DA - I agree that venting is healthy and sometimes you just need to get that out into the world so you can feel better and move on. And I get it, the US (and the world) is in a sucky place especially for marginalized people. But I feel like a lot of people don't actually know what healthy venting vs emotional dumping is. Healthy venting includes things like "talking through a negative feeling with the goal of understanding why something bothered you and how to better respond in the future*" - but that's not what OP is doing.
