Lemmy after reddit banned me. I’ve been getting into Bluesky, too. Sometimes Mastodon. I’m open to other suggestions, too.

I like The Majority Report, The Serf Times, Egberto Willies is good, Status Coup.

Here’s some fave websites I like:

The Intercept,

Jacobin,

World Socialist Website,

Socialist Alternative,

Its Going Down,

Common Dreams,

Lib Com,

Democracy Now,

Vox ,

Huff Post,

Counterpunch,

In These Times,

Dissent Magazine,

Labor Notes,

and the newest one I like is The Lever.

Allow the noise to be a part of your meditation. When I meditate, I can hear my parents watching tv in the next room, and I accept that into my practice.

Yes, I do. As well as Tai chi and yoga.

Alcohol has been linked to early onset Alzheimer’s and drunk driving is a major cause of death.

Alcohol. It’s more dangerous than it seems.

I’m not?

Like the general “we”?

He’s made a “joke” about motherhood not being a hard job. I’ve known single mothers and it’s a pretty damn hard job.

Thanks for triggering me.

Left wingers/Lemmyites.

Definitely not as many rude people on here.

N-no? You’re supposed to take the kindness and compassion you show yourself and apply it to others :/

I’ve tried to use Gemini browsers, but they are too complicated for my human brain. I can’t remember which browser it was, but it was used mostly for Gemini space.

I’m proud of you in your journey to cut back on drinking. You got this. Keep fighting. It’s a struggle, but it is worth it.

I classify anything that helps your mood as self care lol. Drinking tea would be self care. Flossing helps your teeth stay healthy so I figured it counts.

I think you’re right that the anger is misguided. I also think it stems from trauma, but that’s just me. It’s like the old saying “hurt people hurt people” and right-wingers are a bunch of repressed, hurt people.

Honestly, I’ve been trying hard to practice self-care, so I believe in loving and being kind to yourself. Im also very left leaning, close to socialist/anarchist ideals/beliefs.

I used to hang out on toefur, a straight edge forum (I was straight edge for the majority of my life, not anymore though) It wasn’t a bad site to be on, but it had its moments. I learned the phrase fuckdammit there.

Maybe it’s just my way of thinking, but if someone says “you can’t do that” I usually stop doing that and shut down, because it’s not allowed. I have autism, so that my play a role in it, but my go to response is to just shut down usually and stop doing that thing or avoid it all together.
