    Diaspora politics are fascinating, lol. My mom literally sounds like a Maoist at times (I’m becoming increasingly convinced that she actually is one) but then will also say reactionary things. My dad on the other hand is just a lib, he literally stopped caring about COVID before it became socially acceptable to do so.

    Getting more financial independence from my parents (moving out is the ultimate goal but it is not going to be easy especially with the disability I have), get a diagnosis for my chronic fatigue, and do as much organizing as said fatigue allows. Also, make as much progress on my long-term comic projects as I can in between all of that plus school.

    yeahhh i'm really worried for just all the em_poc on the site at this point. it's not looking good, i've seen some incredibly reactionary and white chauvinist things get upvoted just over the last few days. i'm also struggling with what to do, i can't pretend i'm not worried.

    i've had some great times on this site and i would hate to leave. i hope we can work something out.

    vent post: family issues, ableism, anti-masking, anti-veganism

    Really hoping that I can move out in 2025 because my mom is increasingly pushing me to do things that are detrimental to my health. She thinks that my physical disability is mainly a mental issue (it's not) and that I can overcome it by exercising (I can't, my condition gets worse if I overexert myself) and that I need to stop being vegan to cure it (not going to happen). Also none of my family are COVID-cautious and my mom is forcing me to take off my mask around them just because she doesn't like seeing me wearing a mask.

    Moving out is going to be a struggle though. Last year I temporarily moved out (well, there's a bit more to it than that but yeah) but eventually had to return because I didn't have a good plan, I was jumping around and it was tough. And with my disability worsening significantly this past year it's going to be even harder. Maybe even impossible. But I have to try.

    So yeah, I'm going into the new year with a lot of stress. I don't know what's going to happen, really. All I know is living with my parents is not sustainable in the long term.

    Someone made a post to bring attention to fatphobia and a bunch of hexbears came out to start concern trolling on it. It got way out of hand and eventually I locked the thread. I'm still feeling quite upset and disappointed with a lot of people on that thread (not the op and not the people who were pushing back on the fatphobia) and I think this is an aspect of site culture that really needs to change.
