There was a site I found in '98 or '99 that showed a crap graphics bubble wrap sheet and you could click them all and hear popping sounds!

Feeling that everyone’s just searching for unity, even tho some ppl are going about it ass backwards and thinking they have to go thru an exclusion phase first

I did not know about whortleberries.

My (f42) partner (25) of almost 2 yrs is a feminine man, and I love him because of it, not in spite of it.

I grew up in a “they deserve to DIE” toxic conservative household too tho, so I understand how it makes you think the whole world is like that. I can only recommend exposure therapy to help drive home that the average person is by and large loving and accepting and would rather you be your authentic self than have you jump thru imaginary hoops leftover from your childhood.

I still refuse to wear dresses and skirts bc of the gender role trauma I experienced tho, so hopefully you can do a better job than me by the time you’re my age of shrugging all that off and being exactly the kind of human you want to be, regardless of how you were raised to do or be or not do or be certain things.

I’m glad to have met you on here, see you around!

14 million ppl just from cutting USAID alone

Plot twist: you remember your “life between lives” Michael Newton’s Journey of Souls-style, and miss that home

42 here. In my teens and 20s I had depression, so I told myself horrible things like “I’m only worth anything to ppl bc of my art” and “everyone’s worse off for having known me,” but I don’t think like that anymore. I’ve been trying to think for a few mins if I tell myself positive stuff now instead, but I don’t think I do, I just stopped telling myself garbage.

You’re enough for me!

Haahaha, yes!!!

I’ll be your friend; you can actually discuss things well 💜

You might like the “If you could invent anything in the world, what would it be?”

I used to sketch out ppls’ answers and give them the drawing to remind them they’re creative even if they never considered themselves in that light before. Bc every single person I ask can come up with at least one thing, from jeans with a star patch on the back pocket to a tiny home village arrayed a certain way.

Lol but why would we use one word from one language when we can use two words from two different languages? /s

In hindsight, the Dominionism Cult was started in the 70s to take over America. The fascists have been the same this whole time. Checkout “Totalitarianism in America” by Chris Hedges. My mom was in this cult in the 90s, and I have disgusting memories of going to secret meetings where they taught ppl how to brainwash ppl and become their “friend” so they could use them. Now it’s rich ppl and republicans, same MOs though.

Thank you, good read!

That Trump cutting funding for USAID will kill 14 MILLION PEOPLE, and we’re not calling him Hitler or Ghengis Khan. Wtf.

Hire product designers and artists to go to every high school art classroom and ask kids “If you could invent anything in the world, what would it be?” and then draw it for them. So they can get a taste of that feeling that they too have something to contribute to the world. Put the ideas up on a site like kickstarter, with the profits going towards their college education. Nvm, fuck that. I’d pay for college for everybody.

I’d also travel while I could before the planet gets much hotter.

I feel like these are small goals left over from when I was younger bc I can’t properly conceive of what a world without scarcity for me and everyone else looks like. I’d start with the housing problem though, bc that’s what I’m facing rn.

I would use one of these almost every day if it were in walking distance

I like the etched one! The heat printed one looks too busy on the brown background and with that wallpaper. I kind of like the idea in another comment of etched flowers below and heat printed “B” above.

Check out www.lawofone.info. The first few sessions (they’re short) say what happened in ancient Egyptian and South American cultures when aliens came and tried to share the simple thought that “we are all one.” Shit devolved into human sacrifice. Apparently we can’t handle anything even approximating religion.

How do you know they don’t?
