“Human connection, care, and concern are wonderful feelings which sustain humanity. Ukraine deserves all the empathy we can provide, but empathy is not a zero-sum game, and the lessons of the present can and should change American interpretations of the past. For decades, some Europeans imagined that they had evolved beyond war, that their evolved humanity had arrived at an epoch where the garishness of armed conflict was simply impossible. As Afghans and Iraqis could have told anyone who cared to ask, there has been no giant leap in human evolution; war is still grisly, bombs still kill, and babies are born nevertheless in subway stations in Kyiv and tiny village hovels in Helmand.”

“Two-thirds of the Afghan population is under 25 years old. That means most Afghans either were not yet born or were too young to remember 9/11. Remember also that most of the hijackers were Saudi, and none were Afghan. The U.S. is collectively punishing—with starvation and theft—an entire group of people who were not even alive for a crime their country did not commit.”

It still doesn’t feel right to me to start posting pretty aesthetics and fandom stuff with everything that’s going on. Everyone can do as they please of course, but I won’t be posting any of my usual content for a while.
If I still post something, it will concern Ukraine and everything surrounding it.
This is from my main blog. I’m going to implement the same attitude here. Just a heads up. Once I feel like posting again, I’ll let you know.
