Mentioned to a coworker that I'm getting some books, for example on autism, and as they showed interest in the topic, proceeded to lightly info dump. Did give some space so that it was a true conversation. However, it reminded me of a thing I've been pondering.
As I present male, I've always been overly cautious of not mansplaining -- or at least ever since I learned about the term. Now that I know I'm autistic, I understand it's entangled with having learned that NTs don't like infodumping.
Whatever the cause, I have a tendency to stay silent even if I know about the topic at hand but aren't 100% certain that it's appropriate to talk about it. Sometimes it makes me sad.
@JapanProf ABSOLUTELY 💯 % agree. The world should be a loving magical place where we all get to explore our own human existence freely. These innocent souls are being violently robbed of their Earthly experience. #ceasefirenow#freepalestine#saverafah
@Miro_Collas the only reason I am more heavily focused on #Gaza is because I feel a sense of obligation when the country ruling my society is actively engaged. To my knowledge ( and I am probably wrong), the US is currently not involved in the Sudan crisis… 💔. We need for all of this violence to end permanently for everyone. 💔 this is wasting everyone’s reality and life experience on this planet. Condoning mass murder of innocent like this is absolutely disgusting insanity.
@DrALJONES I feel like our government has revealed the underside of an iceberg it has been hiding from average American. A democracy, sadly, is prime for distraction and ignorance of government. I would say impeachment but I don’t think USA is what I thought it was.. https://twitter.com/MegaGeopolitics/status/1778128103555977265
#Gaza / Israel's restrictions to Gaza aid may amount to war crime, says UN rights office
[…] "The extent of Israel's continued restrictions on entry of aid into Gaza, together with the manner in which it continues to conduct hostilities, may amount to the use of starvation as a method of war, which is a war crime," said UN Human Rights Office spokesperson Jeremy Laurence.
@oatmeal@israel@palestine the most difficult thing about this is that it will be too late and that was the whole point and it worked and they made us all witness and it will likely get increasingly worse for the global population if the world continues to allow it… ok, “things.” 💔horrible things… Palestine, Sudan and Yemen are all hands on deck events. There are a few others not listed. I am pretty sure entire global population needs to contribute hours to get things back to subpar. 😒
Today, made my traditional St Paddy’s dinner (not to be confused with a traditional Irish meal for the same occasion. I don’t even know if there is one, tbh.)… brown bread, colcannon, home-cured corned beef, Alaskan Smoked Porter (not pictured).
@mivox Netanyahu and all who support this mass killing are stealing joy from the entire planet. Their misdeeds are not yours… I think we just do what we need respectfully and know that we are not genocidal maniacs. Stay strong and keep fighting. Don’t let them win by breaking us all down and making us weak mentally and/or physically. We should eat and stay strong for the fight because the Palestinians don’t have the opportunity to do so…
[...] The protest has been called by a group of organizers, artists and film workers in collaboration with Writers Against the War on Gaza LA (WAWOG), Film Workers for Palestine, SAG-AFTRA Members for Ceasefire and many others, as they say, “No awards during a genocide!”
@adachika192@oatmeal@palestine what are awards and who is worthy if we cannot stop mass murder and starvation of INNOCENT children and their parents? What are we so special for on this planet now? Nah, no thanks…all elevated humanism frozen until the murder stops… the only people deserving awards and accolades are those making impact for #ceasefirenow
@retrohondajunki isn’t their script there are no innocent civilians in Gaza? I think that is how he justifies this in his brain. Still going to be held accountable for every innocent death tho. Doesn’t change facts. Everyone of us have a Gd granted life his regime is not permitted to take… we are not collateral damage. Never have been and never will be. No such thing. #ceasefirenow#releasethehostagesnow
Open letter to the organisers of the Bologna Children’s Book Fair:
As illustrators, authors and publishers dedicated to creating meaningful and beautiful books for children, we have come together to highlight an urgent and pertinent issue.
One last thing. I can’t do much stuck in bed but I can post this.
#Palestinian journalist #Bisan live-streamed while being bombed in a supposed safe haven for the seventh time. She asked for us to #strike on January 21 2024 in any way we are capable of doing. It’s a Sunday so that makes it easier if you’re on the fence. Help stop a genocide.
@appassionato@palestine every nation should absolutely condemnation furthering of this mass bombing, starvation and murder campaign while also focusing on ‘political solutions.’ They are not Al all going to stop unless the world uses force to stop them. 👎

@appassionato@palestine a few people on this planet sure do orchestrate massive suffering for so many at scale. Truly disturbing, disgraceful and disgusting. I can’t even come close to being able to understand how they can justify this in their own head(s) and/or live with themselves.
