I wonder when we're gonna get a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet as a tale of star crossed lovers, one a gooner, one ace

It's weird that my dorm/apartment block (Is it still a dorm if people who haven't been students since the 70s live here?) has its own fully equipped bar and microbrewery but no grocery store.

Had a dream about not being able to get back to sleep. The fuck?

I got a lot done. I guess Iran attacking back lifted my spirits a bit and also gave me something to do while doing other stuff. My modified PS1 stopped working but I was able to fix it by finding one of my solders stopped working and I reflowed it. Changed the batteries on the last of my GBC carts. Finished the Haruhi Suzumiya manga. Finished the 10,000 coin grind in Mario Kart 8. Caught up on some YT videos I've been meaning to watch (mostly anime reviews). Caught up on most of my cleaning and stuff. Sewing patches on my backpack because I'm transferring them to a new one since the old one got ruined de to reasons (taking me awhile because it's a pain in the ass to sew with the thick material and I keep putting it off).

I periodically get the fantasy worldbuilding itch and honestly it's more annoying than anything. Mostly because I don't write want to write a fantasy novel (and don't write fantasy-as-such for my larger creative projects in general), and realistically working full time combined with the active communist lifestyle wouldn't make a d&d group feasible, my main friend group I'd recruit from for such a thing would be people with the same issue schedule-wise.

Maybe I'll pick my d&d hobby back up if I make it to retirement

This was posted on a Bluesky.

I expected the top reply would be some kind of "Yeah!". I was very wrong.

Nothing says "let's fight back against fascism" like using AI owned by techno fascists.

Without telling my partner about the mega, he suggested we have chilequiles this morning. Hell yea

If Iran can hit Tel Aviv I can ask for a raise tomorrow

This might be verging on but when those fascist Patriot Front fuckers get in their moving trucks to leave they are literally fish in a barrel

it is june 13 and stalin saved the world from fascism

Imagine being Shahab Moradi, Soleimani has been assassinated by the US, you are quoted as america has no heroes, blah blah blah you cant bomb spiderman or spongebob, then fast forward and Anti-ICE and general anti-american protests are sparking across the country and there were people coming out ON THE SIDE OF THE PROTESTERS dressed as batman and shit like that.

I turned it off, but I swear during the part of the military parade where they showed the unit of the guys with the little drones, there were only like two drones flying in the air and one soldier was just holding up a third drone.

Like, was it broken? Why would you only have three and only two that would fly? And the drones looked like something you could buy in a best buy in 2014.

Decided to look at Twitter for the first time in a while and it's currently like 1/3 anime fanart and 2/3 "nuke Tel-Aviv now"

Andy's mom also had toys named "Buzz" and "Woody".

My chef continuing to be the most ignorant dumbass ever- when I told him Israel had bombed Tehran (and then said where it is) and Tel Aviv had been hit later in the shift, he said "it'll be interesting to see which side America falls on."

We're on decent enough terms i could say directly "I know you keep your head real deep in the sand but you've gotta be hitting mantle not knowing where America is gonna stand on this conflict. Im pretty certain theyre gonna side with their aircraft carrier on land and not the country they've been hoping to square off against since the late 70s

CW: real shit, being depressed a.f., if you’re feeling down this post will probably make you feel worse.

Comrades I am not doing well. Had a breakup on Monday, failed a physical for a job application on Wednesday (part of a multi stage process that took months, job would have been life changing money wise), the news is completely bleak, the average house price in my country just passed a MILLION DOLLARS. Cheaper than US dollars but still. I make like 60k a year guys. I accepted I would never own a home not far into my adult life, but still.

Beyond the immediate shitty news coming from the US and Iran and half the rest of the world, there’s the slow burn of knowing our climate (and society) is gonna collapse in my lifetime. That my body is full of plastic. That despite years of organising and working in a commie org, the struggle is quantitatively exactly the same as when we started in our country. The people responsible will not be punished. I am depressed for myself, for my friends, for the third world, for my class.

Personally and societally things are not going well and I’m just extra feeling it atm. I’m sure y’all know how it is, when shitty stuff happens in your personal life all that political/societal shit that sits in the recesses of your mind starts breaking through the cognitive dissonance that allows you to function day to day without the horrific weight of what is confronting us all crippling you.

Ive done therapy on and off and what? What can a therapist say to make any of this better, lol? “Have you tried journaling”, “oh let’s do a meditation”. Not to mention I can barely even afford THAT!!! I spend literally half my income on rent!!!! Therapy costs 5% of what I make in a fortnight!!!!!! I have 40 fucking dollars in the bank until Wednesday!!!!

I take my antidepressants as I have for over a decade and they must take the edge off I guess. God knows how I’d be without them. I consume “””content””” by listening to audiobooks or YouTube all day at work and at home. Oh look at me I’m listening to educational communist content, I am making a difference I am not just another consumer at the fucking slop trough!!!! I look down on people who consoom Netflix and marvel slop every night and spend all day talking about it at work but what am I doing?! I am so superior with my non stop ingestion of Google product!

Whatever. I don’t want y’all to worry that I’m gonna self harm or whatever (I will definitely be getting drunk this weekend however). I have irl friends and comrades around. Just woke up in a super shitty mood today after this week, kinda been spiralling, wanted to get this off my chest. Even after typing it out I feel a bit better. I’ll keep going, because what else can we do? The struggle is all there is.

Soy-nazis are saying it's cultural imperialism for the Demon's Souls remake to do "body type A, B" instead of gender. They're so fucking lame.

The world sits on the toilet, the new poop struggles to be born.

Consumed by dread

When I was a kid and fucked up/got in trouble for no reason id try and draw something to give to my adoptive parents to show im sorry and their biological children would get sooooo fucking mad and yell at me/hit me to get me to stop

Anyway, just got a drawing from my friends kid as a thank you and it made my day, its so sweet

I was raised by and around the actual scum of the earth and constantly have discoveries as an adult of how nice life is when you aren't a huge piece of shit

Decided to go to an open mic and the guy makes a weird joke about having trouble lifting because he could see the clit of the woman spotting him. I felt bad for him at first because nobody was laughing at his jokes but then the cringe kicked in after he said that.
