I will admit that I have reached a point where I'm blocking anyone who is even mildly annoying to me re: politics. Not because they're bad, or they shouldn't be doing what they're doing (god knows plenty of productive things annoy me for various reasons) but b/c we're on different paths & that's ok!

And a lot of the people I'm blocking are the ones who reply to everything that anyone else is doing with a list of reasons they should be doing something else/why it won't work. And that is one thing I DO NOT think is productive. Find someone to help & help them, man. It's not that complicated.

blocking does not even mean I don't like someone. it may just mean our posting styles are incompatible. sometimes it means that I know that they are annoying me out of all proportion to anything they have done & they don't deserve the risk that I'll snap and try to drive an elbow into them one day

and I AM A VERY STRONG FLAVOR. lol Please, if I annoy you (and I can not *imagine* that there are not a great number of people out there who find me annoying, I am Officially A Lot) block without hesitation! I will probably not notice, if I do I'll be like "good boundaries, pal, godspeed"

i think of this as me being *so socially anxious* that I have wrapped back around to being relieved if people block me because my greatest fear is that everyone is following me like "jesus christ would this girl SHUT UP" but aren't removing me from their feeds 🤣

sometimes one picks a thing that is not immediately useful because it is what is immediately *available* and what will keep one encouraged to do the more useful things! (especially when one, coughmecough, has a lot of anxiety and a lot of skill in talking oneself out doing ANYTHING)
