![]() And it’s human to crack jokes as a way of relieving some of your very real anxiety. ![]() It doesn’t take a huge feat of empathy, after all, to recognize that even though you may not be the person impacted by a crisis today, you could be impacted by it or a similar crisis later on. It’s a sign we’re still human.- AICN Podcast Day! February 24, 2022 We may be irony-poisoned on here, but you can’t stop gallows humor when it’s something this huge and bleak and we’re all individually powerless. I’m already seeing the scolding tweets about WWIII jokes. Take Ukraine’s official Twitter account, which has spent the previous months sharing darkly humorous memes about its political plight, even engaging in something like political shitposting - only to pivot following the invasion and use a very meme-like political cartoon of Hitler and Putin to remind us. This lack of distance also leads to deeply paradoxical reckonings with what it means to meme through a war. While it’s natural for many people to continue treating those hubs as their personal space to post whatever they want, they’re likely to get an increased amount of backlash from others on the platform for performing their social activity as though it’s business as usual. ![]() The days when you could self-isolate from the political conversations around you simply by retreating to your preferred social media haven are long gone. War is already occurring, and that leads the act of meme-making in a time of crisis to feel much, much different.įor starters, most major social media platforms have become increasingly political in recent years, as various political crises have engulfed communities from Instagram to TikTok to fandom Twitter. We’ve been here before.īut unlike previous instances when “WWIII” memes took over the internet, this round of social media discourse has been tinged with grim reality. The memes themselves were utterly predictable. And I won't be able to take care of a "standard" young child properly.Can’t believe we’re gonna tweet through this war- Zara Rahim February 24, 2022 You see, just like you, I'm afraid that if I decide to have children one day, they may be "standard". Even if I decide to have kids after all, I'd probably adopt an older child, as the average toddler or baby is fully capable of driving me to a suicide. I realise many people feel the need to share their lives with kids, but I'd rather stick to dogs, as they make better side kicks most of the time for a person like myself. It would be cruel toward both myself and the child to have him/her. A kid would only slow down a person with my kind of character and ambitions. I'm a short-tempered person, that wants to give something different, something great to the world. I'm tired of my grandma, saying "Oh, you must have kids." or "One day, you'll have to do the same for your kids.". I'm a lucky momma, but I completely understand people who don't want children, and that must be respected!įinally! You said it, everyone's opinion must be respected. I'm afraid a second may come as "standard" or worst, and I'll regret my decision hundreds of times." ![]() When people ask me why didn't I had a second child, I always say: "Look at my daughter. Since newborn she always slept at least 6hours straight, is rarely sick, eats everything we put on her front, likes fish and salad/vegetables, I can count with one hand her child tantrums and she made only 2 in public (now at 14y we have arguments often, but are usually negociated, some days she ends upset but accepts my demands, others I have to give up some minor rules and trust her jugdement), is a great student, well behaved, helps random people she sees in need, and receives appraisal from her teachers and people around. I love my daughter, she is, under a general view, a perfect child.
