I don't understand the genre of post where someone is like "why do you want to be autistic so bad, it sucks" because calling yourself autistic doesn't suddenly make you experience symptoms? so what are they saying?

i don’t want to earn a living, i just want to pet cats

One of my mothers hobbies is lecturing me about how my car is old and I'll "get stranded". Ive been arguing with her about this for years (her nerwer cars breaks down more often, I live in a city where i can get a lyft etc etc) but honestly she just is scared to be alone out without a man

"When you expose a problem you pose a problem. It might then be assumed that the problem would go away if you would just stop talking about or if you went away." - Sara Ahmed, Living A Feminist Life

Felt a good shift in my ability to exist on the internet, where I know I am actively being monitored by my abuser, without battling through abuser-vision.

I dont think will stancil is wrong about everything people think he is so i sometimes try to engage with his weird reply guys to understand the points and they're the most defensive parasocial weirdos on the planet. what the hell is going on over there?

Everytime i think I might be being a little too extra with how much i think misogyny is everywhere i realize im being way too chill actually

Misogyny is when you will defend a billionaire because a woman was slightly snippy to him.

I have really wanted to see data about the scale of this because just being in Portland its obviously occurring. I think all the time about how dangerous it is for so many trans people to be extremely housing insecure at once and keep hearing horrific abuse / cult stories

Good luck getting Multnomah county DA Vasquez to stand up to the feds.

I am pretty convinced at this point the anti tech backlash is way more dangerous that what corpos are using tech to do. I know this will make me few friends. If you only think about it in one space please look at the way people are talking about things like food, medicine, plastic surgery etc

Last final is today! If anyone wants to contribute to a celebratory lunch:

help i found a thread where people are talking about synthetic fabrics on twitter where i am on private but they are saying so many wrong things 😭 silk is not breathable! rayon is not made of plastic!

I was in the grocery store and this woman, to her boyfriend, was like “you’re my baby, you’re my daddy”and I was like yeah that sums up heterosexuality lmao

I just think women are so cool and nice and get you things too when they’re at the pick and pull

I know everyone probably complained about this weeks ago but not ONE kotek challenger got a statement into the voter guide???

I am highly concerned how much more unified and activated people seem to be by being anti tech than any kind of actual oppression

this is me behavior

my roommate told me i needed to chill out because i was concerned my cats body language meant she experienced me putting her in my room for a bit as a deep betrayal that had forever broken our bond

I don’t really have strong pictures in my mind but also don’t really have an internal monologue unless highly forced so it’s like what’s going on in there?

Sometimes I see glimpses of lives I thought I was going to have in other people’s and I’m so glad I didn’t

I would like it if people would stop thinking I want those goofy ass kitty face self defense tools

The Oregonian editorial board thinks "professionalism" means a bunch of electeds getting behind closed doors with corporate lobbyists and figuring out how to give public money to private interests. Those days are over.

Portlanders voted for REAL police accountability with over 80% support. Now Clark 1 would take $10 million away from the new oversight system before it’s even fully up and running. 😡 📧 Email Council 🗣️ Testify Monday ❌ Tell them: NO on Clark 1 🛑 Don’t raid police oversight $$$ to fund policing!

Agree though also I know not a tiny number of apolitical to Bernie to full far right

Tracks you call people the r-slur in private. It’s so sad you have to do complex social strategy to *appear* like a good person instead of just learning new things. It’s really not that hard ti give up basing self worth on being So Smart if you are just even a little charming & fun. Too bad for you

Sometimes I tell someone child marriage is legal in much of the US and they’re like no it isn’t & eventually they learn that it’s with parental consent and then they think it’s ok and like thats who marries off their children as currency to old men???

I should remind myself i had something really bad happen to me this week and it makes sense that I am spiraling more on things that seem unrelated because I simply feel really unsafe in general

I asked a friend for advice on how to get past the default fawning when i get catcalled because i legit would rather face the risk of violence than feel small these days and she suggested to start with the word "no" whenever a man speaks to me then go from there lol

just like how i dont hate men, i hate men. unfortunately we dont have a different word to describe these two distinct ideas, one a gender/sex and one a patriarchal political ideology centered around male supremacy so youll just have to use context clues to figure out which one im talking about

…forgot to eat, like a dink $TippyBerkman @/AntifaSheriff (Venmo)

Pregaming therapy by asking my friend to help me with an emotional problem I’m having for hours before therapy so now my therapy is about feeling guilty for needing my friends help hello

There was no political will in a “male tears” mug; if anything, the artifacts serve as a grim reminder of feminism’s defeat and impossibility, its reduction to kitsch.

i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

A neighbors of mine whose roof is straight up rotting has a cyber truck and I saw him in the parking lot the other day turning & it’s the creakiest car I have ever heard I almost feel bad for him

A lot of us did when there were platforms that enabled it in a reasonably accessible way. It’s why I know basics about how html and css function

To try to have relationships with other people outside the structure of patriarchy is always going to be a fight against the world around you. People underestimate this I think

What book has such a banger chapter that it needs to be read by all and thus i should make it a zine?

I know it’s just a joke and all, but for real, weight lifting and GlyNAC have wiped out most of my body pain I’m not saying it will work for everyone, but taking way better care of my body has paid off more than I ever expected I really miss those cassette adapters even if the quality sucked

Dude im so fucking emotionally exhausted

…heading to fuckaas English class cash.app/pay/link/gq7...

Call UW and tell them exactly what you think of them.

"If she has her own house, what will she need me for?" I don't know, dude, maybe be cool and fun to be around and be happy for her success instead being whiny little sad-ass troll about it? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I think i probably did have some degree of OCD before but psychological abuse that played on it really has left me for real mentally ill.

Better discourse in a dérive than youtube essayists sorry

I think it’s interesting how wealthy “cool girls” have hand tattoos now

the function of the state is to protect the oppressors from the oppressed

If you say “yankin' my Skeeters off” your misandry is showing THE END

Oh you mean Portlanders don't like lowering the flag for Charlie Kirk and trying to destroy preschool for all?

The core of white supremacist and antisemitic ideology is the belief that nonwhites and other marginalized groups would all be content with their station in the natural hierarchy, if it weren't for (((outside agitators))) with (((Soros money))) stirring them up to "cause trouble."
