I had to use right-handed pruning shears today and it was more difficult than normal. I had less grip strength and a more awkward angle. It made me think of a big blind spot in Hexbear's coverage of the current war in Gaza.

There are many left-handed Israelis, both soldiers and civilians. Because of the suddenness of this war, they might have to use right-handed tools like can openers and scissors. Life is harder for them right now and Hexbear never talks about the hardship they face under a right-normative social regime.

What is wrong with Hexbear?

    As a right-hander I never really found it more difficult or disadvantaged to write RTL. No matter which language I write in my handwriting is poor :P

      I think it's mostly about smudging what you've already written, which depends on writing tool and how sweaty your hands are
