right content was being pushed in my face despite following mostly left leaning accounts and queer creators.

Hopefully. It’ll be both good an bad. Do the majority of people know it exists? Or was it just me living under a rock until a few weeks ago 😂?

2. Thanks everyone, for the very entertaining lunch break read!

While ‘social norms’ promote making fake small talk, my question is, why is this considered normal? You can be polite without forced fake interactions. Spending time reading and learning is worthwhile and increases your knowledge. So yeah, I’d hate having to cater to a needy, demanding co worker, especially when the demand is on a personal level. You have boundaries, good on you.
