there Should be a convenient way for people to nonverbally express a general mental state. but it's not currently being developed alongside a system wherein people who don't have the option of just memorising the guidelines have a way to understand it

and really the primary issue is that if it's not accessible for people to understand, they're gonna have to ask for clarification. which, yes, defeats the purpose, but more importantly can cause problems for people who are signalling a bad state

ok so in concept the whole idea of like. easy symbols or whatever to indicate current emotional state / ability to talking / &c. is really great? but uh, it doesn't really work in a medium like this one. it really only works when there's some kind of constant or immediately available reminder of what everything means

like, i'd love to be able to signal that stuff on here, and i'm gonna boost it whenever i see it bc it's a great idea. but it's absolutely hostile to my comprehension in this state

so im supposed to be analysing this article but i keep getting pissed off at the capitalisms in it and also getting distracted by adhd hellbrain so basically ive spent eight hours writing half a sentence

'a fetching tuxedo and miniskirt combo'

wow i wish i had the kind of confidence to attempt a look like that. it's not really quite a Me look but like. i want the confidence

"What time is it?" I don't know... it keeps changing.

what level of intellectual dishonesty does it take to list examples of non-capitalistic ways of living in the middle of your assertion that it's impossible to create a non-capitalist society. who tf

how do you even engage intellectually with someone whose core premise is based on a refusal to engage intellectually with their subject matter

this is what i'm doing currently and i Hate it So Much. there's So Much wilful ignorance i have to wade through just to be able to say 'so yeah this person is full of shit'

actually activism stuffs in general i'm also working on some gender & disability things

apparently today's gender is listening to queen and being vehemently anticapitalist

It is unfortunate that this is an evergreen tweet.

every time i say something positive about myself it's coming from a place of insurmountable deep-seated self-loathing. and you know what? i am fucking PROUD of that. it took me DECADES to get so far that i could even IMAGINE saying anything positive about myself. so FUCK YOU low self esteem

what the heck are my fingers typing out haha

Affection-adjacent 

I still maintain that "that's gay" is the best response to "I love you"

it's fun having the kind of friends where completely out of the blue someone will spout a full on like essay rant of how a particular musical is hella queer

Oops:

The Right: The Left is using trans rights to justify a cyborg uprising to crush the patriarchy and make way for fully automated pansexual gender fluid communism.

The Left: *long toke* That sounds rad as fuck
