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

the $40 sent my way has been used for gas for the two weeks until my first paycheck. i really am thankful for your help getting that secured. i am down to the very last of food for myself and cats. i plan on visiting the food pantry on Wed. if anyone can help it would be appreciated.

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.

i was rather obsessed with this band as a teenager. amanda palmer was such an influence on me she inspired me to teach myself piano. i wouldn’t be a musician if it weren’t for her. they keep teasing another album but it seems doubtful. i love their current two. the compilation is decent.

just make Israel the 51st state already

thanks for the bumps, everyone. very appreciated. :3

the art is really neat tho! my boyfriend was showing me cards before he got the game for Christmas and i thought they all looked really cool. as someone who isn’t the biggest board game player, tell your wife that this is the real deal: it’s so damn fun and absolutely worth trying out.

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.

I have only been here a couple days and I am enjoying myself quite a bit. I am finding this refreshing. I was on the verge of exhaustion with popular social media. I'm glad I found Hexbear.

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.
