And My Personal Favorite:

a screenshot of a post in subreddit AskReddit. the title reads, "Left handed people - what in the world just doesn't work properly for you?"
a response by user bk775: "Ball point pens. They are designed for the ball to be pulled across the paper. When you're a lefty you push it across the paper and alot of them do not write correctly because of it." There is a reply that says, "Wait... I've had this problem all my life and never realized why. Always looking at pens that stopped working and seeing they still had plenty of ink left." Another reply says, No shit... this whole post is teaching me all the ways being a lefty sucks that I never realized. Brooms, pens, everything else. I just thought every product was a peice of shit, and it turns out it was me all along." Below is a third reply that says, "Came looking for this answer!! It took me 46 yrs to have this click in my brain. I hate certain pens. As a kid I wanted so badly to use the glitter gel pens and couldn't figure out why they never worked for me. I figured it out watching my spouse and kid write with a pen after I couldn't get it to work. It also was the point where my spouse was able to see the world from my lefty perspective. He is basically like "This shit sucks for you"."
A reply that says "Spiral bound notebooks. Can openers. Lead pencils and certain gel pens smudge as you write. Certain computer mice if your like me and only want to use one left handed (thank God for left handed gaming mice)". A reply to this comment says " had a math professor that would take me down a letter grade for having smudges on homework.. I told her am left handed and her response to me was to get a left handed notebook... I failed that class, biggest waste of 300". A second reply says "I had a French teacher who gave me detentions for using ballpoint pens instead of fountain pens (I told her when I use fountain pen it's illegibly smudged), and then gave me detention when I used fountain pen and it smudged. 15+ years on and I still think about how much I loathe Mrs Smith."
a comment that says "chairs for students (when there are individual chairs) have writing pad on the right hand side. That sucks." A reply to this comment that says, Most of the classrooms in college had 1 or 2 left handed like those and all of us lefties always rushed to see who could get one first". Another reply: "It's funny cause in my area, as the lefty desks were on the outside, the people who wanted to leave early would grab them and actual lefties never got to use them."
A comment that says, "Try drawing a line, 'pulling' a pen and then 'pushing' it to feel the difference in smoothness. Also mugs with logos on one side that are not visible when used in the left hand. Or site sign-in books in narrow spaces in doorways, with a pen on the wrong side - oddly common. Rulers with the numbers on the wrong side."
A comment that says, "Every lawnmower l've used has the pull cord on the right side. This means I either have to use my weaker hand to start it or stand in an awkward position to pull with my left." A reply says, "Add chainsaws and hedge trimmers etc to that too. They put the controls so you have to have a right handed stance, with sided switches. Throws my entire body off and makes every job require extra effort."
"haven't seen anyone say this yet but tutorials, especially for things like crocheting. i have to mirror everything in my head"
a comment: "Eating at a table next to somebody right-handed. As a lefty, you get used to keeping your elbow tucked in and down to prevent hitting the person sitting to the left. Right-handed eaters (not all) just let that chicken wing flap."
A comment that reads: "I didn't see anyone mention this one yet, Brooms, where the stick screws into the brush part. The way I naturally grip a broom and sweep causes it to gradually unscrew itself until the brush part falls off So, I have to swap which hand is on top and my entire stance so my sweeping motion will constantly screw the stick and brush tighter together instead. It's easily manageable but sometimes at the end of a long day of work you're tired, sweeping up and not thinking about having to do it opposite, the broom detaches." a reply says "Oh is THAT why the broom always unscrews for me. That makes so much sense"

and my personal favorite:

a comment that says "credit card readers always angled for right handers". a response says "Or the pen is attached to the right side and the wire isn't long enough". A second reply says "The instant rage I just felt from reading this. Ugh, I hate this so much"

i love getting validation as a lefty but also learning about new fun ways it continues to suck

There are two types of writers:

1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'

2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'

my little brother tried to show me a "cool trick" where he entered my name and hometown into chatgpt and tried to get it to pull up my personal info like it did on all of his friends, then was absolutely shocked when it couldn't find anything on me

so. keep practicing basic internet safety, guys. it still works. don't put your personal info on social media, keep all your accounts on private, turn off ai scraping on every site that you can, enable all privacy features on social media apps. our info still can be protected, we have to keep fighting for control

Hey God? Can you give us queer people your protection to exist? I saw an angel in a trench coat trying to help earlier, but I don't think he's powerful enough to bless more than a couple of us at a time, and he's busy with some guy with an old car.

All queer people have always had my protection to exist.

And that’s not stopping today or anytime soon.

Keep living.

additionally i think a lot of us remain helplessly dependent on self flagellation and punishment believing it to be discipline/self control because we are not taught to believe that care and deliberate healing and patience and attention are disciplines themselves
