This world doesn’t appreciate good voices enough.

But I’m sooooo tiered please

Humans can be so strange and lovely

If you want a very quick and extremely easy to read overview that covers the basic concepts, I highly recommend “it’s not you, it’s capitalism” by Malaika Jabali.

It discusses theory in a more modern way and is set up as beginner reading but gives a lot of jumping off points for further reading. It is very US-centric.

I know plenty of local groups that appreciate volunteer support that doesn’t require leaving your house. The hard part is finding them.

You could search on social media or community/city sites, reach out to organizations that you align with and see if they need any administrative support or anything you can do from home. A lot of people need help managing emails for their orgs for example, or proof reading documents. If you believe in any local politicians or fundraising causes, you can see if they’re doing phone banks, etc.

Once you find and start working with groups where you feel like you’re making a positive impact in the world, the optimism follows.

I have been trapped here for weeks and I don’t want out. I’m not sure what my world was before this show.

Hot take and this will tell you a lot about the media I intake.

Straight relationships are often portrayed as super toxic, because toxic is the “norm” (think “old ball and chain” jokes).

Queer media (at least the type I consume) tends to have more healthy representation of romantic relationships.

When I see straight couples on TV/movies/whatever being healthy and sweet, I genuinely do think “that’s pretty gay” but in the best way, you know?

Gay is compliment and nobody can change my mind.

Not sure thats the same though, I think they’re talking about the material, which is generally not warm (windproof) enough to have as outside pants.

The way I immediately knew what this was and then come into the comments to see it’s not common knowledge 🥲

(But seriously y’all if you have the equipment, do yourself a favour and get one of these)

Tik tok makes it nearly impossible to use their website on mobile browser. When friends send me memes on there I usually have to switch to desktop mode and even then it’s really difficult to navigate. Annoying enough that half the time I don’t even bother to look if I get a tiktok link.

Organize to educate and unite people on a class front. It’s not about left or right, it’s up or down.

Mamdani won support from Trump voters by listening and running on a class campaign. People just want to eat.

(I’m not implying that mamdani or other politicians are the solution here but just making a point that you can win people over by appealing to what we all actually want)

I think a workers revolution could do the trick. Get yourselves organized down there and get some heads rolling.

My vet (and I think most vets) can be amenable to payment plans if you ask them. Other than that, in Canada there are various pet payment assistance programs available but you have to be at or below poverty line for most of them. Maybe your country has something like that?

I’m sorry to hear. Good luck, sending good vibes for you and your kitty 💜

Obsessive parasocial relationships & maladaptive daydreaming. It’s great, you should try it.

That’s wild, I could’ve sworn he was dead already.

It’s been all over my social media and like, I don’t mind, but I think this is becoming unhealthy for me.

I got bored of it in like season 3, but I’ve also just heard not great things about the writing now so I have no interest in it regardless of ads.

My Space Daddy only makes me do things with my consent, so yes? 🥺

Wow this is hurtful

You’re not wrong though. I’ve definitely had pretty left leaning (not overtly socialist) friends see the word “comrade” and immediately assume communism. I don’t like the word personally but I’m learning to get used to it as I find more socialist circles irl. It’s hard to separate it from the memes.
