You know who values ppl who have no filter, who "says it like it is" + "doesn't mince words?"
Ppl who want to say the ugliest things, unfiltered.
All an excuse to exhibit poor skills for discussing important things. Often name-calling, bigoted + misogynistic ppl, as these are their values.

A year ago today I prepared to leave Honolulu. It was a strange trip, overshadowed by the election + a local hotel strike. People were fighting for a living wage while billionaires profited from their labor. They settled a few days before the election. I felt so happy for them. I hope they're okay.
