I'm not sure if that's a good thing. I'm not sure it needs to be a good thing.
The uncertainty of it all is anxiety inducing.
Meh.
I know a lot of this is the feeling of being in limbo, waiting for the next terrible thing to happen and wondering if that's the thing that will finally break me.
I'm tired of fighting, but I'm also not ready to stop. It's a rough place to exist.
And I know that talking about it on social media isn't the way to manage it. Sometimes, I just want to get it out so that I don't feel like I'm letting it fester in me.
Sometimes, just sharing it aloud eases the burden.
But that's not an answer. It's not a solution.
I got a lot of despair. Sometimes, it grips me so hard that I feel like I'm suffocating in it. Other times, I just detach from my feelings enough to convince others that I'm okay.
I'm not okay and haven't been for a while.
I won't, but you look great.

If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court.
I do not say this lightly.
And kindness is not weakness.
If you see fashy people attacking Black people, or immigrants, or trans folk, it's not kindness to say, "We should all get along!"๐คก
That's weakness.
It's kindness to put yourself between the people with less power than yourself, and the people that want to hurt them.
Periodic reminder: Hate takes effort to maintain.
If it weren't for constant effort by fashy people to lie about Black folk, Brown folk, women, immigrants, trans folk, etc, that most people would choose *not* to support fashy people.
Fascism requires an ongoing cost. Kindness is free!
And then there are the ones who seek to expand it, especially when they arenโt directly affected by it.

When Sean on Hot Ones asked him what pink cookies in a plastic bag meant and he just laughed for a full 10 seconds and said he didn't know cuz he was high...
I love him. He's a complete weirdo.

Hundreds of people detained at the Alligator Alcatraz immigration processing center west of Miami, Florida, appear to have vanished. They have disappeared from the ICE online database, and their lawyers and families have been unable to locate them.

Interestingly, I didn't mind the dude in Spy vs Family. I think it's cuz he was often wrong.

Dr Stone

Jimmy Kimmel has millions
The teachers who got fired ?
Donโt
The Black women who were put on websites for
THE FIRST HALF OF THIS ENTIRE YEAR
donโt
The immigrants scared to go outside because they are kidnapping them out of cars?
But yeah!!!! Now it matters?!?
It's weird being out of practice with sharing one's thoughts.
18.09.2025 19:51 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Everyone who corrected me about my word usage was correct. What I should have said was sexual attraction not sexualizing.
Sexualizing is a form of dehumanization.
I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.
