Why Are You Blinking So Much?

No citizens of any country are somehow inherently bad or evil because of their government. Full stop. That includes Russia citizens, Israeli citizens, Palestinian citizens, Chinese citizens, Iranian citizens, North Korean citizens, etc.

Everyone in this world is just living their lives, each with their own complex needs and desires and interests and emotions. They all have hobbies and friends and families and favorite foods. They all have their own motivations and varying political opinions and views on their governments. They all weigh the risks of standing out or speaking up and they all make their own decisions about that.

They all fear the same in times of danger. They all feel grief and pain and terror the same. They all love and hate and bleed the same.

They are people. They are no different from anyone else, they are not monsters or caricatures or nameless bodies in videos. Complexity and humanity are not exclusive to your country, to people like you.

Some Cool Facts I learned from Queer, There, and Everywhere: 27 People Who Changed the World by Sarah Prager:

Bisexuality and polyamory were the norm in Han Dynasty China, with many empowers having a female wife and an official male companion. It only ended because Emperor Ai of Han had wanted his male partner, Dong Xian, to succeed the throne.

Albert Cashier was a trans Irish immigrant who fought for the Union. His fellow soldiers from the Ninety-Fifth made sure he was buried as a man

Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok were lovers, their correspondances shared after their deaths.

can i also be beautiful if i am dangerous?

in all seriousness it's very alienating knowing theres Something Wrong With You. like seeing your mental illness come through in your behaviour and thought processes and knowing it's irrational and unhealthy, knowing other people are reading you as weird or stupid, and not being able to do anything about it is such a lonely experience

Nothing beats a nice train ride in the countryside
