we don't just have a capitalism problem or a government problem or an economic problem. there is something that is wrong spiritually. "a shaking wreck where nothing grows". we ruined ourselves for development better than anyone else. and now here we are
I mean seriously is there a sicker society in the world than one where people lose their jobs and then just roam the streets starving and covered in dirt and everyone just says "don't look at them"
Covid killed the pope. And the queen. And Pele. It’s the reason Biden dropped out. It’s why your favourite artist is sick, stopped touring or has come down with serious health complications. It’s why the kids are failing at school, it’s why the schools are failing. It’s all Covid
The email instructs international students to tell @Columbia admin if they are at risk of deportation. Mahmoud and Mohsen did that. They were both ignored and are now detained. Do not trust Columbia to protect you. If you are an international student, Columbia is not safe.
President Claire Shipman of Columbia University just sent out an email advertising an "International Student Relief Hardship Fund". When you click on the link for "Special Student Relief", you're taken to the ICE website to report people. Sent this after a student was detained.
Scrolling social media makes it harder to read books because it trains your brain to discard previous context in order to understand the next thing, whereas understanding the next thing in a book requires retaining previous context.
If you're single, a useful habit to build is that whenever you see someone that makes you curious, you go talk them. I mean in the supermarket and stuff. Not in a pickup artist way, but just being open to the world.
@schnappi14pres @eksenwpy@official_ferd@kvshlvk @LegoLas44941816 Trans women are women in the same way that an office chair is a chair. Someone who was like "chairs don't have wheels!!!" would exclude the office chair but it very much would have still been created, and exist. "No that's a failed wagon!" ....no, it was made to be a chair.
@schnappi14pres @eksenwpy@official_ferd@kvshlvk @LegoLas44941816 The secret sauce of life is minding your own business.
Do you want me, a random strangers, to start investigating how well you perform your gender and whether you have a peepee or a coochie or some other combination of junk?
No?
Then get off the ride and join us on the ground
@schnappi14pres @eksenwpy@official_ferd@kvshlvk @LegoLas44941816 Intersex people also exist and have medical conditions that require not being "corrected" to one of two sexes but attuned, personal care to live a comfortable life with their body as it is or to make changes they consent to.
@schnappi14pres @eksenwpy@official_ferd@kvshlvk @LegoLas44941816 If you want to be a pedant, then sure let's go there.
Transsexuality has a material, biological basis. Dysphoria is a documented medical condition that can be treated with hormones and social adjustments and sometimes surgery.
There is nothing to defend here for you.
@schnappi14pres @eksenwpy@official_ferd@kvshlvk @LegoLas44941816 If gender shouldn't matter to anybody then lead by example and stop making everything about your weird fixation on policing it

@etherealfemme I interpreted the common denominator logic as related to why I stayed in relationships where I was being used & my needs disregarded on a regular basis. Most would leave but my autistic & traumatised self stayed far too long. I've since learnt but it took me decades of toxic ppl
