you know what? funny you mention that - i likely just got below 100kg around this time last year :)
i’ve lost about 39 pounds since may 2024 i believe? 21 pounds since january 2025 i think, and 15 pounds since august after i lost my shit finding out i had gained some lost weight back and my a1c hadn’t budged at all even though i’ve been working my ass off to lose this weight
still have about 18 more pounds or so until i’m in overweight territory and as you can tell it has been sloooooooowwwww. i have a lot of major health issues and for most of this past decade no matter how hard ive tried ive only gotten sicker and sicker and sicker. this is the first year in years where i’ve finally seen more progress in my health rather than regress.
i also have an upcoming appointment to check for endometrial cancer as i have bled almost every single day this year since january 6th and my endometrial lining looks huge but doing a biopsy was pushed off all year because of my age, until the most recent ultrasound where it looked way worse and my doctor was like “haha fuck”. which i know with the weight loss it’s like “did i do this or am i just dying of cancer lmao”. but there have been certain very recent positive changes that, in my very unprofessional opinion, i wouldn’t expect to see if i had cancer / the cancer was getting worse. i hope it’s not cancer, but if it is, my mind and body are in a much better position now to handle potential cancer treatment than they were one year ago. it’s been a very significant year for me. i haven’t felt like i’ve had so many reasons to feel good about myself in a very, very long time.
unfortunately, i don’t know! wafrn does have hashtags so i would assume yes, but if sharkey can’t do it then i don’t think i understand what you mean and so i can’t give you a good answer.
@gabboman@gabboman.xyz, the OP of this post, would probably know, as he is the creator of wafrn!
edit: i also just realized he posted here from his wafrn account… i need to figure out how to do that
edit: okay i think i figured out how he did it… fascinating
Bold of you to assume I was keeping it to DMs and bold of you to assume my plan had anything to do with anything you mentioned.
Although maybe jumping to conclusions is your problem.
I can also tell you never read any of my comments besides the ones you thought you could respond with a “gotcha.” I already have a target on my back. I’ve had no choice but to be in the privacy game for years for my own survival. If you think being reliant on the government to stay alive doesn’t mean you have to walk on eggshells 24/7, you are extremely ignorant and not the leftist you might think you are.
i’d been trying to get into fedi social media for awhile but it wasn’t working. i love wafrn and i use it daily. the members are really friendly and silly too :)
it also connects to misskey, pixelfed, loops, gotosocial… just from the top of my head
i’m chronically suicidal, but during a particularly extra bad time in my life i asked multiple people just to check in on me daily to see if i was alive so that my cat wouldn’t starve or be without water. i didn’t have the energy to talk so i wasn’t asking for a conversation. just making sure i was alive.
i had an (obviously failed) attempt.
a week passed after that with no one checking in on me.
If you put the same energy you put into that defeatist attitude and writing that comment into problem-solving and bravery, maybe we’d have a solution.
I’ve tried to organize multiple things myself, the only issue I’ve had is no one ever actually does anything. Because Americans only like to complain and not actually do anything.
You aren’t scared enough.
I’m LGBT, severely disabled, the child of an immigrant if we’re really bringing that birthright stuff up, pretty radically left and have been TOO vocal about it, and probably on a list, and I don’t even know if I’ll be alive 1, 5, or 10 years from now. I don’t have much left to lose. Apparently most people do, or else they’d feel compelled to act.
