I'm not really sure why, maybe this concept is overloading my weakbaby social capabilities. But looking at a circular owl profile pic shitposting loudly, or a username venting about something in main, and making the connection that those words were said by an entire human being with a life of their own hundreds or thousands of miles away is just sort of short circuiting my brain. Obviously I have intellectually, logically known that you're all people, because you say things, but actually conceptualising it...

That is a huge amount of person by volume for such a little bear website.

It's tough to visualise, like even for a small hexagonal bear post, if every profile pic and username is an actual person, (THEY ARE) then there are more of them than could comfortably fit in my living room. That many entire real people, in one place, badposting. Being gay(and more), saying 'Death to Amerikkka', sharing heartfelt support for people and movements, yeah that's too many people, this is definitely short circuiting my brain.

May update when I figure out how to make my grey matter stop having a panic attack.

    I think there is something cool about the fact that we all come from such faraway places yet we are all united in wanting a better world. There is something very comforting in knowing that humans are human no matter where they're from.

    It really is wonderful isn’t it? Where else can leftists of all nations support one another? Reassure each other that “NO! you are not crazy for having empathy”.

    Also, I will never stop shitting loudly

    I legit stay a while longer to avoid noticing whoever the loud shitter next to me was in case they might feel self-conscious. Do I really want to be cursed with the knowledge that Steve from accounting had the bubble-gut today? /joking
