Nobody is "unproblematic." Lord knows I'm not. I often say & do stupid things. It's not realistic to expect anyone to be perceived as unproblematic by everyone all the time. Best we can do is try to be kind, learn to do better by each other & admit when we mess up. Still trying! pic.twitter.com/mQDE7WG0dh
