@BrentSullivan That being said what started out as speaking truth to power and protesting a war has dangerously devolved into something else entirely and that needs to be acknowledged.

@BrentSullivan I would argue that social media algorithms are indeed a method of radicalization.

It may not be what the movement is about but it is what brings and inspired the chaos agents to do their thing. I don’t disbelieve that these protests started out with the intention of limiting less needless killing—because the IDF tactics have shown to be unexpectedly careless, given their vast technology and training (see: world central kitchen.)

@Keysalagain “cloaked war bird…”

@BrentSullivan and to be clear, I strongly agree that aid should include strict conditions.

@BrentSullivan calling out war crimes should not involve vilifying, intimidating, or harassing university students who identify as one religion/ethnicity or the other. Protesting war is one thing. Protesting a People—no matter which People—is another.

Good morning. Trying to escape the news cycle but it’s one of those train wreck mornings you can’t look away from.

Florida abortion bans, university war protests. Chaos agents trying to radicalize young people.

What are we doing here? What is the goal?

Allergy season is the worst. I am a light sleeper. So light that a whisper or tiptoe jolts me awake. I wake up startled by every sound. 😱 So when the allergies of my husband and child are in full swing, I lay here awake thinking of how whomever coined the term, “cacophony,” must have surely meant “ca-cough-ony.” And then I roll my eyes at myself, start to drowse, only to wake like a maniac at the next cough.

@Tacitus_Kilgore fuck it even hostile alien invasion would be blamed on Obama. You just know it would.

@Tacitus_Kilgore too bad Covid only proved to exacerbate every issue. Climate change too. Short of hostile alien invasion, IDK what would humble humanity.

@th3j35t3r I am so sorry you have that crap on your plate. But I’m also super grateful you give us the power to reject that toxic, hateful drivel as a community.

@th3j35t3r oof and imagine what he does to people who reject him in real life. 😳

Reading the Pets Rule! Series to my 6yr old. It is surprisingly suspenseful. We also blew through all of the Once Upon a Fairy Tale series. And I’ve got book 1 of Geronimo Stilton on hold at the library.

I am such a pushover mom when the request is, “PLEASE mommy! One more chapter?!”

Gets me every time.

@Yarnchick I keep skating by with the injection every couple of months. And trying not to sleep with my wrist up under my face/pillow at night.

@Yarnchick I have the one the doctor gave me but this one is lighter, lower profile, and more comfortable, in my opinion.
