I’m having a political crisis where I know everything is getting worse but most leftists online (I know) are seemingly acting like flat earthers (dogmatic belief of historical determinism to a absurd degree) and spoiled nihilists, ie “fuck yours, got mine”

Any advice how to cope?

being hypocritical here but I think you have to do some real life activism or mutual aid thing if you can manage it, I hear it’s supposed to make you care a lot less about this sort of thing

I am sick. I have always been sick. I was born sick.

I am Egill Walid Lulea. The third child of the Lulea family, the first to be hospital-bound since... forever! They diagnosed me with xeroderma pigmentosum when I was 2 because a toddler of Levantine descent shouldn't burn so bad under the sun he got cancer.

This isn't the first time I am staying at the hospital for extended periods of time. Although it has never happened they discovered in the middle of a routine check-up that I am more than certainly presenting stage IV melanoma skin cancer.

Which is

uh

Bad.

Like 15-20% survival.

They caught it rather early, meaning my chances are slightly higher, but hey. Kinda messed-up.

My parents and my brother know. Not my sisters though. Qamar is in the middle of her wedding's preparation and Dom is... Well. Domhildr. She will forever be my rockstar elder sister but she is struggling, not gonna lie.

At least she has Tyr, Oli and her new guy.

Well Sigismund is in her life for a couple of months now, so not so new.

Sigsteinn got discharged because they don't really know. Next appointment is next week. So I am alone in that chamber. Because apparently some patients can't stand not being able to see the sunlight. Sorry Karen but that's killing me!

I feel so fucking alone.

And bored.

Can you imagine? I've read the whole Comédie Humaine because time has gotten so long and thick and painful! I'm annoying the nurses about it. They find me funny. If I'm getting out of here alive, I'm marrying a nurse. Some are huge bitches but most of them are the sweetest.

I like the docs too.

My fav is Dr. Malchys. He started to treat me since I'm a boy so he grew on me. Sure, the man is strange, but he is always eager to help. He saved me more than once.

And I like to chat with him before chemo and all. Mum and dad like him too. Greatest oncologist we ever got. Too bad he isn't a specialist on whatever is going on with my brother but hey, he is just a man, not a wizard. He won't cure my XP but he makes it manageable. He will get me out of that cancer inch'Allah.

Dr. Malchys comes to visit from time to time. Always a pleasure to see him. Nice guy. Fun guy. We talk about books.

Man, I sure love that dude. To great men the sick are grateful, and Allah up above knows I am.

In a happier world

___

He pours us a huge tankard full of beer and I down it almost immediatly, sitting in one of those huge centaur sofas made for their equine bodies to lie. Ironically, those are also one of the most comfortable seats I have ever lied on. The inconvenient of being a bit too tall for human norms.

A little laugh erupts from his old throat, hoarse yet somehow warm.

"Don't go rolling on the table now, Tyrfing."

I put down my beer and looks at Polypheme, general of the Estnothi army, in the eyes. It's been years now since we returned from that odyssey, I've picked up my slack and started investing myself more in the army, meaning that I am now captain of a warship, adding to one of his Majesty's advisors.

Those new duties means I am often away from home. It also means I can, in the pretext of diplomatic missions, sit down and visit some old friends.

It doesn't mean those old friends feel comfortable enough to use the nickname I keep only for my favorite people, ans I won't say to him he can. He's an old man, after all. Hard to shaken up his habits, eh ?

I just smile.

"Come on, you're the one that got older. I'm sure I can still beat you."

"Wow. Incredible. Sass, and I didn't even need to slip ambrosia in your drink."

"Incredible, eh ?"

He downs his own beer even faster than me.

"Incredible, but not very efficient. You only beat me then because I took emetics, you greenhorn."

"I'd like to see you try again. I've gotten a better grasp of my regeneration, even if I'm pretty sure I won't even need that, old fossil."

Polypheme puts down his drink and stares at me with unreadable eyes. Before bursting out laughing.

"Damn, the sailor life sure suits you. You got a dirtier mouth than any marine creature !"

"Says who ? Also, I wouldn't say no to another beer."

Polypheme rolls his eyes and pours us another drink before lying down again.

"Alright, enough chattering. Hos'w it going at the Coast ? We already got news from Chiron and Leto, but I'm curious."

And you want to hear it from me, eh, old man. Bah. Not like I will make it obvious.

"Eh, same old, same old. I'm preparing for this year's Tournament for Glory, got a few slaves merchant to send at the bottom of the sea, and the beloved are talking about having more children. You ?"

"Nothing much, nothing much. A few riots to neutralize, some villages in Estnoth's frontier being a bit difficult, and oh, the next games to prepare. Chiron wants to step down but there is still too much work to do."

We drink our second beer in a flash before Polypheme gets out the dwarf vodka. Guess the time of the light alcohols are over, eh ? Suits me. I'm still a heavy drinker, at least something I can beat Kaizarz in. And Polypheme is a worthy opponent.

Our battle may have been legendary, once, or just an anecdote of the centauric games year one after te death of the Tyrant. Today it's just some words exchanged between friends that discovered a newfound respect among fights and heavy talks.

since it’s a scary time to be trans: refuge restrooms is an app which maps gender-neutral/single-stall restrooms. it’s community-mapped, so it’s possible you might be the first person to log the restroom locations, but hopefully it’ll help some people.

please reblog this post if you’ve got trans followers. stay safe.

timeline:

- Trump signs unpopular order banning TikTok for being Chinese

- Democrats support the ban because people are supporting a ceasefire on TikTok

- Netanyahu sides with Trump despite Biden’s ass kissing and collaborates with him to delay ceasefire talks

- Dems lose in a landslide because of their deeply unpopular positions

- Trump takes credit for the ceasefire and for TikTok getting unbanned

ive found that partially treated mental illness can sometimes look to uninvolved onlookers like faked mental illness.

Just in case any of you are confused, TikTok being banned and coming back not even 24 hours later with a giant "we thank President Trump" message is NOT a win. It's a huge red flag and a sign that this was a thousand percent planned.

Reminder for when he “saves” it. He was the one who wanted this, and now he gets to be the hero and win favour with young constituents. Don’t give him the credit for fixing his own problem.
