the constitution doesn’t matter anymore. i mean, honestly, i think the document is irrelevant and should be disregarded in favor of genuine progress, but members of the oligarchy are ignoring these laws to supplement their own terrible version of reality. they are making their own precedents at the expense of the American people. Trump has shown the country that if someone is powerful enough they can do whatever the fuck they want with the influence they’ve accrued.

i’ve been waiting for this strain of bird flu to reach human-to-human transmission. once that happens we are truly fucked. we didn’t handle COVID and the pandemic is still ongoing. people complained about “shut downs” in the US and there was no such thing lol. name a single state that shut down. name a small town! nobody was prevented from traveling, there were merely recommendations and advisories. anyway, bird flu is gonna be bad. i’m very worried.

thank you for commiserating. i am sorry you can relate. it seems a lot of us can. yes, budgeting is our next step actually. we are doing it together with my first paycheck.

edit: i already posted on mutualaid a few days ago lol i would feel scummy and abusive if i posted again so soon, but i appreciate the tip

i appreciate your encouragement to rest but i simply cannot. i am the one with money, i have a job now and need to play the game once again. nobody is allowing me to “rest,” it’s all about doing what is necessary to live and not be homeless or without medication. i can’t even handle that. my phone and my car are gone. who knows when i’ll be able to afford payments for either.

sounds very interesting. i loved ISTTG. excited for whatever else she does.

i have ADHD and i’m certain there’s a connection.

if anything i smarten up. text allows me to organize my thoughts and analyze my word choices. i can say much more and provide more detail over text. when i talk i feel stupid lol.

just make Israel the 51st state already

luckily i live on one of the Great Lakes, but… yeah it’s not going to get better. very worried. my bf and i are considering relocating to Illinois.

i worry our species is irreversibly doomed. honestly, i feel certain we are yet i refuse to act as though i believe it. if i give in and give up and sit back and wait for the worst to come then i won’t be able to say “i tried” to whichever younger generation asks the rest of us why we did nothing and let the human race go extinct. climate change will likely bring about the end but any number of things could happen before then, and capitalism will have spearheaded all of them.

i have accepted i will eventually be living in a climate crisis for a long time now. i saw that those in power had no intention of preventing further destruction of our planet and forced myself to swallow that pill so i don’t get caught unaware when one day we’re fighting each other over water. i truly hate being pessimistic but other than through a violent revolution dismantling capitalism what chance does the average person have at surviving the upcoming climate wars?

wow lol. this doesn’t surprise me at all. i had a gut feeling about Honey but couldn’t have guessed it was this insane.

ah yes… everyone really liked this album last year! i really should get around to it.

i would reject a communist group with that kind of mindset. we are in no position to be so focused on strict application of “what communism really is” at the expense of educating others against capitalism. we need to help deprogram and depropagandize the masses. especially in America, the proletariat are largely ignorant and kept that way. someone who is willing to apply leftist politics to their personal belief system should be seen as a potential ally. encourage those people to continue to think and expand their knowledge. class consciousness is not going to form if we means test the collective.

my mother. for the longest time i thought her personality traits were merely her sucking as a person. she was abused and beaten her whole life and the anger she felt made her rotten. as i grew older i started learning about autism and even became close friends with someone who, at the time, was diagnosed with Asperger’s. then some time in my 20s i learned that my cousin was being suspected of being on the spectrum by his doctors. i started putting the pieces together then. my mother doesn’t understand human interaction. i used to think she was just an impatient, easily bothered, mean, grumpy asshole. but now i see her responding largely out of confusion and not being able to process how disorienting that is. she has gotten better with therapy, thankfully, but at one point in her life she was too difficult to be around. two things she does that make me think she could be autistic is she takes everything literally. she is extremely bad at understanding sarcasm unless it is explicitly laid out lol. also, she just doesn’t find a lot of things funny. it’s not that she has no sense of humor she just doesn’t “get” comedy. she’s also very avoidant of people.

aw dang yeah, RIP :( — i can’t remember where i heard of the movie but once i realized it was the same people who made Wet Hot American Summer i was in board. that movie is so funny as well.

the scene with Bubbie 🤣😭

hey thanks for the recs. :D

i can’t believe they put that line in lmao. it’s just wild to hear now.

ah dang, missed it.
