i feel a bit guilty for never being on this account anymore but to be honest it just feels a bit awkward to use now!
i made this account over 15 years ago & while on one hand it’s been a vehicle for me meeting so many wonderful people it’s also a long, embarrassing odyssey of Me
@madisontayt_ this is such a weird point of smugness americans have to compare themselves positively to germans or french who they see as being more pretentious. white americans pretend they cant understand black ppl half the time! i work with old white ppl & they feign ignorance constantly!
US leftists are so negatively polarized by europeans shitting on the US online & complaining about climate crisis induced heatwaves that theyll be retweeting a demented treatler rant from an ex-NATO Reason writer on a Paris vacation
Hot take: Europe is a bunch of third-world countries with better branding. No A/C. No dryers. Ice is a luxury. You’ll sweat through dinner while the waiter ignores you for 2 hours. Say what you want about America, but at least eating out doesn’t feel like hot yoga with bread.
@SP0UTNIK1 a white who refuses to speak the majority language of the community she lives in while also belittling/being racist to an algérienne member of that community??? there are L’Étrager by Camus’ everywhere for those with eyes to see 😭
@MssrCreosote @jwordfish hey just checking again, looking for some sort of answer to whether or not you think if people knew more about Palestine they’d be okay with their government financing their genocide
@TheCrimesMan@julianfeeld it’s never actually been challenged in court because there has never been a prospective president who wasn’t a native born citizen! so it’s technically not impossible, just unlikely, that he could make it there
@Puzzle80X@NathanJRobinson i don’t think it is particularly empathetic to avoid talking about the genocide the US government is financing in Gaza, especially now that he isn’t in the government
without naming the Epstein associate specifically i’ll just say that if you think of a filmmaker disgraced for Epstein adjacent stuff before MeToo you will probably get it lol
context: i was a teenager, the state department spook was also a teenager (didnt join the DOS for a few years), the beating was him & his partner play fighting in the very teenage “why was no one supervising us” way
