I feel

towards 2 or 3 major apps who groundlessly banned me despite me doing nothing impolite, nothing disrespectful, no violations of terms and conditions.

When someone posts online that they are now being demonized by a social group in #hackerspace and maybe on the road to be banned from the #hackspace , how would you react?

Noteworthy is also, that this particular person was involved in banning you from that particular #hackspace for life, because of wishy-washy accuastions. This space was your second home during 18 years.

Really, how would you react? #ccc #hacker #shunning #drama #social

This group was cancelling people before it was cool.

The recent authoritarian overreach isn't new to me. I grew up in a religious tradition of the same flavor. One day I want to finish writing about it. But until then, I'm taking the power back. Receiving this letter was once feared more than hellfire itself. For no reason.

Stephen Robinson responds to Gavin Newsom's sucking up to the odious Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk:

"Some people just need to be shunned."

And I heartily agree.

No, #Trump #MAGA fans, you don't get it. Your #liberal friends and family aren't #shunning you because of #politics.

It's because you don't know the difference between #right and #wrong.

You Are Enough

Reflecting on it now, it seems rather astonishing that I was taught by a religion that we are inherently sinful and wicked, and that we need someone else to make us whole. This teaching emphasized our flaws and imperfections. It’s understandable why so many people feel unable to meet such incredibly unattainable standards.

Just a reminder: you are amazing just as you are. You are enough. And you don’t need validation from those who don’t appreciate you for simply doing your best.
