so there's been these silly things like moevember, no shave november, no nut november, etc. [why always my month damn it?] also sober october.
so i was thinkin of other types of things to do like this. came up with Direct December.
way back in the mid 90s i came to a phrase i'd use a lot, which ended up getting very widespread - I'm just saying. used in the context of telling a friend, family member, or any random jackass something that could be offensive or hurtful but in a way that is meant to elucidate the status so it can be improved upon. now we got all this outrage permanently offended subculture. something like a #DirectDecember would probably breakthrough a lot of that conditioning and allow people to constructively critique each other, as well as be more direct with positive things they might not have had the courage to state before.
things generally go bad when communications break down. it'd be good to rebuild comms, if only for a month.
