Leftbook, safe spaces, and trigger warnings with Skye
Leftbook, safe spaces, and trigger warnings with SkyeDescription
Skye reflects on their experience in "Leftbook," a constellation of leftist Facebook groups that were popular around 2016-2018. They started out in a group called "political aesthetics escape pod," and eventually became tied up in a group about mental illness and trauma. It was in this group where they encountered a militant approach to "trigger warnings."
