why the hell would anyone willingly live in Florida

yup! one of the things i was thinking of when i left my comment. Americans are not told of their options because an educated population is dangerous. those in power would rather keep us exhausted and fighting with each other.

the constitution doesn’t matter anymore. i mean, honestly, i think the document is irrelevant and should be disregarded in favor of genuine progress, but members of the oligarchy are ignoring these laws to supplement their own terrible version of reality. they are making their own precedents at the expense of the American people. Trump has shown the country that if someone is powerful enough they can do whatever the fuck they want with the influence they’ve accrued.

i’ve been waiting for this strain of bird flu to reach human-to-human transmission. once that happens we are truly fucked. we didn’t handle COVID and the pandemic is still ongoing. people complained about “shut downs” in the US and there was no such thing lol. name a single state that shut down. name a small town! nobody was prevented from traveling, there were merely recommendations and advisories. anyway, bird flu is gonna be bad. i’m very worried.

i don’t understand how it isn’t a massive problem to the public that people will often run campaigns on lies and abandon their supposed principles once in office. Fetterman is probably the biggest recent example of this bullshit except he is even worse because he is not shying away from people pointing out how he has “changed.” he hasn’t changed lol he merely lied. he should be followed everywhere he goes with a crowd of jeers and boos and tomatoes being flung at him.

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 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 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.

i can’t believe they put that line in lmao. it’s just wild to hear now.

wow i forgot about those. i bet they were better.

ah no dude don’t say that. it’s normal. i get it. you’re in a difficult spot, i’m sorry.

something that helps me is focusing on the reason why i have the crush: the person i have feelings for is a good person. i want them to be happy. if that isn’t with me, and i’m not going to disclose my feelings, then i try to remind myself i want what’s best for them even if it doesn’t involve being closer with me. it helps those feelings change.

someone’s never been told to not talk to cops.

another example of how sexual minorities are still targeted in the US and are at risk of assault and death. i hope the two men who were victimized are supported by their community and loved ones. it makes me so angry that there are people out there who think gays are “normalized” because same-sex marriage is legal. far from it lol. we are still thought of as immoral and disgusting by tens of millions.

i’m in the US and am becoming increasingly worried about privacy online (as if i needed more reasons). as a leftist, i believe it will become even more difficult to organize in the near future and want to protect myself as much as possible. i know nothing can truly assure me my information won’t be compromised but i’m going to try and do what i can to limit the possibility. also, dealing with reddit, twitter, and bluesky have convinced me to abandon popular social media. i don’t even like using YouTube.

i want to belong to a community of likeminded people who understand the seriousness of privacy and the reality of potential revolution in the US.

i can’t see if they suspect where she caught it from or not. anyone know?

some good news coming out of NC, finally.
