  • why would they give a fuck, they’re getting fucked by the social contract, they get paid twice as much to inherit a burning planet and absolutely no prospects to have a home or even ever leave their childhood home, for the shit thankless work that customer service always has been

    all for the “privilege” of making billionaires richer and furthering the destruction of the planet they’re inheriting

    tbf, things were going downhill in 2008, but things are fully off the rails now, we at least had delusions of hope back then

    fell for it award edit: from limited experience, i’ve found it can be helpful to talk to young folks about the power of organizing and collective action. they’re perpetually burned out from having nothing they can do to improve their circumstances, but this is a powerful avenue that, if communicated properly, can motivate them to become more invested both in their own situations, and that of others


  • quick check on your basics. sleep, hydration, food, hygiene. make sure they’re square

    if you’re good on that front, get a good exercise session in (or work up to it, do a little bit of exercise over the next few days and build up your tolerance)

    do something nice for yourself, something that preferably has a sensory component. have a nice meal with good smells and textures, or a warm bubble bath, or wash your blankets and curl up in them, or throw some ASMR on, or… you know, whatever does it for ya

    go for a walk when the weather isn’t too hot

    good easy ways to pull yourself out of a slight dip. kinda been there myself, this the type of shit i been doing, too

    i’m not wild about the implicit comparison to a literal alien, but it’s also… fine. it feels a bit othering in the kind of way like, the owner wishes political dialogue wasn’t constantly about trans people (… which i agree with!) i think they’re probably not transphobic, but i would also hazard a guess they don’t really Get It, either


  • drawing is a wonderful skill that allows you to express ideas in a way that words simply cannot

    it really helped me a lot to express the sort of things i was going through when i was depressed. it helped because i could express the feelings without explaining the situation or having to put it in words

    do you have friends that would be supportive of your drawings? if you don’t, you could even post them online or here. but i think having a place to show your art and get feedback helps a lot (ofc, if you want to keep your art to yourself, that’s perfectly okay too)

    speaking of yaoi, is there any yaoi out there which doesn’t feature / almost exclusively depict non-consentual / unwanted sex? it’s, quite frankly, a horrible fucking turn off, and i feel like i’ve run into it every time i’ve read any yaoi (not boy’s love)




  • idk if i could say this is surprisingly easy or even really easy at all. this has actually been one of the most difficult things i’ve worked towards accomplishing during my life

    at least, this has been really difficult for me online; i think it’s much easier in person to not be a dick lol

    but if it’s hard for me online, maybe it’s hard for folks in-person, too

    i’d like to see more than “i don’t know if it holds water”, especially since you don’t couch it nearly as well in your previous post bringing it up

    a thesis is on the onus of who brings it up to substantiate it; if you can’t defend it, i would question the wisdom of bringing it up in an already contentious conversation

    yeah i’m interested (also i’m transmasc), i’m around pretty often on this account now, it’s the main one i use for browsing lemmy nowadays

    it would really be better for me if moderation stuff works on the boost client, idk if you know if it does or not (have never moderated before)
