Yep, work to the bone, it your still part-time so you don’t get any benefits. Your schedule sounds absolutely awful. You should look into compression socks if you haven’t yet. They help you if you’re on your feet all day.

It helps that I’m an introvert so I don’t need that much interaction but still…it does get kinda lonely. The occasional after work hangout or family time is good tho. And I try to get in some reading time or something in between everything else.

Bro I just want to make enough for rent, groceries and utilities. I don’t want anything else 😭😭😭

After a year of cheerleading genocide, now these news agencies are finding their humanity. Just like they do with every atrocity of the west.

It is important to note that exceeding 1.5C in a single year is not equivalent to breaching the Paris Agreement limit. The goal is generally considered to refer to long-term warming – typically over two or three decades – rather than annual temperatures that include the short-term influence of natural fluctuations in the climate, such as El Niño.

Fucking lmao. So by the time the politicians are ready to say we’ve breached 1.5, we’ll all be dead. Good to know.

I will be depressed. I will be sad. I will be angry. I will blow up at liberals and conservatives.

Oh, you meant about Trump?

Trump will begin implementing some policies from Project 2025, especially around restrictions surrounding abortion/reproductive health, LGBTQ rights, and immigration/refugee policies.

You’ll also see a reversal of many of the good Biden-era domestic achievements surrounding labour and consumer protections (maybe by gutting the NLRLB, but that may be a longer term project) and definitely getting rid of Lina Khan.

More Trump-appointed judges at the lower levels, even if not at the Supreme Court (within the six-month timeframe) and beginning the process of staffing federal agencies with Trump loyalists.

Begin the rollback of EPA and environmental standards, maybe gesture towards leaving the Paris Accords.

Probably some more stuff too.

People really underestimate climate change (esp. wrt its impact on global south vs on north).

Also I don’t like his policy towards Iran. And let’s see if he is worse on Palestine or not. Plus it’ll give a boost to fascist parties everywhere.

The only thing I’ve found that numbs this feeling is one that also numbs everything else - depression.

But then that leads to other issues, especially, you know, suicidal thoughts. So, it’s not a solution.

Best to just focus on your loved ones. I don’t even follow this advice myself tho lol.

I don’t know anything about anything here but this is the first time I’m seeing someone use straight as one of the identities to defend themselves lmao.

As a vegan…the fuck is Kamala Harris gonna do for animal liberation??? Huh? What?

This honestly makes even less sense than voting for her for Palestine cuz at least that’s a discussion - we are so far removed from considering animal liberation as anything more than theoretical (and veganism as anything more than consumer activism).

It’s has been the most important election of our lifetime since 2016.

Let’s get those numbers up baybee.

Thanks for the links! I’m glad someone found the video useful :)

YouTube just randomly recced it to me as I was going to sleep and I had to stay up to watch it. I couldn’t believe someone as high up in a position of power as her was being so frank and honest about what was going on.

In a way it was cathartic. But it was also depressing - even she can’t get through to the people with actual power…

You don’t have to imagine. Without Mao, China would be like India.

They both had been through a century or more of oppression and/or colonization resulting in the complete destruction of their economy, literacy, health etc. In 1947 and 1949, they were in very similar conditions.

And look at the difference between the two since then.

So, you don’t have to imagine. The world would be worse off. Now, if you had a Red India…

Answer: Nothing.

Since 1992, the UN General Assembly has passed a non-binding resolution every year, except for 2020, condemning the ongoing impact of the embargo and declaring it in violation of the Charter of the United Nations and of international law. Israel is the only country that routinely joins the U.S. in voting against the resolution. Other countries that voted against the resolution in the past include Romania in 1992, Albania and Paraguay in 1993, Uzbekistan from 1995 to 1997, Marshall Islands from 2000 to 2007, Palau from 2004 to 2009 then once in 2012, and Brazil in 2019. 187 countries voted in favor of the resolution in 2024, with only the United States and Israel voting against it and Moldova abstaining.

If it is a violation for the Charter, then fucking do something you goddamn libs.

This is the new McCarthyism, with the bill conflating antisemitism with anti-Zionism.

Why?

Yep! 250mg every day is good enough.

No way we can diagnose you like this. It’s a good idea to go to a doctor or get bloodwork done.

In the order you should consider:

B12 is essential as a vegan. You can find B12 or better yet take a B Complex (which has multiple B vitamins like B2, B3 in addition to B12).

Another good one to take is Vegan Omega 3 (most are sourced from fish, so the label should say it is vegan which means it is derived from algae).

Other than that, almost everyone needs more Vitamin D, especially as winter is coming.

After that, look at what your particular situation and see what you need, I’d say.
