Trying to reconcile my own beliefs and political stance with the feelings Venezuelan people in my life have been expressing to me has been difficult ngl. Like... What am I supposed to say? I just try to listen. I dunno.

I'm genuinely a much happier, healthier, and overall more satisfied person now that I live in a walkable city and can bike as both a hobby and a mode of transport. I wish more cities in the US were this dense. I wish this was more accessible to people.
Maybe someday. Things seem to be moving in a generally positive direction, even if slowly. I've recently realized just how effective local activism and showing up to community meetings is (spoiler: VERY.)

If anyone here manages to pull together or already knows about resources on testosterone microdosing (without intention to fully transition) in AFAB bodies, that's something I've been interested to read about but have found very few sources on.

My local food pantry takes pretty much anything a person could find useful (backpacks, clothes, shoes, etc). Try seeing if there's any local outreach/resource organizations in your area.

We should give the buses snow plows to push people like this out of the way.

If only there was some kind of alternate mode of personal transport that doesn't require government licensing and registration....
... Ride a bike, you say? What, like a fucking communist or something?

Trying to reconcile my nonbinary dyke charm with the embarassing gender envy I feel when I see an athletic man in techy sportswear enjoying a perceived sense of freedom.
I probably just need to buy a binder and work my issues out at the gym, honestly.

I would love to run my main machine off Linux, but none of the software I need in the day-to-day runs seamlessly on it, unfortunately. That's still a pretty big obstacle for me.

Every time I hear her name I'm haunted by that one British lesbian artist who made a horny Hillary Clinton fanzine and sold it online.

Had no idea this forum even existed lmao. Absolutely bizarre to scroll through it and every other post is like "The Cybertruck killed my family and sliced my ankles and also the employees spit in my eye when they delivered it," inevitably followed by comments along the lines of, "Aw man, I'm still waiting for mine. Lucky!"
Brain rot.

I'm going to give you additional context to make the implications even more insane: I come from a Muslim family and these friends are familiar with that fact.

That seems to be a good personal policy, I think I'll adopt it going forward. None of the conversations I've had with these people surrounding this topic have ever really led to anything productive, and I thought it was an issue with me not being well spoken enough, but I see now that that's just the typical experience in our political climate right now.
I've got multiple white queer friends who are staunchly "vote blue no matter who" and dissolve into a trembling breakdown whenever they're asked about it, talking about how if republicans win the world is going to end etc. Like, full on angry-crying wojak, talking about third-party voting being a waste, Project 2025, etc. Coincidentally, these friends hardly ever engage with activism. How do you choose to engage with these kinds of people? What's the general opinion on the vote in leftist circles, considering so many are refusing to vote for Biden (just checking the water temp since I've been largely offline save for activism and work lately)? I've been away from Hexbear for a minute, apologies if this has been discussed! ![walter](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/0dbbaae2-d552-44f0-b415-283c4944fbdc.png "emoji walter") Edit: Really appreciating all the replies! Really glad I can reliably come here for good discussions. Thanks everyone ![quokka-smile](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/7ea085da-6537-4226-a47e-ebd051bfceaf.png "emoji quokka-smile") Slash gen., in case it's needed.
See title. I hate that there's no little huts for selling newspapers, snacks, and smokes to people. Closest thing I have here in the US is bodegas, but they don't scratch the same itch. Cold days like this make me nostalgic. ![kitty-cri](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/82f8d044-cfac-47a0-934d-259e562013c4.png "emoji kitty-cri")
I keep seeing "fuck tankies" everywhere, and seem to see people getting called "tankie" for any number of things--I used to feel like I knew what it meant (the formal definition, which I thought was the only application) but that's clearly not the case anymore. Saw someone get called one because they... Liked the idea of universal basic income and wanted walkable cities? And now the same sentiment is on a large number of Lemmy communities, lol. I feel like I've been living under a rock. Edit: Wow, I guess it's just as meaningless of a term now as it seemed. At least it's a nice, bright flag for ghouls not worth engaging with meaningfully, lol. I saw "fuck tankies" on a genderqueer community and got pretty confused on how the two ideas correlated in the slightest, so I guess that was the tipping point on me finally asking about it.
