there's not, but I found it in my browser history: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies

the news is still available quickly, though?

it's just analysis that is lagging somewhat because some of the news is contradictory and some of it is certainly propaganda, but considering the quality of analysis available here versus in a newspaper, the delay seems totally worth it.

the quality of analysis available anywhere instantly is going to be poorer in comparison – good analysis takes a moment. we owe it to ourselves and each other to not jump to conclusions, especially considering our comrades for whom this is much more than just news.

your mom sounds cool af and I would love to go skating with her ❤️

I got involved in local democratic politics, another huge mistake I've discussed here multiple times. It only became a problem when I started winning elections. I voted to defund the police and the sheriff himself screamed in my face, three feet away from me. I started thinking that my family was in danger and that no one would stand up for us or protect us here. The police would run me off the road one late night, there would be an article in the paper about it, and that would have been the end of me. What would I have achieved, except making my kids fatherless? So I quit.

this is the reason I haven't personally gotten involved in local politics, even though I live in a deeply blue part of Ohio. that shit is scary, I grew up around those people, they fucking terrify me and I am not popular enough to feel safe in this small town culture

any suggestions for posts of yours to read to learn about how this all went down for you?

and have hundreds of pages in a book I'm writing about going from white collar to blue collar work. It's still a bullshit job, just a different kind of bullshit.

I think this book would be very popular; I know my spouse would love to read it.

I would rather just work for myself, since that's where the big bucks are

one of the things I hate most about this alleged individualistic, bootstraps society is how fucking hard they make it for a person to go it alone – the obscure administrative requirements are a huge hurdle for most people.

your journey sounds relatable af, I really hope you write that book. ❤️

and I cannot handle responsibility I run in terror when it is given to me.

wish I had your good sense!! 😂 I accept it and then wither under the weight. truly wish I had your self-knowledge and foresight to just not

Different grocery store, I quit after a day because there was no real guidance on what to do that first day.

incredible. iconic. role model.

I have served as a union shop steward and sit on the health and safety committee.

INCREDIBLE. ICONIC. ROLE MODEL.

After ten years of steward thing I resigned from it, incredibly stressful role often having to see employees get fired for things they didn't realize was technically theft.

💔 that must have been really hard.

but turning a leisure outlet into work production is brutal and it felt like I could never turn off and enjoy life anymore.

fucking real talk about the commoditization of hobbies, it fucking sucks

I had a mortgage that I was often paying off by myself because my ex would get tired of their job and quit or work so badly until they fired them (so they wouldn't have to bother quitting which is funny but kind of rude to me), so during those 7 years I think I had maybe 3 weeks of vacation.

was your ex also neurodivergent or disabled? that also sounds really fucking hard, and reminds me of how much I lean on my partner for support and how tiring it must be for him.

your career path sounds like a Sims career path in the best way – like, you pick a track, and it seems a little unlikely, but it works out and suddenly you're a neuroscientist 🤯 I love it

also love that you have been a professional actor!! if you got paid for it, it was your profession, even if only part-time. cool as fuck!! neuroscientist-actor-comrade 🤩

how did you get into that line of work?
