Grief Gating

The act of selectively mourning the death of someone based on their political or ideological alignment, while ignoring or rationalizing the deaths of those outside one’s tribe. A form of emotional compartmentalization that reveals unconscious bias in expressions of empathy.

When the invited speaker was killed, the campus held vigils and posted tributes. But when a student protester died last year, barely anyone mentioned it. That’s grief gating—mourning filtered through ideological lenses.

The Corner Gate

The corner of the playground which will forever be marked to the class of 2019 class. normally inhabited by the “popular kids” was the back to base start line every time it was also fun to just shove people into the gates so it made a loud noise and scared the teachers. also there’s a weird creepy drain that we pulled up once and we saw a whole load of 💩. 4/10 not a nice experience but it was funny.

Person 1 - Hey you comming to The Corner Gate

Person 2 - Duh, we’re playing back to base today

Person 1 - okay i’ll see you after lunch i’ve got hot meal

Person 2 - i’ve got packed lunch so we can meet at the benches

take gate

"Take gate" is a wordplay on "to take offense" (= take a fence), because offense sounds similar to "a fence".

He took gate when she talked about him. Why does he always take gate?
