i block & mute ppl for so many different reasons every day. it’s been like this since i hit like 10k on twitter. it’s only just now that some dudes on twitter are starting to get pissed about it. what right does anyone have to my time or attention?

this shit detracts from my desire to ever educate or try again. it’s a never ending loop of “make an educational vid, some asshole makes sexist comments, point out sexist comments on twitter, get sexist hate for pointing that out, get sexist hate for pointing that out, get sexist hate for pointing that out…” on & on & on & on

so maybe i should shut up & do the videos? but even then. even then. i have ppl saying shit like “her jokes aren’t funny,” so I do an educational video & i get “she’s only teaching basic shit, this is useless”. what do you want me to teach you??????

why does it matter so much if im catering solely to you???? why does it matter if i block you???? why does it matter if you comment on my stuff & i don’t respond to you???

multiple men approached me at cisco live & made rude comments about how they couldn’t DM me on twitter bc i don’t follow them. it was so goddamn weird. the entitlement, the creepiness, the lack of self awareness… it’s astounding. i am fucking tired. i need a better mental health strategy

thank u all for the kind words & support. i’ll admit this is one situation where i was seeking it out because i feel so down about this. i am going to take a break & take care of myself. this community is awesome, thank you 🙏🏼

@tracketpacer stay strong and continue to block freely, and cultivate the sort of timeline you are happy with 😀
