someone on the bus talking about how a friend of hers has to break up with her boyfriend and from her description he sounds like a straight version of me haha crying behind sunglasses and mask emoji

disclaimer, re: pol, hot take 

of course, this is easier said than done, and i'm just some armchair philosopher in an echo chamber of isolated bubbles; so take my advice with a tablespoon of salt

vote the least shitty people you can into office, and threaten their livelihood the whole time to remind them who's boss and keep them on their toes

pol, hot take 

a lot of the internet is now arguing over whether people should change things with votes or with violence -- but that's as silly as arguing over whether we should take care of ourselves with food or with water

the two are not mutually exclusive! BOTH are necessary if we want to enact any form of change, because democracies* are built on a solid foundation of both of them!

sign language, learning process, adhd, fish violence??? 

as a person with severe adhd who copes with the forgetfulness aspect of it by writing down EVERYTHING,,, it feels so..., stressful, almost? to learn a language with no written form

i was watching some video of someone signing and i noticed some grammatical feature, but now trying to remember it feels like holding on to a struggling fish: slippery and actively trying to escape my grip

re: israel pol, pessimism 

but idk; maybe it's different for other countries

israel pol, pessimism 

if there's one thing that living in israel has taught me, it's that the most change that a protest can bring about is empty promises from politicians who have captive voters and no accountability

rms, free software hot take, possibly a joke 

say what you want about proprietary software companies -- at least none of them have rms

pretty people and my complicated feelings towards them 

sign language teacher sent me a video of a colleague of hers reading a children's story, and all i can think while i'm watching him sign is: oh no he's hot dot gif

ai, sentience, hot take? idk 

honestly it almost feels like you can take any justification for google's ai being sentient/non-sentient, and repurpose it for justifying that people are sentient/non-sentient

re: food craving 

you can get some kinds of it here, but it's all..... different, and fake-fancy, and overpriced

food craving 

i miss american breakfast food

sign language + 

had a video chat with a friend who's learning asl and we could still kinda understand each other despite the language barrier; we fingerspelled a lot, used each other's signs, and repeated ourselves and each other a lot

a bit tedious, but definitely useful
