  • tbh I stopped drinking recently and I found i got a lot of mileage out of replacing it with yummy things that helped trick my reptile brain

    the monkey clapping cymbals in my head thinks that a non alcoholic beer is a beer, and it thinks a nice soda water w/ bitters is a cocktail

    I take some drug store sleepy meds before bed since I had similar feelings you do re: insomnia / ‘i need to drink to sleep’

    I find the combination of tasty fake alcoholic treats + things that accomplish what my body is concerned about creates enough of a placebo for me personally.




  • 40 days sober

    electrolysis clinic booked to max. ill unionize against myself when I move offices, but for now the boss wants 12 hour days

    expanding to a full time office soon, at which point ill have capacity to do multiple days a month pro bono work for a local drop-in centre for LGBTQ folks

    training an apprentice, when they’re ready we will convert the business to a workers co-op and bring on another apprentice. im raising an army of based communist electrologists.

    lets fucking go





  • I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn’t a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.

    You can say I’m being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love pig poop balls and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn’t a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that’s laughable or pathetic. But for me, it’s true.
