unless the basement represents masculinity, I think you should brave it and head down

good point. i AM trying to find one. perhaps that's worth taking a mental health day for...

needing a mental health day every once in a while: valid

needing mental health days frequently: still valid, but probably a sign to find a therapist

i'm not even doing THAT bad but i do feel like i woke up one day, and they removed the guardrails on the stairs that go up to my apartment on the seventh floor.

hey, the LD50 for flights of stairs is 5. and, hey, does this spiral go to the basement? did we always have that?

good thing the whole "harvesting organs from your political enemies while they are alive" can only happen in china. right. good thing that can't happen in america. not even guantanamo bay right

i am concerned for how bad things can get

on a similar note, if someone wants to vivisect and unfurl from my face my sinuses, i would welcome that (sniffles)

i made this post because i thought this was funny. then i realized how fucked up that is

but this is indeed so funny a thing to say

kamala harris lost because she never said what her policies are on circumcision

💜💜🫂 i know this feeling. im really happy to hear that

I'm the same way, and that also makes me feel kind of guilty. My friends are going to be targeted, but I won't be. But I have to stick around and help them fight.

yeah :(

I want to emphasize what I mean here:

If DIY HRT becomes associated with the same level of illegality as child sex abuse material, then you don't want to be buying that with your credit card. You want to be buying your HRT with the same money that people use to buy CSAM.

(I'm also increasingly worried about how credit card header data can be used, but that's a separate thing)

I don't mean to be edgy, but I won't even have it that bad! I'm white and still very cis-male passing and employed. "I can move to Canada" is actually a possibility for me.

I may or may not have already been doing a variety of crimes. Everyone's talking about how we'll have less energy to organize against support for Israel, but I think we'll also collectively have a lower risk tolerance for being arrested.

Look I don't think this is good advice, but it's all I have: Be gay do crimes

it could literally be a matter of life or death now, I don't blame op for feeling this way.

I'm so, so sorry

two of my trans friends killed themselves during the trump presidency and MAGA is successfully and increasingly associating trans identity with pedophilia. pick your favorite transphobic slur, your favorite far-right forum, and your favorite search engine, to see what the winners were and are saying about us

most americans believe in christianity and we're living like the world isn't burning. people actually believe in christianity! that's wildly delusional! not transitioning is, like, third or fourth on the list of ways i'm living inauthentically

i will feel meaningfully safer and more secure in a life under trump if i don't continue my transition

i'm not a transgender american but i think you might be overestimating how good transition might be under a democratic president. at the end of the day do you really want to live inauthentically for four or more years because of who's president

sorry. context was that i was transitioning. there were a lot of factors that had me on the fence, but this is a showstopper

I was part of the "I won't vote for genocide" vote, and it does sting that that principle did mean throwing all these minority groups under the bus, but it's even worse that the "I won't vote for genocide" didn't end up mattering at all

cryptocurrency is good now

What do you stand to gain from this?

🍭your friends love you and enjoy being around you🍭

🍭you are ethically obligated to assume your friends enjoy your company🍭

🫂you are a good person who is appreciated🫂

I have a friend who always feels the same way whenever I invite her to things. She usually ends up having a good time in the end
