wonder how much of this is due to prevalence of driving culture and awareness of the dangers of driving while intoxicated… ten years ago, i wouldn’t mind driving after i had a few drinks and waited a few hours. but nowadays, i don’t even want to hassle with at all
kinda more like all the fingers merged into one innit?
posts picture of hand with all the fingers merging into one big finger
this is a beautiful piece, thanks for posting
that’s so crazy they’re really double dipping in that the shooter hates queer ppl and then the media calls him queer to slander queer ppl
STOP, pick one ffs
i’ve never met someone else who Gets It like this guy does.
hard to provide any advice with the limited info you’ve given. are you detransitioning just based on that feeling? are there other factors? who have you come out to? how long have you been out to them? how accepting is your culture? how accepting are your family / friends?
but also, given you haven’t done much in your transition, and assuming you haven’t been out that long, you should be able to just pretty much go “actually i changed my mind / was experimenting” and that’s that
yeah i feel you. i don’t think this would be better even if i were vegan (i’m not bc i think i would starve due to a number of dietary restrictions /allergies, but i cycle in the vegan food i can)
lmaoooo believe it or not, some people around here ALREADY had that idea. which is INSANE when people are paying >$100 a month in HOA fees 😭 which i discovered by talking to someone i (mistakenly) believed was getting paid to pick up trash in the area
it’s shit like that that makes me want to organize people
this is interesting to me. i recently met, and subsequently turned down, a local communist party. after some interrogation, i realized that, much like organizing folks in my workplace, i wanted the work i did with them to directly benefit the people of my community. they were very much about recruitment (“waiting for the next event where capitalism radicalizes a bunch of people”) and learning theory (… which i respect to a certain extent), with a distinct emphasis on doing things other than community building / mutual aid / etc. they’re also mentioned as one of the not-great groups (RCA)
i guess i’d like to know which groups are doing that important community building / solidarity building / organization education outreach? there’s a mutual aid group in my area i’d like to become involved with at some point, at least
to a certain extent, i also want to know if my criteria for judging a group is good (or, if you agree, i suppose) - i’ve always thought that the worth of a group (here, meaning, a group meant to change things in the world for the better) is measured in the lives they’ve changed. but i can’t prove that, obviously, it’s just what i’ve arrived at based on my experience of the world, and i’m curious what others think
interesting to consider that third places can be virtual in this day and age. i wonder how they compare in terms of healthiness… probably better than not having a third place but worse than an in person one, if i had to guess
while i can appreciate that you’re at least respecting that medication choices are between a doctor and a patient, i would love for this myth that ADHD meds are meth to die.
it’s incredibly frustrating to see this sort of misinformation perpetuated. it is not difficult to search “differences between adderal and meth”, here’s one such link if you’d like: https://www.healthline.com/health/adhd/how-do-adderall-and-meth-methamphetamine-differ#differences
there is only technically ONE ADHD medication which is meth, which is… methamphetamine, and as i understand it, it is prescribed very rarely and is quite different from illegal meth
adderal, ritalin, and other less frequently used stimulants are not called meth because they are not meth
this misinformation is harmful because it perpetuates the idea that illegal drugs are the same shit that people are taking for treatment, often for necessary functioning or quality of life, and also perpetuates the judgement of those people for taking those important medications. these associations or judgements can make. people reluctant to get diagnosed or treated, which can prevent them from living their lives to the fullest
