In the past messaging on this has been so poor on this topic. To the point where people don’t even really understand how common a medical abortion is, or that they’re now essentially illegal, risk factors from being denied care due to these laws, etc. They’ve let the gop take the baby killer ball and run with it for years. So now we’ve got a lot of ground to make up educationally…are bare minimum. And I think once we get to that place support will be near universal.
I don’t give my money to anyone, usually. Except specifically some nader chasers I’ve
followed for years. They’re out there losing windshields for my enjoyment. That’s it tho.
I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying “woke”, “critical race theory”, ““grooming””, and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open....
Just in my observation, people who lean more liberal are more emotionally regulated. If there’s anything to “hate” it’s ideas. Now, as a person I’m wary of conservatives because of those ideas. Whether it’s due to poor judgement or some other reason, if someone embraces social conservative ideas, I cannot tolerate them in my social circle.
I pop into the metalcore and women’s subs and that’s about it. The niche community/shared experience is still a net positive in those two places. I peeked into the main subs once a while ago, and I can’t tell if it’s worse or if it was always that bad. Lemmy is nice. After Reddit though, I have limited overall social media. Feels better, honestly.
I don’t know if others are experiencing a similar situation. My all feed is very sparse with engagement. If I sort top six hours or by top 12 most posts have between 5-10 comments. I feel like there was more in the past? Is engagement dropping off? I’m on lemmy.world as my instance.
I’ve posted here a lot about my mental health, I lost basically everything, I have no one I can talk to, my car is wrecked, I have less than 100 bucks in my bank account, while I have housing their are problems that make it not the best. I have 1k in debt....
Hun. I’m not trying to minimize your pain, fears, or experience. But unless someone is chasing you with a baseball bat for that money, deprioritize it. I wish I could give you the biggest hug. Im so sorry that so much pain and difficulty is happening to you and life has backed you into this corner right now. Please keep going. Feel free to send a DM.

Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can’t afford for professionals and don’t want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor’s prescription?
Long ago when I lived in Florida there was a lady who shot her husband for eating the last fried pork chop. I tried to find it online but there are a variety of similar stories and it was before everything was online.
I certainly have stoped buying a lot of things. Skipping our vacation this year as well. I’m never gonna spend $8 on a box of cereal, they can get fucked on that price point. Buying more in bulk at Costco. I already didn’t use Amazon.

I don’t think I need to be fair to these folks who have neither a worry or a care of the consequences of their actions. However, it is already more than generous to mock someone who makes a healthcare decision en masse based upon the stated reasons. Mocking ridiculous statements is the minimum. And honestly, we already know how the exceptions are playing out in states with 6-week bans. How would you like to be on deaths door before reviving care because biology wasn’t your side? Or just allowed to die because you lack the resources to flee reprehensible policy? Yeah, I was already being overly generous. Thank you though.
West Virginia’s Republican-controlled House of Delegates voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to allow teachers and other school staff who undergo training to carry guns in K-12 public schools....
Yeah there’s no place for a gun in a school. Even on the best days staff are all over the place. It’s a bit of organized chaos, ya know. And some schools are really small. So if someone comes in the front door your chances of getting to safer spot are slim. My last one was literally a hallway and booking it out the back door was our crisis plan (like I said, death trap).
