Got a crush on a good friend, asked them out, they gave a "maybe" sort of answer which I generally take as a "no" but they talked a lot about comphet, how they're uncertain how much that is making their feelings unclear, and not knowing how normal it is to have little crushes on friends so I've kinda been waffling about whether to squash my feelings about them or wait a little.

I probably just should, shouldn't I?

Love to fantasize about a bunch of terrorists raping a pure innocent woman to death, I am a normal healthy human being with a normal healthy relationship to women, sex, and colonialism. /s

For some Ukrainians, such as those in the LGBTQ community it's literally a choice of risk dying as your country defends it's existence, or risk dying in a Russian prison

Fuck off you pinkwashing asshole.

You're being antisemitic actually. If you're not Jewish, don't argue, just shut up.

Yeah, trying to avoid being too public facing within a smallish org sucks, especially when you're really active.

I'm always careful to portray myself as an underling

 

I'm noticing a lot of people taking "you should read more about this, here are some book recommendations" as insulting their intelligence.

This is relevant because most USians lack a political education.

 

I've seen too much of this. No, the nazis and the Soviets were not equivalent.

Do. Better.

 

It is 2023 and DSA can't get its act together about apartheid being bad.
