I'm getting bloodwork done on Monday because I've been experiencing some symptoms that may or may not be related to heart failure. Pretty freaky at 34 and not knowing what's going on with me. It sucks that we don't take covid seriously and that our healthcare system is a business instead of common service.
Based, of course, but why my boy look like he just walked out of Goldeneye 007 on the Nintendo 64?
I started a decent job in the receiving department at an automotive plant about 3 weeks ago, which has been cool. 
The amount of pro-Trump, anti-union, transphobic comments I have to hear every day has not been cool, however. 
I'm just struggling with the feeling that we're living in Bizarro World when it comes to Israel. They've been starving and massacring Palestine nonstop for coming up on a year, Lebanon starts attacking in solidarity with Gaza, and now Israel is invading Lebanon like they're the victim and need to defend themselves. Meanwhile Syria and Iran are potentially in Israel's sights, and us Westerners are supposed to support Israel? It's so blatantly obvious that they are the aggressors and main destabilizing force in the region, and all of this is completely their fault. Yet you talk to any lib or turn on the TV, and Israel is just the smol lil bean who's encircled by enemies on all sides. I fucking hate all of it.
Hezbollah has said Nasrallah wasn't hurt. So Israel just carpet bombed a densely-packed neighborhood full of civilians and didn't even get the guy they were "targeting."
I have ADHD, autism, and major depression, and meditation has been a fairly powerful tool for me (when I can will myself to use it) when it comes to straightening out my thoughts so my brain isn't a big bowl of stressful spaghetti.
What's worked for me is just allowing the thoughts to race, but not allow myself to interact with them. Eventually, they'll run their course and settle down.
In practice, it kind of looks like this: I'll focus on my breathing, but I won't worry too much about quieting my mind. I only meditate when I'm extremely distraught about something. So naturally, the worries will rise to the surface and try to take over. While I'm focusing on breathing and settling down, the thoughts will come. Money issues, loneliness, responsibilities I'm avoiding, depression, dissatisfaction, etc. I'll allow the thoughts to come into the forefront, and I'll "look" at them. I'll acknowledge them, I'll allow them their space. But I won't let myself to bring them into focus and give them any type of thought. I won't engage with them. I'll just...let them be. Objectively. Once I observe the thought, it'll usually pass by and make room for the next stressful worry to show up.
EVENTUALLY, the majority of the things that are bothering me will have made an appearance. I'll observe each one, and let it pass by. After years of practice, I've learned that the thoughts and worries will run their course and I'll finally have the space to truly focus on my breathing and decompress. After all is said and done, I'm usually left with relatively organized thoughts and I am able to think clearly, without everything swimming around in my head, simultaneously trying to scream at me.
Civil protection officials said they believe the ship was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout, and sank quickly.
Big ups to my homie, God, for specifically targeting this guy.
Gone Home, Cassette Beasts, Breath of the Wild, and Red Dead Redemption are my favorites.
(me too lol)
The Pinocchios line comes from a WaPo writer who would rate how misleading a statement was by rewarding it 1-4 Pinocchios lol. The less factual a statement was, the more Pinocchios it would receive. I think the guys on Chapo parody that sometimes.
That's really blowing my mind lol.
Hey comrades, it sucks being in this position. I lost my job at the end of February, struggled with finding employment until May, found a job I really liked, and then they closed after working there for less than a month. So I've been without an income again for a few weeks, and I'm still looking for work.
Unfortunately, I fell behind on my utilities and woke up to my power being shut off. I need $350 to restore it, so I'm trying to gather money from different sources to try to make that happen. Anything towards that helps! Feel free to comment or PM me for any additional info you might want from me.
Thank you so much for reading. 
Edit: So I was able to get my power restored by making a partial payment of $50 and committing to on-time payments of $50 for the next 12 months. So, the immediate crisis has been avoided. Now I just need to keep trying to find a job so it doesn't get shut off again next month lol.
Lmao, today got even funnier. Also, fuck Joe Manchin.
I just got home from work, and she immediately greeted me at the door and led me to her food bowl so I could watch her eat. She was born feral, so she needs me to watch over her while she eats because she's concerned about predators.
When she was finished eating, she sped off across the apartment and into the bedroom, so I chased her in there. She's really weird and loves butt spanks, so she was waiting with her butt up in the air, lmao. So after I slapped her back and forth with my hands a few times, I ran away from her towards the living room. I hid behind the coffee table, and after a five second delay, I heard her run at full speed to me. When she found me, she slapped me on the forehead. Then she took off to the kitchen, where she was waiting for more butt slaps.
This is a game of tag that we play with each other almost every night when I get home, and it's one of the highlights of my day, lol. She's bizarre, and I love her.
Reddit's such a weird place. I wasn't doing well last night and found /r/S*icideWatch and wrote a post looking for help and advice. I woke up this morning to zero comments and my post was downvoted, lmao. (edit: I know going to that site in the first place wasn't a good idea, but I naively thought that a community specifically for people struggling with ideation would be a safe space)
