Public

I am SO TIRED of people telling me what to think.

"Explains" is in my literal job title. Yet I'm explained-to every minute of every day.

Hundreds of comments a day assuming I don't know how tech works. Hundreds of comments from randos telling me how I should feel about my city being under paramilitary occupation.

Dudes: SHUT UP
