With all going on in the world, and we need not name specifics, being able to spot silver lined moments like this is essential to a life that lends itself to stopping to smell the roses. I fear that is something that is easy to overlook in a chaotic world such as ours. Good on you for noticing and pointing it out, I can only hope to emulate.
It’s not gay if it’s underway. It’s only queer if it’s in the pier.

Learning to dress for yourself and no one else is a big, but liberating, step
I curate from all
I usually broswe by all, bumbling around aimlessly, like a honeybee in a field of flowers.
I need to find more calming communities on lemmy, too many alarm bells and saber rattling for my mental wellbeing.
It’s an unfortunate trait of the reddit migrations. That place was crawling with die-hard liberals, not entirely dissimilar to scabies. It stands to reason a few of the uninitiated would find their way here.
In spite of how I started this comment, we must remember that they are of the working class, and further division is a benefit exclusive to the capitalist.
I feel that the further we sink into full-blown fascism, the more of them will become aware, and may be counted among allies one day soon.
I plan to speak to those who are willing to listen and learn. But beware the contentious fool, ever seeking a debate but never trying for understanding.
I read years ago that white republican women will put up with being treated as lesser in their circles in order to treat others as lesser. So they’re fine with being spoken down to and shuffled aside so they can feel free to yell at minorities.
I know a guy who voted for trump exclusively to end DEI and wokeness in video games. He claimed his immersion was ruined by a character being trans. In a game with sorcery and dragons and monsters, he couldn’t handle a digital person not being happy with their assigned gender. As if there wouldn’t be people studying magic to change their gender, if magic were real.
I remember reading about a trend where unfunny and usually problematic comedians will dive into right wing politics, because they will always have a platform and an audience. Rob Schneider immediately comes to mind.
Can you imagine the blood in the streets if americans couldn’t get their chicken nuggets? No more coors light? I think it’s an american-centric line of thought to believe that other countries would revolt over losing their little treats like the US would.
Hey there, shy and introverted nerds with barely contained rage that this platform is known for! Have you tried speaking like a government official? The best way to learn how is to study videos of the third reich’s chief propagandist! My life has turned around from consuming hours of nazi propaganda! But I’m totally just trying to learn how to talk like him, I promise!
One step at a time. You think a bog witch just runs a hose into a low section of woods and becomes a swamp hag overnight? No, these things take patience and care.
