I was literally just thinking about you yesterday and thinking that I should hit you up on Messenger to see how you're doing. I swear to god sometimes I wonder if the Force really exists and the Internet is a manifestation of it (as in, you updating LJ created a disturbance in the Force and that prompted my brain to think about you).
Anyway, this is a great username and I'm glad you're hanging in there despite the combination of global, political, and personal Apocalypses! Man, 2020. Is there nothing it can't fuck up?
Hey. Yeah, sorry, I dropped you on Facebook, probably for Bernie Sanders apologism or something like that. I received a lot of abuse this election cycle and dropped literally everyone in my facebook, including family members, who apologized for him in any way. His politics are fundamentally racist and his supporters are misogynists, and I got to be basically done.
But thanks for thinking of me. My life is nonstop hell, but aside from living in America's COVID hotspot, I don't have the virus (yet). I'm back on chemo, though, and I fully expect not to survive the year.
I hope you and yours are well. Couldn't have picked a better time to move to NZ.
Ha, I didn't even notice, because the algorithm only shows me like the same 5 people over and over again anyway and even then I somehow miss the most important posts....anyway, definitely no hard feelings, you have to curate your social feeds however is best for your own mental health. I have a bunch of people I actually like permanently hidden so I never have to see their political posts.
I doubt I posted anything in support of Bernie or his fetid cult, but I'm not the hugest Biden fan so I might have lost you there. Anyway it doesn't matter. I think of you often, especially every time I say "What a crap" (which is like every 5 minutes in 2020), and will always do so with admiration.
I'm so sorry life is so bleak right now, and though I have my fingers firmly crossed for you that it will get better, I understand that it's not especially helpful to say so and that the prospects don't realistically look too positive. I'm hoping against hope that we get some small signs of improvement in November at least.
I don't remember what it was, honestly. Maybe it was equating Bernie and Biden? I don't know. The endless harassment I received from the Bernie camp this cycle was really awful over on tumblr. I have anons turned up and no lie, someone(s) must have made over a hundred accounts to harass me in extremely personal ways. Plus Bernie's embrace of decrying "identity politics" after learning where it comes from with the theories of Adolf Reed really, really disgusted me. Like, I do wonder how many Bernie voters are out there marching for BLM know that Bernie fundamentally finds BLM and the antiracism movement to be "neoliberalism" and wrong. As for Biden, he wasn't even my fifth or sixth choice, but I think Tara Reade is a total scammer, the Janice Soprano of politics, and I believe firmly he will choose a stellar cabinet. And you know, my "identity politics" loving ass is really excited to see a woman as VP

Big (but gentle) hugs to you!

I still post on ontd and didn't want any part of Brandon fucking Stroud attached to me, so yeah. Boughta rename token I couldn't afford.
Hope the pain level isn't so bad these days. I got 120 percocet after chewing out my doctor! I think he must like 'em aggressive.
