halloween is such an anarchist holiday

so many other holidays are all about “family.” shut yourself in with people you may or may not like. don’t go out. nothing is open anyway. respect traditional family structures.

halloween is about community. go outside. meet your neighbors. share candy with them. nothing is closed. participate in this grand communal ritual with strangers. everyone hide your identity and trust one another.

@jepyang what's with people like you and hating your family grow up.

@svin well, I can't speak for @jepyang but for me it was all of the abuse that my family likes to pretend never happened.

You don't know people's stories, svin, so maybe let folk vent without judgement? Some of us get enough of that from our families, and don't need extra from internet randos.
