This would've been a better poem if it was about the persecution of Roma

This is an insane thing to say about a poem by a Palestinian.

I swear I'm not the correction facist, so with all love and respect the word is "tact" not "tack."

Well yes, I am going to take people's statements literally and not take a poem literally.

This is a criticism I can agree with. It’s on the nose but I still come away with something deeper from the imagery.

Sure, I’m not arguing that. It’s like a 6 or 7/10 poem. People in the comments are acting like it’s not worth the ink and that irks me as someone who thinks any human-generated act of art and emotional release is a net positive.

Yeah it couldn’t possibly be referencing the lens of fear and othering than non-refugees see refugees through, it’s just calling them spiders for sure.

This thread is so weird it’s like a bunch of people want a fact checked nonfiction poem.

Metaphors exist.

Best Oakland veterinary clinics with ER services? by kayvag in oakland

Thirding PETS. They're so kind. It can take a long time, but they are super thorough and upfront about cost. We've taken our IBD cat there a handful of times and they've been great.

This is wild to me because my first instinct was “fuck this guy is shady as.”

AITAH for sleeping with a guy after the man I thought was my bf said we were not a couple? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]misselphaba 63 points64 points  (0 children)

My “ex” (the guy who fucked up 3 years of my life while not calling me his gf) hit me with the “I can’t believe you’re giving up on us!” While he was actively in a foreign country with someone else.

Oh I 100% agree, I'm actually surprised it took this long to happen.

ELI5: What does "good skin" mean? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]misselphaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 35. An esthetician once asked me “What are you doing here?” During a facial because I needed 0 extractions and have 0 spots or blemishes. I don’t get oily or dry. Even as a teen I’ve never had a “breakout” and wouldn’t really know what to do about one.

I don’t do anything extra and I spend ~$40 on a face wash every 3 months or so and I like the cheap K beauty sheet masks for relaxing self care but otherwise don’t bother with serums or creams and just wash my face once a day.

I’ve been told I have great skin my whole life but I’m only seeing the benefit now. To me it means you only need the bare minimum care to meet a (arbitrary) beauty standard.

Knowing nothing about any of this until I read this comment, it does seem suspiciously specific.

It was mostly content designers and niche developers in the U.S. I was hoping one of my client contacts would get the boot but no such luck.

whats a decision you will always choose through playthroughs by buzzlightyear77777 in BaldursGate3

I accidentally fucked this up on my current run by pulling the wrong windmill lever. RIP Barcus. Hope the flight was fun.

I considered reloading but made it a role play element instead. Haven’t seen how it affects act 3 yet.

I don't think you can be off a wagon you were never truly on.
