People are so dismissive about what’s happening in Gaza, to the point that no one in the room knew how (or cared) to engage a convo about loss of human life bc they couldn’t get past their own discomfort. Folks are being killed but sure, pivot the convo.
In high school, I was complaining about how long the school day was and my teacher turned to me and said, "the days are long, but the years are short" and I was like "what the fuck are you talking about you lunatic" and then the bell rang and now I'm in my 30s.
