cool quote, where's it from?

In the final analysis, no matter how radically anti-system the thinker appears to be, understanding society in terms of on the one hand rebels and on the other masses controlled by elites turns out to be a particular instance of a more general tendency: liberalism.

Edit: Ah i fucking knew it sounded familiar, it's red sails of course : https://redsails.org/masses-elites-and-rebels/

Awww that's great

Honestly impressive, I'm not even out at work, and when I do come out to a few coworkers I'm so apologetic I basically give them an excuse like "yea its OK to still say he, haha, I get it". I'm a fucking doormat for this stuff. I still feel terrified about it even tho I'm 1 year hrt and much more comfortable, so genuinely I'm amazed at your progress.

Girl you are way, way too hard on yourself and believe me I'm the most self-hating, self-judging and high-self-expectations person I know.

Yea i basically have stopped using any specific site/thing for discovery. I just kinda look around when I fancy, hear something somewhere and find it, check out the discography of that band, look into what people also like, etc. I don't rely on algorithms basically. Maybe the emails I get from bandcamp sometimes based on stuff i've already bought or groups/people I already follow.

The downside is that since I don't even listen to radio or follow specific influencers/recommendations, I feel like a weird hermit, I don't really know of an artist or their music unless i've randomly come across them, even extremely popular stuff everyone's heard about. But it's no big deal, I still find plenty of cool things.

This is basically aimed at preventing second hand smoking for children, so its public places where children tend to be.

Good honestly

Yep, that palestinian MEP is Rima Hassan from LFI! God I love her. Hope they all make it out okay.

I don't know you personally but what you're describing is very familiar, and its very likely that your brain is being an asshole and partially maintaining you in a state where everything seems impossible and endless and horrible. Its a lie, at least part of it is. You can do it, you'll look back and be happy you stayed strong, I swear to you !

One step at a time. Having more space for yourself. Finding other people to open up to, putting on a few clothes in your room, doing things secretely first so you can do them openly later. Its a fight, but you're a fighter. Don't let those who make you suffer win, take your time, and try to find others that can help!

I've been there, with those same thoughts. It sucks. The thing it was always there burning quietly, so you couldn't have kept going forever without knowing either, it was eating at you slowly. Now you just know about it. I know it feels like you fucked up or you wish it would stop, I do too tbh, but it gets better the more you slowly, surely, move towards your goals and live your life as yourself. It will take time, and the changes (not even talking about hrt here) will be gradual.

Hang in there, and if your situation is currently too dangerous or unstable its also okay to focus on things other than hrt. But hrt will also work very gradually, and not everyone gets the quick relief from dysphoria.

I know it seems impossible and overwhelming but remind yourself many have been there and are there with you, you'll be OK if you hang in there!

I feel this...

Man I hated star wars before and had to be convinced multiple times to watch this. One of the best tv shows i've ever watched, abolutely incredible. Star wars will never be this good again.

I will remember Nemik's manifesto. And I keep coming back to the Past/Present Suite.

I don't know how you arrive at this assessment on him but alright, that's fine by me. I don't agree at all with this analysis, it seems kinda fashioned out of nothing. It doesn't align with the few positions i've seen him take, at least recently. I never really watched before a couple months ago and most of that has been about the palestinian genocide, his anti-zionism and coverage of israeli crimes, so idk.

What? That's his name, i don't know what else to call him, mister piker? I barely watch a part of a stream once in a blue moon, sheesh.

Maybe this is being said in a joking way but i'm gonna be real I really don't appreciate this kind of comment, weird thing to say and a weird way to say it, not the vibes i'm used to on hexbear.
