Music Hello, delicious friends, and welcome to Who Did What Now, the History Podcast

That's not your history class, with me your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlet and Reader of Books.

Oh, there's a spider on the curtains. Sorry, I looked up and saw a spider. That's unpleasant.

It's one of the spindly ones, like a daddy long legs with no wings. Those are the creepy ones.

I don't care. You show me a tarantula. It's furry. You could pet it.

It's fine. That motherfucker is spindly and it is plotting my demise. I can feel it.

Anywho, I've spent a lot of time the last couple days just arguing on the internet, which I know

is a fruitless task, but sometimes I just

can't help myself, especially when arseholes decide to tone police me, which is fucking

bullshit, right? It's this whole thing where people feel the need. Condem your tone or your anger,

but not what caused it? Like it doesn't matter what the injustice is you expect to act calm in the face of it, is if there's something

wrong with having real human feelings about something. And what really gets on my frankly

fabulous tits is when people go,

Oh, don't let them have the power over you to make you feel like this,

or don't let them make you angry.

And of course, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

What in the victim-blaming tomfuckery is this? No, absolutely no.

That's not true. That is absolutely not true. Oh, you can only feel bad because you allow yourself to do that.

It's just like this whole false positivity movement, which is like,

oh, you have to feel good about this and you have to not let things bother you. And it's like,

no, some things can be water off a duck's back and let it not bother you. But this, this bothers me.
