I've Just Written The Introduction And The "Why Are We Even Having This Conversation?" Part Of My Argumentative

One thing I've been struggling with is accepting the fact that I am not my 16 y/o self anymore

It sounds silly, I know it does, but somehow I still find myself missing, yearning for the things I found interesting at 16, the things that brought me joy, that kept me going and find that they no longer serve that role

The music and the fandom surrounding it don't excite me anymore, the game I adored has been untouched for months with no future plans, the clothes I couldn't wait to get off the clothesline sit collecting dust at the bottom of a drawer

I listen to different music, found new games and thrifted new clothes but every time I open my playlist, every time look up my walls to see posters, every time I pull out that drawer, I'm reminded of different times and somehow get this bitter taste in my mouth

I want to be mad at the artist or the fandom, I want to be mad at the game developer or the brand that made the clothes, but I simply cannot

Yes, those things changed but that's not the problem, or rather, it's not that they changed, it's that I've changed

I've grown out of things and in times like this, in times of uncertainty, I just wish I could shrink back down

But I can't, so we must move on

what’s it called when you’re so disconnected from reality that cold water doesn’t feel like anything and you can barely taste food anymore

To elaborate on this one: it really hurts my pride that I am no longer considered smart when it comes to academics, since uni level is LEAGUES ahead of the ~academicness~ I grew up in, but ah well, I'm, the little simple creature, will get the same degree as these smart people and I think I have less hatred in my heart then them

Maybe I am a simple being. But, consider, maybe being simple isn't all that bad. Maybe, just maybe, being intelligent isn't all that fun. Just a thought.

EU: illiberal mini-Putin in Hungary using the reactionary momentum for rollback of civil rights, LGBTIQ rights, women's rights, intersex rights, and rainbow families

Hungary's clampdown on Pride march sparks backlash

The Orbán administration has said that the country 'should not tolerate' the public event this year.

Constitutional reform in Hungary passed earlier by illiberal government. Veering further and further from checks on their authoritarian control of party structures, institutions, etc, these hypocritical right-populists, in Putin's pockets, believe women should also earn less than men.

Adoptions by same-sex couples were already banned I think, and women will now also have little protections from traditionalists who see them only as stay-at-home mothers- because the constitution adds bioessentialist language.

If this continues, Hungary should have no influence in European politics, and there are devices. And the same thing could have happened in Romania, happened in Poland, for a shorter while. European core values are threatened by people who don't respect freedom and human rights.

As Budapest Pride said- there was pride, there is pride, and there will be pride. Queer rights are human rights, now, and always.

we need to ban the word hyperfixation okay... you have a HOBBY you have an INTEREST

I am completely and utterly heartbroken over the fact that in 2025, in a country that is part of the European Union, our parlament voted to ban Pride. 136 to 27. Overwhelming majority. Absolutely disgusting.

You can't silence us. We won't allow it.

nothing that a haircut and a wardrobe update and a detox and a sex change and a fake ID and getting medicated and selling all my stuff and faking my death and moving country can't fix
