I will always boost this quote; that’s just the rules. But the image doesn’t have alt, so here’s the key text:
“Sometimes people use ‘respect’ to mean ‘treating someone like a person’ and sometimes they use ‘respect’ to mean ‘treating someone like an authority’
“and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say ‘if you won't respect me I won't respect you’ and they mean ‘if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person.’” https://mstdn.ca/@Schteve/113023778195165583

@inthehands better yet, how about an actual fucking source https://soycrates.tumblr.com/post/115633137923/stimmyabby-sometimes-people-use-respect-to-mean

@nev @inthehands OP hasn't deleted, just changed URLs, so there is still a live link to the original (albeit missing the name usually associated, so possibly a minus there): https://flyingpurplepizzaeater.tumblr.com/post/115216522824/sometimes-people-use-respect-to-mean-treating
Although I... don't know how much more functional of a link that'd be -- she just sorta disappeared, stopped posting, in 2018. Maybe, a link to the original blog makes you able to click around and read the rest of her writing?
Which, I guess, you should, imo -- this post wasn't a one-off. She was one of the best wordsmiths of our generation.... is? was? is?
... FRICK, I'm sorry I just miss her so freaking much.
