Monday's are Weekly Tidbits days, but I also updated my site to use the new version of Fipamo built on Rust.
It's still has some bugs, so expect some weirdness, but this is a big step forward to getting it ready for the next big release.
It's almost there!

![here is no question that the generations-long erosion of the
U.S. manufacturing base, and the diminution of the unionized pension jobs that this sector had offered, disproportionately harmed working-class men. (This is perhaps especially true for Black men, whose access to these steady, well-paying jobs greatly expanded following the victories of the civil-rights movement.) Ongoing industrial collapse has shaped many of the statistics that are central to the man-crisis discourse.
[highlighted]
Yet, if you tilt some of the most commonly cited data points this way or that, you can just as easily argue on the behalf of a woman crisis as a man crisis—or, perhaps most accurately, for an ongoing multidirectional crisis affecting us all,](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xbsuw4ceyirmgtbscyptwgbe/bafkreid7oybg6am6zsw5tm7hgkji362xtccn6wx6ki4vzbnsefidr7jm6m@jpeg)

Definitely agree, but being the first person that does this for someone is not for the weak.
People are so used to cruelty and abuse, the pushback will be HARD b/c their standpoint is situations like this don’t exist.
There’s just a lot of hurt and trauma out there.

Get you a partner who knows how to kindly tell you things about yourself that are hard to hear, so that you can fully take it in and work on doing better

Ha, I think I’m starting to like Klay the person more than Klay the ball player.
He probably knew a bunch of wack fools were gonna come out of the woodwork concerning Meg, but he doesn’t seem to give a shit.
He seems to enjoy he is who he is and they are just a bunch of losers.
Grown man shit

A Maine woman retired early to be a caregiver for her terminally ill mother.
Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.
Her costs are going up for $49,000 a year.
This isn’t healthcare, it’s eugenics.

I’ve probably not gotten it right more than I have, so I don’t like giving advice about intimacy and connection.
But I can say what I’ve learned from my mistakes and scars.
And one of the most prominent lessons I’ve learned is that you can’t love someone else if you don’t love yourself.

This is gospel.
There is what we believe and talk about on the socials and what we actually do when we are in a situation.
Those things rarely match and that’s ok.
We just need to be a bit more honest about the reality of this context.

Right bc the only way we grow is through relationship w/others. We can do a lot of work on ourselves but together is when it's put to the test. You're essentially experimenting on others w/care (hopefully).

It’s not just men, but I understand how folks speak from their perspective.
Which led to Kat's skeet about men responding to love with anger/fear
We don’t talk enough about how the tools we’ve learned to survive aren’t the tools we use to build intimacy w/ another human being.
There is no way to mold power dynamics and transactional expectations into something fulfilling.
It takes a kind of human empathy many of us have been taught to fear

As a lot of us have grown up under white supremacy, many of us don’t have a framework for what healthy intimacy looks like.
So we have to build that brick by brick with imperfect examples with a lot of trial and error.
That’s grueling work, so I understand folks fears and frustrations.

This is the core of most relationship talk I see.
Under colonialism, most folks have never experienced love with another person, so they try to substitute a transactional framework to take its place.
It’s a poor substitute, which is why so many folks are angry and unfulfilled.

I tried to tell folks this shit over the summer but I realized quickly some folks aint never felt the love and safety I did that kept me around and they literally cant relate lol im not mad at anybody who dont get that I pray they find the love I got to experience even if I only had it temporarily
Leaving isn't easy for me. People scream that shit quickly online but.... It's never so cut and dry for me. If you can walk way from someone you love thats great for you. I can't.
