I'm genuinely a much happier, healthier, and overall more satisfied person now that I live in a walkable city and can bike as both a hobby and a mode of transport. I wish more cities in the US were this dense. I wish this was more accessible to people.

Maybe someday. Things seem to be moving in a generally positive direction, even if slowly. I've recently realized just how effective local activism and showing up to community meetings is (spoiler: VERY.)

Wanting a video interview for an admin spot is so wild lmfao, they take themselves so seriously

We should give the buses snow plows to push people like this out of the way.

If only there was some kind of alternate mode of personal transport that doesn't require government licensing and registration....

... Ride a bike, you say? What, like a fucking communist or something?

I would love to run my main machine off Linux, but none of the software I need in the day-to-day runs seamlessly on it, unfortunately. That's still a pretty big obstacle for me.

Every time I hear her name I'm haunted by that one British lesbian artist who made a horny Hillary Clinton fanzine and sold it online.

Had no idea this forum even existed lmao. Absolutely bizarre to scroll through it and every other post is like "The Cybertruck killed my family and sliced my ankles and also the employees spit in my eye when they delivered it," inevitably followed by comments along the lines of, "Aw man, I'm still waiting for mine. Lucky!"

Brain rot.

I've got multiple white queer friends who are staunchly "vote blue no matter who" and dissolve into a trembling breakdown whenever they're asked about it, talking about how if republicans win the world is going to end etc. Like, full on angry-crying wojak, talking about third-party voting being a waste, Project 2025, etc. Coincidentally, these friends hardly ever engage with activism.

How do you choose to engage with these kinds of people? What's the general opinion on the vote in leftist circles, considering so many are refusing to vote for Biden (just checking the water temp since I've been largely offline save for activism and work lately)?

I've been away from Hexbear for a minute, apologies if this has been discussed!

Can we pls just have more butches kitty-cri-texas

 

See title. I hate that there's no little huts for selling newspapers, snacks, and smokes to people. Closest thing I have here in the US is bodegas, but they don't scratch the same itch. Cold days like this make me nostalgic.
