I started posting on TikTok less than a year ago and I'm now a full-time creator getting paid by startups and billion dollar companies alike to do what I love, and it all started because I was willing to throw things at the wall and be seen as "cringe" without overthinking it

Seemingly “natural” homogeneous gatherings like this are a result of the systematic exclusion of marginalized people and further perpetuate the marginalization. Here are my favorite tweets pointing out this absurdity.

@noahkagan I think the tragedy of this conflict is that “one side must suffer for the other to be safe/free” is a self-fulfilling prophecy that perpetuates the intractability of the situation. The only sane perspective I’ve seen is to recognize the two fates as ultimately intertwined.

Being afraid of seeming "cringe" when you start posting content online is a sign you're focusing too much on yourself and not enough on being of service. The more you care about adding value, the less it will matter how you look in the process of doing it. Shift your focus.

I often tell people I became an "accidental creator" because I never would have expected to be an "influencer" (let alone on on TikTok!) given how terrified I was of putting myself out there. But eventually I overcame this fear and here's what helped. 👇🏼

Lost followers from expressing concern over the safety of Palestinians in Gaza. Lost followers from condemning the atrocities of Hamas. It seems like supporting the sanctity of human life no matter whose it is has become a controversial take. But that will never change my mind.

You can condemn atrocities against Israelis without devolving into genocidal rhetoric against Palestinians. You can support a military response against Hamas without cheering on the killing of civilians in Gaza. Do not abandon your humanity in the stupor of your indignation.
