Hello and welcome to another episode of I Way with Jimmy Lidge Mill, a podcast that doesn't ever want you to feel shame.

0:06.5

Unless, alright, unless you are one of the people who has been up my ass this week, but a very stressful week.

0:16.2

And it's been alright, it's been alright, I'm alright, but it's been annoying.

0:20.5

I basically heard that Elon Musk had bought Twitter or was buying Twitter and so I was like, well, fuck this then, I'm not staying.

0:28.3

I'm not staying. One of the main things he wanted to focus on changing is having more free speech.

0:34.7

People are already fucking horrendous on that app. So if he's not going to regulate and he's just going to let anyone say anything in the name of quote unquote free speech, which people always misunderstand and take as you can just say whatever the fuck you like, then I'm probably out because racism and transphobia and ableism.

0:57.7

Sexism, all these things are already really bad, rape culture is really bad. It's just so much bad already on that. So we don't need terrible people who don't understand the constitution to have license to be even worse and as a brown woman, I was like, yeah, maybe not.

1:17.4

Maybe not for me. And so I in a very tongue in cheek tweet said I was leaving and that, you know, I've been a minister society anywhere on Twitter, so it's a win win for everyone.

1:29.4

And posted like some cute pictures of barreled and just said this free speech thing makes me fear that there's going to be a rise in hate, bigotry, misogyny, etc.

1:40.4

On the Apple and I wished everyone good luck and I fucked off. You'd think that people who don't like me anyway and don't care about me and never normally engage with me, which is really happy that I've gone and then just get on with their lives, but no, no, no, I would say almost entirely white men exclusively white men have gone fucking bananas over this.

2:08.4

They're obsessed. They're screaming. They're crying. They're wanking. They're wheezing. They can't seem to believe it. They're very upset that I've left and they're saying somehow that I am a fascist for suppressing their free speech. When I haven't done that, I've just left.

2:25.4

I can't stop you from talking, but I can't stop myself from having to hear you. I'm not suppressing anyone. I'm not oppressing anyone. I'm just governing my own self. And they seem to be very upset by this to the point where they've gotten off Twitter because I'm not there anymore after having like, I don't know, God said God knows what whatever it is on Twitter is so bad that everyone I know in their dog has texted me to check if I'm okay.

2:51.4

I've read anything there because I deleted it off my phone and all my devices. So I'm thankfully non the wiser, but normally when that many people check on you is pretty bad. Anyway, anyway, they've left fucking Twitter and come to Instagram and created accounts solely to do this and have then followed me because you can only comment on my Instagram if you follow me to prevent shit like this.

3:12.4

So they followed me to be able to send me nasty comments and DMs that tell me horrible abusive things really scary things and then a lot of them have gone out of their way to do all this just to tell me they don't care that I've left Twitter.

3:27.4

I think you do care. I think you care quite a lot. I think it'll very upset. I think you miss me, which is really weird. And I think you need to get a fucking job and a life and a cuddle and a therapist if possible.

3:41.4

Because why the fuck are you a grown adult with hair on your balls coming to another platform and going through all that trouble to find someone who clearly you must know who they are because you've typed in their name to find them on another app.

3:55.4

And you've read about them in the papers and you say I don't know who you are. No one cares that you've left. You do care. And you're boring me. And that is the worst crime ever. You're boring me.

4:06.4

I left to get away from all of you. Why are you chasing me? I have one theory aside from obviously the fucking patriarchy or hatred.

4:17.4

I call them aside from this fucking male entitlement, especially white male entitlement. And this doesn't say all white men. I know some of you listen to this fucking podcast. I'm not saying all men, but I'm just saying and astonishing amount of tens of thousands. I was on fucking Fox News apparently all day.

4:35.4

I've been shit. They've been going out their way to betray me is crazy. They literally said I was hysterical for my tongue and cheek like tweet that had emojis in it and pictures of my dog. So dumb. Anyway.

4:47.4

One of my theories is that I think these people, especially the men involved don't like it when someone just decides for themselves. I don't think I want to be here anymore. Actually, I think I'm just going to go. So I don't really feel like it.

5:05.4

They want to like chase you off the site. They don't like that. I just left of my own volition. I left with agency. I wasn't driven off. I was just like, no thanks.
