  • Yeah I’m a trans woman in a red state and I’m treated as though I’m violating a taboo when I advocate for my own rights or bring up the fact that I’m leaving a right wing area for my own safety.

    And I don’t think we’re coming back from this in our lifetime when it comes to international situation unless we wind up being rebuilt Germany style.


  • It may not be quite alcoholism, but it’s definitely a drinking problem. I’ve been there, had to pull myself back, take a break from the booze and reestablish a healthy relationship with it.

    Remember, if you’re still drinking when you aren’t having fun it’s time fo stop for some time. And if you can’t find that balance it’s better to put it away for good.

    But noticing and changing it early can be the difference between a long and drawn out battle with addiction and a significantly less difficult readjustment







  • Assuming you’re American, your parents basically won the birth jackpot. The united states implemented a mixed economy shortly before the rest of the industrialized world was destroyed in a massive war, while we rapidly increased industrial capacity to aid the war effort.

    Then right as that all slowed down shortly before you were born we began the process of neoliberalization. A process by which we received short term gains in exchange for giving up long term capacity and security. This kept the gravy train going for a while longer but it dropped the floor hard. And so we’re paying the price, as the rich refuse to accept any less. Additionally the main fast cash we can squeeze out at this point is through ecological devastation that will cost us multiple times what we get fairly quickly.
