I don't know the OP but on this timeline, we're connected by the nagging misery our lives have been forced into. The "new normal". I'm not assuming any election, any swapping of bodies is going to magically make things alright. There's no going back. What does forward even look like? Who decides?

I just want to live comfortably. Eat when I'm hungry. Buy a treat now and then. Get a new computer when one craps out. Phone too. A phone that'll last more than 2 years. Pay bills on time. Pay more than the minimum on a credit card. I hate this timeline. Vitamins won't fix this level of tired.

Systemic Racism is not the words on the page; it's the watermark on the paper. The "Systemic" part of racism. "These two would never live under a constitution written by those two. If you know which two is which, that is systemic racism."

On 11th August here, in 🇹🇼Taiwan, we will be having 30mins war preparation. So during that, everything will stop - public transport stopped, no vehicles on the road, no internet. Why this world has to be full of assholes that initiate wars is a mystery I will take to my grave.

This is such an excellent analysis. It forces me to constantly think of how little society values women's lives. Factor in the hierarchy of women deemed "worthy" & it becomes a zero-sum game. It's so true that men fear women laughing at them and women fear men killing them. Let that marinate...

In a bank robbery tellers are taught to just comply and give the criminal what they want. In a mugging the police tell you just give up your wallet. In a car jacking they tell you just comply. When the crime is domestic abuse or SA suddenly it all “why did you comply? Why didn’t you fight?”
