Remember, EM POC only!
One year of Palestinian resistance... 
I want liberation for all of the marginalized who still remain chained up by their oppressors.
That aside, of course, I'm hoping for some happy EM POC vibes this week!
I'm trying this new approach to my issues called the "thug that shit out" approach. Let's see how it goes!
Today’s been a good day. I say this with the wholehearted knowledge that my life will be very different and yet all too familiar at the same time.
Finally had a proper conversation with my parents since I was alive.
No more hiding. No more “negative peace”.
I told them how I felt. How they treated me throughout my childhood and teenager years. The religious trauma. The corporal punishments.
My dad’s a tougher nut to crack but I think in the end he understood and respected my feelings. It feels like a whole chapter of my life just closed in an instant. Just from one talk.
I know that may be the optimist in me speaking but I think I can finally slowly move away from the past and look forward to the future.
I can finally be at peace knowing that my relationship with the family is finally moving to something I can be happy with.
13 year old me would have not imagined this day whatsoever.
My friend joked that this isn’t how “normal” Asian parents would have reacted. Well I wouldn’t know, my experience is that everyone’s parents are different. We won’t know until we try.
I guess I did live up to my childhood name after all - “the destroyer”. To ashes the trauma burns, and in the soot a new tree sprouts.
Funny that this had to take place on October 7. I guess I can say many good things have happened on this date.
Y'all seen these European Comic Slop crackers running defense for genociders lately? Just another week where lemm.ee proves it deserves nothing but nuclear fire ig
Show
So a couple unknown hexbears pissed them off going in on the settler project, so they ban these unknown bears and then make a super passive-aggressive 'ADMINISTRATION NOTE' post where they do the basic lemm.ee polemic against hexbear posters, positioning themselves as poor put-upon crackers by the anti-genocide poster horde while they do so. I pull up, and at the comment in this post that the mod of that shithole comm "supports Jewish people and Pales-people both" (don't laugh!), I'm out here like "yeah fuck y'all twice for both-sidesing a settler-colonial genocide btw, death to your society", they try and go in on me for being a 'genocide enthusiast' because it's 'against the right people' which I mean. If it's wrong to pray for the downfall of the West, both Amerikan and European alike, then I don't wanna be right-- but then they lock the post in order to have that last word.
Two days later, the post unlocks; and I come back to it like "what makes you think I will ever care about the life of a settler y'all are my opps" and that's about where all my posts got removed, I got banned, and they kept talking shit like the poor put-upon crackers they are. Last I knew, another brave poster went in there to spit on their western collaborator philosophies and caught themselves a ban for it too; so basically you're not welcome in their comm if you're not full-throated down for israeli war crimes
Two days later, the post unlocks; and I come back to it like
Damn, that's terrible. I just checked the Note post and, yeah, it's shitty. It's a shame, I love the aesthetics of their posts. There aren't too many art communities we can subscribe to so I hope we don't defederate but definitely shitty politics. Thanks for the explanation!
No wonder there is a loneliness epidermic. Yeah there are several reasons but one that sticks out is simply..... A lot of these mfs ain't shit. Who the hell wants to put up with that?
Hope you all have a good week. My partner got sick... really hope its not covid.
Went out to celebrate a co-worker's birthday last night and somehow I'm not suffering from a massive hangover.
