  • The emote problem seems like it’d be really annoying, I’ve stopped using them when I’m not on hexbear communities (though sometimes I forget what instance I’m on sorry in advance).

    As for the “wrong type of leftist” sort of stuff, hexbear tries to be a big tent community for leftists (we’ve got all sorts over there although it’s admittedly heavily leaning towards marxist-leninists) and it tends to be a much more welcoming site outside of those overcrowded threads on active where everyone is arguing.

    Hopefully the chaos will die down soon enough.















  • Bunch of failed suicides, an accident in a school swimming pool, and the time my neighbour accidentally diverted a fuck tonne of carbon monoxide fumes into my house. All the times I’ve been close to death don’t make for particularly interesting reading.

    How about a brush with serious injury instead?

    1st year of uni. I’m in the labs for the first time and I am hyped to do some microbiological analysis. We were given a bunch of techniques to try and I’d decided to start by doing gram staining and then observing a slide. Most of my class mates had less experience on the microscopes than me and I was feeling great about how quickly I’d calibrated everything. Cocky enough that I hadn’t noticed just how coated in immersion oil my gloves were, until my hand accidentally passed through a Bunsen burner and went up in flames.

    Thankfully I’d picked a bench close to the sinks and was able to wrap some damp towels around the hand quickly to try to smother the flame before I got seriously burnt. But the scars on my hand are a reminder to me to be aware of my surroundings in the lab at all times.



  • On the 3rd of November 1970, Salvador Allende peacefully and by popular consent established a socialist government in Chile. By the 11th of September 1973 he had been overthrown and killed, his democratic government replaced with the fascist regime of Augustus Pinochet.

    The revolution is necessary because the ruling class will fight to the last human to defend their unequal distribution of wealth.

    Call it authoritarian if you will, but this is the struggle that must occur if you want to build a better world.
