It feels empty and shallow to just hit "like" in response to this, but there's not much else I can do, other than to say that I do understand what you're saying and you are not wrong.

I try to switch up which part of my body I scan every morning, just to keep things interesting. I don't even remember what I scanned this morning, but I'm sure it was great.

As a former TA, I've had students make grade appeals before. Sometimes a grade really IS given unfairly, but there are ways of fixing that without congress getting involved. It is extremely obvious that this is motivated by a desire to eliminate trans people from public life, and nothing else.

"Trying to make a comic" is about where I am.
I've had a lot of anxiety around making comics recently. I was planning to write a rough draft for a graphic novel in November, but I froze up.
So, I'm easing myself into it by doodling in a sketchbook and writing "garbage comics" as a daily exercise.

If you've heard too many puns and you want them to stop, that's called "getting your Punxsutawney fill".

Do you mean that DHSgov is not the real Department of Homeland Security account, or that the screenshot is fabricated and that the pictured account (whether it's the real DHS or not) isn't actually based in Israel?

I am out of the loop. What did Spotify do, and what slightly more ethical alternative should I switch to?

I think there is instrumental value in making the place I live better, seeing as how I live here and can vote here. But I try to act with the goal of improving human lives, not out of loyalty for the area within an arbitrary border.

The government? Sometimes they do something useful, but "love" feels like a weird emotion to have for a government.
Some abstract and fictitious "idea" of Canada? If this is what you believe, then we really are getting into fascism territory.

What am I actually "loving" when I love my country (in my case, Canada)?
The people? I love my friends and family, but there are some awful people from Canada, and some great people from other places.
The land? Why should I care about inanimate matter inside an arbitrary border more than outside?
