Since I logged back in after being away from Hexbear for around a year and a half, I've been rereading my old comments. The last few years have been really tumultuous for me personally and it's been really helpful to have a bunch of little snapshots of who I am and where my head's been at since Hexbear opened.

I'm AuDHD and have a really diffuse sense of self a lot of the time, so it's been nice getting re-acquainted with my own personality (hopes, dreams, desires, insecurities, interests, values, and everything else) especially after some drawn-out periods of burnout, depression, and just being in survival mode. I like who I am. I'm a lot kinder than I remember.

That's been helpful for guiding some of my goals and and reminding myself of what I value for getting my life back to a happier place again, too.

Plus it's been good refreshing myself on my opsec lies so I can feel comfortable not deleting my old comments and preserve my thought record for the future

The comment-reread has been a great reminder about how I really like this place. I've had a ton of fantastic conversations with the comrades here, learned all sorts of things, helped people and received help myself. The argument-to-positive-convo ratio in my comment history is honestly way lower than I even thought it would be. Huge shout out to all of the comrades here (posters and mods alike) for making it the least-terrible place on the internet

Happiness, the debut track of Kim Jong Un's favorite kpop group from cringe Korea, originally featured scenes that included imagery of 9/11 and newspapers headlines highlighting the genocidal Amerikkkan empire's atomic bombing of Japan during WWII.

The song is a quintessential light summer bop. The group was pushed to debut early (without their youngest fifth member Yeri) in order to drown out bad press their company was facing at the time.

Excerpt:

I originally conceived of neuroqueer as a verb: neuroqueering as the practice of queering (subverting, defying, disrupting, liberating oneself from) neuronormativity and heteronormativity simultaneously. It was an extension of the way queer is used as a verb in Queer Theory; I was expanding the Queer Theory conceptualization of queering to encompass the queering of neurocognitive norms as well as gender norms––and, in the process, I was examining how socially-imposed neuronormativity and socially-imposed heteronormativity were entwined with one another, and how the queering of either of those two forms of normativity entwined with and blended into the queering of the other one.

The last couple months, I've seen an increase in people with various neonazi, white supremacist, and fash tattoos - just picked up some info for identifying them over the years hanging out in lefty spaces.

My wife wanted to learn some of the more common ones so she can identify fash when I'm not around, and I want to refresh my memory, so we can be more cautious around potentially-dangerous fash.

Anyone know of good resources for identifying them?

The Moranbong Band, also known as Moran Hill Orchestra, is an all-female music group in North Korea whose members were selected by the country's supreme leader Kim Jong-un. Performing interpretive styles of pop, rock, and fusion, they are the first all-female band from the DPRK, and made their world debut on July 6, 2012. Their varied musical style has been described as symphonic because it is "putting together different kinds of sounds, and ending in a harmonious, pleasing result.

My mental health got into a weird superposition of "better" and "worse" so my brain reshuffled all of my interests and hobbies and the grillpill ones came out on top. But after the last ~~decade~~ week it felt like time to come home to the most powerful posters.

Noticed we've got PvP enabled now

Anything else interesting happen recentlyish? Any good struggle sessions?

lmao

I love men who love men too!

And I love it when people trans their genders, top notch if you ask me.

I fucking love you nerds, I adore my queer comrades and would like to platonically kiss them all on the forehead

Alexei Leonov was a prolific and talented artist, and drew and painted many pictures inspired by his experiences in space

This particular picture is rather special though, because he drew the first draft for it while in space using coloured pencils he took with him

honestly earth sucks too much to worry about the things that get the happy neurotransmitters going in your brain. Like maybe don't support awful people or buy into terrible ideologies, but no one's gonna know if you torrent and watch a harvey weinstein film or the west wing or something.
