So .... communities. Right. Once upon a time a guy was so personally offended by the concept of divorce that he hand-wrote my mother a letter to tell her not to divorce my father. Insane. 22 years after this, I had to teach this guy in a class. We had to co-occupy a space both in full awareness that he was the busy-body freak who tried to tell my mother not to get a divorce she absolutely needed to get (And did get! three cheers for divorce!🥳🥳🥳). And. We did co-occupy. The course went great. It was fine.

Life is long and life is weird and I still don't like that guy very much but living in a community means accepting that the guy who gets involved in other people's divorces still has something to offer the world. Or something.

#i guess im saying we are all very quick on the internet to declare someone irredeemable for . petty shit.#do not misunderstand me and think anti-divorce guy is secretly kind and charming and uhhh trustworthy with authority #but he is still ....here. and even if i m revolted by him he's not actually causing harm so #if ur for prison abolition and the like it is in your best interest to find a way to co-exist with people who do shit you DO NOT LIKE #two paths diversed in a yellow wood. take the one that isn't labelled BLOOD FEUDS AHEAD #me fein #eefa sells her labour #also @cottage core ppl this is how rural living goes. add that to ur pastoral fantasy.
