My little sister is married! Onyinye married her college sweetheart Joseph Anyadike in a beautiful ceremony in Kelechi’s church.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She invited all of our siblings and our parents, which is a move I definitely wasn’t expecting from her, but I’m glad she did. Life is too short to cut off family for petty reasons. I did hear Dad mutter about her dress not being modest and her stretched ears not looking feminine but Mom hushed him. I think she’s just happy Onyinye actually got married and seems to have a heart for children. Onyinye will still be working as a marine biologist and moved to Tartosa with Joey, who works in tech.
Tumblr media
Shortly after the wedding, Lotanna proposed to his girlfriend Tori. Everyone was extremely shocked, including Onyinye. I hope Lotanna let her know he was going to propose but something tells me no. I wish nothing but the best for both couples.
Yours, Isioma <3

tanaaj is such a tragic character "i do everything right nobody has ever been as good or correct about the rule of saint leah as i am. unrelated but why do i feel so bad and guilty and lonely all the time?" well for starters you live in fully automated luxury catholicism so that's gonna contribute to the issue for sure
#'ive never hoarded anything in my life not even my child!'#tragically you were not taught that love is not a finite resource that has to be equally distributed to everyone in the world#in case it runs out#this is a FASCINATING book. and i'm also reading cultish the language of fanaticism at the same time#so it's like. wow none of you people are escaping the systematic self-destruction in pursuit of the nebulous holy! good luck !!#infact. i think i kind of hate this book. in a way where having seen much of religious fanaticism#i get viscerally uncomfortable reading leah and tanaaj. like i CANNOT talk to them and take apart their reasoning. on account of#they're in the book and i'm just reading it. but i want to SO badly#the actual star#i dont hate it . it's really good. it's just an extremely demanding read for me i guess#what if the utopian communist future still had sin and fundamentalism. and Cancel Culture enshrined into the mutual aid network#i just read the bit where tanaaj has to sit vigil with this dying sedente woman. and she is SO MAD. at this elderly lady for...#staying in one house all her life and loving a partner enough to forgo social convention to live with them? raise a child together?#and tanaaj is like. she was HOARDING. this small location. and those two people. thank GOD her child saw the light and left home at 16#meanwhile there's nothing to imply the old lady wouldn't have happily shared her area with any travelers coming through#tanaaj is just fundie. and reading her perspective makes me soooooo insane#she also manages to be transphobic in a genderless nonbinary bodymod future. where everybody has a dick and a vag.#she gets mad about people who only want one set of genitals or want to reorganize their sex characteristics. in Unorthodox Ways#meanwhile halfway across the world but getting closer niloux is like. my girlfriend is a transwoman on purpose in genderless bodymod world#and she is also your ex girlfriend. probably on account of your insanity. i can see where i walked in past lives and it's real

Not to be a total blue hair about this situation but it really sucks that food youtubers still heavily promote and praise chick-fil-a even when they know the kind of shit they support financially. They just completely forget the harm they've done to queer communities.
Everyone just assumes they stopped giving those donations back in like 2019 but was there not articles coming out after the pandemic about them going back to their old ways? (Shhh dont worry dont look into where the CEO's money is going shhhh shut up and eat your jesus chicken shhhhh)

omg your welcome!! I was worried I was being biased because of my intense interest and favorable options towards c!wilbur but i’m glad I could provide more perspective!
I saw a long post about this on the c!wilbur community and they brought up some good points about c!fundy and c!wilbur so I wanna talk about the issues I have with c!fundy revolving c!wilbur (not his character overall)
c!Fundy neg ahead
One point i’ll make clear immediately is that c!fundy abandoned c!wilbur first. c!wilbur did not “abandon” c!fundy until his suicide. That’s just the truth and i’m tired of certain people spinning it in a different way.
c!fundy chose to join manburg and stand on that stage and publicly declare that his ONLY relations with L’manburg was just being born there. Nothing else. I don’t care about his motives, he chose to do that infront of every and this hurt c!wilbur whether this fandom wants to admit it or not
Now yes, c!wilbur wasn’t the best father by any means. Canonically he babied c!fundy pretty hard and there is probably a reason for it and that reason isn’t malicious at all in my opinion! I’m not stating a reason simply because we never got one in canon but I doubt that c!wilbur was being intentionally malicious towards c!fundy, I genuinely think he was just trying to protect him like everyone else and he went about it the wrong way. Not that any reason justifies it since it hurt c!fundy, but still i’m making a point here that not everything c!wilbur does is malicious
What c!fundy did was way too far and not justifiable. He ran against his own father then sided with c!schlatt and got up on stage and said that shit. Then he proceeded to burn down the flag with c!wilbur watching who might I remind you was also exiled brutally killed by the side c!fundy just joined! I’m pretty sure he was also up on stage when c!wilbur was killed so he just watched him get murdered!
Moving fowards, suddenly after c!wilbur death we see c!fundy being all sad and claiming he was abandoned (JUST LIKE C!NIKI) I understand being hurt and upset your own father died, but to completely turn around and paint this narrative that you were intentionally abandoned is not only ableist but also it’s not going to make c!fundy feel any better. This is just bad writing imo and it only serves to demonize c!wilbur further
Also didn’t he try to get adopted by c!eret? Cleary, to me atleast c!fundy doesn’t care that much about c!wilbur anymore since he wanted so badly to be adopted but the person who KILLED c!wilbur and his family and then never fucking apologized correctly for it!
Now moving onto revival, c!wilbur has every right not to seek out c!fundy. To him, c!fundy set a clear boundary and why would he go out of his way to try and get c!fundy back when the last time he remembers c!fundy made it clear he didn’t want that? This fandom would’ve demonized him anyways if he sought out c!fundy trying to re build their relationship so he literally cannot win in any scenario
Now onto the stream. I think that stream wasn’t good at all. I appreciated their good moments sure but I have a few specific issues with it
One is the end of the stream where c!fundy JUMPS INTO THE LMANHOLE to “get away” from c!wilbur
talk about overreaction. I’m sorry I just think that moment was only added to give them more angst. c!fundy could’ve easily just walked past/away from him or waited for c!wilbur to leave before leaving himself, would’ve had much more of an impact I think.
and to be fair, c!wilbur was arguably pretty far away from c!fundy when he jumped, he only stopped to look back at HIS SON one more time before leaving LIKE HE WAS ASKED TO. I’m not even going into how this affected c!wilbur much because I genuinely just think that was shitty writing and didn’t need to happen, it was only there for useless angst.
Now moving on next part I have a problem with is the ���why did you die?” line from fundy. Can I just say right off the bat the way it was said was so fucking rude of c!fundy. It wasn’t somber or out of genuine concern, he sounded angry at c!wilbur for *checks notes* KILLING HIMSELF!!!!!
I don’t care that he was hurt. You don’t say that to your father who killed himself. You don’t say that to any suicidal person actually. He was clearly uninterested in c!wilburs life yet he wants to act like this?? c!fundy painted it (intentionally or not) as a malicious calculated plan to abandon him instead of c!wilbur being at his breaking point. He couldn’t take it anymore so he killed himself yet c!fundy never acknowledged that
That stream, like a lot of the others imo just feels redundant because c!fundy never apologized or admitted he was in the wrong. They never talked about c!fundy abandoning c!wilbur for seemingly no reason or even the pogtopia buttons!! Which he did!! Their conversation wasn’t mutual. Even if it was and in the end c!fundy still wanted no contact, it would’ve atleast been satisfying to the viewers that they atleast talked with each other and acknowledged when they hurt each other
Think that’s where i’ll shut up now. I still have a few more things to say
I understand that i’m very biased right now. I am a c!wilbur apologist and I understand that my bias could possibly be affecting my view point.
I can still sympathize with c!fundy. He was hurt and he was hurt by c!wilbur. That’s just fact and c!wilbur did need to apologize to him and i’m glad that it was called out in the beginning by c!fundy that c!wilbur tried to walk away. Obviously I don’t think it was right of c!eret to trick c!wilbur into seeing c!fundy when im assuming he wasn’t prepared to talk to him if at all but im glad they atleast talked and had some good moments together.
Now just some light myth clearing from me
“c!wilbur never cared about c!fundy”
That’s just an obvious lie. He cared about his son and he cared a lot whether he admitted it or not. You all forget sometimes that c!wilbur lies and he lies a lot to avoid being vunerable. He literally stood up for his son when c!schlatt said some transphobic ass shit to c!fundy even though their relationship was ruined. It was alluded that he fainted when c!fundy jumped to get away from him, why would that happen if he didn’t care?
“c!wilbur was an abusive/neglectful father”
no…he wasn’t. He canonically babied c!fundy. While not good, it’s not abuse
“c!wilbur abandoned c!fundy”
The most common argument. No he didn’t. He killed himself. This is an ableist narrative spouted by characters and the fandom
Thank you for listening to my rant. This is all my opinion and please if anything here is wrong, correct me so I can fix it

So we're all sick of antis using asexuality as an excuse to censor sexual art and expression. But I'm also getting sick of everyone going "but lots of aces enjoy and/or write porn!" in response. We all know this is true, and it's important to not send a message to those aces types that they're doing ace wrong.
But at the same tim, we can do better for the aces who don't like smutty fanfic. Instead of telling the antis that plenty of aces don't fit their narrative, straight up tell them to stop weaponizing asexuality.
Aces who are squicked out by E rated fic exist and deserve support and respect as asexuals. When we see idiots going "this identity exists, therefore stop making art" the reasonable response is "stop being a dick" not to erase and ignore the very identity they're coopting.
We cannot allow trolls, bigots, and fundies to appropriate one queer identity in order to silence other queer identities. We cannot let them split the queer community yet again over something as dumb as the fact that some people don't like horny fanfic.
The antis who go "think of the aces!" are infantilizing and removing agency from responsible adults who filter their fandom experience to their preferences. The correct response is not to go "anyone who is squicked by sex scenes is a meany, real aces write kinky fic" but to go "stop infantilizing our fellow queers, we all know how to use an exclude filter".
Anyone who is squicked out by E rated fic on AO3 can just filter it out, no matter the reason for their squick. Every single ace I've met who doesn't want to read horny fanfic simply filters it out without making a big concern trolling stink about how it shouldn't exist. These people should be respected, not erased, when some jackass tries to pretend that you have to write less gay sex fic in order to "protect" someone who already filtered it out.
It's the same exact thing as when they go "think of survivors!" when they tell you not to write certain ships or dynamics. Yes, many survivors are the ones writing that ship in the first place, but many others are uncomfortable with the ship and just filter it out.
Note that in nine times out of ten, the anti pitching the temper trantum is neither asexual nor a trauma survivor, they're just using a convenient demographic to shame people out of making art.

Not a bad Techno take but a bad Phil take. Whenever someone calls him neglectful for not being a parent to c!Tommy I lose my shit a little bit more, especially cause they don't keep up the energy with c! Wilbur. Like, one of them made c!Tommy into a child soldier and the other just didn't want custody of this random child their kid found.
Not only is c!Wilbur right there if you want a shitty, negligent dad character (toward Tommy and Tubbo, yes, but also let's not forget that Wilbur is canonically a shitty and absent father to his actual son Fundy. Whereas Phil is like,,, an okay dad to his only canonical child Wilbur? We actually know very little about Phil's actual parenting, but what we do know implies he's like, not particularly bad at it lol)
BUT ALSO, Phil is very nice to Tommy?
I'm not disagreeing with the fact that Phil has absolutely 0 obligations towards Tommy because that's literally just Some Random Kid (tm) and it's fucking weird to hold Phil to some kind of dad standard because of your own headcanons when there are countless adults in the dsmp and you're not proclaiming them to somehow be obligated to take a parental role to the random teenagers running around that server...
However completely separate from that argument, Phil has always been extremely nice to Tommy? c!Phil is generally nice to almost everybody all the time and is naturally inclined to be charitable, generous, and kind unless somebody is being a dick first or threatens somebody Phil cares about. Phil consistently throughout the dsmp offers Tommy advice and help, shares items with him, even checks in on Tommy unprompted like??? I may be stupid (/j) I just really don't get why people hate on c!Phil, peepaw hasn't done anything wrong to your blorbo

Start watching Purpled lore vods again and gods damned I miss Purpled and Tubbo’s friendship. I don’t see alot of those :(
(Also I don’t think I’ll ever get over the fact Purpled (and Punz and Fundy) tried to save Tubbo’s house after Tommy set it on fire, even when Tubbo said it’s not worth it (That was such a dick move btw Tommy you don’t set people’s things on fire and don’t try to justify it in your apology wtf))

Okay but frfr mama Q is absolutely real and I wrote a fic about her (him)
Quackity having to babysit Micheal and then tommy asks him to babysit shroud and he's like why not and then fundy asks him to babysit yogurt and the three come to pick up their kids and it's quackity thousand yard stare covered in blood but the kids are compleatly unharmed and calling him grandpa and no one ever brings it up.
Tubbo not wanting to work and pulling the daddy issues card on q and fundy doing the same thing
Also purpled being the strange cousin off to the side that does not interact but is very much part of this fucked up family
S. Hey. Guess what.
Dsmp quackity was married to schlatt and probobly dating Wilbur
Tubbo is schlatts kid and fundy is Wilbur's kid
Quackity has two children.
Thoughts?
he's so milf actually
/srs tho i can actually see him stepping up where the other two wouldn't because they were too busy starting wars and that's kinda really wholesome

Before anyone else says Satan is evil and Satanists harm children, I ask that they think of the children -- the children unfortunate enough to be born in an Abrahamic faith. Think of the boys being sodomized by priests as we speak; their anuses stinging with each thrust. Think of baby boys having their dicks mutilated by knife wielding mohels and baby girls having their clitorises sliced off by evil, old Muslim hags with shards of broken glass. And think of the less violent, but no less poignant tragedies: the teen boy who can't go to the prom because his parents are stupid puritanical prudes who hate sex and love. Think of the teen girl being forced to marry her adult cousin because her parents are fundy Mormons. Think of the child who perishes from a curable illness because her parents reject medical care and believe prayer is the only medicine needed. Think of LGBT youth who routinely off themselves because the Bible says they are an abomination.
I ask you to reflect on all these atrocities, imagine the pain and misery of the children so vividly that it becomes YOUR pain, YOUR misery, and FEEL the hatred of all that is holy surge through your body! Don't suppress the hatred, embrace it; use it as FUEL! Join the crusade! Let us put an end to this stain, this spiritual plague that is the Christian church, the Muslim ummah, the Jewish covenant. No matter which of these evil cults you may have been born into, you can escape them by the grace of Lord Satan and by forsaking God!
Let us not be afraid to speak out against these evil cults. We shall expose and declaim their child abuse, blaspheme and insult their god, desecrate their scriptures and halidoms; and when they, quite predictably, accuse us of being hateful we shall offer no defense, no apology. Yes we HATE the god of Abraham, his prophets, and all of his worshipers. We HATE your effing god so much, we proudly take the name of his adversary as our own! Curse Yahweh, the Holy Trinity, and Elohim. Curse Abraham, Moses, Muhammad, and Joseph Smith. Curse Jesus Christ and the whore that brought him into the world. Hail Satan, Iblis, and Lucifer. Hail Lilith, mother of abominations. Hail Qayin, son of the serpent. Hail Longinus, the god slayer!

Um....ok first all bitch I was everything but rude to you in my delivery soooo why you came at me that way is honestly a mystery to me. 2nd of all , all you had to do was bring facts which you didn't. There is no fucking plant on this planet that gives the same nutrients as red meat stop capping.Now with that all being said yes I'm a huge animal lover probably an even bigger animal lover than you but I'm not a raging dick about it and recognize my life is just as valuable. You ever thought the reason your such a lifeless bitch is because you're purposely depriving yourself of necessary nutrients. Every vegan I've ever met hates life hates themselves and are always angry and hungry.
Remember your ancestors weren't vegan. There has never been a vegan tribe on this planet. The fact u would rather eat tasteless plants than nutrients dense meat tells me you need some serious love in your life.
Happy holidays
I dont give a shit whether youre rude to me, i will still point out youre an idiot if youre an idiot and i care if youre rude (and definitely if you are violent) to animals. too many people on this planet will baby you and tell you you arent wildly stupid when you say wildly stupid things (this happens with more than just veganism related stuff) but i aint the one.
"carnism" is the belief that we need meat to live and/or thrive and it has been EXCESSIVELY debunked to the point this is an unprofessional debate to even bring up and makes you look like a child or fundie. i debate about things that are actually of up to date practical concern, not meta ethics and "lions tho" and "ancestors though" appeal to nature fallacy baby crap. "if you dont kill others, you dont love yourself" is the pathetic take of severely ignorant people. you are not a bigger animal lover if you dont respect the rights of animals and you fucking kill them.
there are actually countless examples of veganism across all of human history in various religions and cultures. a lot of black roots, lotta asian roots. its gone by different names such as flesh avoidance, jainism, its a thing with rastafarians, bla bla etc etc. so youre way wrong there too. you have no idea how affected you are by animal agriculture propaganda and im saying this because i care. multiple billions of dollars are spent every year to keep you believing the CRAP you believe, and thinking other information is bogus. they dont do that for no reason. i did offer information and a whole channel of information you can also go to r/debateavegan and vegan world discord server.

hey uhhhh
maybe don't post anti-theist/anti-christian stuff in the queer christian/progressive christian hashtags?
these are meant to be safe spaces for queer and otherwise marginalized people of faith, and here you are barging in like "lol ackchyually your religion is bad and you should feel bad about it."
you don't have to like religion or christianity, but if you're specifically spreading your hate for them in spaces meant to be havens for those who have faced rejection from the larger mainstream christian community, that's just a dick thing to do on your part.
you're no better than fundies who go into these same hashtags to hate on queer/progressive/marginalized christian groups.

Tumblr media
Call me Cala! I am 25 years old :)
any/all pronounds including neos!
Autistic, poly and Queer!
Gf is Spooky (@thetrashbois)
Main Blog is @thesquiddygirl
I am plural but I rarely talk about it here :)
Tumblr media
This blog is mainly for my special interest which is the DSMP!
Favorite characters are: c!Dream, c!Wilbur, c!Techno, c!Schlatt and c!Bad :)
I am only going to say this once: I separate content creator from the character! I always have, just because I like a certain character doesn't mean i like the content creator. I treat the characters as if theyre fiction and detached them from their creators
That also being said: I am a DTeam Fan! please do not harass my inbox or come at me, you will be blocked. I rarely talk about cc drama here since this is my safe space and i have enough on my mind as it is. I do my best to make it a safespace here so if i ramble a lot more about my aus when something happens, thats why.
I also just love minecraft in general. Always have and always will :)
Tumblr media
I DO A LOT OF SELF INSERT CONTENT INVOLVING THE DSMP CHARACTERS AND AUS WHICH INCLUDE SELF SHIPPING! BE WARNED!
Literally 95% of my AUs involve a self insert, and the ones that dont have an OC!
I selfship with many characters within the dsmp! Mainly of course c!Dream :)
If you do not like that then this blog is not for you and I am sorry
That being said I love getting asks about my AUs no matter how silly or serious they are!
Please be respectful with my self insert/selfship content, I understand its not everyones cup of tea and thats okay :) just please dont be rude about it.
Tumblr media
My AO3 is SquiddyGirl!
Fics I am writing at the moment: Penpal
AUs I am latched on at the moment: Dnd Con AU, Assassin's Creed AU, Penpal AU!
I do not do DNIs, again just please be respectful and not a dick :)
Under the cut are the list of AUs I have along with a short blurb!
Con AU: AU where Dream gets teleported into a convention in the real world and a cosplayer finds him and thinks hes an amazing c!Dream cosplayer so they hang out in the convention for the weekend while he hides the fact that he is the actual character and from Sam and Quackity.
DnD Con AU: A variant of my Con AU! Cala helps Dream escape the prison without having knowledge who he is and dnd shenanigans ensue within the Five Kingdoms of the Esempi. However her, Dream, Fundy and her wife Spooky make the most chaotic group and just try to figure out what to do.
Digitial Friend AU: Modern day AU where XD and Callahan used to make old style desktop buddies in the early 2000s that were the dsmp characters, but deleted most of their existence of it abruptly. Decades later a very tired and reclused Cala finds a downloader of them after going down a rabbit hole and one by one interacts with them and realizes these aren't just some old programs someone made. Also she's apartment neighbors with XD and Callahan :) This is horror centric so be warned
TMA DSMP AU: The magnus archives but dsmp! A lot of fear entity stuff involving the characters and cala; Dream is an 'archvist' but when he mysteriously disappears and after Cala suffers an accident everyone keeps telling her he doesnt exist. She just wants to find her friend. This is very horror centric and unsettling so be warned
Call of Cthulhu AU: After Quackity and Sam get into an argument with the two prisoners (Cala and Dream), the four of them realize they are trapped inside the prison and are forced to work together. This is EXTREMELY horror based and will have unsettling content, and it is based off the call of cthulhu system -- basically the antithesis of the dnd con au
Noir AU: After Cala is witness to a murder, they go to a detective named Techno and convince to protect them as well as to help them figure out what is happening within the city. Just very classic detective/noir style vibes.
Penpal AU: After noticing an ominous app on her phone, Wren couldn't help but to be wary of where it came from. That is until her power went out and she ended up seeing a message from a complete stranger. Little does she know what she dragged herself into, and how terrifying the circumstances are when she had replied. AKA an au where Dream talks to someone from another dimension and ends up going there. And it doesnt go great. This AU has some very unsettling topics and graphic details that involve bugs and death and also unhealthy relationships, please be careful when reading.
Ghost AU: AU where Dream died in prison! Dre is a ghost who gets summoned by Cala and he basically haunts her while she's trying to focus on real life stuff. This AU does have horror and just very heavy bug themed so be warned
Assassin's Creed AU: AU where in the past Dream's ancestor is an infamous assassin and Cala's ancestor ran an apothecary. They both form an unlikely friendship and unrequited love but it ends tragically. Fast Forward to the present Cala and Dream are coworkers and they meet after the elevator breaks down, and later when a mutual friend lets them introduce each other. A lot of hidden secrets and some conspiracy between friends with this au (this is a very new au so i am roughing out the kinks)
More of my AUs will be added but this is off the top of my head :)

For a long time I've been of the opinion that "bi lesbians" are inherently lesbophobic. When I first heard the term I was like "wtf does that mean? A bisexual homoromantic woman?" I lurked some tags and that didn't seem to be the case. It appeared to be bi girls with a preference for women. The febfems, but they don't use that term because febfem is a pretty terfy term from what I've seen.
I consulted my old lesbian friend about her take on the issue. She described that it is lesbophobic because it pushes the idea that lesbians have the capacity to be attracted to men. I lurked some lesbian blogs and saw very similar arguments.
So I was like okay, yeah, I get that. Spreading the idea that a lesbian can be willing to fuck or date a man is pretty shitty. It emboldens those fuck-ass dudes who harass lesbians, saying she just hasn't had the right dick yet. It gives ammo to religious fundies who argue that lesbians should just suck it up and pair with a man and learn to like it. It spreads the harmful idea that lesbianism is a phase, or the result of a woman being too ugly or whatever to get a man so she gets with women out of necessity. Or the idea that lesbians are only gay because they're man-hating neurotic feminazis.
So yeah that's bad. And as such I rejected bi lesbians as lesbophobic bi women who are co-opting the lesbian experience when they have no right to do so.
Recently though, while I was digging around in the mogai tag because I couldn't remember the term "radinclus" and I was trying to correct someone who thought radinclus and radqueer were the same thing. I saw a couple posts about bi lesbians saying that lesbians who reject them are ignorant to lesbian history and that this was a normal thing in the 70s. Half of me said "huh maybe something important got lost to time," and the other half said "political lesbians were also technically in the lesbian community in the 70s and they suck, they were rejected for a reason."
Does anyone have any links to articles or documentaries or video essays going into this specific situation? I don't like to walk around confidently stating an opinion based on ignorance so I'm interested in researching the issue so I can form a more educated opinion.

Advice for Ex-Conservatives
I was raised in a hardline GOP/Southern Baptist household. During my later teens, I deconstructed the beliefs I was taught, and I've spent my adult life as a bleeding-heart socialist.
I want to tell you the truth: you never stop learning.
I want to tell you the truth: you never stop deconstructing.
I was on Twitter back then. I followed every left-of-center person I could find. I was soaking up ideas like a sponge. I took every tweet as gospel, which turned out to be VERY unsustainable.
You see, progressives disagree with each other. A lot. About pretty much everything.
It's not possible to reconcile every idea. You can't please everybody. That's the biggest mistake I made when I was fresh out of the conservative bubble. It took me by surprise how much people who agreed on 95% of issues could turn on each other with such incredible venom. It's something you will have to accept.
You can't just sponge up everyone else's ideas. You have to take everything you read with a grain of salt. It's really okay to apply the same critical thinking you applied to your reactionary political and/or religious beliefs and apply that to what other progressives say. Test everything. Question everything. It really is okay.
On the other hand, you also want to avoid being an argumentative dick. People you agree with most of the time will sometimes express ideas you don't agree with.
If the ideas are genuinely odious (some form of bigotry) then just block them and move on. It's VERY rare to change somebody's mind online. For your own mental health, it's best not to engage unless you are doing so for the sake of others.
Yet what if the idea isn't absolutely odious? What if it's just a reasonable disagreement? In most cases, I'd still recommend not engaging. Instead, study what the other person is saying. See if it makes sense, or if you can at least learn from their perspective.
You can actually learn something from a bad idea. And you don't have to be 100% in alignment with someone to treat them with respect or learn from them.
In conclusion, my new ex-fundies and ex-reactionaries, remember two things. One, it's okay to think critically about the ideas other leftists have. None of us agree on everything! Two, it's better to block than to be an argumentative asshole. And, you can often learn something from folks you disagree with!
Let's make a kinder world!
