My first thought reading your comment is of the award winning director of No Other Land who got attacked and detained after having already received his Oscar… Then there’s photo journalist Fatma Hassona who was the subject of the documentary Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk who got killed in a bombing alongside her whole family.
We are unfortunately learning that becoming famous doesn’t necessarily protect people…
Sometimes being able to have discussions is a privilege. A lot of people just want to exist safely in a space without having to justify this or that. Blahaj seems to be such a space and there are other spaces for people to go if they do want debate and discussion
Honestly yeah, that was it for me. Seeing him get elected this time was really this feeling of “Oh, that’s just how it is over there huh?”.
The first time I could just believe your voting systems are messed up with the electoral college and all, and the massive push back that happened. Feelings were also optimistic coming off the Obama years.
But now that he’s spent the last several years fully mask off, investigated up and down revealing all the crazy things we’d been hearing about him and his cronies were true, and he still gets elected? By majority vote too?? There’s no excuses.
The US is actually just like that huh?
Well that’s scary… But I have also always heard you’re not supposed to bathe your dogs for a few days after application. Guess that’s one reason why but I imagine anything they rub themselves on might be a problem
I’ve had the same experience with the topical stuff. In-laws had never tried it, used it on one of their dogs, and ticks were just crawling off and dying within minutes. Was really gross but fascinating at the same time. Crazy that they thought for years all they could do was wash their dogs and pick ticks off.
In my family, Frontline was a regular purchase for our cats.
I was actually thinking of things like Frontline that you put on their skin. The way it was explained to me is it gets absorbed and essentially makes their blood poisonous to many parasites. I know there are oral versions of these medications too but I have no experience with them
This is how topical tick treatments for pets work, no?
I’m taking a sick day too. Except for the first time in nearly a decade, my current employer doesn’t require a doctor’s note for anything less than 3 days.
Honestly, most doctors just give you a note if you go in no matter what anyway, so I’ve always felt that it’s more about your workplace tracking you than trying to make sure you’re alright. The need for a doctor’s note doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. Sucky, relatable situation, you got my sympathy
I believe it, but I honestly don’t think it would make any difference in the world at this point if proven anyway
Orange skin with paleness around the eyes is the new giveaway
Not me, I’m on a whole other continent, watching the blaze, hoping it doesn’t spread too far.
I’ve been on the angry end of that mod. I can tell they’re passionate about the cause but yeah, feels like they’re quick to assume the worse of others in a disagreement.
As much as I support the Palestinian cause as a POC raised Muslim (and simply being a person with basic observation skills), I avoid interacting with that particular community because of them.
A lot of good stuff is shared there, so I don’t block them but man, not great with the community building…
No, you don’t get it! This way they can’t be bought! Trump is getting money out of politics!!!

Ah man, they make great E-ink android tablets… Was just thinking of upgrading my Nova 3 to the new Note 4C. That’s a shame.
Make some of the men in Congress and watch how fast deepfake control laws get passed
I forget which Behind the Bastards episode first put me on to this but man, there’s such a long history of people in the US killing or trying to kill good projects because it helps the “wrong” people
I feel it kinda highlights the healthcare and insurance issues, really puts it in our collective sights
Lunch place at work has vegan options so I’ve been trying that for a bit and man, some of the vegan stuff they do is way better than the regular stuff. Not always a hit but more hits than misses. Well seasoned tofu skin beats most meats they serve IMHO. I do live in Asia where they have more experience cooking the stuff to be fair.
John Stewart suggested Hogan would be secretary of ‘TAKE YOUR VITAMINS!’
I’m thinking something family related, cause everyone’s his brother
I feel like fewer and fewer people actually WANT to go to the US anyway…
