hey. hey. if you were/are not allowed to express anger in your household. ily

anger is human, anger is part of processing, anger exists on a spectrum from mild frustration/annoyance to full rage and all can be needed as a reaction sometimes, anger is not inherently abusive or harmful, expressing anger (especially if you have anger issues) does not make you shameful or scary, anger does not make your point inherently less valuable, anger is a feeling you should be allowed to express.

anger is okay. and if your anger is hurting you, that’s okay too, and you deserve help managing it. this goes double for people who are often stereotyped as angry or scary (black & brown ppl, transfems, ppl with stigmatized disorders, butches and other masc queers, etc). anger is allowed.

I think Americans in general should maybe start taking xenophobia more seriously. Because with the. Everything going on in the world right now. It’s gotten really really bad. And while lefties might not be reactionary to the same extent as republicans it’s still very much prevalent. I went to dinner with my family recently and the stuff they said about my cousin’s family who emigrated from Russia made me feel like I was losing my mind. He’s 2 years old. How are you going to discriminate against a baby with a clear conscience. Then you read the news and it’s like “China is spying on you with TikTok and weather balloons” and you hear people on all angles of the political compass repeat it. Are you hearing yourself right now. Are you for real

Cannot believe I have to say this but I am Lakota. as in native american. As in almost everyone’s family came to the united states from another country at one point, except for the people who were already living here. Like my mom’s family. And I live here.

Immediately assuming I must be a white european because I disagree with widespread american xenophobia is prelly wild. Honestly. When I mentioned my family and America in the same post I thought it was clear that I live here.

“But you said you had family from Russia?”

Yes. People get married sometimes. My cousin married someone from Russia. They had a baby. He’s a good baby btw. Fantastic little dude. I hope he grows up in a better world than this one.

I can’t speak for people living in other countries because I don’t live there. I live here. I don’t think it’s my place to berate people from other countries because that’s kind of the problem. Maybe I should have started this post out like a presidential speech. My fellow Americans. Now more than ever.

Reading comprehension test:

1. Where is OP from? What country?

2. What does “xenophobia” mean?

3. Is possible to care about other people? if yes, then:

3.1: even if they’re from another country?

3.2: even if they speak another language?

3.3: even if I don’t like their government?
