Job interviews on psychedelics are fun hey?

I tease. I’m glad someone’s joy of being themselves helped you find freedom to be yourself.

I grew up in a small town. Didn’t get exposed to other trans folks until my late 30s.

Joy is contagious :) And played a large role in my egg cracking. Also took a little help from some fungal friends.

Reminds me of this song. Carbon based lifeforms. World of sleepers

The opening part is important. A pattern of disregard for the rights of others.

Most folks will exhibit some of these traits sometimes. We might get defensive and overstep. Feel remorse and make ammends.

If you look at your life and think everyone but you is the problem, rather than understanding that sometimes I am the problem and can work on things from my end, than yeah, that’s ASPD.

But the fact that you’re capable of reflecting and asking suggests that you don’t have ASPD. Some traits, sometimes. Like most folks.

Let go of my defense mechanisms and cracked my egg on mushrooms.

Imagine getting out of bed and realizing you’re a forty year old trans woman, who absolutely hates her entire wardrobe. And in a world that stigmatizes gender non-conformity.

But my partner was very supportive, and I spent the next few months replacing my wardrobe. Started on HRT. And life got better.

Scary. Still scared. But now I know I can love and be myself. And communication and understanding between my partner and I is much better too.

This far right nepo baby doesn’t look like Greta at all.

Happy HRT birthday! Love your name btw :)

Someday we will all be food for microbes and plants.

Edit: I actually find this comforting. It wasn’t sarcasm. Plants and microbes are our greater family. Knowing the molecules in my body will feed them when I’m no longer aware brings me a sense of peace and connection.

Don’t get me wrong I would love to see her run for office. I think it would need to be something with authority though to do as much good as she is now.

Like Prime Minister or whatever they call the top position in her country.

Even if she didn’t win, she could move the needle a lot.

But that’s just one country, what she’s doing now moves the hearts and minds of folks globally.

There’s politics and establishment politics.

What Greta is doing is a political act, it raises global awareness, which puts pressure on politicians to act or risk losing their offices to folks who will.

I’m not making an argument. I’m learning to identify with a bigger picture for my sanity.

My heart weeps greatly for all of the species that are going extinct on this planet.

And I find some hope that life itself will continue here, even if it’s not complex life. Life has survived extinction events before. Life is adaptable.

I’m trying to be less attached to the form life takes, because I can’t stop climate change.

So it’s something that gives me peace. It’s not an argument that what is happening is right. Because it’s not.

I have a kid too, and it eats at me.

But I find comfort in the fact that life will carry on, even if my kid can never have the future I hoped for him when he was born.

It’s what gives me some comfort. Taking a larger perspective than just worrying about how humanity will fair.

Civilization doesn’t equal the world. Life will carry on and heal from the damage us ‘smart apes’ have done in our hubris.

Hating someone for their political views is different than hating them for their gender, sexuality, or ethnic background.

And I think wanting to punch Nazis is pretty normalized on the lemmy verse.

But I hear you, liberals are far to complacent with the far right. But they serve the same master (the dollar). So it’s not surprising.

And I thought this was a different thread. Was talking about hate crimes in another comment section a few days ago.

The forum I call home tolerates a lot of hate speech.

I think I’m out, but it’s less about the AI scraping and more about moderation.
