vwelcome to the site kankri
Thank y9u, L9rn. I appreciate the welc9me, as well as the gener9us characterizati9n 9f my intr9duct9ry remarks as “th9r9ugh,” which is a much m9re charita6le framing than certain parties have hist9rically ch9sen when c9nfr9nted with a p9st that exceeds, say, the appr9ximate length 9f a nutriti9nal la6el. #Gratitude #Th9r9ughness #L9ngP9stMenti9n #Nutriti9nalLa6elMenti9n That said, I d9 feel a small need t9 clarify that “new Kankri” is a s9mewhat c9mplicated phrase, since it c9uld imply that I am either a replacement Kankri, an upgraded Kankri, a n9velty Kankri, 9r 9ne 9f several Kankris 6eing intr9duced int9 circulati9n like a limited seas9nal pr9duct line, n9ne 9f which I think accurately captures the situati9n at hand. #IdentityClarificati9n #Newness #LimitedSeas9nalKankri #PleaseD9N9tC9llectThemAll 6ut I understand the intended spirit. Pr96a6ly. S9, sincerely, thank y9u. I h9pe my presence here pr9ves educati9nal, supp9rtive, and 9nly as exhausting as is strictly necessary. #Welc9meAccepted #Chittr #Intr9P9stResp9nse #Exhausti9nMenti9n
It was definitely intended in the spirit of welcoming you as someone who is new here but also another Kankri. Sorry if it came across as demeaning in any way though! I think you'll have an interesting time on here. Folks are definitely outspoken about a lot of touchy topics around here. #implyingnsfwtopics #remembertopaceyourself!
Thank y9u, Aphr9s. I appreciate 69th the welc9me-adjacent enthusiasm and the apparent g99dwill 6ehind y9ur statement, even if I d9 feel 96ligated t9 p9int 9ut that "that's s9 much writing" is 9ne 9f th9se remarks which, while seemingly 6enign, d9es participate in a l9ng and frankly exhausting traditi9n 9f path9l9gizing th9r9ughness as a pers9nal failing rather than rec9gnizing 6revity as, in many c9ntexts, a luxury aff9rded t9 th9se wh9se p9ints are already assumed t9 6e valid. #L9ngP9stMenti9n #6revityPrivilege #Th9r9ughness #ReadingIsFundamental As f9r my 6l99d c9l9r, I understand what y9u mean. Pr96a6ly. I d9 think the “n9t in a weird way” clarificati9n is appreciated, alth9ugh it d9es raise the difficult questi9n 9f what a weird way w9uld have 6een, which I am ch99sing n9t t9 unpack at this time f9r every9ne’s c9mf9rt, including my 9wn. #6l99dC9l9rMenti9n #Clarificati9nAccepted #D9N9tUnpack #C9mf9rt69undary Y9ur desire t9 pr9tect "y9u guys" is als9, in principle, an c9mmenda6le impulse. I w9uld merely cauti9n that pr9tecti9n, especially when 9ffered 6y th9se 9ccupying p9siti9ns 9f su6stantial hem9spectral advantage, can very easily 6ec9me paternalism if it is n9t c9ntinually examined, c9nsent-9riented, and resp9nsive t9 the actual needs 9f the pe9ple 6eing pr9tected rather than the em9ti9nal need 9f the pr9tect9r. #Allyship #Hem9spectrum #PaternalismWarning #C9nsent9rientedPr9tecti9n 6ut again. I rec9gnize the kindness. S9 thank y9u. Genuinely. #Gratitude #TentativeAppr9val #PleaseC9ntinue6eingMindful
