my favorite part is how they literally did understand what you were saying because they had to by definition in order to ~edit it like that 🤔

no offence but anyone who is reading something that goes beyond a refinery29 explanation of race requires uh work… which they were clearly capable of doing but chose to complain about it instead…… this isn’t really an issue of sentence structure but of discourse lol

So if they just had to put break were it made it easier to understand, which could be done be reading a sentence twice to add the appropriate breaks for them, that means they could understand it but didn’t want to put the energy into doing so. So it was accessible they just chose not to find op’s words worth the effort. 🤔🤔

This is a big problem for people with stuff like ADHD, brainfog, and dyslexia.

How fucking insulting. I’m two out of three in this sentence, and I’ve never had a problem reading Najia’s writing. Maybe it has more to do with the fact that it’s about race, so the whites are scrambling for any reason to dismiss it, and right now, ableism is hot because white people can’t fathom that POC can be disabled/neurodivergent too.

Not that we didn’t know this already.

your anons’ concept of being nice seems to be “allow me, a rude idiot, to do whatever i wish to your written work, incl. attack you for writing this at all and attack you for defending yourself... also don’t forget that maybe.... just maybe... for Reasons you are. Wrong, definitely” anyways thank you for making your writing available for us to read, and god knows everyone, including myself, has really appreciated your writing for helping us think deeper.

FOR REAL and you’re very welcome! 💜💜

the people who attack you on the basis of elitism or ableism really show their cards by 1. revealing their lack of true engagement with these critical concepts leading to 2. committing the same errors that these concepts are supposed to critique. the sense of *work* has been gutted from writing and thinking and it’s sad because you’ve worked hard to refine your critiques and people feel entitled to that labour. do they expect to understand these concepts by psychic osmosis or something??

right like when this happened on my post about accessibility I thought my eyes were going to fall out of my head

that last sentence, after the final dash, so aptly describes 99% of the people reblogging your posts with commentary and/or sending you anons, good lord.

is there a term for that particular brand of derailment because there should be

IT DOES and it is so endlessly frustrating!! & yes there should be, I know “sealioning” describes asking basic questions in the context of a more involved discussion but I’ve never seen people talk about asserting basic things in the same context
