paranoia is warranted when the country you live in is becoming increasingly hostile and dangerous to your existence. the kind of leftist organizing we need doesn't exist, you're right. but that doesn't matter. we can make it exist. leftist anger is growing and that is helping attract disillusioned democrats who are actually more left than their elected officials. we can form something new and real and legitimate. don't know how but.. it feels like it'll happen sooner rather than later. tensions have skyrocketed and voices are collecting.

publications love doing that shit lol. the whole concept of a carbon footprint was invented to make individual people feel personally responsible for climate change even though corporations pollute 100x more.

Severance is an incredible show. One of the best ever made tbh and it's only on its second season.

i'm interested in seeing how people who voted for him are going to rationalize their support when the tariffs are pushed to consumers to cover. goods and services are going to increase in price and instead of it being due to a series of complicated events that the president is of course involved in it'll be directly Trump's fault. explain that away, please.

 

a sampling of my favorite singles this month in no particular order. what were some of your most played songs of January? :D

she had a two or three week period of support and then she completely ruined it by promising to capitulate to the right and reaffirmed America's prepardness for war. i saw leftists of all types say they were willing to vote for her as a means to reject fascism if she listened to their concerns. there were tons of jokes about "letting liberals have this one" and the discomfort of having to align with liberals on something. it wasn't every leftist, of course, but.. i'll speak as myself i wasn't expecting Biden to drop out so him actually fucking off gave me the smallest twinkle of hope lol. then it was obliterated. she campaigned with Liz Cheney. Liz. Cheney. great job. very smart of you.

i appreciate you reading my post. thanks.

 

i hate to add to the posts of mentally unwell users venting their thoughts and detailing their experiences, but i have nowhere else to turn and nobody in my life to talk in depth with. therapists are impossible to secure and the last one told me i’d benefit from an existential specialist but there isn’t one anywhere near me.

every day i wake up i wish i hadn’t. passive suicidal ideation is at an all-time high for me it seems, but i’ve used that phrasing before and they can’t all be the ultimate. however, it feels that strong to me. it’s a powerfully soul crushing sensation. i don’t want to be alive anymore. i want to die. i simply can’t cause it myself, unfortunately.

the things others often say to suicidal people don’t feel significant or relevant enough to keep me here. “think of your loved ones,” “think of the pain you’ll cause,” “think of those who will miss you,” “think of your pets,” etc. well.. i’ll be dead. what the fuck do i care? they’ll all die eventually too and leave someone sad who loved them. death is inescapable and unavoidable and is always devastating to someone. asking me to live in misery because it’ll be too hard to mourn my loss sounds like a lot of not-my-problem.

i hope i get hit by a car every time i walk or drive on the road. sometimes i imagine myself swerving into a wall or crashing into a concrete barrier. occasionally, i’ll complete the fantasy with a swift jerk to the stirring wheel almost like a practice session.

i want this to be over. i would’ve never chosen life if the choice was offered and i’m in a 13 year long relationship with a guy i refer to as my other half. i wouldn’t be anything without him and i’d still choose to remain non-living in the void.

i don’t know what the purpose of this post is. it’s not like i’ve said what makes me depressed. honestly, it feels too personal to discuss and there’s no solution, so.. why bother.

anyway, if you’re feeling similarly you aren’t alone and i’m sorry you’re struggling.

i’m convinced the majority of Americans simply don’t care but feel compelled to answer considering cultural morals, so they choose to express some level of disapproval. not caring here is a symptom of political apathy which is itself a symptom of a exhaustion from living under an oppressive and failed ideology. they don’t care that he died, whatever. worse things to focus on. but they “know that’s wrong” and respond to these questions in the perceived expected way.

so in my mind, the people who don’t care and the people who sympathize with the shooter likely make up more than anyone who criticizes them. i haven’t met a single person who hasn’t had a terrible experience with health insurance. we have all suffered in the health care industry. brian thompson was a social murderer and a fucking parasite.

why the hell would anyone willingly live in Florida

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

yup! one of the things i was thinking of when i left my comment. Americans are not told of their options because an educated population is dangerous. those in power would rather keep us exhausted and fighting with each other.

the constitution doesn’t matter anymore. i mean, honestly, i think the document is irrelevant and should be disregarded in favor of genuine progress, but members of the oligarchy are ignoring these laws to supplement their own terrible version of reality. they are making their own precedents at the expense of the American people. Trump has shown the country that if someone is powerful enough they can do whatever the fuck they want with the influence they’ve accrued.

i’ve been waiting for this strain of bird flu to reach human-to-human transmission. once that happens we are truly fucked. we didn’t handle COVID and the pandemic is still ongoing. people complained about “shut downs” in the US and there was no such thing lol. name a single state that shut down. name a small town! nobody was prevented from traveling, there were merely recommendations and advisories. anyway, bird flu is gonna be bad. i’m very worried.

i don’t understand how it isn’t a massive problem to the public that people will often run campaigns on lies and abandon their supposed principles once in office. Fetterman is probably the biggest recent example of this bullshit except he is even worse because he is not shying away from people pointing out how he has “changed.” he hasn’t changed lol he merely lied. he should be followed everywhere he goes with a crowd of jeers and boos and tomatoes being flung at him.

 

update: i have been sent $10 and $30 from two users as of 01/04/25. thank you both so much!

hello everyone. on Oct 1st i lost my job. the job itself was toxic but it was also my only source of income. it took a while but i landed a new position that begins on Monday. however, i am incredibly behind on bills and my phone has been shut off. my car is scheduled to be repossessed as well. i have been doing DoorDash as a means to support myself but with my phone being disabled i have no way to work. i am unsure when my first paycheck will be and i am running out of food for myself and my pets, and i am out of gas for my car. things are very difficult currently. the only family i have is my mother and we don’t live in the same state. nobody is able to help me, so i am coming here to try and appeal to anyone who is able to provide support.

full disclosure: i created a request on here a couple days ago but it didn’t result in any assistance, so i am trying once more as a last resort. additionally, i need roughly $600 to pull me out of this hole. i would never ask for that from complete strangers, so please, even if you can only provide a few dollars anything will help. truly.

venmo and cash app - dgrwl

if you’d like to help but have a different payment app then send me a message. i’d be willing to download it.

thank you for reading. thank you to anyone who bumps or otherwise helps my thread. and thank you so much if you are able to give and do so.

 

we had an electronic toy bucket with a clown nose that shot its own balls out of its mouth and the game was you’d gather them up from around the room and shove them back in its stupid bucket head and it would suck its balls up and throw ‘em back out and you’d repeat that and pretend it was fun for more than five minutes.

what do you think made us millennials the way we are? tbh i think zoomers are cool. they’re doing alright. they’re like my younger sibling. we were raised by the same bullshit.

 

hello everyone :3

i go by kuiper and i've recently decided to limit my social media usage to decentralized and federated spaces as much as possible. i am very new to this and have a lot to learn. i've always thought privacy was important but never knew how to avoid being involved with nefarious companies. people gave up my rights to privacy when i was a kid in order to fight wars for profit so i didn't ever get the chance to protect myself. but here i am now! better late than never. i can do what i can at this point to restore my anonymity. if i divulge information that's my choice, not those outside of my control.

things about me.. i am a furry, yes. been in the fandom for eight years now. i love music so damn much. it's truly my passion hobby. i listened to 111 albums released in 2024 alone. i have 3,977 artists in my digital library and i'm always looking for more. feel free to recommend me stuff! huge fan of psychological horror too.

if you have any tips for a newcomer to the fediverse please share. i'd love to take advice from anyone.
