3 days agoYes of course.
US raises concerns.
Israel promises to investigate into the matter.
Then we never hear of it again as the newer atrocities are bigger than the last.
We’ve been in this loop for a year now. It’s not new.
It still feels wrong to me, to see it written out, but spoken its different.
I feel like it works to go with say, the 1600’s, which I read naturally as the 16 hundreds. But when I see 1900 I read that as the nineteen naughts, (aughts?) because so often when people are referring to periods in the 19 hundreds, its down to the decade because so much changed between each one. Or maybe I just felt that way because I’m so old now.
Maybe in another 25 years, it’ll be far enough away that 1900’s becomes 19 hundreds in my head.
