  • i’m in a similar boat, got diagnosed with fatty liver a few months back after being a functional alcoholic for years. my blood pressure was also through the roof at the time which prompted the doc to run a bunch of blood tests, both of the liver enzyme tests were “markedly elevated” but thankfully all of the tests for actual liver functioning were well within normal range. i abstained completely for 6 weeks and they both went way down again to near normal and my BP went back to normal as well AND i lost 8 pounds. then she told me i just need to lose weight and eat healthier, in addition to watching my booze intake. i also got hella bills for all the blood tests/ultrasound they ran that makes me not want to go back for a bunch of follow-up appts to check my progress like she was pushing for lol

    i’ve started exercising regularly since the new year but i haven’t been great about the alcohol, i fell off the wagon again shortly after that last appointment. i wanted to go totally sober again for the new year but i went through a 12-pack of seltzers this weekend after a very stressful week. on the positive side, i’ve really pinpointed what my triggers/reasons for drinking are (mostly anxiety spiraling due to… gestures around vaguely everything about the world and the fact that i don’t feel like i have a future) and for the most part i didn’t like how the booze made me feel this weekend. its just not worth it when it fucks with my body so hard. anyway if i keep rambling i’d have to make this its own post but i needed to get this shit off my chest. main takeaway: thank god we don’t have cirrhosis dubois-finger-guns
















  • I just hope this shit ends soon and I will be able to watch their videos again.

    do me a favor and stay the fuck away from normal people. this is a deeply disturbing mindset to hold toward someone who’s speaking out against sexual assault and horrible workplace conditions. if you’re a grown ass adult and not just a dumb child you should feel deeply embarrassed. your brain is rotted by the treats you consume



  • As far as I can tell they embrace leftist unity which is something we could all use more of.

    not to mention that a lot of well-meaning libs simply need to cross the mental barrier of “liberal bourgeois democracy = the end of history” to end up on our side. they recognize, on some level, many of the basic problems of capitalism but lack the analytical tools and deprogramming to effectively criticize it.

    if exposure to leftist views outside the mainstream gets someone, anyone, to realize that smugly whining about “tankies” on the computer does exactly 0 good for improving their own material conditions, I’d say we’ve done our part
