@starlingeliass@itsme_urstruly StumbleUpon was great but you still had to sort through garbage to find the hidden gems. We're leaning more into human curation, including building out editor-selected reading lists and banning content farms.

@pansyandrose211@Milo_H4 The main issue with his post is he implies that they had a choice to pursue more invasive medical interventions (suggesting a stronger ideological stance) but with context it sounds like the baby passed away before they had to make those decisions.
@milkuwu69@backseetBETTY My read from his comments were that she was diagnosed with a few weeks or months to live. Doctors suggested open heart surgery might extend her life by a few months but they could only do the surgery if she gained 2 lbs. She passed away the next day.
@backseetBETTY It sounds like they didn't know the baby had an abnormality until after she was born, then she was diagnosed and they were told she had weeks/months to live if she had heart surgery, which she needed to gain 2-4 lbs to be eligible for. She died a day later.
The top panel depicts a group of women wearing hijab. The bottom panel depicts the same or similar women in private settings without hijab. In the bottom panel, the women are differentiated. They have distinct hairstyles, expressions, postures, personalities, and social relations. They appear as individuals with an inner life. The reader is invited to see them as complex human beings. Nothing in the image visually distinguishes morality police from ordinary veiled women. The representational function is carried by the veil itself. the top panel are denied the very thing the women in the bottom panel possess: a visible inner life. Their subjectivity becomes inaccessible until the veil is removed. reproducing a familiar Orientalist assumption the Muslim woman becomes fully intelligible as a human subject only when she is separated from the symbols and practices associated with Islamic public life.
@TiffaniMarie483 I've always suspected that my youngest brother was the favorite growing up, but as adults I am the only one who lives close to my parents so by default I have the closest relationship with them.
Your relationships with your kids will change over time in ways you can't predict.
@GambelerQuail Same. I'm starting to see the cringe, over-the-top rhetoric I used as an undergrad being recycled amongst the younger generation 15 years later.
le discourse persepolis va bien au-delà de l’œuvre et de son autrice, le malaise que ça provoque montre une fois de plus que les espaces de gauche sont remplis de misogynes bandeurs de théocratie qui veulent juste que les femmes se la boucle
There’s a dark irony to Marjane Satrapi being from a family of leftists and being someone who fled Iran’s theocratic regime to live free, only to be attacked online by leftists in the last few years (and now again with her death) as a mouthpiece of western propaganda vs Iran
it’s always fascinating how callous and cruel leftists can be when a figure (especially a woman let’s admit) doesn’t perfectly align with their interests
I read Persepolis in high school. It is one of those rare, deeply compelling pieces of art that lingers with you even as your worldview evolves.
I'm very saddened to hear that the author has passed.
RIP Marjane Satrapi.

@VictorVyazin@dilanesper Same, I'm a 36yo woman who unexpectedly found herself in a happy relationship last year. But just because it *might* still work out for me to marry and have kids doesn't mean that she's not correct.
@SPQR_Austin@typeclonghouse The serendipitous meet cute was always dependent on people being out in the world. It's just in the post-Covid world people have lost social skills and the habit of being outside.
I never thought I'd see the day that I, a noted eccentric autist, would have to tell people to stop being so insular and antisocial and that its okay to talk to people in public
I shall never forgive Gen Z for making it necessary for me to do this
