Being straight, pro gun, and a Trump voter. Trying to have a decent conversation with a furry and having any of those come up. Shit slinging and hypocrisy ensue. For a fandom that's about being open and accepting it doesn't apply to any of the aforementioned. I can't imagine if I was white on top of all of those.


The furry fandom celebrates diversity as long as you believe what they believe.  :)


Not that I like having political discussions.

Now to be fair, not everyone's like that. Although during the election I was on Twitter having a respectful argument with another fur. Zabu the Sergal (the YouTuber) saw and blocked me -_- I was like "WTF? Seriously?" Over a respectful debate. Needless to say, I don't have anything to do with him anymore

I've come to realize that people who say they're open-minded aren't. They're open-minded until you disagree with them generally. Same goes for people who champion diversity. They really aren't for diversity for the same reason mentioned about being open-minded. Of course this is just my observation. It obviously varies.

Just got a call from work. They need me there (which I can and will do) soon because a very good co worker's mother just had a stroke.

I'm pro gun but about as straight as a circle and supported The Donald because it was the only Punk thing to do. What am I supposed to do vote for the queen of illegitimate authority? XD

Could be worse. I got called in due to emergency yesterday on my off day, I work 6.5 hours today, we're closed tomorrow, I work 7 hours Friday, 7 hours Saturday, and 7 hours Sunday.

It could be worse, but that's not the point. 7 hours sounds rough, especially on a weekend.

Looks like my dad's old laptop is finally dying. It's not a surprise since he got it in 2005, and he's already had a new one for a while now, but I've been using it for writing and stuff while in bed. It lags quite a bit, but after doing some cleaning it runs a little smoother. Sometimes it can't load the programs list or open control panel options. I got Steam on it just fine, but when it starts updating the laptop blue-screens and reboots, so I uninstalled it.
Even for an X P computer, it's still very behind on updates -- can't fix that because Microsoft completely removed X P updates from their website apparently. I wonder if it would've run better if I had them. Or maybe doing so would kill it quicker at this point.

Oh well, not a huge loss once it kicks the bucket, but it's kinda sad.

Ah, Thanksgiving. Gonna be a great day, right? lol
Just as shitty as the rest of my life, and I'm getting so sick and tired of it. All of it. I mean, nothing is going good. NOTHING AT ALL. Every single area is imploding or exploding. Every where I turn I find another mountain. Even my mind. My final refuge can't stand much more assault before it collapses

Stressed, scared and tired of everything. Despite my best efforts and all the progress I've made, things keep going to hell. Ironically enough, -because- of all the progress I've made.

The flu' incubation period is almost always longer than that. My bet is you were exposed to it a few days ago

Terrified at the moment and it's hard to keep a grip on my anxiety. Especially with no one to talk to for the time being.

Currently riddled with anxiety, medication not helping and I just want to hide away. Surrounded by people who need me to look after them. Concentration at 2/10.

I just really don't want to look at food right now, but it's hard since if I don't eat now I won't go to the gym later, which will make me feel worse. Everything is just spinning out of control in my mind and my body after feeling like I've kept it together for so long.
