#absolutely what the FUCK#I shared a post about looking for volunteer teachers for Palestinian refugee kids on my Insta#just got a a text from my mom that she saw it and she's repeating bullshit I'm certain she saw on Fox News#I don't know how to talk to her about the hate and the misinformation I just ignore it but that's so. I don't know. I don't know what I can#Do because when we have had convertsions once or twice on topics about which I know she is majorly misinformed#the issue is a) I am not the most informed - I can't be an expert on everything and I could be more informed about what I do know about so#have a lot of doubt while she doesn't have any#and b) even when I have opened her mind a bit when the topic comes up again it's been slammed closed. It's fucking Sisyphean#but anyway that seemed like something worth sharing bc someone in my circles may be able to contribute#and anyway it's for teaching CHILDREN. REFUGEES. Shouldn't matter where they are from#I won't repeat what she said but she's fucking. Fully lumping in all palestinians together and considering them evil.#im not taking it down. But I don't know how to fucking talk to her about anything. I don't believe I can actually change her mind#but it does feel like a cowardly move to stay silent#I cannot believe her I absolutely cannot believe her#I guess not being home right now I'm not surrounded by the same political climate so I'm missing things
