#apologies

In the spirit of calling Republican bigots "Mrs Cruz" and "Mrs Graham" I wonder what it's like to dehumanise extreme MAGA people like the Whitehouse Press Secretary - I guess it's an aberrant mole-rat now since it seems only fair to do the same to it as it does to others.

The picture of it that AI generated for me isn't pleasant, so I marked it as sensitive.

When I was in grade five, the teacher stepped out of the classroom for a bit and a boy started chasing me around trying to hurt me. I was running and screaming in terror. When the teacher came back in the room, he saw me running, but not my bully who'd sat down right away.

I was told to report for detention.

Later on, the teacher apologized to me because he'd found out what happened. It was the first time a grownup ever apologized to me.

I'd come to believe that no adult would ever believe me.

Normalize apologizing to children. Normalize admitting to them when you are wrong.

🥥 To those of you on Mastodon -- a subsidiary of the Fediverse -- that Eye have managed to offend by attaching the hashtag #TuckersBalls to all of my toots:
Eye apologize, and yet, Eye will continue to do it.
It allows me to quickly search for my own posts.
You, too, may employ a rarely used phrase as a hashtag toot identifier and be able to easily search for all your Fediverse creative output. 🥥

I don’t know if you are interested in this but I stumbled across it on Youtube. I’ve seen Noel Cassel a lot on some of the internet news/talk shows and know his connections with Trump. but never heard them laid out like on this video,

I didn’t know Trump had to have rhinoplasty for his coke nose, nor did I know he regularly shits his pants and has to wear a diaper. Don’t feel obligated to watch. #apologies.

Continued thread

This is a good evergreen point on #apologies: "The Court will not require an apology from Respondents because a compelled apology is not a sincere apology. Any decision to apologize is left to Respondents."
