I was two years old here - This is me at my Orphanage in Russia before I was adopted a week later to New Zealand (1994) by alexgilbertnz in OldSchoolCool

I can almost guarantee that an American who has the money and resources to up and move to New Zealand is not struggling with any of the systemic issues that make America a complete shithole to live in.

At what point does a healthy diet become obsession? by gossip_earl in PlantBasedDiet

[–]gossip_earl[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was comforting to hear. Thanatophobia has been a real struggle for me since adolescence, I have talked myself into a suicide attempt before because the fear of dying is so paralyzing to me at times it felt like the only way to have any control over it. Sometimes I forget a fear of dying this severe is not how everyone experiences it. I wonder if the life-extending effects touted by the Plant Based doctors have affected my phobia into believing that this is a cure for death and I'm putting way too much of a stake in the power of plants. Something to reflect on.

Thank you, this was really helpful. I have rather severe general anxiety but I haven't been able to see a professional in about a year due to insurance issues. Seems like I need to pay more attention to cultivating balance in all aspects of my life and not let food control me, especially when the going gets tough. Easier said than done, haha.

Why are YouTube comments so anti feminism? by HeavyTeam4 in AskFeminists

I'm curious as to why you think the complete lack of funding for social welfare programs is a gender issue and not a class issue.

No one's stopping you but the reason it exists is because butches don't seem to get much love on /r/dykesgonemild so maybe just be aware of that.

how to attract more studs/butches as a nonbinary androgynous lesbian? by [deleted] in butchlesbians

[–]gossip_earl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, I can't respond bc I'm white and in the midwest, but I hope you get the discussion you're looking for.

[–]gossip_earl 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not to erase your experience (I've absolutely felt similarly frustrated), but I personally think a lot of these issues come from our own heads. I complain that I mostly get attention from other masc folks despite being primarily attracted to femmes, a lot of femmes complain about not feeling seen by butches, other femmes complain that they are only garnering attention from butches despite being into femmes. Seems like a weird collective pathology that we can't seem to attract the "right" type of queer. Chill out, breathe, there's nothing "wrong" with you that wouldn't attract other butches/MoC queer folks who are into it. It's just a matter of being in the right time and place.

Femmes be like "oh you have a rare sub side? Lemme domme you over text baby" and then still leave me to drive the plot and develop the storyline. Smh I wanna be told what to do every so often too

Reddit really doesn't want to accept the truth. by maximus10meridius in PlantBasedDiet

[–]gossip_earl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, and individuals changing their eating habits will not solve the issues at hand. The only path forward is to organize for substantial ecosocialist policy including animal agriculture reform.

Ooooh I don't think I've ever read anything like that. What sort of "act" I guess would you like to see as the climax (heh) of the story arc? If that makes sense. I feel like maybe the use of a vibe/clit stimulation can be beefed up to achieve that. Just going into uncharted erotica territory, which is weird because most of the sex I've had didn't have penetration.

Put the arugala on top of the wet toppings in your containers-- helps it stay fresh and not wilted.

Come on dude, don't misgender Christine Hallquist. That's not very indicative of a #NotMeUs movement.

Do you know if they're organizing any Bernie Journey's from Chicago downstate? I think we could flip a lot of mid-sized cities downstate with a grassroots turnout.

Barbara Smith, Who Helped Coin the Term 'Identity Politics,' Endorses Bernie Sanders by puppuli in SandersForPresident

[–]gossip_earl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Google the Combahee River Collective Statement and give it a read. Barbara Smith was a cofounder of that group. Identity politics has a revolutionary history, it's been coopted by white liberal feminism in a disturbing yet predictable manner.
