I'm gone.
For *some* of us...
There is no safe harbor.
There is no "belonging."
There is no squad, community, tent, or 'in-group'.
There is no inclusion, welcome, kinship, or "fam."
Being iconoclastic is a desert. Where an oasis once might've been stumbled upon haphazardly, now... only mirages.

"....one (1) non-shitty corner of the internet where we can be ourselves."
Yeeeeahhh, but I think that's *the* ("social" networking/platform) canard -- cause no such corner can/will exist.
This sure as shit ain't it or close... and *not* due to the reasons, in my case, that one might assume.

Reminder that "punishable by fine" means "legal for rich folks."
NEW YORK (AP) — Judge fines Donald Trump $5K but won’t hold him in contempt after post disparaging court clerk lingered on campaign site.

This is sagacious.
Also, following this guideline means that "my people" haven't apparently existed -- At. All. -- since, oohhh... probably 2011-2013ish.
No, that isn't in the least an exaggeration. One tends to notice such a thing.
If you believe *you* have things bad -- YOU >>DON'T<<.

It seems like a lot of the problems people are facing right now are being caused by the fact that a few people are insisting they personally should become not just filthy rich but offensively rich. Billionaires are a choice, and one we should all unmake.

Interesting read, in a first scientists were able to give "cognitive memory impairment" symptoms to mice through gut microbes found in Alzheimer's patients. Could be a huge step forward in diagnosing and treating early stage Alzheimer's.

I've been the recipient of multiple bully/abusers over the course of my years.
People aren't likely to exactly like it - I know I sure don't/didn't - but the *only* thing that ever made them stop was:
Vicious, unrelenting, and BRUTAL violent retribution & disproportionate self-defense.
No joke.

It's no fun to be a bully without the people to bully, otherwise you might be the one the other bullies turn on
