You see, the thing is, the blogs that get labeled “social justice blogs” (like my own) get death threats on a damn near daily basis. Some of us have felt so unsafe that they have deleted their blogs, made them dashboard only, or in my case changed their url. We know the damage that can be done with those threats. We know what it feels like to fear for your life and the lives of your family members.

Now, with all of that said, what type of sense would it make for us to send those threats? How would it make any type of sense for us to inflict that same type of pain upon someone we only disagreed with and were attempting to send constructive criticism to? Ask yourself that question. Seriously sit down and think about it. Can’t come up with a good answer now can you? Thought so.

I hadn’t been super active on tumblr for a few days and I came back and I noticed that a bunch of people I follow had changed their urls… I was pretty sure there must have been even more nastiness directed at these people than usual.  aaand I was right surprise surprise.

I honestly don’t know how y’all have put up with it this long.  You see shit that would have me crying in a corner.
