...then just ignore it and do whatever you think is more important. Don't fight against inclusive language, inclusivity, and cultural appropriation because not only is that a very fucking bad look but it creates spaces where reactionaries can start to pull the left apart.

Also, all feelings are valid. If you post something that upsets someone because of the language that you use, they are not overreacting. Even if you don't exactly understand why they're upset, you should still extend some basic empathy to them.

This isn't really directed at anyone or at anything I saw, but I feel like it bears repeating in any left space.

I hope everyone is having a lovely December, love you all.

    But I'm not talking about policies. I'm talking about language that specifically excludes people or groups of people, or reinforces stereotypes about them.

    The language in policies is an entirely different conversation.
