Let's try this again.

Made the mistake of suppressing my gender identity in my last post, so I'm doing this again.

Name: Ashley

Age: 34

I mostly post about: Currently, I am trying to get a life and to summon the courage to go out in my female form (I'm trans). Then maybe about my currently non-existent dating life. I am VERY romantic. I've never actually been in love, which is why it seems like such a desirable dream for me. I am in so much desperate need to love and be loved. Am lesbian but not opposed to sleeping with guys, as turning others on turns me on. May also post about my hobbies/interests.

My hobbies are: Fashion. I like dressing up, but not the high fashion stuff, 'cause it's bs and also because it's for cishet (cisgender heterosexual) folks and, lastly, I can't afford it. May post selfies of me in new clothes.

Gaming. Prefer the shorter and natural-feeling older games of the 2000s, but also like some modern JRPGs and online games. I have a Steam Deck, Switch and decent enough gaming PC. Sold my XSX, because gaming on the big screen makes me ill. Honestly, I wish I could game more, but my family stresses me out at home (yes, I still live with them), so I can't even focus on things like gaming or reading books.

Music. I like indie, metal, alternative rock, that sort of stuff.

Film. I like horror flicks and lesbian cinema. Might get back into anime, but... ehhh.

I'm looking to meet people who: Were you emo in high school? Goth? Yeah, me too. I know a lot of ya'll have babies now, but I don't know where else to connect with people my age, since I do not have a job and, by extension, life.

My posting schedule tends to be: Whenever I feel like it, as this is not a job, but I will try to post regularly.

Before adding me, you should know: I am very mentally ill, but working on it. However, if your buddies get awkward over my comments on your journal, that is NOT my fault. If I feel uncomfortable I will stop commenting, temporarily or completely.

Well, I am very much a capitalist... but I would also wager that what you've been taught is capitalism is actually more accurately described as corporatism, or corporate socialism. Basically, corporations buy special favors and get the bailouts while the people take the hit for it.

For some fun, try telling some self-described capitalists that what they're supporting is corporate socialism. I recently had to educate one on facebook why his argument against higher wages for fast food workers was irrelevant and naive, as we don't have a free market.

lol... I usually avoid politics on here, but I am something of a geek and have been reading up on economics.
