I want to start being more active for my union, FNV. I want to go to more events they organise, and I'm going to ask working class friends and family around me if they want to join. Since my party BIJ1 doesn't really work that much with the unions I'll have to do it myself.
While I don't make much money and can't afford to move out, I sometimes still feel guilt for not coming from a very poor background, even if my family isn't that rich, because then I tell myself that I can't be a true socialist. Does anybody else feel something similar?
I feel this way because my parents have a middle class income and they own their own house. My dad is a lower manager in healthcare, what is the marxist vision on that type of work? My mom also works in healthcare but as a worker.
I downloaded a no recommendations browser extension for YouTube, I should have done that sooner. Final reason is clicking on an anti-SJW video that had a title that sounded slightly leftist.
Anticommunists give Soviet urban planning a lot of shit, but with regular maintenance they seem to be great places to live. Sturdy houses with lots of green, walkable, social services, stores and recreation nearby and great public transport connections. In my city they just build new neighborhoods without including anemities and public transport options
I'm trans and my anti-androgen ran out a week ago and today my new package arrived. But when I opened it it was empty and there was a note from border control. Fuck them for taking my essential life saving medicine. This has made me feel so bad and terrible, I don't want to turn back into a man. I've been crying a lot. I thought it finally arrived but they only deceived me which made me feel even worse.
Luckily I'm still on estrogen as well, but it's starting to run out as well. I really need to only use services from inside the EU but the one I usually use is out of stock. I found another one, but they only use credit cards which I don't have. Hopefully I can convince my parents or some friends to pay it for me and me paying it back to them.
There's a lot of new houses being built in my city, with some entire neighborhoods being built. It's very exciting, until I realise that I and a lot of other people can't afford it and a lot of those new houses will go to rich people from outside the city and expats. And people from this city can't find a home and have to move to smaller cities with less opportunities.
Went to a psychologist for a second opinion for starting my trans care last week. He approved it, so that's nice but he also made me really self conscious about the way I talked. He noticed that I talk with a slightly crooked mouth. He asked why, and insinuated it's medical. I said that's it's because of my autism and it only happens when I'm nervous. He also asked if I'm sure it's not a by-effect of my DIY medication, to which I replied that I had it my whole life. He then shared a story of an older woman who had the same her whole life, and that she also said that it's not medical, and that he made her question if it was medical.
He was nice the whole interview and then he pulls this shit. Now I keep focussing on my mouth when I talk and I notice that I want to avoid conversations more often.
He's from Antwerp
