I also hope those who've committed war crimes and acts of terrorism are swiftly brought to justice, regardless of which side they were on. Desperation does not justify October 7th. Defence does not justify Israel's response.

I recognise this is likely a vain hope.

I really hope this ceasefire holds. I don't trust Netanyahu as far as I could throw him. I worry agreeing to this is just a means of getting the hostages back, after which he'll just return to burning Gaza to the ground, secure in the knowledge the new POTUS will be like "Yeah, whatever, do what you like."

Christmas and sex have something in common:

In both cases, as your relationship with your spouse/partner/___ matures and deepens, you start telling each other exactly what you want. 😉

When _these_ are the people your society is raising up to the highest, most privileged levels, there's something radically wrong with your society. Radically, tragically wrong.

(And indeed, if I follow the link, there is more there.)

Shouldn't federation mean that the entire thread can be viewed through whatever instance you're on?

Hi. I'm Francis. I just joined and understand an #introduction is in order.

I am...

...a person who believes in fundamental human rights.
...a person who believes in diversity.
...a person who believes in socialism combined with regulated capitalism.
...a white person who believes in the rights of people of color.
...a male person who believes in women's rights.
...a male person who believes in non-binary rights.
...a straight person who believes in gay rights.
...a cis person who believes in trans rights.

I look like the enemy, but I am not them.

I am also...

...sometimes irritable.
...sometimes judgemental.
...striving to be kind in the face of...everything.
...confused.
...scared.

...in other words, imperfect. But I do try.
