I’m reminded of this law enforcement report on infiltrating anarchist communities:

Highlighted text reads:

“Infiltration is made more difficult by the communal nature of the lifestyle (under constant observation and scrutiny) and the extensive knowledge held by many anarchists, which require a considerable amount of study and time to acquire.”

Wow, that’s messed up.

Also, kudos to Bristol Live for some good journalism.

I understand. I hope you’re able to find some activities to help settle that high energy sadness. I can relate to that feeling but the things that work for me when I’m in that state tend to be the opposite to high activity and mental focus: eg. practicing mindfulness, taking myself for a slow walk in nature, proverbially touching grass.

A few people have suggested drumming, which I’d also recommend.

Have you ever been dancing? One of my biggest pressure relief mechanisms is going to a music venue and just… dancing to bands or a DJ. It brings me back into my body, it’s a great physical workout, and it also keeps me mentally engaged.

I understand this isn’t something you can do immediately if you’re feeling frustrated, but I feel it can help with longer-term benefits towards emotional regulation.

He is especially rotund. I love him.

Thank you for this video! that was so much fun to watch (and I want to try it out too!)

Thanks for pointing out the one exceptional case where women didn’t comprise the majority of people murdered. That really helps!

🙄

Haha thank you! even if that’s not from the contest, it’s a great picture nonetheless.

Same, I still love Beaker to this day.

Yeah Dolly Parton lost to a drag queen in a Dolly Parton lookalike contest 😂

Brutus are one of my favourite bands out of the past decade. They’re outstanding musicians and their songwriting is incredible.

They don’t care about your feelings.

That sounds like a reasonable request.

If you’re open to advice, I’d suggest exploring communicating and unpacking needs with your partner. In the example you’ve given, you’ve shared with her that you need things written down in order to better remember a task. Her reply “you should just be able to remember” is unhelpful on it’s surface, but it’s possible that behind that is a need that’s being unmet. Perhaps she feels she’s not being listened to? it’s worth exploring this with her.

It will depend entirely on the accommodations you are asking of them. What seems unreasonable to them may feel reasonable to you, and the same the other way around.

More details would definitely be useful here.

I didn’t know about Sandrider before this compilation was announced, but I’m definitely gonna check out their discography now. The March of the Pigs cover goes hard.
