  • My deeply red town elected all democrats into positions of power. My entire COUNTY flipped from red to blue on Tuesday. I was absolutely floored. I'm feeling hopeful for the first time in years

  • Me when I got back into horses after 13 years.

    Send help, I have an addiction for grooming supplies. I own like 4 stiff bristle brushes.

  • I'm already looking for a better job. My current job is so goddamn toxic. It's hard because the market for my kind of work is ABYSMAL. I have all of my friends asking their employers for things and I'm considering taking up an easy part time gig on weekends if I can get back in with the nonprofit I worked for in college

  • I've been making plans to go out and help the cause. It's been hard because I'm barely surviving with the income I make and my health has been pretty bad. I do remind everyone I know to vote and I provide information on things to those people so they can make informed decisions. I'm going to look into online stuff that I can do to help and I'm going to the next No Kings thing

  • Pennsylvania. My town is specifically in a rural part of SW PA.

    Looks like my entire county flipped!

    I'm hopeful for the first time in a looooong time.

  • Pennsylvania voters retain three state Supreme Court justices, preserving Democrats' 5-2 majority

  • My deeply republican town just voted in all democrats into position of power tonight. Looks like a lot of other places in my state had the same happen. I'm feeling hope for the first time in years.

  • Every day I'm so much more thankful for Lemmy existing. Joining the exodus when third-party reddit apps died has been great for my overall online experience. Lemmy may not have the traffic that reddit does, but the quality of posts here and the community makes up for that.

    I love encountering people I recognize in random posts. Found some comments about my horse in a post on a community separate from the one I post pics of her in and the post had nothing to do with her. Made me feel really happy to stumble across that. You can't get that kinda wholesome shit with reddit.

  • I fucking despise the whole natalism divide. We should just treat procreation like alcohol:

    BREED RESPONSIBLY.

  • Ah. See, I don't want children because I'm what you call a selfish person and want to live my life completely unbound. Kids would just kill my dreams and the vibe.

    The ethical part is just a bonus to make me feel even better about my decision.

  • How my grandmother was when my sister was adopted. Never treated her the same as the rest of the grandkids. Even when my sister helped care for the bitch 24/7 while she was living in our home dying of self-inflicted lung cancer.

    I was not sad when my grandmother died, if you can tell.

  • Told my mom I didn't want kids and she said, "Oh you'll change your mind"

    I came out to my mom as gay and she said "well you can always adopt"

    Then I started intense birth control treatments for my fucked up reproductive system and she was like, "you can still adopt"

    Yeeted my uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes just before my bday this summer and threw a fuckin party afterwards because now there is absolutely no way I can ever be a parent AND my reproductive system can't do whatever the fuck it wants cause it doesn't exist!

    My mom finally accepted that this part of the family tree has ended after that. This while process happened over 18 years. I started telling her I didn't wanna be a parent when I was TEN.

    Edit: I should prolly say that my mom isn't a boomer, but Gen X. She's surrounded constantly by boomers and other members of Gen X who act like boomers so she has picked up a lot of the traits. Practically demanding grandchildren was the worst boomer thing she's done so far, and I hope it stays that way.

  • Stared switching my cats to a new food and got this great shot of Pixel being disgusted and angry

  • Clawing me is too much effort. She's lazy. She also doesn't really interact with me too much. She's just kinda there. She ADORES my mom though lol
