"lazy" is a scam by big work to make even more work

@navi@catcatnya.com but there are degrees. this guy is essentially keeping that party alive financially. there's not much they can give him in return. he seems to be doing it out of pure conviction. it's a bit like when IKEA sold fascist literature a few decades ago because the founder, disillusioned after hitler lost the war and all that, turned to fascism instead

transphobia (mullvad supports fascism apparently)
7yo took a picture of me and then sent me this lolol
i uh... i just watched a guy in a visibility vest use a saw on a telescope pole on a large pine branch four meters up… while standing right under it. with the expected outcome. luckily it just grazed him
i've been annoyed with my legs refusing the HRT, thinking that it's another way my body's reacting in an unusual way. but after starting some "proper" running sessions plus resistance training, and having to redesign the leg exercises again and again because i'm way ahead of what i was made to expect, i've realised i just have very strong legs… which makes sense i guess with how much i've used them in the last 35 year
it's a really nice reframe once i saw it. like, now i know why skirts are so much trickier than pants

@ciara@anarres.family me too. but apparently that money ends up supporting racists fighting against my rights as a queer person. not a product i'm interested in, so to speak
i don't post much. but when i do, i still don't post much

transphobes seem to think women and men are different species altogether, and i think that explains a lot about them

i'm not lazy, i'm rational. laziness doesn't even exist (and i'm increasingly suspicious of rationality too ngl)
ghost in the margarine
it's just very odd how cis people have sort of invented their own language for talking about trans people, which they consider proper and respectful towards us, while we kind of don't really think that it is. sometimes i've even seen them police each other
this was a challenging and exhausting day. but i brought my best self and did really good :blobcathearts:

@ciara@anarres.family i think duckduckgo runs a vpn but i have no idea about their politics, except that afaik they made it possible to opt-out entirely from their AI stuff
before transitioning i could hardly regulate my temperature at all, and anything above 21°C would more or less incapacitate me
but now it's HRT day 1410 and i just took an hour long walk in a sunny 30°C and a light breeze, and i feel fine! i did not expect transitioning to not only reveal a nervous system disorder but also significantly fix it. sometimes i wonder if my body might actually be even more trans than i am 😙

@tael@yiff.life not sure i understand your point, but it does kind of read like a response to something else than what i was trying to say
with that said, a minor correction: it's 5 million SEK, not dollars. that's roughly half a million USD. from the article it sounds like the purpose is to help the party get into the national parliament in the elections in september. they're only represented in the city council of örebro so far. it's also a fairly new party. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96rebropartiet

@navi@catcatnya.comswedish elections soon. it's nice being outside of that whole thing for the first time in two decades. except for the posters on lawns everywhere and some flyers in my mailbox i haven't really noticed the campaigning at all. i usually ended up taking a few steps back right around the elections because i couldn't stand the intensity and exposure of it all, but actually being completely out of the loop is a very different experience
one funny thing i've noticed is how when i talk about my experiences with psychological abuse like gaslighting and DARVO etc, strangers will occasionally show up to talk at length about how i'm actually wrong in what i'm saying, implying that it's really just in my head, and what i'm saying is actually kind of offensive to them, and so on you know?
and that's funny because i guess it's another mind reading method! when i talk about being exposed to that kind of abuse, people who expose others to that kind of abuse apparently get annoyed, and at least sometimes they get so annoyed that they'll self-report… and then i will magically learn what's inside their heads
i love being a mind reader 😙

me always feeling vaguely panicked when entering apparel stores after all the times i've gone in and looked at nice clothes i'd like to wear only to realise they are all too small, so i think "ohhh i'm in the boy's section" and then i look up at the signs in the ceiling that say WOMEN
Replying to
comments to that post also suggest that taking testosterone will cause the lint to appear
and that makes sense, right? i bet it's the sebum
i sometimes end up in front of a tv with ad breaks (including youtube's own app) and it's such a jarring experience, i can't believe i was once acclimatised to watching stuff like that
Replying to
there were no signs there were actually huge signs all over the place
suddenly:
- self-isolating
- feeling very lonely
- drained of mental energy and struggling to get out of bed at all
- can (almost exclusively) remember only days when i've felt just like this
took me a while to spot it but, yes this must be some dissociative stuff going on

@faithisleaping@anarres.family thanks for writing this. reading other trans women's thoughts about this whole story has me increasingly bewildered. i'm realising that my experience, with being in denial until ~40 and so on, is so different from the experiences most women who also came out late seem to have had or are at least able to relate to. because i don't find it relatable at all, and i'm at a point with it now where i'm seriously questioning what it is that i must have misunderstood about myself that could explain why

@rafa@piaille.fr peter sunde being involved is a decently good sign. i haven't kept a super close eye on him but i'd be incredibly surprised if he leaned fascist, given his political history (left party -> green party -> pirate party)
@ciara@anarres.family
what's even neater about this is that since gravity and time are the same phenomenon (thanks einstein), time flows slower in high gravity areas! just a fraction of a millisecond per century, but still
i've been running out of supplements and haven't had enough money lately for refills, so i've been able to learn more about their effects
two weeks ago i ran out of NAC, one week ago the multivitamins with methylated b vitamins. and since yesterday i'm back to the way i was before autumn last year when i started taking them: struggling to get up and move around the house, needing at least an hour or two just to get out the door for a walk. i'm sleepy all the time even though i've increased my ritalin dosage
i'll be able to order refills next week, but gosh, this is profound
oof, feels like nothing ever happens, but what's actually happening is that nothing really changes, although things are constantly changing, but they are like changing in the same way all the time iykwim? anyway with how much it is changing ask the time it is exhausting trying to adapt to this perpetually unpredictable flood of chaotic sameness, wasn't noise supposed to be relaxing. did i accidentally get punk life noise instead of the pink one

@Sagaliciouzzz judging by the replies i've been getting, hair seems to be a factor although not the only one. so now i'm leaning towards it being both hair and sebum
"they're not far-right, they're nationalist socialist" is one of the most comically ignorant talking points i've ever encountered in political discourse
