What am I doing?

Sorry to see you dog piled for an innocent question. We should see it as a good thing that someone who doesn't know found this space.

I don't really know to respond to this. You're projecting things onto me that I can not defend against without divulging too much about my personal life.

And I also don't mean to invalidate your experience. I do not doubt that you have gone through that countless times. Nothing I can say can convince you that I'm sincere. And why should it?

But that leaves me in a weird place. Should I have said nothing? Just criticize a government and make no statement on its average citizens? Assume the sentiment will be implicit? I'm not comfortable with such assumptions on the modern internet unfortunately. I'm not happy with the state of things either.

But I strive to form my own opinions and always see the individual. Whether you can recognize or trust that or not I feel I have to go on that path.

I appreciate your input. Even if, or especially because, it led me to think a lot.

Browsing reddit may feel gross, but just like the screenshots at !greentext@sh.itjust.works, we need people to sort through the waste and find the gems.

I won't go back but if you share direct links or rehost here that's a good thing for this side of fedi.

Hell if I know.

But artist-wise?

 

 

I feel like there is likely a better community for this post and I look forward to finding out about it

 

What shitty way to discourage people from interacting with those legitimately in need

 

Her forgotten magnum opus

 

Window into Iran

Many Iranians whom CBC News interviewed feared speaking publicly. Often, when they agreed to interviews, they often requested that their name or image be withheld because they feared facing reprisal. Iran’s brutal clerical regime frequently imprisons and kills those seen to be expressing dissent.

Hundreds are crossing the border every day, including those who are returning to the country from abroad, and had to make the journey in by vehicle as the airspace over Iran has been closed.

Many of those who are leaving have dual citizenship or family or business opportunities abroad.
[...]
An Iranian American, who only wanted to be identified as Bridget, said she was scheduled to fly out of Tehran just as the U.S. strikes began. She was already on the plane when the pilot announced the flight would be grounded and everyone needed to get off. It took her two days to reach and cross the border. Once she got there, she said she joined a small crowd of Iranians waiting to leave.

“People were actually asking me, you know, ‘The United States not gonna win, is it?’” she said.

“And I really thought they were joking…. I mean, we just have to see what the losses are here.”

 

Came across this and didn't know the appropriate community and so...

Edit: the man wanted to learn
