  • Well if you’re genuinely interested here’s an account I enjoy a lot: https://www.tiktok.com/@redwoodsrising

    I’m not sure of his exact title but he works for Redwoods Rising and talks about lots of redwood tree facts I didn’t know I needed. He also educates about the local native people and their impact/contributions on the forest. Most of his videos are like 2-5 minutes. May sound short but I honestly get exhausted watching full length documentaries that often go for some kind of dramatic approach. I just wanna learn about cool stuff, I’m not usually in it for anything else.

    Theresa also lots of people who work with/educate about different animals, actually funny comedy skits, and lots of niche shitposts for basically whatever you’re into.

    You gotta give it a little bit of time for the algorithm to curate to you but once it does it’s actually really high quality content imo. At the very least it’s nice seeing actual original content from people who have interesting passions/jobs versus people just linking articles/“TIL” style posts.















  • It’s not sympathy. It’s pointing out their own internalized self hatred as an explanation beyond them being some mustache twirling villain. It’s more pathetic imo for a homophobic politician to struggle with their sexuality vs learned values so hard that instead of coming to the conclusion that gay = ok they try to exterminate gays instead.

    If they were just awful people for no reason other than religion that’s just straight brain rot but if you are literally part of the group you’re trying to extinguish I feel like that has to be the most embarrassing thing for that individual. Like just get therapy at that point.

    I’d be surprised if anybody arguing in good faith would genuinely believe the above criticism is somehow a jab at gay people as a whole when it’s very obvious it’s just about the homophobe in general. The moral here is you can be gay and still want to stomp the rights of others in your same situation. I know friends whose black/immigrant parents voted for Trump. There’s psychos everywhere my guy.
