Feeling encouraged to post more and lurk less. You all brought this upon yourself.

I've been following UKMT for years now, altough I did bounce off the thread during the Milliband years because it seemed just pages of arguing about Zizek from my limited exposure at the time. Over time thread has has helped me crystalize my political leanings from 'uncritcally votes labour (blair was good), gently caress the tories' to 'Full socialism now, purge the hated blarites and wreckers but especially gently caress the tories'. It also opened my eyes reading other peoples experiences with gender and identity itt and I got to say 'I am a homosexual' to my parents for the first time last night and I've never been happier.

Feeling positive and optimistic despite everything rn.

Added to the list of UKMT success stories. Be gay, do socialism, comrade!

When my friend came out to his parents his dad's old fashioned grasp of language ran straight into his modern & supportive attitude, resulting in a text that read "you know you never have to hide anything from me and your mum, we will always love you no matter what. It's up to you if you've decided you want to be a nonce - nothing to do with us!"

Got to say this legit terrifies me and I'm not even old, just cis. I want to be supportive of LGBTQ+ folks but I'm constantly worried my own ignorance will lead to me accidentally saying something hurtful.

Ugh I've had the shittest loving day. My wisdoom tooth still hurts and it's making the whole left side of my face sore. Even on painkillers I feel like I've been kicked in the loving jaw. And even though it hurt I went into work today cause I was covering the evening and if I wasn't there we'd have to cancel therapy sessions and then I had a really busy day having to deal with just the crappest stuff when all I wanted to do was chill. Then when I got home late I couldn't even relax cause my laptop froze up and needed an hour to fully restart and then when I tried to play some WoW the game kept locking up so I kept dying over and over on this really loving simple thing and it's just too loving much so I cried loads and loads and I just want a cuddle but I can't because it's always just me so I don't get cuddles. And this tooth hurts so loving much. Sorry for filling up the thread with poo poo but I don't really feel like I can just message my friends about this :/

Please respond with empathy rather than advice, not in the headspace to listen to the latter right now

I had 3 wisdom teeth out at the start of the year. I know how you're feeling. Getting the fuckers removed was *amazing* though. The second they're out it's like you've got a new face and all this energy you didn't have while they were wearing you down. You've that to look forward to! Take care.

Absolutely speechless at the idiocy of the piss diamonds. They've spent months saying they're the only ones for remain, that lab's policy is poo poo, and now... they're putting a harder brexit than corbyn will try for to a referendum.

Edit: ok she went from I'll never vote Labour under Corbyn to I'm going to read the manifestos and decide



In my experience this is code for 'I'll still vote (piss) tory but now I'm embarrassed about it' I've gotten it from quite a few sensibles who think the lib dems won't coalition with tories because they have learned from last time, and really they're Labour but without the leave tendency and antisemitism you see

Well, yes. I know that, my piss tory mates probably do too but they keep thinking one day they'll be rich cunts and want to landlord hard, or not pay for a tourist visa to take Little Olli and Hermionie skiing in the pyrenees. They just have enough self awareness to realise saying that makes them look bad while saying corbyn bad is more universally accepted.
