A lot of people also aren’t falling for it since they remember 01

I’m sure a lot of people can see that, but it’s also kinda ironic how people who weren’t even old enough to truly remember post-9/11 are far more on the right side of history on this lol

Like I’m 20, no one my age was even born on 9/11 and yet it definitely seems like the majority of people my age support Palestine, and actively supporting Israel almost seems fringe. Meanwhile most 30-35+ year old Americans who should be seeing the parallels seem like proud zionists

Ok that makes sense, in my head I honestly assumed an abbreviation or a euphemism for the word you’re talking about in the spoiler would have the same effect, but I didn’t think about how different words can be more striking.

their communities are, quite something,

Ngl I don’t fully understand the point of content warnings in so many cases where the warning is equally as potentially triggering as the content itself.

I get it if the content of the post is actually worse, but in a lot of cases it’s like, people already mention the same exact thing they’re giving a warning for… by saying it in the warning. Example:

I’m also bi and have a cat like this. I think he likes girls more in general though, even when I bring a guy friend over he’s hissing at him, but he’s always immediately warm to girls? He was abused by a man in the past so I think I’m pretty much the only man he likes (when I first got him it took a while for him to like me)

He especially hates when I date men and have them over a lot. He doesn’t scratch or bite but he peed in my ex-bf’s limited edition nike shoes as well as on his work pants that were on the floor! He’s neutered and these are literally the only occasions he’s peed outside of his litter box

showing off your white privilege

Idk mate, not so sure if race is as important of a privilege factor here when we’re comparing a sheltered multimillionaire Harvard graduate with lifetime secret service protection to a queer indie artist who dropped out of public college because she couldn’t afford it (and had little recognition until the last couple years). I’m not saying Lucy Dacus doesn’t have white privilege or Obama hasn’t experienced racism, but come fucking on, liberals have no grasp on intersectionality

This is a major W but also makes me think about the fact women assigned male at birth have to suppress their testosterone levels to such extreme amounts if they want to compete in women’s sports, yet women assigned female at birth can compete even if they have abnormally high natural t-levels.

I’m also in uni and have had a similar experience meeting queer people everywhere on campus, but most guys (and girls) I’ve talked to have only been interested in hook ups or situationships, never anything serious 😭 though I must admit I don’t really put myself out there much in the first place
