vanity, “I choose this because of my autistic fixations”: koine greek coptic biblical Hebrew

then Spanish and Mandarin for practical real life stuff.

with those kinds of freaks, they get a little scared of something like Scott happening, but then they take excessive measures to make themselves feel safe, and from that position tend to become way, way, way worse.

i am a trans woman, i do understand this and have to make decisions about what i have the energy and ability re: safety and mental health to get into with people all the time

i have, and i guess i should make this clear, also seen people just abdicate when they didn’t have to. I have the information necessary to say that - and i’ve seen it more than once, and it’s frustrating because this doesn’t get better if the average dumbass doesn’t understand

apologies, maybe you’ve seen this sentiment weaponized, but that’s not what this is.

i definitely feel that. i do my best to put the work in, but the idealism of my early transition is gone. i am way more skeptical it’ll be affected. but i feel obliged to educate who and when i can

it’s not on everyone to teach, but i wither a bit every time somebody is like “i dont have time to educate you” or otherwise abdicates the sponsibility, to favor whining and being shitty. like, somehow one is expected to take in a position on one’s own volition, when life seriously almost never works like that - which is to say, life isn’t just creating people who are curious and seeking understanding outside of the lane society violently etched into their brains, and if you can teach something better, you do your own ideals a disservice if you refuse to in favor of feeling angry without being productive about the problem

certain positions must be exhausting to explain. I’m not witholding empathy for that. But the work is the work. If you want society to look the way you want and expect, you better be willing to teach

this picture ruined my day.

i give what i can, which is not enough, to assist palestinians, but realizing that yeah, this is affecting the non-human population too, makes me hurt so much more

can this fucked up nightmare please end?

How inhuman do you have to be to consign an entire population to this level of suffering? Who can look at this and think it’s acceptable or justified?

I pray for mercy for palestine, and wrath for israel. Unbelievable. Death to the iof. death to israel.

how is Sheinbaum this goddamn cool

i enjoy the hunt and privilege or not, if i have the time and spoons i indulge in recovering people i have bonds with that tell me i already know there’s something worthwhile inside - but the fact is it’s mostly a slow anti-courtship of the dissolution of the friendship

but to absolve myself i gotta be able to say i tried. i don’t believe in defaulting to, or even using extremes without exhausting kinder roads.

I sent you a bit comrade. Wish I could spare more. Stay safe Bailey <3

sent to reeducation? hugged?

If I were him, I would accept that I was at odds with the power structure, but rather than compromise or conform, i would just put everything on social media. Anything that can be justified as being made available for the public good in terms of trying to get things done, make these slimeballs fuck him over extremely publicly. Destroy the facade of democracy further.

That’s all there really is to do, imo, but he could probably get it done.

i have been observing voluntary dietary restrictions already and am seriously tempted to make the leap to vegetarian, because what i’m learning right now about avoiding certain foods is that it’s hard, it’s annoying, but it’s doable, and I am capable of cooking my own food to some robust degree. It’s time.

Vegan is another step beyond, i might get there someday, but i’m interested in moving that way. The inertia of a lifetime of eating meat, my relative lack of means, and the stress of life makes big changes difficult right now, but I accept the moral arguments, I want to get there.

i feel like every time the dems lose we get to watch them in real time adapt their morality to be worse

these sorts of pipeline questions feeding people who, maybe had goodness in their hearts at one point, slowly being guided away from the light of God.

i just got home and updated the thread! thank you.

i invoke my dead name in the past tense to quote people talking to/at me, but otherwise i refer to past self as my chosen name.

using the new name is more respectful, helps you learn the name yourself, helps you associate that person with the new name, and using the deadname just means you’re more likely to use it in even less justifiable contexts.

I dont even hate my dead name! I made it my middle name! but absolutely still… use the new name.
