Instead of "you came back wrong", I came back wrong and no one will tell me why.

No one will even tell me I'm wrong, I just feel it in the way their voices are so cheerful and strained, how they look at me and smile too hard, until it looks like it hurts their faces, like they're smiling to keep from screaming.

I came back wrong and I know you gave up so much for me, things I'm terrified to even ask, things you'd cry to tell, but you won't, you'll never even tell me you failed.

Everything is exactly the way I remember it, everyone, even you, except now you've spent too long and awkward a time in a room with a stranger and can't think of a polite way to leave (or ask them to)

I wish you would just tell me the truth, or listen when I say I KNOW I came back wrong, instead of changing the subject or insisting it's fine, everything's fine, it's so much better with me here, your dreams come true. But that would be admitting it was for nothing.

So we both sit here. Until one of us cracks. If there's mercy, it'll be at the same time.

It's not you, it's me.

What concerned me in Xiran Jay Zhao's post and their notes is that they say there's "no worthy reason to hit the printing house". Because there is one, but westerners actively avoid discussing it: russia just wants to eradicate us and our culture.

russia has been burning all Ukrainian books on the occupied territories but everyone ignored it. And this attack (that happened almost a week ago, actually) was also part of this. Faktor Druk was one of the biggest printing houses in Europe and Ukraine will probably face a shortage of books, especially textbooks. It was also done close to the beginning of Book Arsenal (Книжковий арсенал), which is the biggest literature festival in Ukraine and was attended by Zelensky last year. This year the festival is focused on war literature, especially war diaries, and a lot of them were in print at Faktor Druk during the strike.

For russia Ukrainian civilian objects are a legitimate target because they want us gone. This is genocide.

But of course organizations like the UN don't see the genocidal intent if they just think it's all "accidental strikes" because of russian "old" (in fact, modernized by western electronics because sanctions don't fucking work) weapons.

Open your fucking eyes.

The fact that the homophobic term the Pope used is like, intercommunity Italian gay slang, adds a whole nother level.

Imagine if the Pope called someone a "passoid." Holy Father who taught you that word.

ok but we're all missing the important question here... WHO in the vatican has taught the spanish-speaking pope how to say faggotry in italian. how on earth did it come up. was it a prank. was it political sabotage. is there homosexual tomfoolery afoot in santa marta. I need to know more

the problem with “you don’t owe anyone else anything” is that what I think people first meant when they said it was “don’t apologize for existing, you do not owe others for tolerating you being alive especially if they are cruel to you” but what everyone online took it as “if someone in your life ever asks you for anything ever you should kill them”

One time I was working as a waiter at a burger joint where the fries were tossed in salt and coriander and as I was bringing food over to the table for these two huge beefy guys one of them asks what the green stuff is so I go "it's coriander" and his friend goes very seriously "he can't have coriander" and I'm thinking shit ok maybe he's allergic and guy 1 starts pulling up his sleeve to show me something and I'm thinking shit shit shit he's probably breaking out in hives rn and it's my fault but he just shows me his arm and he has this huge cursive font tattoo that just says "I fucking hate coriander"

I fuckin love waffles.

Disclaimer: This is not a comprehensive thesis about breakfast foods. Also, I'm not referring to plain waffles, but rather to a wide range of waffle phenotypes with different combinations of fixin's. I don't think waffles are the only thing one should eat. I don't think all waffles are perfect. I don't think all waffles are identical. I don't love waffles to the exclusion of all other foods. I don't think waffles have a history that is wholly untouched by some form of bigotry. I'm not trying to say that waffles are the only acceptable food to consume. I'm not casting aspersions about people who don't eat waffles. I don't mean to say that waffles are the most important issue of our time. I'm not aware of any particular form of waffle-elitism, but if there is such a thing, I'm not endorsing it. I'm also not endorsing any problematic trends relating to waffles. I'm not trying to denigrate people who either dislike and/or simply cannot afford waffles. I'm not referring to any specific waffle you may have seen or heard about recently.
