Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 18:21:31 I never realize how much cognitive load is taken up by smiling and making the right amount of eye contact until I land in Eastern Europe where my immaculate Resting Bitch Face is perfectly normal. |
Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 18:23:15 @evacide Welcome. Eastern Europe does that. If you smile, you're suspicious. |
Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 18:25:26 @Szescstopni I have lived in California for most of my life, but this is one way in which I am profoundly un-Californian. |
Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 18:29:28 @evacide I'm quite un-Polish – I smile when I feel like smiling. Not usual in the bogs of Eastern Poland. |
Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 18:31:12 @Szescstopni Yes, this is profoundly suspicious. I find Poland quite soothing, though eventually I start to crave a giant hippie salad full of fresh vegetables and zero mayonnaise. |
Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 18:37:01 @evacide That's Poland. Meat is obligatory. When I ask for tofu in a village store people assume I'm a pervert. |
Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 18:39:35 @Szescstopni @evacide not an exaggeration: I once had salad three times a day there because that’s the only vegan item they could think of. |

Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 18:25:21 I tend to like former Soviet colonies, too. They're not idiots like my people. |
Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 18:30:41 @evacide I hung out with Ukrainians and we had a great time Medien: 1 |
Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 18:31:59 @wendynather I nearly bought this t-shirt in Kyiv. |
Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 18:37:31 @wendynather @evacide Even the doggo has RBF. |
Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 18:31:56 @evacide Is that because you're neurodivergent (go team neurodivergent!), the extra demands on women, your unique nature? Masking is draining. |
Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 18:33:01 @dperson Yes. |
Föderation EN So 18.05.2025 18:53:22 @evacide tbh I tend to find myself more socially exhausted when I'm spending a lot of time in groups of Americans. My masking can't keep up |
