Plot twist: “kuma” means duck and “bear” means goose
With my 1-2 combo of ADHD making me extremely easily distractible and prone to lose track of time along with social anxiety making me second guess everything, it’s frankly a wonder that I’ve ever replied to anything!
Lemme just make the calculations to see whether you’re right about that…

It’s like bragging that your home state has more skilled athletes than 5 small towns from a neighboring state.
You’re out of your element, Donnie!
Far from it, Dude.
And the Eurasian Brown Bear aka Bear bear bear!
(Ursus is Greek for bear, Arctos is Latin for bear)
Bonus fun fact: the Arctic and the Antarctic roughly translate to “the place with bears” and “the place without bears”, respectively.
Another autocorrect mishap 🤷

I would argue that publicity itself doesn’t seem to be her career, whereas activism clearly is the main thing. The way I see it, publicity is a tool she uses to enhance her activism
That’s the argument I was trying to make too, sorry if I was unclear 🙂

Kind of a “yes and no” kind of thing: she became an activist back when she was just an unknown 15yo who believed in something, and the “viral moments” have all been the results of effective activism (with the exception of some hilarious trolling of some prominent far right idiots), which is part of what effective activism IS: getting as many people as possible to notice and talk about the issues.

ignorantmisinformed to choose its leaders.People not knowing enough IS bad for democracy, but the fact that they “know” so many objectively false and harmful things is MUCH worse.
