Unbelievable horny posting

Absolutely. Deeply unserious people.

Events are static and devoid of context, duh

I think that would have helped me a lot, sounds like a cool experiment for everyone to learn from! Hard, irrefutable data from your own making really helps contextualize systemic issues that can be easy to blow off if you aren’t personally a victim.

Can definitely agree with you regarding makeup, my fiancé uses me as a model sometimes and I hate it, lol.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!

Would love an effortpost on org theory and why the Dems are immune to entryism, and need to be abandoned entirely.

Thank you for your perspective! Really helps me contextualize a lot of how I feel. I am sorry to hear about your traumatic childhood experiences.

One area where I can relate is that I have relatively recently accepted that I’m pansexual. I’ve been relentlessly bullied since I was a kid for being “fruity” and always internally justified myself as straight. Not to say that queer people necessarily fit a stereotype, of course, I’ve just never been traditionally masculine and always had gay tendencies. All that being said, I’m in a het relationship, even though we are both pan we present het, so it can be easy to “mask.” I feel like that clouds my own judgement.

I do greatly appreciate your point on how I can be a good ally and comrade IRL in ways that don’t “baby” marginalized people. I try to do that when I can, but I think that’s an area I can work harder on. I’m relatively timid IRL and that timidness is a privledge I need to overcome.

Thank you!

Pan looks empty because they keep eating them

Hell yea

Also will donate when I can, of course.

Hexbear frequently has megathreads, this is a general megathread. There’s another thread on the US election if you want!

Thanks! I have read Oppose Book Worship before, it has been massively helpful in learning more Marxist Theory and speaking or not speaking on factual aspects of theory and history.

My struggle, if you can call it a struggle, is more about how I interact with marginalized people. I’m learning that I am likely coming off as fake or condescending when I support marginalized comrades and speak on issues I personally cannot directly relate to. That’s why I struggle to see if my goal is truly to do good, or if it’s to feel good about myself. I don’t need to give my opinion on a struggle I don’t directly relate to, others can, and I can shut the fuck up and listen more.

I haven’t solved that yet. I can’t trust my own intentions yet.

I’m not looking for a pat on the back or anything, just wanted to vent a bit. I know this is an incredibly privledged “problem” to have.

Just want to be a better comrade and ally, and that I think means I need to be more comfortable with taking a backseat. Clowning on racists, transphobes, homophobes, etc? Totally fine for me to go off. A marginalized person talking about their struggles? I can offer solidarity but really need to shut the fuck up more or else I come off as fake and condescending, and let other people who can directly sympathize speak up.

Ayy let’s go! Keep us posted

The meal I eat nearly every day is beans and rice, with onions and various seeds for extra nutrients. Dried beans and dried rice are time consuming to cook but much better in flavor and price, and they are fully vegan. Spice them up too if spices fit your budget.

For refried beans, cook beans separately and then fry garlic and chilies in a pan with about 3 tablespoons of your preferred fat like canola oil or coconut oil, this makes the oil flavorful, then add the beans and their liquid, reduce and smash.

Thinking about getting into it, my fiancé is great at music but I suck. I need a creative outlet.

In my “I need to shut the fuck up more” era

Good intentions don’t always mean my viewpoint is wanted or necessary, and others who relate more can speak up just fine. I know this is common sense, but I’ve been real bad about this lately and think I’ve annoyed or frustrated others.

Course, I could be misreading it, but it’s better to shut the fuck up sometimes. Could be internal chauvanism, could be genuine good intentions, don’t trust myself for now. Need to read and listen more, and speak less.
