Climate, international shitshow, human & environmental rights & whatever interests me. Irish, she/her. Mostly harmless but inclined to bite or at least relentlessly mock bigots. Irrational fear of harmonicas. Figuring out new place.

Imperialist wars of aggression are bad. Ukraine is one. Palestine is another. If Russia/Israel win, Ukraine/Palestine are no more.

If you're fine with one and against the other, please unfollow/don't follow. You're pro-genocide or anti-genocide, there's no "but just one little genocide plz?" to it.

I'm also sorry that happened to you, (posted before finishing), that's a horrible thing to do.

Jesus. O.o I think that is an unusually hostile workplace. I saw below you mentioned an official body being involved, so I hope it was dealt with.

I haven't seen any and was wondering what the heck was happening right down to the first comment. 😆

Whatever the pope looses on earth, is also loosed in heaven. Whosoever the pope heckleth on earth is heckled by heaven.

Or something to that effect.

You come across as very tiresome to be around. I hope you're less ...this...in real life.

Not even a pope's blessing could make them good at hurling, unfortunately. 😆

The creaking and groaning as little-used braincells try desperately to whirr back to life will be quite...something.

I definitely feel for them. I mean yeah, they're nd wealthy, top of the class ladder etc, but it must be tough to go to work daily in an utterly corrupted institution that *cannot* be fixed by resigning or reporting it etc. All you can do is hang in there and yell dissenting opinions to the ether.

-mill, if anything, it's seen as an achievement. Now pinned in place IRL and aggressively questioned on their bullshit, that probably would temporarily work bc they're used to hiding behind keyboards. But only until they can run off to online safety again.

I think one issue with these guys is that, from the messages, they are internet forum trolls in real life. They were molded by the nastier sorts of chatrooms where "irony" and shock-value is prized, gives social standing. So people merely being horrified and disgusted by them is just grist to their-

It's the baldness. Some men can just pull off agelessly bald.

That is such a sad but lovely photo. May the little one be safe at least. RIP Saleh al-Jafarawi.

Ah, yes, if the double-hate LEDs at the front turn on, it's working as intended.

I finished that book while high on (actual) flu and for years I thought I'd imagined how weirdly fkd up that ending was. Retried it years later and ...nope, King had the issues there, not me!

He lets Elsa there in and he'll have about 30 seconds to regret his life choices before she walks back out leaving only an incredibly realistic ice statue in the hall.

If you punch him and a nazi, that's still probably only one punch.

Depends, there is such thing as too much pulp, especially if you have to eat your juice with a spoon.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.
