With everyone in my family, it’s been letting them know they have love and support until they are ready to make the change for themselves. Now my uncle is finally doing better and is grateful we stuck by him during his hard times (even if it was tough love at times.) He’s lucky to have a friend as good as you!

This looks cute! I’m going to check it out.

Henry Cavill feels like a caricature of a nerd. Happy for him!

I do it in my apartment all the time! If I was in a setting with the right crowd and the right rules I would love to, but I haven’t found it yet.

Thanks! I don’t mind the presence of children characters, but I don’t feel comfortable with the sexualization of children, and prefer narratives with adult protagonists.

An important exception to this is like the movie ‘the Florida Project’ which beautifully used children’s perspective to tell the story.

Are there any popular anime where the characters aren’t children?

I think Russians constitute an exception that demonstrates how absurd the framework of race is. Actually, race is a means to simplify and create a mass ideology to support national oppression. I.e. someone is exploitable because they ‘look’ like a certain ‘race’. In actuality, ‘race’ is a paper put over a political-power relationship. This is not to say that race does not radically structure and effect people’s lives! Anti-blackness and racism are very real and very harmful institutions.

They myth of ‘race’ requires biologically distinct ‘races’ that have different innate worths. Ethnic russians create a paradox in this system because on the one hand they meet the white aesthetic ideal, but on the other hand, the Russian state’s interests are diametrically opposed to the Western States’ interests.

[CW: ethnic slur for Russians] This is why you see the absurd anti-Russian ‘orcs’ propaganda. Because Russians are aesthetically ‘white’ none of the established racist tropes can be applied because there is not enough supposed difference between Russians and ‘white’ Westerners. That’s why it falls so flat and feels so forced, in my opinion.

just history

This is like the last 2008 style meme produced

You need to figure out facilitation norms as an organization. Some kind of rule about relevancy, time limits, and an empowered facilitator. Frame interventions as a need to remain focused and to empower all voices. Don’t initially present it as a criticism, but as the behavior continues be more critical. Alienate bloviating white boys before the alienate everyone else. OR they might learn a shred of self awareness—I’ve seen it happen before.

What you said is like ‘ya makhnooT’ though?

Or Lebnan-sraum if you are using the Arabic pronunciation.

I think it’s Gretchen Whitmer.

So do you or don’t you practice Democratic Centralism? Is that or isn’t that the party strategy?
