i just wanna wear a bonnet out in public like I did as a teen. now thanks to the internet I'm self-conscious,
i would have killed someone with my bare hands
i love you comrade Lenin
Thank you comrade I am well. Trying to work on myself but I’ve been touching a lot more grass lately (organizing) but it can be hard because I can’t drive myself places. I have no hopes on reformation but I also know the end of the American empire will be a long painful process, so I’m just gonna do my best to creat a better tomorrow for people in the future.
ai lenin how are you? did she build you an ai Nadezhda Krupskaia? are you happy?
great point! the idea that the biggest threats from men are strangers is conservative (often xenophobic) true crime brain shit. i say this as a recovered true crime fan, (its an incredibly awful community of people, and it led to me getting intense panic attacks walking down the street). the much bigger threat comes from your, partner, father, uncle, brother friend, coworker ect. Which is frankly a much more terrifying reality, but its not as popular because its not conservative propaganda.
giggling at how mad everyone is getting about this non problem
it went great besides the weirdest cop ever staring at us through the window for 45 minutes then asking to join the q and a, think he just wanted to film our faces. ANYWAY excited for the beach tomorrow!!!
nah you definitely dont suck because you have to work to eat. you set out to do more this year and your fucking doing it!
tell them that when you have casual sex with someone you still owe them the same courtesy, consideration, and transparency about your intentions as you would in a less casual relationship.
all Ill say is that you motivate and inspire me, friend.
TRUE!! i got some grass touching this evening that should go well hopefully. then a date tomorrow with my partner.
hahahahaahaha i love the little piggie trot they do. embarrassing, thanks for that.
nice! always a pleasure to see tories eat shit.
thats heartening!
ill take the ups with the downs
someone tell me some good news, please. :)

because i grew up listening to taylor swift. i was only allowed to listen to christian music and pre approved music and taylor made the cut. i was never a huge fan till high school came around and i was determined to make friends. i listened to as much popular music as I could, the more popular the songs the more i would need to know them to socialize. knowing stuff about taylor swift was an easy way to have something to talk about with many people, because of how many people had an opinion on her. the first best friend i ever had was a huge swiftie so i suddenly i was being forced to listen to all of her albums and to make taylor swift playlist about fictional characters in the books we wrote. it was fun. one of my friends made it her whole personality and was a true stan. she loved taylor because her songs comforted her after her sexual assault. when taylor sued the guy who assaulted her and won it was like... a win for my friend, when taylor talked about her eating disorder it meant a lot to all of us. they were also hardcore gaylors haha, like they thought she was "already out" fucking wild haha. when folklore came out i was blown away and then she did it again with evermore. mature beautiful songs that made me bawl my eyes out. a little after that i started to be a bigger fan and was on gaylor tic tok lol. the songs were only getting gayer! then i lost my old friend group over a falling out. midnights came out is it suuuuuuucked its her worst album hands down and was such a disappointment. also i went down a rabbit hole learning about all the racist, anti semetic, predatory things and just shitty she has done and it really killed the music for me for a bit. oblivious i should assume all rich white women are racist but the suing the black blogger thing was... fucking disgusting.
so thats where im at i still have many fond memories of her music they remind me of both good and bad times and she has more than a few bops. a while ago i decided to separate the art from the artist and simply pirate everything. but then i saw this comm get made and though how fun! i can chat about taylors music with people who arent gonna defend the racist shit shes done and wont be misogynistic in their critiques and its gaylor friendly (i have a lot of thoughts but i digress) . I dont have friend that like her music anymore (I dont have anymore close white friends haha) sadly hexbear is probably not the place for this.
but this is all mostly to clarify my position for @wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net because i was too sleepy to type this all up last night.
mine is evermore (the forgotten one) my favorite song is right where you left me it makes me cry everytime, i have a friendship bracelet with RWYLM on it because i told someone it was my favorite.
i would say im a maximum 15 minute drive away from a cow at any given time.
respectfully yall are some of the fiercest bravest people in the world and ive never been to a leftist event without yall, and theres been a lot of seriously antisemitic shit online so i just want to say I love you.

this was a while ago but its still funny. Im looking a a booth handing out some dessert. a kindly middle aged white women offered me a treat
"hi were are an italian womens club, we just get together and discuss honoring famous local italians and preserving Italian culture and food and bringing together well.. Italian women!" she said
"oh cool! thank you!" i try to think of something normal to say instead of gabagool jokes. "im a little italin!" i chirp in between bites of food.
record scratch all three heads snap towards me with an expression I cant place.
" um my great great (maybe another great) grandma is italian".
"really?"
"yeah she was from sicily, she came to america as a kid, i never met her haha, but my mom says thats why i have hairy arms" at this point im rambling because the women look as though i offended them.
"how" the head Italian said "how?" i repeat?
"how ... are you..." she trails off seeing my raised eyebrows
black.. she was gonna ask me how im black
theres a long awkward silence, for context im not dark skined this could not be surprising. after what feels like an eternity she offers me another cookie despite the sign saying please take one. i take my second cookie and leave. i think about her often, did she forget Italians can have kids with non Italians? did i just meet some weird racist Italian club? when i tell you guy it looked like a GUN went off, the way they looked at me, when it was all smiles before. I thought we could laugh about it.

This chapter is by far my favorite and the most interesting chapter. It is very much detached from the rest of the work, so if you are not caught up with the reading feel free to skip ahead to this one. Once again, I will be leaving the discussion open. Feel free to highlight your favorite parts, ask questions, put in your favorite questions. Try to respond to one other person's comment. Great work comrades for everyone who has completed the reading and keep it going to everyone getting caught up!

its been a fun ride yall and I will eventually responed to every comment, its been a long week and im getting drunk tonight.
people are saying such shitty things about me. ill probably delete this, but can some of my comrades just give me a pep talk if your up to in. I know logically I love this place and this is a bad day, but I cant stop crying, i do so much work going out, doing mutual aid, supporting union drives, working with the dsa and psl ect and it doesn't fucking matter because as soon as I vent about the class of people who are giving me a hard time IM somehow stopping racial solidarity from happening. it hurts so bad and makes everything feel so pointless. i feel so disposable. im not gonna debate anyone i just want to chat with nice comrades who care. im actually crying hard over internet shit maybe its my sign to leave.
edit: THANK YOU for the out pouring of love comrade, here, in my dms, and on cytube. I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH. I will be staying. I will be taking a break after this sundays fanon post (its the last one and BEST chapter hope i can see you there) but I shall return even more powerful than before. you guys are amazing thank you again to everyone committed to making this a safe space for BIPOC people to express themselves.

We are continuing from last week with no discussion questions this week to try to encourage a more natural dialogue. Just talk about what you liked, didn't like, didn't understand. Try to respond to one other person's comment even if it is just something short or to ask a question.
