Removed my platner reposts. Going through every stage of grief over this fucking guy. Taking a break from the senate race updates for a bit.

Breaking news that really shouldn’t be breaking: being a nazi is bad. Having a Nazi tattoo is bad. and as voters we shouldn’t have to compromise on this

Im the last person i would call knowledgeable on politics. I’m just a Woodsqueer from Maine who gets incredibly frustrated when being rural is put at odds against being progressive. I dont believe I’m an outlier either, I think most bigoted people in rural areas are capable of change

Exasperated is definitely a good word for this though. it feels like there’s no winning. Just acknowledging rural areas shortcomings and trying to improve them seems like a lost cause with the current maga cult state of things. But abandoning those areas isn’t an option either.

I appreciate your clarification. I did like your post in all fairness, and I didn’t really disagree with where you were coming from either. My post is a much more abt the repeated habit of the internet. Like when people went around saying we should abandon Texas bec it was a red state.

Can we have a good option in literally any election ever ?

Casey ☿️🧿 @tirsembrace.bsky.social · 3d

I’m not in Maine right now. I’ve been pretty open abt having to move for work and how I’ve felt very out of place and homesick. I hate that the morally correct option is painted to be “just move to the city”. I have no thoughts past that on how to fix it. It just makes me sad.

Hasn’t been the loveliest thing to open social medias and get hit with that good old 2016 era “poor/rural people are idiotic and worthless” lines of thinking. Yes lack of education and bigotry is a more concentrated issue in rural places. We are trying to turn it around I swear.

I don't think that you should have a Nazi tattoo.

Someone's ability to understand Watchmen is always a pretty good baseline test of their intelligence.

I finally read that Peter Thiel essay about Alan Moore's WATCHMEN, and it's incredible that his actual argument is: "Moore argues that Ozymandias will fail because history defeats all world conquerers, and no victory is permanent. But maybe I, Peter Thiel, am built different?"

Even if it’s a place you’ve never been to yet, everyone deserves that feeling of rest and belonging. I hope when you find it everything clicks into place the way it was always meant to be.

I understand the feeling. It’s easy getting caught between A place Thats been kind and (comparatively) easy to survive in vs a place that you feel is home but is an uphill battle to grab and hold on to.

I wish you all the best in returning to your true home.

I’ve seen this rad Kyle Baker promo for 35+ years but only now realized that line is from The Night Before Christmas. It sounds so sinister but it’s actually about Santa Claus.

Promo for The Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told with tagline “I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself…”

I cannot for the life of me find it transcribed online, but the poem “How To Become An Armenian” by Diana Der Hovanessian is one of the more meaningful answers I’ve found thus far.

Being out as trans 100% of the time is not an option for me right now, and honestly I can’t imagine wanting to be. There will always be a voice in the back of my head (and a much louder one from my peers) saying I’ve turned my back on the community. I haven’t, im just struggling for balance.

I tend to take the path of least resistance, which I wouldn’t argue is necessarily a good thing. Recently I just haven’t had the energy to argue any of my identity. If I can get by being a bluecollar gay man without being bombarded with questions, than at least I get a fucking break.

I often feel like different aspects of my identity are big cinder blocks I carry around and sometimes I fumble and drop them along the way while trying to balance.

As ive spent the past 2-3 months doing nothing but ol fashion American hick bullshit, i definitely have that tinge of guilt
