protest tactics, mh
Your mind and mental health are your most important resource and your most valuable weapon in this fight. Take care of them. That's not a choice, any more than material support, training, or finding affinity groups is.
After our depth in numbers and our superior logistics of mutual aid, the Left's capacity for actual self-maintenance without worrying it makes us soft is perhaps our greatest competitive advantage, and we're going to need every advantage we can get.

Dental work, asking for donations
So uh, turns out I'm gonna have to be paying 1400 some odd bucks for a wisdom teeth removal. I don't like to ask for this sort of thing but anything at all would help soften the blow. XD https://ko-fi.com/C0C8BT3V
I am newly reminded that I'm sad that modern English has largely eliminated six of its nine major prepositional locative adverbs. Each had a prefix indicating the place and a suffix indicating the direction:
h-: "this place"
th-: "that place"
wh-: "what place?"
and
-ere: "in such a place"
-ence: "from such a place"
-ither: "to such a place"
The surviving forms, of course, are "here" ("in this place"), "there" ("in that place"), and "where" ("in what place?"). But we used to have
hence: "from this place"
hither: "to this place"
thence: "from that place"
thither: "to that place"
whence: "from what place?"
whither: "to what place?"
and I think our language is poorer for their elimination.
how not 2 guns safety, injury, laughing at the poor decisions of others
So idk if y'all saw but a while back, but there was a whole thing about guys pointed loaded guns at their junk w/ safety off and finger on the trigger, trying to own the libs and make fun of gun safety culture I guess?
Well, in a shocking twist, one of them appears to have shot himself in the nutsack.

Thoughts on the "Wait For Me" time-travel journalling game, also old relationship trauma (~+)
Prompt #1 yesterday was "10 words to yourself as a young kid". Ten words isn't much. But it's enough to warn your past self about the single most traumatic relationship they'll ever experience.
Ten words is also enough to tell your past self that they're trans.
It wasn't even a cold calculus, thinking "if I change my past enough early enough I'll probably never meet him", it was just the thought that the gender stuff was the more important thing to say to a younger me. "You don't have to be a boy, hormone therapy - estradiol" would have been enough to set my young mind on fire years early.
I might have still met my horrible ex, I might have not. But to think of something else as more important to me than preventing my past self from falling in love with That Monster.... I must be healing?
