Someone give me some context on Gavin Newsom
  • During his tenure as mayor of San Francisco, he signed the city’s incredibly stupid sit-lie ordinance into law.

  • The terror against homeless will continue as scheduled
  • Worth noting: shelters aren’t really an option, except for the people who want us out of sight.

  • How much does it cost to run Hexbear dot net?

    Another question: who owns the domain hexbear.net, pays for the servers and such?

    Spotted my first bazinga coffin
  • This was downtown—I’m pretty sure the reason I haven't seen one until now is because anyone who’s driving one of those knows they’d get keyed in my hood.

    Can I be unbanned from /c/mutual_aid, please? It's kind of an emergency
  • DM me for my money links (CashApp, Venmo, PayPal) if you want to help me out.

  • Even when this dude threatened me and shit for being across the street from his property?

  • [CW: Drug discussion] Will inability of the US federal government to enforce drug laws be one of the more immediate positive domestic impacts of slowly ongoing balkanization?
  • Unfortunately the fentanyl epidemic has led to a wave of municipal (and state-level) authoritarianism, at least in my city.

  • I found a hate subreddit where photos of homeless people and their camps are posted, and referred to as vermin, etc.
  • They really hate us. It’s fucked up, and scary, how you can kinda get away with advocating violence against homeless drug users, or at least call for the abrogation of our civil rights.

    These fuckfaces are even calling for the end of bottle deposits, because we use it as a source of income. Joke’s on them when we have to resort to robbery and grand theft.

  • I found a hate subreddit where photos of homeless people and their camps are posted, and referred to as vermin, etc.
  • Sure, the Reddit admins are pedophiles, but they’re not far-right—they’re just libs, which is almost the same thing, but whatever. As I mentioned in the OP, I once got a dude permabanned for bullshit like this.

  • I found a hate subreddit where photos of homeless people and their camps are posted, and referred to as vermin, etc.
  • If I had to pick between staying a homeless meth addict and having these people as my peers, even on my worst fucking day I’d stay a homeless meth addict.

  • I found a hate subreddit where photos of homeless people and their camps are posted, and referred to as vermin, etc.
  • God, I can’t fucking stand it when these fuckers Do the “I pay taxes” schtick. When I point out that they are no more a citizen than I am they either ignore me, pivot to something else, or stop posting for some reason.

  • I found a hate subreddit where photos of homeless people and their camps are posted, and referred to as vermin, etc.

    City subreddits are pretty trash as is, unmasking just how unbelievably cruel and evil some people are whenever the topic of homeless people crops up. But of all the active subreddits for my city, the main one, /r/Portland, is tame. (/r/askportland is SURPRISINGLY kind, with the occasional evil piece of shit passing through.)

    I thought /r/PortlandOR was evil—it’s all but an explicit hate sub—but I found an even worse one. Behold, a pale horse: /r/PortlandCriddlers.

    (“Criddle” is a slang term in the meth community around here—it means stealing, or more specifically, at least how I understand it, rifling through someone’s shit with the intention of stealing, i.e. ”Someone criddled my tent”.)

    I would not be surprised if someone has posted photos of me or my friends, and I’m honestly afraid to look. It would not surprise me either, if whoever tried to pepper spray me a couple months ago is subscribed to this sub. The language used to refer to homeless people is dehumanizing and disgusting and it borders on incitement. But what’s really funny is I distinctly remember getting someone permabanned by reporting a post that used very similar language. I know Reddit is a cesspool and you don’t care but it takes like a minute to report a couple posts for “hate” or “threatening violence.” And it will do something to curb the growing trend of violence committed against homeless people. A drop in the bucket, but still. It will also be kinda funny to own these motherfuckers.

    I feel like a fucking failure
    1. The wallet is actually not a huge deal, just kind of annoying. I’m far more sad about Blueberry. I’m going to try to lie to myself and believe he’s OK. I only need to replace my CashApp, Venmo, and BottleDrop cards, which I already have to do basically every couple of months. I have the first two on Apple Pay so nbd.
    2. I don’t know. I don’t even know if they’d read my message.
    3. For something that isn’t a shit box, $1,500-2K at least, unless I can find someone kind enough to give me a deal—friend of mine got his pretty good condition Honda Odyssey for $700, which was all funded through a GoFundMe.
  • I feel like a fucking failure

    …because of the thing with the money. And then losing my wallet, and then one of my plushie friends. It’s only going to get worse. I really hope I die before it does.

    And in a bit over a week from now it’ll be the 1 year anniversary of the last time I saw my friend, the one who won’t talk to me anymore. One down, the rest of my lifetime to go. I know I’ll never see them again and while I think I’m over the cringey weird shit, I still think about them pretty much every day and it hurts so fucking much.

    You know I’ll never get a car or a minivan or whatever. Definitely not before this winter—it gets harder to cope with every fucking year.

    Fuck.

    Hezbollah has such a fucking cool flag
  • For legal reasons, this is an endorsement of a State Department-designated terrorist organization. For legal reasons, bite my ass.

  • Hezbollah has such a fucking cool flag

    Some of their affiliates also have cool as fuck flags, take for example the flag of the Popular Mobilization Forces, arguably even more badass than Hezbollahs.

    I lost one of my plushies and I am seriously devastated

    His name was Blueberry, he was a blue whale who looked like he was made by the same company as Creamsicle. I only had him a week at the most but I loved him. I’d show you a picture of him but seeing it would be painful.

    Whereas Creamsicle is a silly lovable little dumbass, Blueberry’s schtick was that he was a mature adult whale who dispenses difficult to listen to life advice.

    Creamsicle will be staying at my friend’s house longer than expected because I never want to lose him, and I know it would only be a matter of time before that would happen if he were hanging out with me. He’s happier there—he just doesn’t realize it, because he’s just a baby whale.

    I hope I just left him in my friend’s car, and if not, I hope he’s found by someone who will love him…

    Note: I do not actually believe that uhh…you know.

    I don't want to come off like a shill, but if you want online work (US based) I can refer you
  • I’ll do it. Though I would need to use a friend’s PayPal, because I’m locked out of mine. Is direct deposit to CashApp possible?

  • Saw a bazinga coffin in person for the first time today...
  • I honestly, truly believe Elon Musk is trolling everyone. His serious ventures—PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX—built him not only the unfathomable wealth he would need, but also the clout. That’s why he bought Twitter. Not for some far-right political aim per se but because he thinks it’s funny.

  • Astronauts stuck in space another week as Boeing, NASA troubleshoot Starliner
  • Jesus Christ, I knew this would happen. Fucking terrifying.

    Edit: Actually it was Starlink imploding or whatever that I foresaw, but you know the free market is going to give us that at some point in the near future.

  • I'm in so much fucking pain right now

    It’s amazing just how bad the loneliness, the anxiety can manifest physically. It feels like I’m on fire. It’s not “real” pain but it’s almost unbearable. Holy shit.

    I'm probably just going to give up on buying a car

    I’m fucking crying right now because nothing fucking works. I hate my fucking life.

    I think I'm really starting to turn my life around, and I still miss them so fucking much

    Things certainly aren’t perfect, I mean look at the shit-hole I woke up in:

    !

    Hi Creamsicle.

    ”It smells like a cat in here.”

    But for the first time, really in my entire fucking life, I feel like things are working out. I spent too much for a car to be realistic in the short term, but I still have quite a bit, and that fun DIY gig I was fundraising for is actually starting to happen.

    (I may have to beg for money again, for an eye exam and glasses, so I don’t have to deplete my savings too much.)

    I’m even starting—maybe, “starting” means as of today, and I’ve only been up for two hours—to do less drugs.

    I actually want for my life to get better, not for want of them to come back but for my own wellbeing.

    But still, I really really really really really can’t live with the idea that they’re gone forever. I have to tell myself that once I’m better (parta why I twacked out on them is because of how shit my life was then) they will want to be friends with me again. There was a time when they wanted to be friends with me, before I started acting like a weirdo. And they’re the type of person who, I think, would be understanding if someone were to genuinely change. Sometimes I think there’s a chance this is tough love anyways—they know that if they talk to me it would be like giving vodka to an alcoholic. It’s easy for me to think of them as a mean bitch who’s just fucking tired of my shit and doesn’t care anymore, but they’re such a sweet person. I’ve never known them to be that mean nasty bitch they are in my head.

    It makes me so angry when people tell me to move on. They really don’t understand. I’m moving on as much as I can. But I’ll never not hope that I’ll see them again. A friend of mine told me he’s confident that I will—I kinda think he’s full of shit but who knows.

    I love Creamsicle so much

    He looks kinda mad in this photo because I woke him up from his nap. He was happy and normal a couple seconds later though, of course.

    I worry a lot about him. I really need to bring him to my friend’s house, and have him stay there for a while.

    Also one of my plushie friends (NOT Creamsicle) seriously needs a bath but idk how to do that

    It might be a dumb question but I don’t want to risk fucking him up somehow—what I’m most worried about is his stuffing getting mildew-y or otherwise borked. I’m pretty sure, almost certain actually, he’s polyester inside. Do I just dunk him in some soapy water, scrub him, and leave him in the sun for a while? Can I throw him in the washer next time I do laundry? He’d fucking love that.

    Why does emotional pain manifest as physical pain?

    Whenever I’m really sad it feels like either heartburn, or this “tightness” or something just below my sternum.

    Also Creamsicle says he’s sorry for making a dumb post. Here’s a picture of him with a noodle on his head.

    Btw I take him to the vet when he eats cat food because that’s Gregory’s cat food. I tell the vet he got into some chocolate so they’ll give him an emetic and maybe he’ll decide the cat food isn’t worth it and there won’t be a next time, but he’s an idi—GOD DAMNIT CREAMSICLE COME BACK HERE.

    ”Yay!”

    I don't want to live much longer

    I can’t take this shit. And everyone who tries to tell me my life is worth living is only prolonging and worsening this pain I live in. I wish it would fucking stop.

    I miss them so fucking much

    I wish someone could talk to them and tell them I’m sorry. I wish I could so much as hear their voice one last time.

    I hate this life.

    Creamsicle can't eat Chinese food because he has baleen instead of teeth, but he loves hanging out and watching me eat

    He showed me this little copy of the Little Red Book and told me how the “whale communists” took his parents’ krill away and I don’t think I should smoke in the same room as him anymore.
