Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Tiring times in the world right now. I am extremely mad at how Palestina gets covered here and how we are watching a genocide unfold while accepting everything the IDF puts forwards as true. I honestly think I can't get back to normal after seeing the shit that has happened in the past weeks. How can I ever act normal to people who are casually accepting genocide as the right thing to do?

But personally I feel like doing okay. I tackled some problems I had a while ago and so far things seem to go right. I'm even starting to make some sort of plan for the next few years about where I want to end up. The options I have in mind are somewhere along the Atlantic Ocean in Europe, a certain European island or somewhere more remote in a forest. But we're talking about between now and ten years. My job and my health are doing okay as well.

Even politics seem positive because according to the polls our party is now standing at 14% of the votes and the campaign hasn't even started. We're doing so well that other parties are now talking about excluding is from results lol.

How about you?

I'm more tired and busy than I've ever been with party work + normal life, but it's all very worth it. I don't know what else to do after all. I've been trying to ensure I do take care of my other responsibilities as well though. It's just been straight march after march after march after forum after march, but who am I to complain when people over the world are fighting for their Liberation, and paying the ultimate price?

I've been able to get a close friend of mine into more party events, and so it's good to have people to discuss Socialism with IRL outside of organizing. I recently discovered someone I knew in Highschool is a zionist 🤮🤢, and was posting nonstop zionist garbage. The tragic thing is that they were the child of a South American immigrant, smh. I don't know what the line is between working with someone where they are VS being actively hostile to them.

I had an unfortunate experience with someone I was seeing casually for a bit, and that's been quite a learning experience. I luckily have a supportive support system I think, so we'll see how things pan out.

Glad to hear you're doing okay, and the party work you're up to sounds very exciting :). I'm debating if I want to start posting pictures of events and stuff that I go to on here, but I'm mulling it over...
