Nah this is a good post

Omg I loved these things! We had a set in school I got to play with sometimes

About to static dry sift razor dust

Omg and actual bad post, well done comrade

CBD helped me a lot getting through that initial sucky period when I wasn’t used to functioning without weed. I got some CBD tincture and vapes which really seemed to help with the physical discomfort. Probably the anxiety too. Then after after a week or two I found I didn’t need it anymore and I felt great being off everything! It sounds like I wasn’t as heavy a user or for as long as you so idk if this will work as well or with the same timeline but it’s probably worth a shot.

Thank you for pointing this out, if you’d like to please post the original as I’ll be removing this.

Celebrating 9/11

Huh, that is weird but people are weird

To me Zohran is completely within expectations of a Democratic Socialist

Yeah this tbh. I think he’s playing the expected role and doing it well. The DSA is not gonna bring about socialism imo and it’s why I’m not a DSA member, but I have and will continue to work with DSA people when they’re willing to fight for important concessions to be won from the ruling class. He shows that a well meaning socialist is better than the alternatives in electoral politics, but also demonstrates the limitations of working within bourgeoisie democracy. He’s the union that I’m thankful for the existence of as a worker, but that needs to become more radical and militant or be replaced as soon as the conditions allow and demand it.

That actually sounds really nice in many ways. People are outside and closer to public rather than walled away behind their fences? That this is white people sounds kinda like the opposite of what I usually see in the city near me where it’s black and brown people spending their time out in their driveway or on their porch being social while crackers are off hiding away from the world somewhere.

If you want them to stop, print out some flyers about something you care about and go hand them out. I wouldn’t want them to stop but doing community outreach is a good thing anyway imo.

Holy shit they have energy drinks too??? I’ve gotta get a case or a few and share with friends.

what they don’t tell you is this is a good post

I did, I originally wanted to go for hub drive but my frame uses thru-axles and afaik the only compatible hub motor is the grin all axle which was above the budget I was trying to stick to. Plus I’m heavy so the gears will be useful for getting up hills. I tried going up a steep hill yesterday and in the lowest gear I couldn’t keep the front wheel on the ground! Also a friend of mine rides a hub motor bike and she pointed out that getting the rear wheel off to fix a flat is a lot more annoying. I do still like the mechanical simplicity of hub motors, my mid drive is already making a noise that concerns me, but I’ve heard noises aren’t uncommon with my model and it’s likely due to being under-lubed from the factory so I might be taking it apart to fix that soon. If it fails, maybe the grin is in my future, or I’ll give up torque sensing and get a bbshd since those seem pretty bullet proof

I just recently converted my bike to be an ebike, It’s so satisfying riding around on something I’ve worked on. I’m glad yours is working again!

This is the definitive post on chaserism. As for whether you need to be worried about them @9to5@hexbear.net, I hope not but you do need to be aware. Even in a decent sized city where I encounter a lot more people on the daily it’s not like I’m fighting off chasers constantly, but I do encounter them. I don’t worry about them much because I’m a T4T lesbian and It’s a lot more dangerous to go on a date with them than just getting propositioned on the street. Transphobes worry me in general, chaser or not, but so far none have done more than harass me verbally. Which leads me to something very important:

Take your safety seriously and re-learn how to be safe. Pre-transition I could go walk around the city at night to my heart’s content. I was only harassed twice, and the only time I was scared was when it was the cops. Now if I want to get my wandering in the dark main character time in, I take my bike so I’m not easy to approach or catch. And even that is probably risky but idgaf I need this to stay sane. I travel in groups otherwise and I carry a bright flashlight and a knife. Self defense class would probably be a good idea that I need to look into as well. Ideally find some transfem community irl and get their advise about safety in your area. Cis allies can also be good for giving safety advise as long as they’re women and good allies.

MOMENTS AWAY: TRUMP SPEAKS AT WH CORRESPONDENTS WITH CORPSES

I somehow misread that as libertarian and did a double take, like ain’t no way comrade sharkfucker has any desire to be a libertarian.

But yeah, it’s a wonderful calling but I have no idea what it’s like getting into that as a career. It seems pretty niche these days, but I wouldn’t abandon the thought unless you’ve looked into it and found that it wouldn’t fit. When I’ve gone to the library in my area, the librarians are mostly pretty old, and I imagine many will be retiring soon.

I also fantasize about what job I’d do if a successful revolution takes place. I feel like any job I find under capitalism will ultimately leave me alienated. But under socialism, there would be so much to do that is currently neglected. Re-energizing libraries, improving literacy, conducting historical research, and improving information accessibility would be priorities I’d imagine which would bode well for you. Personally, I think I would do well with electronics repair, recycling, and e-waste mitigation and processing.

Omg this video was my intro to her back when it came out. Comrade Squidward came out so well

Transmisogyny is the misogyny that the patriarchy no longer has the power to subject cis women to in many cases. It isn’t surprising that the resurgence of patriarchy would lead here.

I warned a former colleague who voted for Trump that the attacks on trans women wouldn’t stop at me, and that they would eventually come for her too. Idk if she believed me then, but hopefully she does now.
