  • I am experiencing improved short term memory to a degree that is surprising me. Small things like clearly remembering what I did yesterday, seeing a five digit code for a second and being able to reproduce it. Time perception has also changed, The last three years were more or less a constant haze. Now moments feel “fuller”, less distant and foggy, but also not like “lost time”.

    Nothing in my habits changed that much except maybe allowing for more “small luxuries” and not just eating bread, water and a vegan spread. I did significiantly improve my abilities in a language, that is the biggest difference, but only noticed it now, after the biggest period of learning has been over for some months

    So while I am happy, I am confused about why this happened.






  • You gotta be able to hit back the neolibs back, verbally, in a manner that exposes their shitty behaviour, if feasible. Become a pillar of the community, if possible. Maybe raise your concern when they say something crass, wait for an opportunity to bring up that it must be nice to afford that much cosplay, small nasty ways to show they are not the same as the rest of the community (if the community is overwhelmingly petit bourgs or LA or porky-happy, don’t bother too much.) I am at the same spot with a bunch of people and if you are in a place to put them down without losing access to vital ressources and have taken precautions, there are only so many ways we can fight back rn and wrestling control from shitty “community leaders” is the best we can hope for, often.

    I don’t mean to talk down to you, your irritation is valid, I just think it shouldn’t be the end point, otherwise it will just turn into stewing resentment. I am not excluding myself from needing to do that more often,





  • tagging @AOCapitulator@hexbear.net coz they asked as well

    verbose explanation of the joke

    the original painting is “Freedom of Speech” by norman rockwell, the head is this instance’s meme for a stereotypical bottom, i.e. shy, submissive and needy. Since the guy in the painting also adopts a shy pose and manner, it was easy for me to plant the bottom head onto him. Only now he talks about how he needs tops top-use-words instead of making some point about America’s freedom or shit like that








  • This is not meant as a rebuke or lecture, mostly thinking aloud.

    I am unsure about reclaiming terms from the shitheads. I suppose it is necessary.

    Arguments of positionality are a curse and there are counters to them, but they need to be expanded. For example, tokenism and showing how that person is harming their own group would be a start.

    Fakeclaiming requires a lot of looking at individual cases to be even semi viable. It is in my experience mostly harmful.

    Arguments should be dealt with in a principaled manner while recognizing identities in a way that stops presupposing that Identity X has a right to opinion Y, I think.

    This is not meant as a diss, I just kinda feel tired being suspicious all the time and wanted to give some thoughts(funny thing for a 1 month account to say, but I have been around for some time, I just occassionally delete my acc bc of OPsec, believe me 🥺)
