@clisare.com ah Jaysus it’s herself! Fair play to ya :D

Facts don’t care about your feelings? FASCISTS DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR FACTS!

I hate how the nature of social media demands everyone’s instant reaction to big news, huge events demanding our hot take, our opinion, our response to what has just happened. Be it humour, solemnity, pointing out hypocrisy etc We divide ourselves on opinion, squabble, react, and round&round we go!

I feel like we’re going to be seeing some seriously passive reporting soon along the lines of “entire freedom flotilla drowned in freak simultaneous multi-drone incident” #freedomflotilla #freepalestine #palestine #israel
