I mean I guess that this is certainly one very privileged way to engage with social media, where you already know everything so what’s the point in listening and learning, but I am unquestionably a better informed and more engaged person because of people on Twitter whose labor was invaluable to me

As a lurker, I learned so much from Black Twitter that as a middle-aged suburban white lady, I wouldn't know. Like, I liked to think I was mostly well-meaning, but the change in my frame of mind was important to my growth as a person.

It’s good to get other points of view!! You’ll feel enriched. I certainly learned that politician decision within the same sphere is healthy to broaden your scope, even if you don’t agree. And the arguments aren’t wrong just because you disagree on some detail.

I have had the entire world opened up for me by being exposed to countless marginalized communities that I’d otherwise had very little opportunity to meet and learn from IRL. But I also had to do that *with intention*.

It's also a very odd self-own. Like, ok, stipulate that you've never learned anything from anyone else's posts bc Boomer/X cis white man. You're ALSO saying you know for sure no one has learned anything or chosen to take an action from one of yours? EVER? REALLY? You're that insipid??
