Come see My Neighbour Totoro on the West End for a lil wholesome
dose of hope and wonder. Day tickets go on sale on their website at 10am each morning, and it’s worth it, I promise.

While this may be a small, seemingly innocuous encounter, it demonstrates perfectly to me how white conservatives operate.
Attempt, in subtle and not so subtle ways to encroach on others, and when they push back, attempt to gaslight, all while playing the victim.

I stated quite simply that I was treating him exactly the same as he’d been treating me.
He began taking photos of me. I responded by pressing record and turning my phone toward him.
He then accosted me, trying to take my phone, all the while saying, “This is abuse. You’re abusing me.”

After several stops, I finally responded by pushing my elbow back. Hard. He feigned shock. He kept insisting he hadn’t touched me, despite the fact that his elbow by that point had clearly been pushing further and further into my space.

Next time you’re here, come to see My Neighbour Totoro on the west end! 💚
