//aint gonna get into details but I hope my North American friends end up okay, sending y'all my support from down here

[sae-something]

straight up terrifying shit is happening in this country (you might have seen/heard some news about the Amsterdam-events...) and I've been managing to kinda... breathe through it and find support with friends, but tonight it's just kind of breaking me. I feel so scared.

I think it's the combination of two things today. first some very dear friends losing their insurance coverage for therapy because of some shocking news about the 2025 health insurances (my therapy with A is safe, thankfully, though that is up in the air every year again, for 2025 I'm good).

and then I just saw something one of our current government parties (VVD) posted on twitter and it's just... it's horrifying. they propose "taking away the dutch nationality after antisemitic sentiments" (meaning they just want to kick people out of the country), for instance. and at the rate things are going, I think in just a few more weeks they will consider it antisemitic to even wear a pin of the palestinian flag. they're are full on embracing the anti-islam rhetoric. anti-refugee. anti-humanity.

I am terrified. I don't know what to do. I am crying for all the people I know who are suddenly losing their therapy (or having to pay thousands of € per year). I think part of it is the terror of losing A, and I'm just repeating to myself that that's not happening. I'm one of the few lucky ones.

I'm scared. I don't know what to do.

[Alright I'm fucking

Fucking

Im see so many posts about not killing ourselves but for WHAT? To fucking just live knowing half the fucking country wants us dead? To just be forced to live in that knowledge? And if you ask why you should keep living they just say live out of spite? What if I'm SICK of living out of spite? I've made it to 31 years old living out of spite and that's not a good enough fucking REASON any more. For the future? What fucking future? The future of seeing all my rights stripped away so much faster than we gained them? I don't have a fucking future. I'm 31, college dropout, autistic and cant work in most fields and the only one I can work in its too fucking late because I don't have experience or education and people 10 years younger than me with both of those things in spades are giving up on this field because they can't make it either so where does that fucking leave me?

Dont know if I'll ever be able to fucking write again. It's been so long and I was never good at it to begin with and ever since I read that news at 530 this fucking morning my brain has just been fuckijg empty. My soul just feels dead. Sure 8 have anger and despair and sadness and tears but underneath it all i feel fucking dead inside and once these emotions fade away when I get alcohol tonight, I fear that's all that will be left and I don't know what to do with it. My soul really just feels gucking dead. It's taken too many blows and I don't know if I can recover even if things don't end with my existence being illegal.

And sure i won't act on any of these thoughts. I never will. I'm too scared of death, too scared that there's nothing after this and I'll never see my loved ones that I've lost again. But even if I won't act on any of it I still just...what do I do now? Just lay in bed and sleep until my body gives out? Until they wanna round up queer people and I'm just another body on the pile?

I really just don't know anymore.]

[heartsbreaking]

the fact that i still have to "go to class" and "be present" and "do a presentation" is fucking bullshit

i promise i'm safe and won't be going anywhere near the centers of government for a while

if anyone has any recent entertainment news i have to do a presentation in my producing class on an article and i forgot to find one

The horrors persist, but we stay silly here (AKA I'll still be here for writing and chatting because Vale loves to be a distraction)! Stay strong, stay united, we cannot be dissolved by the powers of whatever is coming. We've got each other's backs, don't you forget that. They cannot take our humanity from us.

Do you think it is wise living in texas? Considering you are trans? Heavy Trump support there. Do many people know you are Ftm?

Anon I don't have a choice. If I could I'd genuinely be fleeing the fucking country right now. I'm half out half closeted, some people know some don't.

For folks a bit confused about what's happening politically this evening (Nov 5, 2024), i have made a very long, very bad video (https://youtu.be/RRGjTN3gs6s?si=EOK1jUc9ZFYw2abr)

or i shall ramble below:

There is a large group of people who have set themselves in a position of power who believes that all humans who do not hold to their belief system and guidelines are purely selfish with cruelty and are under the influence of evil demons. They believe that sometime probably soon those of us who don't hold to their beliefs will raise an evil dictator to power who will serve the devil and we will hunt, torture, and kill those who hold their belief system. They believe that after 7 years their god will send the devil, his demons, and all of us who don't believe and follow their belief system into a pit of eternal torture.

What's important is that they belief that the United States of America will be the city on the hill, the place from which they will hold their last stand against the evilness that will relatively soon turn from us doing our own thing over here to hunting them for sport.

Most white American Protestant Christians (especially from Protestant groups that formed in america) hold some form of this belief system.

In the last like 10 years this group has gone from being like 50%ish republican to 86%ish republican (pew research center. I go over it in the video).

This is a battle that has been strategically fought for at least the last 70 years. I was first told this was a culture war I was fighting on God's side before I was 10.

That is what is happening tonight.

gonna throw up

My mindset is effecting my productivity at work obviously, and while I didn't disclose why, my supervisor said to let her know if I can't work. I said I'd be alright, just very slow. But I think I'll just work half my shift today. Because my mind is blank, it's disassociating badly, and the fact that I'm suffering while my parents are cheering and I have to hide my emotions and thoughts or else they threaten w kicking me out if I have adverse opinions, is terrifying to me.

I'm in flight mode
