So glad someone other than me is pointing this out!
Moving past feeling “lucky” to be able to pursue my desires in life, I can’t help but feel shame when I reflect on the multitude of reasons why Afghanistan has deteriorated to this state. Yet another tragic victim of foreign invasion and meddling, of which my country is complicit.
I really appreciate your points and this comparison, but the pictures are giving me Attack on Titan vibes lol
You know that effect you get when you stare at a dancing soap bubble in the sunlight? All of those! 😊
Exactly. I don’t wear it all the time, but I’m one of the few people at my job that wears a mask (although it’s mainly because I work around people that open mouth cough and sneeze into the air without covering it 🙃). I just try not to be in the office or around people when I’m sick, but I for sure still wear my mask regardless cause I just prefer not to be sick.
I’m such a major fan of the FTC and Chair Khan right now. This is spot on.
Pixelated, even!
It’s not smooth, but it sure acts like it sometimes.
It’s always disturbing to see the influence that money has on information flow. Kudos to Bianca Graulau for having immense journalistic integrity and not backing down on sharing this story!
I love everything you said, but badmouthing pigeons by comparing them to the far right loonies makes me sad lol. Pigeons are lovely, smart(ish), and sweet creatures!
Everything you’ve said here resonates with me. I’m also all for reclaiming words used to harm and repurposing for empowerment. One community that is really good at doing this is the drag/LGBTQ+ folx. Love this!
This, 100%. Did I have a hard time being called a weird kid growing up? Absolutely. I feel how this might make someone very uncomfortable. I embrace being called weird now after much struggle, and use it as a badge of honor. And currently, that exact flippant energy being used at people who can only parrot hateful things? That’s my bread and butter now, baby.
This comment isn’t helpful, but I really love Demon’s Tilt. I appreciate this post and the suggestions here!
Soooo many microplastics leach from tea bags. I dunno, don’t do it OP… I strongly suggest loose leaf in a tin.
What part of the world are you in, if I may ask? Nice pics!
Do. Not. Trust. The. Police.
Is that all these “officials” know how to do? I only ever hear them lying, spinning, redacting, harassing, bullying, shaming, and spewing hate filled messages at people they deem “lesser,” which seems to be a lot of people. (Not to mention the ongoing genocide they’re leading…)
They should have just taken the chance to detain him there, but no one seems to care because there’s too much powerful support for genocide in the West.
