VeeI'm weird and I approve this message.
Remember people: "Normal" is a setting on the dryer.
There is no such thing.
We are all "weird" to someone. No biggie.
Draken BlackKnight@VeroniqueB99
We are the weirdos, miss.
We are the weirdos, miss.
@drakenblackknight Yes we are!!!👍 🤣

Maier Amsden@VeroniqueB99 In a freedom-loving society, the normalcy police are weird.
@VeroniqueB99 @JonathanLarsen had a weird take on benign self-expression weird and rich guy weird and oppressive Christofascist weird. Either way, Democrats should reclaim freedom.
Mori@VeroniqueB99 Weirdly succinct! 😊
@mori 🤣 right?!🤣🤣🤣
sleepfreeparent@VeroniqueB99 and people who don't mind being called weird but are now seeing it used on a daily basis to describe actual #fascists because some fucking politician decided to reweaponize a word that had been reclaimed by the people it was originally used to hurt...now have to use a #filter to get that shitshow off their timelines
Or is that just me?
@sleepfreeparent Exactly...😬
Jessica 🏳️⚧️ (she/her)@VeroniqueB99 Yeah, I like this. I was sad that they started to use weird to call MAGA bunch because I liked calling myself weird. But if we agree on this narrative then I'm going back to be weird again 😄
@jessica_fey 🤣 same 👍
luvcie@VeroniqueB99 I also approve this message.
Juho MäntysaloThere's also the third category: being called weird as a signal that soon there's going to be a punishment for not following expectations.
Really implores you to choose being unhappy (masking constantly), or being ok with being NEETed.
(Examples, being LGQBT+, on spectrum, having an obvious physical difference, opinion etc.)
(I assume the discussion might be related to US politics, but as it isn't tagged, I feel comfortable in writing a general reply.)
SearingTruthI'm so weird that I began recording observations of humanity when I was 14 fellow citizen Vee, and remembered many before then.
This month I'll be 65, and my book is 385 pages along.
And after all these decades I've discovered one simple truth.
Humanity is good.
ST
"I understand. For I have been disappointed also. Humanity, overall, almost always disappoints me. However humans, individually, almost always fill me with hope. This has led me to the conviction that humanity is good; it is our organization and ideologies that have proven pitifully and woefully ineffective and inadequate."
SearingTruth
@SearingTruth I *kind of agree*... not sure I fall this hard on Rousseau's side though these days...🤷♀️

@sennoma Ha! Love it! 👍 🤣

@VeroniqueB99 perfect
*chef's kiss*
Yohannon@VeroniqueB99 YES. Someone in a comments thread basically said "YEAH, Well, YOU'RE weird!!" and they couldn't deal with me saying "Yup, and proud of it".
Remember, they can't conceive of two things at once; I could support Israel AND condemn the civilian deaths in Gaza, I can disagree with Kamala on some things AND still vote for here, and people can be Indian AND Black.
@yohannon yeah... the internet doesn't really do nuances... 🙄
Baral'heia Stormdancer ΘΔ🐲@VeroniqueB99 Yep, this is how I've always seen it too!

Court Cantrell does not comply@VeroniqueB99 I, too, am weird. Also wyrde, if alternate spelling is needed. 😁🤘🖖

Vex for Harris & Wallz has moved@courtcan @VeroniqueB99 Sadly I'm not weird, just wired... I drink way too much coffee

Normal weird people can OWN their weird. Abnormal, maladapted people can only deny theirs .It's the ultimate tell for a narcissist. No laughing at themselves, ever. And laughter, rarely.

@jprestonian Exactly. 🤣

mickymorse@VeroniqueB99 The gop is sleazy, sordid, corrupt, batshit crazy, and yes, weird.

Prickly Pam (D-PA)I've been weird all my life. I'm 71 now, and I'll be weird till I die.
And I'm proud of it.
