this may be early, don't worry about it, pin it whenever

First mega wooo, now I get to have my inbox flooded!

Friendship ended with coffee, now tea is my best friend. No promises but I'll try to post about a different tea each day!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

transphobiaan auditor trying to get a rise out of me today kept asking if i'm a man or a woman then pointed his camera at my throat and said "if there's an apple then there's a banana" and tbh i just burst out laughing. i wish there were a non-transphobic way to reuse that line bc it's kind of funny in a "imagine being such a gender cop" way.

    ah no, they call themselves auditors. they're just chuds who stick cameras in people's faces and try to provoke "the wokes" for content for their no-views youtube channels. it's all a bit sad really.

    Ooooh like first amendment auditors. I thought this was some kind of court proceeding or something. My sentiment remains the same though!

    I mean yes, people going on the streets to harass us is definitely sad.

    yes, that type of thing! definitely my bad for not explaining properly. and not everyone is terrible - start getting involved in some activism in your new city if you feel up to it and you'll meet people who'll restore your faith in humanity

    No you're good. I also didn't know if you were from somewhere else with slightly different terms, like the UK or Australia.

    My faith in humanity is gone not because I don't think there's some good people (you gays), but because the overwhelming majority are dogshit! We'll see. I'd like to but Autumn Hill (search my posts) has me quite scared for my safety!

    spoileroh fuck, i read about that but her name didn't stick. so horrendously messed up. i live in a country where expressing support for those resisting empire is terrorism. we'll reach a point here where, if everything is terrorism, people will just do actual terrorism since the punishment is the same. i obviously don't support anybody breaking the law fedposting but i can't help but wonder if the state has engineered the extreme over-punishment in your country and mine to provoke an extreme reaction which will then be used to manufacture the consent needed for the state to begin something much worse.

    it's very understandable that you'd want to stay well away.

    spoiler

    restore your faith in humanity

    we might both be about to get genocided

    You gave in pretty quickly lol. But yea, maybe. Hope not. The parallels are all there.

    All I want is for an existence without constant suffering but my "fellow" "people" seem hell bent on ruining it.

    Perhaps our god carbon dioxide will finally break the cycle of suffering.
