...mother -- of -- god... I've been doing some work with #russiabynatives recently. It seems like people are interested in what Russia is and are willing to look past the pathetically-stupid stereotypes. A post on the perceived anti-US waves in Russia happened to discuss Crimea, the war in Ukraine, Russian car culture and drinking. Feel free to send requests for topics or ask questions. #gaymanonmanbuttsex
I feel like the international affairs department of this side runs a little thin.
The actual article associated with the tag is actually really great I've seen that! I think it's awesome. I am/always have a lot of Ex-Zionist-Progressive-American-Reform-Jew feelings about Israel and this has been kicked into high gear recently because I finally have time to take my Birthright trip and I fucking know it's going to be capital P Political AF.
That would make for some interesting trip reports. I had a bunch of Jewish friends in high school, of various political stripes, who I know were going to do Birthright after graduation. But as with everyone else from high school we lost contact pretty much immediately, so I heard very little about it.
Yeah I went on a high school trip for a semester. It was very much Birthright on steroids. The novel I wrote for TFG went into detail about the messages they gave us and my conflicting feelings on them. It's a lot. I'm trying to coordinate with a friend who went on the same trip a year later to do Birthright with me but I don't know where he falls politically Israel as of late so I'm a little nervous
Oh the wiki-edits is the article tagged #gaymanonmanbuttsex and talking about Israel is my roundabout way of relating to your #russiabynatives tag I meant that Birthright is a super political trip with one goal and one goal only: get young Jewish adults excited about all the good things about Israel and convince them to donate their time and/or money to supporting it without taking a nuanced look at its issues.
FUCK I LITERALLY WROTE UP 1500 CHARACTERS WORTH OF STUFF AND I GOT A DEAD LINK RESPONSE. FUCK. FUCKKKKKK.
