if you would like me to be able to read urgent things, please CW it so that not only can i read it, i can also responsibly boost it, and like, KEEP reading it if i have to stop

"i'm not CWing this because it's important to actually read it" translates to "i'm not CWing because any time this pops up anywhere in your life, nomatter how much you've read or done about it elsewhere, you should be forced to read it"

do u really think the people who don't open "urgent, USpol" are willing to act?

CWs, activism Show more

coz usually the people willing to put the most work in, even for the most urgent and disastrous political horrors... are multiply marginalised people.

multiply marginalised people are more likely to have ptsd and are at more risk of burnout and have more engagement with activism. AND less avenues of treatment available.

this idea that scaring fence-sitting liberals is worth more than helping seasoned activists work safely.. it's not realistic. people ignoring it aren't gonna help

@mallaidh
so much this.

we are only as strong as we are gentle with eachother, and sharing is caring only if it's properly CW'd.

If a triggering toot is massively boosted, it can make the fediverse toxic for marginalized/hurting people for *days*, which can severely impact their (cough, my, cough) ability to be online at all.

I frequently mute people who use CW text unethically, too.

Put the info behind a wall.
Let me choose.
