  • So my mom asked if I was gay, I told her I’m only attracted to women. She kept trying to figure out what was up (she was nosy and I was trying to leave a coming out letter so I was acting sus af). Anyways eventually she said “well I know you aren’t trans” and I said “about that…” and came out. Lots of crying on both our parts later she was incredibly supportive, but I wasn’t worried as she had already been a vocal trans ally.

    My father on the other hand attempted to talk me out of it then hasn’t really spoken to me since. That includes years of living together. Which, points for stubbornness I suppose.





  • One big thing I’ll say here is that while many people will insist they have the one true way to be socialist, they don’t agree with each other. Because the fact is we’ve got a lot of ideas running around. We’re largely a goal oriented philosophy rather than a philosophy focused on a specific path to that goal






  • If you’re interested in getting into bicycling check if there’s a local co-op. A good one will sell you a cheap bike and even let you pay a decent chunk of it in labor of fixing bikes (and learning to fix yours). Not only is this two hobbies for the price of a few drinks, it’s also a good way to make friends, build skills, learn good trails, and feel connected to your local community. You also can get cheap used parts. The bikes won’t be high end expensive ones, and you may decide some parts are worth paying manufacturer prices for (several used trigger shifters led to me buying new), but when all is said and done they’re usually pretty decent bikes. And you can find weird shit you may not have known was a thing.



  • I don’t even want them to die. I want Elon Musk, Jeff bozos, and the lot of them to have to live normal lives with normal people consequences and normal people amounts of money. Maybe not Musk, but that’s because of his work towards advancing fascism. Even then I think that he’s not at the “deserves to die even if he changes his ways, admits fault, and works to rectify” stage.

    I’m not bloodthirsty. I don’t need revenge nearly as much as I need a free society of equals









  • Well because I didn’t want to say bombing them on the internet. Or burning buildings associated with ecological destruction. And i forgot about other things like spiking trees (the spikes break chainsaws in a way that osha is not happy about)

    Eco terrorists didn’t really care about you using proper pollution control when drilling for oil compared to the potential of forcing you to stop drilling for oil.
