Moments of Permanence - On differences in oppression, derailment, and the hierarchies of hurt

sometimes you make a post about derailing with a sidenote about it being important to acknowledge that even friends you love and admire can be flagrantly wrong in public

Did you see how a while ago I made a post specifically about calling out friends and had someone replicate the example I gave, down to offending the same people?

On the plus side when this stuff happens one is (a) in the right headspace and (b) confident your friends had fair warning they'd be called out :)
