Gateway to Nowhere

«українці такі злі»

«чому вони постійно говорять тільки про себе»

«країни партнери втомилися від війни в Україні»

майстерно спотворюють сенси та тези, які українці намагаються донести, не тільки тролі у твіттері, а й міжнародні організації, котрі забули про свої обов'язки та перетворилися на рудиментарні залишки минулого, і тепер оон скиглить про хейт у свій бік, знову, знову і знову зсуваючи фокус уваги з основної проблеми, тобто військової агресії недокраїни рф, вторгнення на нашу територію, геноцид українського народу, але правда ж нікуди не дінеться. від неї більше не сховатися за розмитими пацифістськими фразами та підтримкою у вигляді щиро співчуваємо.

доки наші люди гинуть, наша екосистема руйнується, усі закрили рота і просто сдньомрускаваязіка.

українці: оон, роби свою роботу.

оон: подолайте ненависть, згадайте про толерантність, перевіряйте інформацію та припиніть свій хейт

"my darling, you will never be unloved by me you are too well tangled in my soul"

*actively searching for those who belong to the race that knows Joseph*

let it be so.

the autumnal urge to run away in the cold season somewhere in a small enchanted village where no one knows you, with forests and small streams and bridges and wooden huts and open fires surrounded by nature and old buildings, cobblestones and mysterious antique shops, cosy little cafés and an ancient library

oh, i’m thrilled by the opportunity to start my school year, feeling originally excited about studying itself. i want to learn this time. at last.

one thing that really strikes me about anti-intellectualism is that it's just so. self-limiting and sad. like it's a good thing to learn and i feel like we've forgotten it. all this information at our fingertips and people are refusing to use it for the simplest things like when they don't understand one specific word in a text. if something is a tough read it's a moral failing of the author and not an opportunity to build on your own personal knowledge and experiences. it doesn't matter if you think picasso is a renaissance artist because who cares about art history anyway and besides, picasso was a creep, even though it would take a minute to look this up. like obviously there are issues with accessibility in say, access to academia, but some things are genuinely not going to take significant amounts of effort to look up and remember for future. yes it's not a bad thing to not know something already, but a refusal to learn? come on. learning - expanding your knowledge, getting to know more about the world or humanity or art or science or anything - serves you, not some elitist academic in the sky or whatever. whether that's just reading the first paragraph of the wikipedia page for pragmatism or taking three months to read crime and punishment, there's a sense of achievement in the end. and yeah to some extent it's a skill, but it's not a difficult thing to foster and build upon, and sitting around proclaiming how you refuse to learn anything, even the most basic and simple fun facts, due to whatever the excuse of the month is is just so insular. it's a truly wonderful and interesting and diverse world out there and we're letting it all pass us by
