I can't believe I have to speak out on a political matter
I'm 100% apolitical 'cause all politicians lie. No matter the country or party, they spread propaganda to achieve their aims.
I wish instead of politicians, we could hear the voices of ordinary people
->
I hope we could hear more voices of people who are living right in the centre of the conflict.
We should listen to them and not the news who say what's beneficial to them and who amplify the words of those with power and money.
No matter what,ordinary people shouldn't suffer. People lives must be gov's main objective and not political games
I know ppl'd hate me for this but if you believe 100% only 1 side, you're probably being lied to.
I like black-and-white moral stories but politics is all dark-grey
I don't talk about any specific countries here because my point is that no matter who you support and who you think is right:
- any form of war is unacceptable
- for any government or any individual person, to kill people is unacceptable
Sometimes I wish people realized that and would just refuse to take weapons and participate in wars. They would talk things over, and find ways to resolve anything peacefully.
My thread may hurt sb 'cause I don't take sides(which is seen as a betrayal by many)
I'm doing this because I don't have specific knowledge to distinguish political lies. The info from every side's DRASTICALLY different. And I believe every side lies (but about different things)
And because I mean it when I say that we should listen to people who are/were living in the place of the conflict (Donbas region), please leave the comment section to them (or support them)
This is not a thread for political discussions or opinions (!)
It's a "no war" thread
I also suggest a #nowar hashtag (because I haven't found any other) if you want to speak out about the necessity of peace.

Have you heard about "aro-phobia"?
It's around us every day
Since it's #aroweek and literally nobody talks about it, I'll tell how deeply it's rooted in our society: everyday life/fandoms, how aro-people suffer from it and why any of you might unintentionally add to arophobia
->
First, what's "aromantic"?
Aromantic are ppl who don't fall in love. Gay/lesbian are attracted to the same sex, hetero to the opposite one. Aromantic are attracted to none
Asexual people are not interested and don't need intimate relationships
Ppl can be aro, ace or both
What's arophobia?
It's prejudice or discrimination against aromantic people. Here I'll mostly talk about arophobia but it's often similar to acephobia.
I'll start with the most awful examples and will come to everyday life. Please, skip the next tweet if you're sensitive
