I realize this is an animal crossing meme but as an astrophysicist I was really excited for a second that someone was finally seeing the light on how fricking difficult and a huge waste of time it would be to try to terraform Mars
If an autistic person overexplains something to you they probably don’t think you’re dumb they just think THEY would appreciate those details if they were the ones being explained to
A lot of things that seem obviously implicit in speech AREN’T obvious to autistic people. So we inherently think it’s necessary to specify things that might seem transparent to neurotypical people because usually WE’RE the ones who need those explanations
I have not been online, but I cannot keep silent now.
I am not in Ukraine, I cannot speak on the behalf of the Ukranian people.
I live in Russia.
Today I woke up to find the news about the beginning of war: I was terrified, and then I read about what the citizens of Ukraine woke up to. Being in a region that does not border with Ukraine, I can only imagine the terror of those who are still there.
This is not a war of the countries, this is an invasion of a power-hungry government. The people of Russia don’t want the war. I am ashamed to be living under a “leader” who allows his greed destroy lives, and I am terrified, both for the Ukranian people and for us.
Today, there have been anti-war protests in the Russian cities, more than 1700 people were arrested. The ordinary people do not want this war, we are angry and we are scared.
Please, listen to the voices of the Ukranian citizens, of the Russian citizens, approach the news you find online critically, double-check the facts and do not spread false information.
