Then you have the opposite end of the spectrum, people who don’t want you to talk about the legal risks because they think you’re trying to discourage them.

Fight the power, but know what you’re doing. That’s how you minimize risk.

I know this is selfish and stupid but everyone is so wound up about the election that I didn’t really get a birthday this year. Half my family didn’t even text me.

A friend still wanted to do a birthday dinner so I texted my sibling asking if they were free, but they somehow missed that it was about my birthday plans and they were having a breakdown (not about the election) so we had to cancel birthday plans to keep them company. I shouldn’t complain because I love my sibling, but whenever I told my family about mental health stuff, they always just yelled at me and made it worse. I don’t understand why they suddenly believe in depression and think depressed people deserve support.

Also like I said, I know it’s selfish and stupid, but I just wanted a day to pretend things were normal before I start scraping money together for my passport and getting my tubes tied.

Yooooo thank you for including audiobooks!

Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Sometimes my parents let me stay up to watch it, but they stopped after some dumb gag scared me and I started crying.

Is this bot generated? It has all the right words for a “wise” quote but makes no sense. Is the wise man also rich? Why are we specifically contrasting “the wise man” with “the poor man”?

Remember when people tried to make it an offensive gesture that he was just sitting there

For people with physical jobs, try a little weight lifting. You don’t have to be the best or lift super heavy weights for it to be useful.

It’s one thing to have signs up at work reminding you to lift with your knees. It’s another thing to really learn, through constant practice, how to move your body safely, and activate muscles you never thought about. You won’t need signs to remind you, and you’re less likely to lift something stupidly and fuck up your joints even if you’re in a hurry, because correct technique will be burnt into your brain.

I know it’s not exactly obscure knowledge but a lot of people don’t bother unless they’ve got some kind of body goal. I’ve found it to be an educational experience even if I’m not a bodybuilder.

I’m so sorry. I wish the world was kinder.

I hope you’re able to find a solution. Sleep deprivation makes everything so much harder.

Same 💔

This is nice as I have a ton of games I haven’t opened since my family accidentally broke my Switch. Never bothered to repair or replace it since I keep worrying that as soon as I do, the next console will be announced.

Half my customers want me dead and the other half don’t because they don’t notice I’m queer 🙃 I enable them to buy video games that fund transphobic campaigns, toys that fund Israel, and drinks that fund death squads. I could quit my job and die, but the machine would keep turning, I’d just be its latest casualty.

I’ve had mostly terrible interactions with doctors, including them trying me on random SSRIs for nearly a decade before they ran out of options and agreed to try ADHD meds.

I did have one REALLY good interaction with a guy at a walk-in clinic though. Felt my knee while I bent it and told me imaging wasn’t necessary because he could feel the tear. Multiple years of false answers and physical therapy that went nowhere and then I got lucky enough to have a doctor who had the same kind of tear and knew what he was doing.

About to get a lot worse!

Been playing Sonic X Shadow Generations after falling off Sonic in 2006 and every time a song from SA2 plays, every part of my brain lights up

I change details a lot. Get the catharsis of pouring my soul while hopefully confounding whatever dipshit would think I’m a good target.

My name maybe has some letters in common with “Alice”.

I’m convinced it’s because we want to be loved, but most people will settle for someone just feeling positive about some superficial aspect of them.

Yup! We call it “the heads” in my area. I’ve also heard people joke about blindness from lead exposure from shitty DIY distilleries but I don’t know if that really happens nowadays.

Shen is constantly playing gay (and trans) chicken with himself. If he’s actually cishet he might be the second man in the world who had to come out as such.

Thank you ❤️
