Xopher @xopher.blacksky.app · 06/08/2026This was kind of triggered by some internet asshole dismissing depression and ADHD as simply the natural results of living under Capitalism, rather than their own thing.

Xopher @xopher.blacksky.app · 03/08/2026It seems like a lot of people are about to learn that you have to do a lot better than scream "Socialism!" to scare people off.
