Alright, totally fair.
I just remember the silly ones.

Of all the posts I've ever seen here, I think this is the first by the creator.
Bravo!
Yes! You'll see that other parts of the house look dirty and just dust a little, put a few things away, organize...
It's surprisingly effective to have a little robot buddy!
So DEI now just means the job went to a non-white, non-GOP, not-male person.
Convenient.
Oh hell yes.
I work from home, in the basement. Getting a roomba meant I didn't have to vacuum, but I did have to pick stuff up off the floor.
So now one 15 minute break is tidying and starting the vacuum. The next is cleaning the vacuum out and organizing dishes, while a third is doing the dishes and sometimes minor dinner prep.
My wife gets to come home to a clean house and I get to do it all on the clock so it's done when I'm done with work. Total life changer.
My point is that he isn't interested in being a leader. He would rather make the easy jokes, and I've lost a ton of respect for him.
So I'm not Trans but I live with anxiety. And I'm supportive of this entire community. I can't imagine the kind of anxiety some of you experience, but at least I can offer some advice.
That anxiety is one of your best allies and worst enemies. It's told you for your entire life that something is deeply wrong with you, and now you've figured out why... but that doesn't mean the habit of being anxious is gone, NOR is there no reason to be anxious.
You have a habit of being anxious, so try recognizing when you fall into that pattern of behavior. Breathe deeply. Look around you. Keep grounded.
My personal example goes back to the Obama / McCain presidential campaign, and my negative self talk was fucking terrible. Constantly telling myself I should end this rather than fight.
And I read somewhere "How long would you stay friends with someone who talks to you the way you talk to yourself?"
I made a serious effort to change "I should kill myself" into "I should kill John McCain."
I didn't dislike the man but wouldn't have voted for him. But I hated myself, so inserting that into my negative self talk helped me disrupt it.
Dunno if this can help you or not. You'll need the therapy, medication, and yeah, you're likely on more than one spectrum. That's okay because you are who you are and that is valid.
I'm 50. I'm weird. I'm likely autistic, but why test it? I've experienced dysphoria and still do. I'm obese and not sure if it extends past not liking being this way.
But I also like my life. I've built a network of friends and allies. And I've worked to expand that network.
Breathe deep. You've got this. And you've got time to find your family. I hope it can still include your parents.
Jon Stewart would rather make jokes over a still image of Biden than step the fuck up.
You can make stupid outrage news anywhere, out of any number of issues. It does not escalate to world news.
This shit is not world fucking news.
It still wouldn't be WORLD NEWS.
Yup! The Botany of Desire. Good read.
Focuses on how apples, potatoes, tulips, and cannabis have all been vastly successful at being spread by humans because we find them useful.
