People: "How are you doing?"

Me, sitting in my car biting directly into half of a grocery store cake at 2pm on a Thursday: "Hangin' in there!"

The hardest thing about the past few weeks was not being able to tell every single person I spoke to about my new position as the Women & Girls Reporter for Free Press Indiana. But now I can 😊

I should also ask: do you think I'm wrong? Is it more common than I think to be validating others concerns (instead of low key mockery for having concerns that seem to have been invalid)?

Also dead serious: that makes perfect sense and I'm glad you explained it. I'm not especially clueful at correctly guessing how my ad-libbed casual-speak will hit.

Completely serious. (Not being able to tell when I'm being serious or not is extremely common feedback for me.)

OMG, this type of affirmation is soooo rare on socials. Thank you for validating my concern.

The research is good, as far as my limited abilities to confirm/replicate it go: I probably gave a few bucks to a scammer today.

no worries at all; I was slightly worried at first you were a troll looking to quash people showing material support for those getting the pointy end of imperialisms. That was clear up when I read your page, before you even replied the first time.

Oh my, tensions are high. And well they should be

It totally does suck and you are doing the right thing here.

I'm the outlyer not caring about getting scammed. You haven't done anything wrong. I didn't mean to give you the impression you had.

I should also add: I should have read your bsky before replying the first time. That's entirely on me and could have saved you some typing. Sorry.

I got it. You sounded pissed off. It made me think you probably had good reasons. Thank you for making sure those reasons were clear to me. They are.

Gotcha. Thanks again very much for passing along this type of information so "aggressively".

Grifting here was meant as a pejorative, yes (and aggressively was *not* meant as such; I think we get to be aggressive when outraged). Sorry if my wording is offputting or cases confusion.

I read your bsky just now. I think I answered my last question. If I'm not mistaken you are specifically interested in this particular impersonator and probably following any of their activity. Thank you for the work you are doing in grifting awareness. (My apathy is not your fault.)

Helping some scammer live won't be the worst stain on my existence. Probably not even on the day. Thanks for the heads up.

Sources or further information substantiating your claims would be most welcome. I'm also curious how you came to notice my post, followership and donation if u can share

If "opposes genocide" isn't a litmus test for being a leftist then the term leftist is meaningless.
