I’ll write something here later probably. In the meantime, hi to whoever’s reading this I hope you get a chance to enjoy something kind today :)

  • Yeah I was gonna say rare Worcester W

    Also the next joke was “unfortunately they have to live in Worcester” but considering where they’re leaving from it’s harder to make that land.

  • Tbf it was half decent when they still had Buzzfeed News, which was actual journalism. They shut that down in 2023 though.

  • Former redditors, how do you feel the conversations on lemmy differ than the ones you've observed on reddit?

    Jump

  • Far more positive and civil; people actually engage in their replies instead of the stream of recycled quips. Bad faith discussions usually get called out as such; less astroturfing.

    Small-ish forums probably help with that too since users run in the same circles and there’s less overall “noise.” It’s also much more imperative to comment on posts since there may not be much engagement otherwise.

  • The Oligarchs Who Came to Regret Supporting Hitler

    Jump

  • Iirc one of his wives reported him having a copy of Hitler’s speeches on his nightstand.

    Found an article:

    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/27/us/politics/trump-fascism.html

    Mr. Trump has long expressed interest in the most notorious dictator of the past century, Adolf Hitler, whose Nazis also used that phrase. In a 1990 interview, Mr. Trump said he had a copy of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf,” although his first wife Ivana Trump and the friend who gave him the book said it was actually “My New Order,” a collection of Hitler speeches.

  • Ocasio-Cortez says if you feel burnt out by the news lately, that’s ‘exactly’ what Trump wants

    Jump

  • “Do what you can. And what you can do is enough,” she said. …Ocasio-Cortez reminded her followers several times that no deed of resistance is too small.

    Honestly, continuing to exist/taking a moment to be nice to yourself in an administration that hates you counts. Keep existing.

    A lot of these click-baity titles and over-simplified summaries seem to be adding to this very problem of guilting people for being overwhelmed.

    Unfortunately that’s the system but please don’t feel guilty for being human. Kindness and compassion is resistance, and starting with yourself is a valid step.

    Fuck the forces who are selling a solution to a problem they created but are trying to say is your fault. /endrant

  • I’m going to pretend you’re asking in good faith and would genuinely like to learn.

    “Stimming” is “sensory stimulation,” or self-regulating behavior. When used in this context it’s not sexual. It helps (typically neurodivergent, but I’d argue most) people better process the environment around them by having a sensory input they can focus on.

    Examples of stimming are hand-flapping (waving one’s hands around), clicking a pen, listening to music, tapping one’s toes, chewing gum, just to name a few. I’m willing to bet you have stims that you may not even realize, and that’s perfectly okay.

    TL;DR: Stimming = fidgeting that helps you focus/calm down, it’s not perverted.
