I wasn't going to but you know I can't deny the Streisand effect

 

my friend actually has bees so I can’t buy honey off of him. Thanks for the info!

 

Not currently vegan but even when I dabbled I ate honey

 

Gonna need to study this man immediately

 

the ableism of her initial comments got lost in the shuffle

@Jason Tate I know last week you said you were sending them an email so probably nothing else you can do about it, but wanted to let you know that Lowe's ad that takes up the entire browser is still coming up for me.

 

Will try again. Sigh. God I hate ads.

 

lol im a vegan that eats honey. wouldnt be very hard to give up but i make a point to eat it cause i hate bees. FUCK em!

 

I am sorry for posting this. But you
must now. I know some of EU/US people
believe it’s Putin’s war, but it’s not Putin who did this. My friend died. With arms tied. What for? WHAT FOR? He was a peaceful artist. Straight edge. Battling mental issues and… What for, just tell me ppl.

Ukrainian army just kicked russian forces off Kyiv and nearby towns/villages. Now this is
photo report from the freed places.

Why little kids? Why women? Why?!

This is Bucha, near 80 miles from Kyiv.

Please take this into account: russian soldiers are not human. This is beyond words.

Once again i’m sorry for graphic violence. But i just wanted to share my personal hell and pain .

 

that doesn’t seem very surprising or unusual tbh. Why would every day Ukrainians know/understand the weight of that word when it comes to black Americans? Feels like something that probably happens more often than we know about here.

but fuck the peace corps for their solution being “hey, form your own support groups and educate them yourselves.”….like, wtf?

 

…..

???????

PC: “you might hear the n-word or be called a monkey or see yourself mocked in black face as a matter matter of cultural course”

OP: wow this sure is weird

You: Why are you criticizing the Peace Corps?

(sharing a crazy thing that they had to say is not a criticism lol)

 

You seem to have missed the part where “this isn’t unusual” wasn’t the point.

(still, I did interpret that sentence as you putting words in others’ mouths sarcastically, not expressing yourself — my bad 100%)

 

Pakistan’s PM, virtually guaranteed to be subject to a vote of no confidence, legally dissolved parliament to avoid it.

I dont really think the point of wharfs post was to criticize the peace corp tbh…I could be wrong, but I took it more of a criticism of the Ukrainian people and their problems with racism (a spin off the “they have a Nazi problem” genre), rather than a criticism of the peace corps, who is 100% wrong in their response to it lol
