There’s a lot of “purity testing” we do that don’t see on the other side.

So much this. I used to do a fair bit of volunteering for lefty politics and causes. There wasn’t overt judgement of people other volunteers who weren’t “pure” but there was a weird feeling of trying to be perfect.

I wish we exuded more of a “come as you are” vibe. I don’t give a shit if you and your fam drove to a climate protest. You’re taking time out of your day to do it. Ducking A. Drive safe on the way home and see you next time.
