It& #39;s that time of the year where I see lots of "call you family members out at the holidays" tweets, and let me make something very clear... You don& #39;t have to.

If you& #39;re unsafe, if you don& #39;t have the energy, if you need to keep your head down. You can. Eat your pie and go.

You don& #39;t owe anyone on Twitter a single goddamn thing. Don& #39;t let anyone make you feel like you MUST do something to prove your social justice prowess to toxic family members when you& #39;re forced/expected to spend time and share space with them, usually, against your will.

Eat your dinner. Enjoy the people you& #39;re there to enjoy. Engage in conversations if you can/want to and remember that these big, giant voices on Twitter do not know a single thing about you, your situation, your family or your mental health.

You. Don& #39;t. Owe. Anyone. Anything.

These typos will haunt me until Yule.
