@joel_falcou@mastodon.social @chartier@toot.cafe ....If you only knew even a fraction of how badly off base you are....I didnt have academic opportunities. I didn't even have a real chance to graduate from high school. I had to get my GED at 17. Why? Because i was randomly singled out for special abuse during the satanicpanic by hysterical zealots staffing PUHSD. Now i'm not a man given to wantonly hurt, but if you'd said such a thing to my face at any point after age 15 you'd shortly be finding yourself spitting teeth.

@joel_falcou@mastodon.social @chartier@toot.cafe I am what I am DESPITE a public school system wanting me dead. I educated myself as I travelled the world on the survival skills I was forced to perfect just to survive those years. I always had 2-3 college textbooks in my duffel to read filling dead time between gigs. I don't let SM OP-ED bug me. But you've unintentionally stumbled into a minefeild because of all the lost life opportunities I might have had if it were even remotely true. knowing that now, care to reframe?
