The local Albertan, rediscovering what it means to be me. May play devil’s advocate at times, as I like being nuanced.

Enjoys electronic music, adorable art, rhythm games, and perogies among other things.

I have lemmy.world and piefed.world blocked. Sorry, too much American politics and an unfortunate amount of casual transphobia for my liking. Feels like talking to a brick wall with people and I can’t be bothered anymore.

Also have lemmy.ml blocked for transphobia and gross dismissal of human rights issues in China by the admins.

  • I had an idea for a community called “shitty art prompts” where people would give bizarre prompts for art for others to work with, but haven’t come around to creating it mainly because I can’t draw for the life of me, and it wouldn’t sit right with me if I created and moderated a community I didn’t have the proper talents to contribute to.

    Thanks for that.

    If I’m sitting on a busy bus for example, and two people, a couple, sit in front of me and start making out with some tongue on tongue action, I’m going to be disturbed. I’m not comfortable with that, and I didn’t consent to seeing that.

    People have their kinks and sexually intimate acts that they’re into. Consent on both parties is important, but what’s important as well is the consent of people around you in seeing that. A regular kiss, hug, or other purely romantic or platonic show of affection you don’t need other people’s consent for, so a person claiming “consent” when gay people hold hands or kiss in front of them is just a bigot.

    For the same reason I wouldn’t send a picture of kink art I know a friend isn’t into without their consent, I also wouldn’t indulge in my kinks in public where I know most people won’t be into it, as they didn’t consent to, for example, seeing me on a leash in this case (not my thing, hypothetical application of the pic).

    It’s common decency? I’m not going to judge someone for what they wear in public, but when it comes to sexual stuff, it’s just a matter of being mindful of others.

    Not a “think of the children” or “I’m uncomfortable with queer people existing” sorta deal with what I’m saying either, making sure my words don’t get twisted, but a leash to me gives the same vibes as say, a couple having an intense makeout session on the bus. Like do you need to make this public?

    This a minor nitpick here, I know, just worried something like that gives fuel to the narrative jackwad with the sign is pushing.








  • I was feeling like shit last month. I decided a few months ago to stop taking my anti-depressants thinking it would be best to change my thinking patterns, and while it did work for a bit, last month I felt like crap seemingly out of nowhere initially, but then that spiraled into feeling unappreciated by people.

    Not gonna delve into them, but you think some really dark thoughts when you feel alone and as though you mean nothing to people. I sent an old friend from my hometown a message in the latter half of the month before, and didn’t get a response, so I simply sent a message asking if we were still friends, thinking it wouldn’t be worth bothering. I hadn’t talked to this guy in ages, why would he say yes after all this radio silence I’ve been giving?

    But no, this guy responded immediately, hyped up to hear from me again, saying of course we were still friends. It’s been slow working things up again, but that just comes with schedule conflicts and not living in the same city, but that was an instant mood changer after nearly two weeks of it being in freefall.

    Helped me start putting more focus on giving myself accurate self-assessment. Been writing down times I felt appreciated by others for reference for when I feel like that again so I can nip those thoughts in the bud next time.
