@AnOldGuy Nice! Trains are the way to go.

Why is it when I meet sighted people who I haven't seen in a long time they play games with me? I don't want to have to fucking guess who you are. If I don't remember, I don't remember. Stop toying with me! It's disrespectful and sighted people wouldn't treat another sighted person the same way so why me because I'm blind? It's some bullshit and I will not have it! Either tell me who you are in person or do not speak with me at all. Don't ever play games with me unless they're on my terms. Full stop.

I just blogged my argument for why we shouldn't use the slogan "from the river to the sea" https://micahflee.com/2023/11/why-we-shouldnt-use-the-slogan-from-the-river-to-sea/

@AnOldGuy Where ya going?!
@AnOldGuy Loaded question. Judaism is both a religion and a culture. You can convert to Judaism, but you are also born into it. The culture and the religion differ wildly.

You always thought that keeping all body parts under the covers was the only way to keep you safe at night. It's only when you bring a furry little monster into your house that you realize that you were right all along.

@theothersimo Because it’s one sided. Nobody is happy to see people dying in Gaza, with the possible exception of Hamas. But you can’t ignore the fact that Israel has always been under threat of violence by looking at a one-time incident.

The Department of Education is making it easier for students who experience Antisemitism, Islamophobia, or related discrimination to file a complaint under Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
To file a complaint, visit: http://ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/complaintintro.html
@theothersimo Do you hear how one-sided your comment is? As though there’s no reason for Israel to have the Iron Dome or bomb shelters in every home.
@BlueDot Thanks. Will look for that.

Here's some helpful Mastodon tips for the newcomers on here:
1. The app automatically scans your thumbprint. Make sure to wear gloves if you don't want this data to be collected and sold to thumb enthusiasts.
2. The platform has voice-activated capabilities. Try yelling "HUNGRY!" and the nearest Mastodon employee will bring you a snack.
3. Tell us about yourself! Write either "pro-ghost" or "anti-ghost" in your bio to avoid simple misunderstandings.
@theothersimo Based on my experience, yes, it is typical. As for the stupid laws the Right in Israel has created, they don’t even count Reform Jews as Jews, so they have fewer rights than the Orthodox. The Orthodox, who don’t even have to serve in the military!
I just love reading advice from people who have never served in the military, as to how easily the military could go into Gaza to save the civilians.
These must be the people who believe Tommy Tuberville actually supports the military.

Ukraine needs us NOW; otherwise, the US will eventually be at war with Russia. Wake the fuck up, #Republicans.

⚠️Yet another #recall
Tyson Foods is voluntarily recalling about 30,000 pounds of its dino-shaped chicken nuggets after some consumers reported finding small metal pieces in their patties.

Any way to filter out a language from your feed? I speak two words of German, and for some reason my feed is filled with German language posts.

Israeli minister suspended from govt meetings after suggesting dropping nuclear bomb on Gaza
https://www.thejournal.ie/israel-minister-suspended-nuclear-bomb-gaza-6215353-Nov2023/
Well, it is these ultranationalist right wing lunatics where Netanyahu has his election from... with a margin of only 2 or 3 %... And these are the ones that shaped his government during his rule that went on for too long...

Ukraine will get its territory back, all of it, including Crimea. Sevastopol too.
Russia is a rogue petrostate bent on expansion.
The alternative is an emboldened Putin bent on his next conquest.
Ask Austria what a policy of territorial relinquishment and appeasement bought.

Giving in to Putin buys the globe a WW3. This time nuclear.
