NEW FURSONA!
Everyone, say hello to Chip. He is a grey bobcat.
Look at this adorable bean. They're literally me.
This was drawn by @artkett1412.bsky.social. They did an amazing job at making something I vibe with. Please give them a follow! They deserve every bit of support. Check their Ko-Fi too.

Had a brief live music stream today. Hopefully I can make this more frequent and play some more songs that I have actually had time to practice. Or maybe I'll just do what I did today and just have 100% reverb and occasionally a fuzz.

"You have such a limited time in life and you will never get any time you waste back. Are you sure you want to squander it by spending time with me when you have so many other better friends?"
Immediately followed by,
"Why do I feel like I'm just gonna end up alone?"
I'm just doing this to myself.

I have such an immense fear of abandonment. But, at the same time I have a hard time socializing and reaching out. I have such a hard time being the first one to send a message to someone. And when someone talks to me first, I just get like, "No. Don't waste your time on me. I'm not worth it."

Plastic Cyborg (Yinzer Bobcat) 🚲🚆🚸 @plasticcyborg.bsky.social · 1d

And then I start to isolate myself and feel too afraid to talk to any of my friends because I worry that they just find me hard to deal with. But, the moment someone does reach out, I get all nervous because I don't want to screw up and ruin our friendship. Why do I worry so much like this?

Plastic Cyborg (Yinzer Bobcat) 🚲🚆🚸 @plasticcyborg.bsky.social · 1d

And it gets to a point where I feel like, what if it was better if I didn't try to just be friends with everyone? I'm going to disappoint so many people. What if they think I'm prioritizing one friend over another? What if they think I'm just an annoyance to be around? Or even worse, a burden.

Plastic Cyborg (Yinzer Bobcat) 🚲🚆🚸 @plasticcyborg.bsky.social · 1d

I don't know how to process all of these feelings where I worry about people I care about thinking negatively about me or having constant fear of abandonment. I don't have insurance that covers therapy at the moment, so I can't even talk to a therapist about this. I just live with these feelings.

Plastic Cyborg (Yinzer Bobcat) 🚲🚆🚸 @plasticcyborg.bsky.social · 1d

And then I start to worry that if I don't keep in contact or socialize enough with some of my old friends that they will just forget me some day. Or if I don't show up for some people that they will feel like I'm just used them for follows. And then I get swamped with feelings of guilt and anxiety.

Plastic Cyborg (Yinzer Bobcat) 🚲🚆🚸 @plasticcyborg.bsky.social · 1d

Like, I have made a lot of friends recently through doing Twitch streams. And while I love them and want to support them, I feel like I'm pushing myself to much to try and be there for as many people as possible and I start to get overwhelmed and I worry if I'm being a bad friend or something.

Plastic Cyborg (Yinzer Bobcat) 🚲🚆🚸 @plasticcyborg.bsky.social · 1d

Do any other autism+ADHDers ever get anxiety from feeling like they're overbooking themselves with how many people they want to be friends with and support? I get immense feelings of anxiety and guilt when I realize I haven't been socializing or supporting any friends I haven't talked to in a while.

Btw, this pizza place has become one of my favorite pizzas in Pittsburgh. Go try Badamo's in Dormont. Get a pizza and some pepperoni rolls.

Plastic Cyborg (Yinzer Bobcat) 🚲🚆🚸 @plasticcyborg.bsky.social · 2d

My first time getting free stuff was at a pizza place. I started by asking if I could buy a water bottle and they said I could just have it. Then while waiting for someone's order, I decided to try a pepperoni roll, and they gave me 2 pepperoni rolls and a slice of pizza.

Tonight, a manager at a McDonald's said I was being so nice and patient with them, unlike other Doordashers. So she offered me a free McFlurry. I asked if I could come back for it after my delivery. I came back, and she made it for me as soon as I got back. Getting free shit rules.

Plastic Cyborg (Yinzer Bobcat) 🚲🚆🚸 @plasticcyborg.bsky.social · 2d

Second time was when someone cancelled their order as I was picking it up. I walked back in with the food and told them the order was cancelled by the customer, and they said I could have it because I was nice to them. So I got a free 3 piece tender meal from Cane's.

Plastic Cyborg (Yinzer Bobcat) 🚲🚆🚸 @plasticcyborg.bsky.social · 2d

The one that gave me free stuff tonight literally said, "It's because the Doordashers in a rush are no different than rude customers that are in a rush." And I can kinda see that. I've seen other dashers unassign their orders even if it's only a 5 minute wait.

Plastic Cyborg (Yinzer Bobcat) 🚲🚆🚸 @plasticcyborg.bsky.social · 2d

This has been the third time I've been given free stuff as a Doordasher, just for being nice. The people that have given me stuff tell me I'm much nicer than any other Doordash driver they've ever met and that every other dasher is incredibly rude. Like??? Is it that hard to be nice?

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

We all knew it was never about the porn. But if your normie bros wanna keep torrenting their marble and star worms they're gonna have to actually take the gooners seriously for once.

Mike Stabile @mikestabile.bsky.social · 4d

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Imagine being so triggered by seeing someone eat a fajita. Is this implying that foreign foods are going to be the downfall of white supremacy? Because it is as simple as that, then I'm all for it. Bring more meat-on-flatbread places to our cities. What is white food anyway? Bovril on whole wheat?

setting aside the fact that they just don’t know what jokes are, this gives a big insight into the mind of white nationalists. they are deeply paranoid about the idea of being percieved as anything other than Epic Stoics
