Well I mean the US didn’t give a shit when the IDF intentionally killed Shireen Akleh, US citizen and journalist reporting on the 2022 violence in the West Bank at a refugee camp. Why would they care? The US government will never drop their support of Israel and will never take action against the state. Israel could sink a carrier and the US would still debate whether or not they should take action.
I agree, we as citizens need to continue to pressure politicians into action against genocide. But I’m concerned that the grassroots pressure is going to fall apart as soon as the elections are over, regardless of who wins. I think the world is heading towards the next cycle of violence instead of stopping it in the here-and-now, with no justice for those that are suffering.
You underestimate my ability to mask. It’s literally been automatic for me as long as I can remember. Find the person I like most within 5 minutes, and immediately cling to their style of humor and behavior. Then I stand in the circle and don’t speak unless spoken to. Then everyone just assumes I’m a giant teddy bear and don’t mind my company.

I understand that eye contact is important for communication, but I just get intensely uncomfortable if it feels like more than a few seconds. I keep something I can fidget with around me at all times, to give a reason to break eye contact. I’ve also leaned into “animated” listening: exaggerated expressions so they know I’m listening. I think it also conveys more trust with the person, because they get much more comfortable sharing after a couple minutes even without lots of eye contact.
Over time, a population of proto-chickens lay eggs with unique genetic variations that randomly direct the population towards laying eggs that result in modern chickens. The egg comes first, and it’s a whole bunch of them

Well for one thing, that’s absolutely not true. I know cis men that do drag shows. Men that are part of femboy culture are doing a gender we call femboy.
It’s certainly bizarre. I think it’s transmedicalism, but it could be any number of bizarre ERF ideologies. They crop up like weeds. I’ve already blocked them and reported the post though, so hopefully it gets handled soon.
This article is pointless, I mean it doesn’t even have a step-by-step to make sure no one exploits it. I certainly would never use a bug in software to get free laundry.
