Not as much a book, but the documentary Dominion. If someone can watch that and not understand reasons for going vegan if not choosing to do so themselves, I seriously question their moral compass.

Newsome: Protect kids!

Trans kids exist.

Newsome: Except them. Fuck them.

Nailed it. Maybe a nation who’s entire system of checks and balances that it beat off to for years can be toppled to fast and utterly doesn’t deserve to be rebuilt.

The experiment is over folks. It’s been dead for a while. 2025 just opened some people’s eyes to it.

Sometimes I fantasize about the parents who raised and subsequently deserted me weren’t my biological parents. And somewhere out there, my real ones are looking for me and want me in their lives.

Ofc I’d probably let them down too

Yeah I learned the hard way that it’s easier to lie on those forms when you already are in therapy. I’ve had GPs try to play psychologist rather than treat the reason I came in. The last time it happened I accused the doctor of being a mechanic who just talked about the car and its history instead of changing the oil as what’s hired to do so. She was fired by me in that conversation.

I’ve also seen it that way and have been coached by my psychologist on it. Ultimately, for me, it was best to set an expiration date. The date on which I could finally do it with minimal guilt. This actually had several positive impacts in my life.

First I quit using suicide as a first or second resort when coping. Instead it has become more of a fleeting thought as I know I’m “not allowed” to do so yet (while obviously still lingering as seen by my initial comment). Second was giving me a finish line. A finite date where I knew the pain would end (chronic conditions are the worst). Third was a reminder that I only have X days left, so make the most of them. It turns death from this amorphous thing into a clear cut “this is it”. I KNOW when the ride ends down to the hour.

The caveat to this is the same as literally everything else in my life: I reserve the right to change my mind as new information is introduced. I’ve made a commitment to not do it until the date I’ve set, but as the date approaches, I’m not ruling out examining the evidence as presented and potentially pushing it out longer.

A LOT of peace of mind here.

I dig this! Thanks for sharing!

And then should you have a failed attempt, you go exponentially deeper into debt due to those new medical bills and inpatient mental healthcare.

Fuck the United States

I’ve talked with an AI about suicidal ideation. More than once. For me it was and is a way to help self-regulate. I’ve low-key wanted to kill myself since I was 8 years old. For me it’s just a part of life. For others it’s usually REALLY uncomfortable for them to talk about without wanting to tell me how wrong I am for thinking that way.

Yeah I don’t trust it, but at the same time, for me it’s better than sitting on those feelings between therapy sessions. To me, these comments read a lot like people who have never experienced ongoing clinical suicidal ideation.

Keep it up. With a can do attitude and a pocket full of dreams, you too can achieve this distinction one day 😅

For “threatening violence” which apparently was due to a comment I made where I said I wouldn’t piss on a Tesla fire if Musk’s mom was inside.

I keep this shot as a badge of honour

Not engaging with the carnists but you nailed it.

Someone doesn’t know how dairy farms work…

No. Not raping and abusing them for selfish human wants makes cows happier. This is the stupidest shit ever.

Same. I honestly truly miss the magic and wonder if it, figuratively and literally. It was big for me growing up. Was devastated to see what my fandom had supported 💔

You can think that, but it’s wholly inaccurate. Especially these days.

The more people that engage with an artist’s work in any way online, the more analytics teams see that. They then note a steady demand for content around said IP. In order to create more content, the creator/author must be compensated even if not directly involved. If that compensation goes to a living person who willfully and knowingly uses it to justify horrendous actions, then every single person in that line of consumption is culpable. Starting with the consumer. Us.

This is exactly why they keep creating more shit for this franchise. It’s because people keep engaging and supporting it and demanding more. So then the author (who is btw on record as saying that her continued success is proof that people support her opinions), keeps getting richer and richer and goes on to have bigger platforms and unchecked actions.

As a trans person, if I knew any action taken by myself or a family member contributed even a small fraction of a percent of a single cent to that thunder cunt, I’d be nauseated.

Bottom line, real people > fake wizards.

But that’s me. You do you.
