If you need to vent this is a good thread for that
Sorted by new and some dickhead posted violent disturbing images of murder and it made me suddenly sad
I'm sorry that happened comrade. I hope you can have a good rest of your night anyway <3
It's probably a good idea to not click on anything recently posted that's tagged NSFW for a while. The trolls and brigaders will get bored eventually, and fuck off to somewhere else.
they definitely don't tag nsfw.
though they like to use the names of the cumtown hosts so be wary of that
:red-fist: solidarity and love, good luck on your maintenance and reduced dependency!
I don't know if you have good rx around you but you can ask your pharmacy about that, that's what I use for HRT since I'm out of work and have no insurance. It's still not cheap - around $50 / month - but better than $80. BTW My name is also Rachel!
I'm just really nervous for my upcoming massive surgery happening sometime soon (don't know when bc of COVID-19). If it goes right I won't need to walk with a cane/walking stick anymore and will have the potential to live a longer life, but still stressed. If anyone is interested here's how it looks:

Also good night and lots of appreciation and love to everyoneGoddamn, good luck 💕
I've had my fair share of metal put into me (currently rocking 2 plates and 16-18 screws in my knee from a cycling accident last September), but nothing like that.
Shit's scary, but I'm sure you'll be good when it's over!
Yeah if it works it'll be pretty rad, can go back to living a "normal" life potentially and not be bedridden anymore.
Good night and enjoy it.
I haven't done it yet so no ye-ouch yet (except for the pain of the disease that's causing me to get the surgery of course). But it's really weird because I want to get the surgery but at the same time very nervous. Anyways good night and enjoy your night/day.
It's nice to have something like Chapo back, there really isn't a comparable community on Reddit where you can get some amount of news and lib dunking at the same time.
Nah but unironically I missed y'all a littleYeah once more people come in it will be a lot better but it's already amazing.
Assuming US, it's good to step outside and disconnect for even a few minutes and forget how shitty everything is.
Oh, absolutely. It's 100% good to vent. I just want to make sure people (not you specifically), are reminded that it's good to disconnect for a bit a recharge.
Falling apart emotionally from loneliness, but its pretty cool that this is a thingy now. It kinda cheers me up a little, for some reason.? not actually sure why
It's bitterly funny how alienated and lonely so many people seemed to feel before a global pandemic started forcing everyone to have second-thoughts about going out and being places. Could've argued that we didn't live in the loneliest time in human history before, but now? Man...
This pandemic is really annoying, I was wanting to try and make more friends this year, but this whole thing got in the way of it. If anything this pandemic only made me lose friends. not in the dying way, in other ways.
Ugh, this is too real. I was just beginning to succeed at making new friends when covid hit
jokes aside, this is a community and that’s something that we are all lacking and all desperately need.
I’ve found a lot of comfort working with the developers for this project and I think this community can create a ton of opportunities for leftists to collaborate in all kinds of ways.
and of course it can also just be a place to bond over hobbies or shitpost or whatever. but if you feel alone I promise we’re all looking for that kind of community and hopefully we’ll see you around
same for the loneliness part. the passing of brooks sucks for everyone but me not having him as background noise is probably gonna lead me down a dark path.
I miss the r/chapotraphouse vibe check threads.
I did the bad thing and did some work for my job last night, but managed to figure out an issue I was fighting with the last week and scratched the itch.
Mostly kinda meh overall. I'm very over being hot and sweaty all the time and that bums me out because it just serves to remind me that the planet is dying and this is life now.
Well they're back if I have anything to post about it <3
And yeah I know what you mean, I keep remembering that its summer when I go outside, being frustrated that it's so hot, and then frustrated that I'm missing everything because of quarantine
Ahh well, we'll make it through this comrade, together :)
Glad to hear it comrade <3
All things considered I'm doing great :)
Pretty great, had a really bad bout of anxiety and depression that made me lose about 30 hrs of sleep, but I got plenty of sleep last night and have been productive today!! ALSO THE FUCKIN LEMMY IS UP SO THAT IS RAD 🎉🎉🎉
trapped in my childhood home after graduating college, which i'm not really happy about, parents are controlling and don't want me to leave "until covid is done", obviously i disagree but also can't find a job rn after going to a Good School and Trying Hard and i feel like a failure. it's not the worst it could be, but i'm not happy
Been there. Wish I had advice, but even if I'd truly risen past that part of my life, we live during a uniquely insane period of history. Just have sympathy. Don't be too hard on yourself; the whole standard of "go to a good college, get a job, strike it out on your own, and create a life for yourself" shit hardly applies to anyone anymore, if it ever did. You're not a failure; make life work however you can and try to separate out other people's idealized visions of what a worthwhile life is supposed to be.
I'm in a similar situation, just graduated and I'm back home with no job prospects. I've gone back and forth feeling like a failure too. Just try and remember that we got dicked by circumstance, and that does not reflect your value
Fuck this is me exactly now except without the controlling parents. Everything just feels so stuck rn. Best of luck comrade
If you need to talk you can dm me comrade, I've had those meltdowns and they're never fun, but it's okay that they happen sometimes :)
Solidarity comrade. I'll never know what it's like to be in your shoes, but I have a brother who shares similar experiences. I am almost amused by your openness about it. It is really cool that you are comfortable talking about your experiences. I'm sure it helps other people who feel like they need to keep it in a box.
I have a migraine that has been going on for at least 5 hours now and I'm scared this is actually going to be my default state from now on.
it'll end. it always does. at least, after a good vomit and a nap, it ends for me
Yeah I expect so. But there's always that lingering feeling "what if this goes on forever?" that I get each time this happens. The longer it goes on the more it worries me. Happens with sickness too. What if I just.... Stay sick? Foreverrrrr.
fucking worried about covid but also feeling like im missing out on a lot in life right now. feeling like a pretty shitty leftist
Good leftists are those who live to fight another day, so if surviving is all you can do right now then that's what you've gotta do <3
thanks comrade, i'm still trying to figure out how to do praxis on these terms. covid has made me feel more alienated than ever, and i'm always pretty alienated.
