sorry, my implication wasn't that Ukrainian aid was causing or affecting poverty but merely that the money could've gone towards Americans here. billions are needed here so every dollar truly counts. also, "fighting to the last Ukrainian" is their people's right. they can resist by any means necessary.

i know it's common to hate on Zelensky and our ungodly amount of funding of Ukraine but the Ukranian people are being invaded, killed, and forced to assimilate by an authoritarian fascist dictator. they should have our financial support. honestly, they should have it from the world as a whole. but it has become clear that this is a pet issue for the US with ulterior motives and is done at the expense of suffering Americans. we spend billions to provide Ukraine protection against their aggressor, yet we won't spend a dime to protect Americans from domestic aggressors like predatory health insurance companies, real estate giants, and corporate oligarchs. we could be investing in universal healthcare, free housing, and ensuring of strong labor rights with jobs that pay above a minimum living. nahhh.. here, Ukraine, take all of our money instead!!!

i'm fucking tired of it. it is unethical to continue to fund Ukraine with all we've provided thus far when we are unwilling to take care of our own people as well. additionally, very few Americans are aware of the struggles of people living in countries with abhorrent conditions plagued by wars and sexual violence and poverty. it's only the countries that America has put a spotlight on. it just makes everything regarding our funding of Ukraine feel gross and shitty.

idk, i hate this. it's conflicting and depressing lol.

i’ve been waiting for this strain of bird flu to reach human-to-human transmission. once that happens we are truly fucked. we didn’t handle COVID and the pandemic is still ongoing. people complained about “shut downs” in the US and there was no such thing lol. name a single state that shut down. name a small town! nobody was prevented from traveling, there were merely recommendations and advisories. anyway, bird flu is gonna be bad. i’m very worried.

i have ADHD and i’m certain there’s a connection.

if anything i smarten up. text allows me to organize my thoughts and analyze my word choices. i can say much more and provide more detail over text. when i talk i feel stupid lol.

i worry our species is irreversibly doomed. honestly, i feel certain we are yet i refuse to act as though i believe it. if i give in and give up and sit back and wait for the worst to come then i won’t be able to say “i tried” to whichever younger generation asks the rest of us why we did nothing and let the human race go extinct. climate change will likely bring about the end but any number of things could happen before then, and capitalism will have spearheaded all of them.

aw dang yeah, RIP :( — i can’t remember where i heard of the movie but once i realized it was the same people who made Wet Hot American Summer i was in board. that movie is so funny as well.

the scene with Bubbie 🤣😭

i can't believe they put that line in lmao. it's just wild to hear now.

wow i forgot about those. i bet they were better.

i’m in the US and am becoming increasingly worried about privacy online (as if i needed more reasons). as a leftist, i believe it will become even more difficult to organize in the near future and want to protect myself as much as possible. i know nothing can truly assure me my information won’t be compromised but i’m going to try and do what i can to limit the possibility. also, dealing with reddit, twitter, and bluesky have convinced me to abandon popular social media. i don’t even like using YouTube.

i want to belong to a community of likeminded people who understand the seriousness of privacy and the reality of potential revolution in the US.

i can’t see if they suspect where she caught it from or not. anyone know?
