@NorieTheDreamer definitely guilty of this, especially yday!

@weavingist This i can definitely see. Especially with how defensive people can be in these online spaces for example

What are y'alls opinions on complimenting people when they do the "bare minimum," but the "bare minimum" is above what the average person does. I.e., when is it positive reinforcement vs an inappropriate response? And does it matter the specifics of who is involved?

@haxiware u can do it 😭 im in the same boat

guys i did NOT study again we are #doomed

i made more coffee syrup and spilled on my hand 🥲 didnt burn just hurts

i love tiktoks that casually place you in another world. like this one girl was saying that you had to check a mans spellcasting history to check if hes cheating 😭

i wish i was an artist so i could sketch cool things when im out at cafes but i just dont put it at a priority compared to my other hobbies 💔

-since ive seen some claims of the reasoning behind this decision. i still believe any mention of isr*el is contentious and odd in the current climate even *if* this is somehow a condemnation of the "country". i hope this discussion pointed people to more revolutionary content :)

sorry, one last thing: if rfk genuinely meant this to be some critique on israel, i still dont retract my critiques of her writing within her other books or actions 🤔 i genuinely hope there is some reason for her writing this character in that was conveyed badly-

im late to this as well but happy aapi month to all my fellow asian americans ❤️

can someone tell me the appeal of "weird girl fiction"? ive read geek love, convenience store woman, and lapvona and was not a fan 😭 is it the absurdism...?

@vanillastree im lowk bouta go back tmr this place was too good

@weavingist YUMYUMYUMNN

happy national matcha day

i find it so interesting when ive read a study and then end up actually doing what that study was researching on accident (ex social media and morality) anyways everythings muted and im hoping to finish wild girls today!

@ABook32218 i appreciate using the internet through curated algorithms and am glad youre using the block button as it should be used. that being said, i think its bad faith to claim these takes arent nuanced if you yourself havent seen examples of what im speaking of.

@weavingist I likely have curated a slightly ‘safer’ algorithm tbf, I don’t normally engage in conversations with the ones ‘beyond’

ill fall for the bait. the fundamental problem here isn't judaism's existence. it's rfk's formation of an audience based on criticisms of colonialism then including an unnecessary reference to Israel during a time of the Israeli genocide on Palestinian people.

@bookishmirror ive advocated for palestine irl for a long time so this is very frustrating 😭

@weavingist it's okie it's really frustrating and I get it aaaaa

okay im done talking about this rfk thing. apologies for the spam ❤️

@ABook32218 "not one person today" ...? are you out of touch entirely with the news or just on a completely liberal side of the internet?

@weavingist The former of which, this entire book —seemingly, because none of us have read it —is speaking up about. Not one person today has condoned the violence, no one agrees with it. Yet a large majority speak of banishing an entire nation.

@ABook32218 the "country" of israel for years. ben-gurion supported ethnostate over saving all jewish people during holocaust, weitz called for genocide in 1940, etc. the foundation of israel has always been colonialism and control.

@ABook32218 -in this day and age. comparing people who are BEING colonized is not the same as the COLONIZERS. people may not be able to move out of israel and i find that unfortunate in itself. but its clear that zionism runs rampant within the country and jewish people have critiqued-
