    I still have not checked my messages but due to my own fucked up settings, I know that she has responded.

    I can definitively confirm both that

    1. She’s seen it.
    2. She has not left me on read

    All because I left notifications on (by mistake, though, I thought they were off).

    I don’t know when I’ll read it. I am still nervous as shit.

    She liked a comment I made on her YouTube video this morning, so at least that shows she is still willing to engage.

    I am just suffering all day every day. People say heartbreak gets better but I’m approaching half a year of my partner having a mental breakdown and ditching me and I feel worse the longer it goes. I’m just sick of suffering. That’s all.

    Talked with someone on a dating app but wouldn’t you know it, another white liberal who thinks they’re leftist ------> instant loss of interest on my part. But maybe it’s for the best because I’m not really interested. Idk why I bother.

    I’ve seen all manner of corruption and absolute shithousery on this continent that you would not believe. Failsons, embezzlement and nepotism you name it. There is no underestimating just how badly it fucks over the people. But good lord the recent fuckery in the white house somehow surpasses it. This has gotta be sabotage. If America weren’t the richest nation in history yikes-2

    living in a country with relaxed cybersecurity laws is actually a curse, I swear someday I’m going to go to somewhere more strict and I’ll get questioned at the airport for my intentions with the big ben tower.

    Been applying for 10 jobs a day… taking a break this weekend and probably just gonna start doing 3 a day but try very hard to look for real gems.

    I try not to do the “blind application just to reach a quota” thing, and when you have that mentality for 10 job applications a day, you will lose it, especially since I already have seen that even the best applications I give have proven themselves to not be so effective.

    I’m tired as shit.

      Job hunting sucks. It’s so demoralizing when you apply everywhere for anything and never get any replies. Nepotism and cronyism are also rampant, so of course failkids are in charge of everything.

    tip for any third worlders looking to move into the west: bring a nazi flag and a labcoat with you, that way they’d think you’re a nazi scientist and will let you join NASA or someshit

    I think I’m taking a break for at least a week from political news. See way too many calls to invade El Salvador without even thinking about how this will affect people living in the area. I might even go to El Salvador myself because I do have family on my mother’s side living there. Just see the people and catch up with some familiar faces I haven’t seen in a bit.

    I’ll be back and the rest of you stay strong, because God knows the whites are showing their asses on this issue.

  • I might ask this more than once, but how close are we to it being time to urgently get the fuck out of the US as, let’s say, politically-oriented non-White people?

    This shit is all moving really quickly. The President has no power, by the way. Biden could do nothing to prevent this.

      Well that’s disappointing. I stopped watching him a few years ago because I felt like I was spending too much time on YouTube instead of doing anything else. Like do I really want to spend 2 hours every day listening to video essays, even if they’re good topics? Didn’t realize he became more lib.

        Idk if he’s gotten more lib or is just one of the folks who got a little brain fried by the election and the absurd naked fascism that has accelerated since - especially the El Salvador deportation stuff

        Like Frivolous_Beatnik said, he’s not really more lib as much as its an, and I don’t really know of a better way of saying it, having the wrong reaction to whats going on. Prior to the election he had already more or less said that voting for Kamala wouldn’t be the worst thing to prevent a Trump presidency, although he wasn’t exactly endorsing her either. I haven’t watched the latest video, but when I saw it pop up on my feed I had a bad feeling. Its disappointing that he feels the need to go to bat for Dems when so many of his videos have pointed out how bad the party has been, especially when it comes to policing policy.

          He still says they’re bad, but his vibe is that Kamala would’ve been significantly different and she was kept out of office by systemic racism and misogyny which, while that’s part of it sure, is still ignoring the effect that endorsing the most publicly visible genocide in history might have on the voting populace. That, and her essentially promising nothing would get better.

            Racism and sexism does play into it, but less so in the primaries where it was obvious she wasn’t a good candidate. Dems still gush over Obama and Hillary Clinton. They simply don’t like Harris because she’s a slimeball. Minorities within the Democrats especially don’t like her because she’s a cop.

            But really it’s like you said, she promised nothing would fundamentally change. Dems forgot Biden only won because Trump mishandled covid. Once Biden got into office? He allowed Trump’s policies to continue, including ignoring covid.

            I know a lot of democrats were upset they didn’t get to vote in a primary to replace Biden. Even though they may have liked Harris, they still felt cheated she was automatically the candidate to replace Biden.

            I don’t think liberals give enough of a shit about Palestine they’d stay home. While a contributing factor among independents outside of the party, within the party it was a combination of what I said above.

    Got offered a candidacy for PSL. Guess this is actually happening, I’m doing the joining an organization thing. Immediately I’ve been invited to multiple events, like some class on modern events, and some event for the Bernie’s tour to start converting progressive libs, to immigration “know your rights” classes and outreach.

    It’s weird timing with what’s going on now, with Trump locking people up for thought crimes and such. They’re deporting people who look like me, not even being legal is protecting people. I’m fully legal, but how long will that stop them? Or hell, they could lock up my family in retribution (not to doxx myself too much but we’re not all from this country). I haven’t even done anything yet, I’m not a leader to make an example of, but am already a little nervous. I know that’s why they do their horrible stuff, to discourage people like me from joining together so we look out for ourselves instead of for each other.

    Hope I don’t come off as some fake leftist or coward, it’s just thoughts I’ve had as the invites have rolled in. And I’m hoping getting these thoughts out will be like an exhale before rolling up my sleeves to finally do actual work (other than the noble art of posting, of course).

    I can’t with this fucking weird-ass dream I had.

    Okay, so basically, in this dream, I was in a college class or something like that, and I haven’t been in college for a bit. Weird.

    And what I specifically remember is that there was this classmate of mine… he was a chubbier Black guy, looked a bit nerdy, wore glasses, and had somewhat spiky hair, and his name was “Lenward.” I specifically remember that people called him that because his first name is Leonard and his middle name is Edward.

    So, here’s what’s weird(er than that): Lenward would, out of absolutely nowhere, during lectures, just start beatboxing really well, and then he’d lay down the most fire bars imaginable, and then his desk just started levitating, and he floated around the classroom while doing it, and everyone, including the professor, was just cheering him on like, “GO, LENWARD! GO!”

    And, when I wake up, I’m like, “What the fuck was that?”
