why do i fucking engage with these fucks.

People want universal healthcare. They want affordable food, clean air, education and housing. They want the freedom to pursue a better life for themselves. What do they get? Militarized cities. Threats to Medicaid. Detention camps. Gold card immigration programs. Tyranny.

The way this post is labeled is fucking hilarious considering just how biased their moderation team is, lmao.

I hate this world. I hate transphobes. Why?! Why is our happiness so bad?

This fucker does not understand consent.

Omfg. Dealing with transphobes discussing the forced self identification of trans women pisses me off.

I saw a young pit bull stick their head out the window of their owner's car. And y'all, can I just say, I love puppies. They're so precious.

I. Can't. Breathe. Normally. Stop asking me to lift your bag of chicken feed.

Feeling lightheaded after a short walk is the best feeling in the world. Especially when the oxygen comes back and now your head hurts. What did I do to deserve this?

What does it say that the Fall of Civilizations podcast by @fallofcivilizations.com has become my comfort podcast to listen to? Like it's so sad, but they're also so beautifully composed and tell the harrowing stories of people long gone. I love this podcast so much.

Needing an external oxygen supply to function is a horrible thing. It keeps me from doing anything that isn't within an allotted time slot. Hell, if I lay down, and I don't have my Cpap machine on (attached to my oxygen concentrator), I can barely breathe at all. I hate being disabled so much.

would you tell a palestinian refugee that "all states are fake" to their face? no, of course you wouldn't. fucking think about that. countries are more or less fake based on the consent of the governed. the fakest countries wield the most state violence and terror to justify their existence

some of yall have a conveniently simple understanding of the word "country" to not acknowledge the role geography, ethnicity, culture, and nations play in the definition of country is wild. "all countries are fake" is a completely misguided idea and is political nihilism that serves colonizers.

Shame sucks. Especially when it is shame over things there is no reason to feel shame for. Like being bi. Or being trans. I hate that I feel this. I hate that I go through this alone.

and proceeded to remind all the canadians present that the genocide in gaza already happened here to the indigenous people!

my girlfriend gave a speech at a rally today and opened with the absolute banger: "canada is a fake country" and the crowd absolutely loved it 🔥

Firing headsets tonight. Stirring some people's noses. Not wrong tho.

I need there to be better education on nuclear energy and why we need it.

Y'all I get being doomerist. Feels cathartic to dwell in despair a bit. But, um, some of y'all? Y'all need help. This ain't healthy for ya.

My dearest Alice: I write to you from a city under siege. The horrors have become inescapable. We are surrounded on all sides by an enemy who has left no corner of this place untouched by its poison. I speak, of course, of our old foe: gratuitous punctuation in business names

All this. Remember that you deserve to live. Always. We deserve to live and build a better tomorrow.

I hate dysphoria so much.

Interesting science news from China: english.cas.cn/newsroom/res...

Working on a story idea. I quite like this one. Been awhile since I worked on a regular idea instead of fanfic.

This, but also, every political science book and every single history book. And also learn all the mathematics.

How do we pay for this. Taxes of the wealthy and corporations. If they try and go overshoot, civil asset forfeiture. Either they stay or they lose everything. They made their money off our support, now they will invest in us or lose everything.

Cut defense spending and reallocate funds to paying down the debt, funding NASA and the EPA, and revamping the educational system at the national level. States have largely failed our students, it's time to give those students a second chance.

An Medicaid for All style program that abolished most private insurance and helps provide relief for the medical debt of so many Americans.

Shifting the distribution of the tax burden. A reminder that in the 1950s, the mythological time when America was "great" also saw more taxes for the wealthy. We used that generated wealth to produce an economic boom that lifted many middle class white folks. I want to see similar investments 1/

A realignment. Shifting state power to the local level to strip away power from state legislatures. Consistent investment in local power structures to increase stability and decrease reliance on state and federal answers.

Neighborhood councils made of representatives from every household. Town and city assemblies from representatives of each neighborhood. An debasing of police, instead favoring non lethal local watches and specialized forces as needed. A focus on communal spaces such as parks, gardens, and libraries.

Imagine a massive restructure of American society. From the ground level. Local governments built up on representation from the neighborhood level. Expansive civic investment on a local level. A massive decentralization of state power.

Legit question. How am I supposed to "hang in there", "endure", "hope things will get better" when I live with family that simultaneously believe that p*dos should be publicly executed and that trans people (specifically trans women are p*dos)? And I am supposed to just endure their bigotry? 1/

Hearing my sister talk about how much she loves Candace Owen's is a bit sickening.

Been listening to "Saturnine Saturnalia" on repeat, and I wonder what it would be like to listen to it high. Because the song itself is a beautiful trip. Now imagine adding weed or something else. Feels like I'd like it better (if I wasn't super focused on my pain at the time).

Reporters should straight up ask Trump about the "Trump 2028" merchandise. Force him to go on the record about whether he plans to run in three years. Force him to acknowledge his term limit. Stop treating him with child gloves.

I am stuck in a cycle I keep repeating. I feel miserable, stop taking meds, feel even worse until the point I need to consider hospitalization. Then I take them again.

Can the Democratic Party give us something to vote for? Yes, dismantle ICE, stop aiding and abetting a genocide, and roll back the damage. But also, tell me you're (as a party) committed to passing a Medicaid for All bill. Tell me you'll expand public rail lines to modernize. Promise to raise wages.

Think I am going to the thing where you take a picture every day of transition. Don't know if I'll make a video of it, but I think it'd be cool to just have an album of it.

Love it when I lay down and my head drags down and my neck pops.

So, I thought I would miss class. Instead, the professor canceled!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Also. Is the Discovery feed down for anyone else?

Eh, screw it. Today is a wash. I have As in my classes. I can afford to miss today to catch up on sleep. Feel like shit anyways.

How is it that only now I learn what feeds are? I have been missing out on a bunch of good stuff apparently.

Does posting into the void help? It feels like it does a bit. Even if nobody sees it, I got to say it. I had agency in sharing it. It was mine to give, and I chose to do so. A selfish view maybe, but isn't the act inherently so? We want the attention. Idk. These are 6 am posts of a sleepless night.

I wonder if we invented deities because we could conceive of vast and intricate thoughts. Surely if we could create completely altered realities in our mind's eye, then there was something out that dreamt us up? I dream of a better world. One where we bought into exploring space. It's a good dream.

It'd be nice if falling asleep was as simple as telling my brain to turn off and closing my eyes. But no, my brain has to keep racing building and destroying new stories and universes in moments.

A big part of my frustration with Christianity in general rotates around some of this, I think. The blatant hypocrisy, both at an institutional level, and the daily hypocrisy I am inundated with in my own home. It eats at me. But what am I supposed to do? Silently suffer until I can escape?

Opened up to my therapist about some stuff in the family I had never told her before...I didn't realize how much resentment was festering over this shit. Don't get me wrong, it was justified to be this upset (child abuse). I just didn't realize how much it bit at me.

I have been so hot. Even with the fan on and my blankets off. Makes me miserable.
