  • It’s uh, certainly going. Jokes aside, pretty okay. Got raised to $4.5/hr from $4.25 at my job so maybe I can stop working 7 days a week, or at least only work night instead of night and evening hours sometimes. Being a tutor is nice but paying off debts plus renting plus being able to afford food in an economy strained by the proxy war, on top of the price hikes from attack on Iran is difficult. Hopefully I can stabilise.




  • What he said here is shit and I think it’s worthy of criticism, but I still think that his work is great and what he’s doing is great. Also, I get it. I get breaking down and just having A Moment about America, especially when your country is on the receiving end of imperialism. He certainly should have vented in private but I do get what prompted him to act this way.



    1. sadly not yet, but I’ve been meaning to learn, though, since I quite literally work 7 days a week, learning stuff is difficult
    2. I live close to the border with Moldova, so I don’t have to cross half the country, fortunately.
    3. For now, the US - my wife and her polycule live there, they’re fortunate enough to just barely afford owning a house. Afterwards, not sure yet, but either Japan(most of us know the language at least partially, and some have work connections, so it’s an easy place to start), Costa Rica, China(assuming we find a way in), or Vietnam.




  • Yeah, it’s bleak here. I’m not a Ukrainian despite being born here - yes I have legal ties to this country and I speak the language and have lived here all my life, but the people feel alien to me, their culture is not mine and I do not intend to practice or remember anything from it, I don’t use the language to actually talk to people as I hate every moment I am forced to interact with them. It’s liberating knowing that I’m devoid of culture and nationality in a material sense, but also weird. I wonder if I would feel different had the things gone better.
