I called out my dad for his hateful views on social media. Really hateful. Like calling Michelle Obama a monkey and calling for the extermination of lgbtq+. I told him I’ve had more people in those groups help me in my life than he ever has, and by being passive towards his hate I was dishonoring them and the work they did for me.
He wrote me out of his will. (I didn’t lose much, he made near minimum wage his whole life, but it’s all he had left to do). He hasn’t spoken to me in 9 years now since then. Don’t care. Much better people have filled the role.

Life is so much better when you cut shitty people out of your life, even if they are family.
“you only got one family”
“yeah you only have one appendix too but when that starts screwing with your health you cut it out of your life too”
