this was one of the funniest pictures i took in 2024. this squirrel was just being so funny this day. i watched them climb up into this old plant stand thing thinking they'd just stand on it or jump from it or whatever but then they settled in for quick little rest. i couldn't believe it. guess it was just nap time!
hey fedi, does anybody know anything about self defense/martial arts?
i want to start practicing one purely for practical purposes to be able to defend myself. suggestions?
i am not looking at flashy but impractical moves. i want something that can help me reliably knock someone tf out if i become a victim of bigoted violence. we also assume there are no rules and my attacker will try to fight me in the dirtiest possible way
any other tips also welcome
boosts ok

I swear, this guy is out here like "bonfire lit" while mom is reciting the brachot over her airpods from a YouTube Short.
food, annoying emasculation obsessions
It is really embarrassing watching cis guys get obsessed over veganism emasculating them and those around them. Whether they are vegan or are not, it is always there. Completely soaked in unpacked homophobia, misogyny, etc.
Juvenile concerns like thinking it is gay eating a banana without dicing it, "rabbit food" (describing literally any vegetable), protein fitness obsession that denies anything non-meat by dogma (that's gay), etc. Grow up, some of us learned to eat more than dino nuggets, ok?
And SHUT UP about health panacea bullshit that barely hides your sperm count insecurity. It is embarrassing!!! Vegans on that one too! Modern medicine has got ya covered more than dietary change ever will there, you can take some t-boys word for it 🙄
reflections on trusting colonizers
Europeans and USians lecturing the world on trust ought to reflect on what trust means to normal people outside of 'trusting trust'. As it turns out, for normal people trust and respect can allow amazing things to happen, no cryptography required. Never any reflections on why trust is earned or lost, just cryptographic paranoia due to a fundamental lack of social trust in the social context of an individualist free-for-all.

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
