An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
heat, and everyone being happy and social :|

and those happy social people just remind me of how unhappy and antisocial i am :hearts:

Sleeping with heat and the fucking humidity. Getting out of the shower and you're already sweating...but definitely the worst at night. Also the bustle of the streets although I am no longer in a tourist town x)

WhatDoesTheFoxSay?
Hold your head high, and your middle finger higher
Less clothes. I can't hide away in my oversized hoodies anymore, so I feel much more insecure about my body.
The fireworks, all night until 4-5am.
The people out enjoying life with their partners, friends & family. I don't even get to attend any cookouts or BBQ's because my family isn't close at all.
My birthday.
I would say the overall vibe of Summer makes me feel lonelier, but then you have Thanksgiving & Christmas right around the corner…but Summer definitely screams happiness and joy. Bright weather, bright clothes, etc. Too much for a sad loser like me.
October is probably the only month I really enjoy. Great Fall weather and Halloween.

couples living their lives happily remind me of things i could never have. also normal people can be happy just because it's sunny while I turn into a vampire when i see the sun. i can't believe how people can love life so much this so unfair
The heat and sweating decreases my sleep quality. And it reminds me that I am so alone. In summer everyone seems to be happy and in good mood. I am the contrast of it.
No wonder the suicide rate in summer is higher than in the winter season.
I'm mostly housebound and frequently bedridden. What makes summer particularly difficult is this feeling that others are going out, enjoying the sun and warmth, socialising and making plans with loved ones while I'm stuck indoors, alone and in pain. This is difficult all year round but the isolation and sense of rotting away are especially pronounced during summer (and also at Christmas), times that are usually spent surrounded by family and friends. It drives the point home that I'm not living my life, merely emptily existing day after day.

Parents, sweating, thirst, parents who tell me I have no right to shower or drink water, parents, bad parents, evil parents, parents, lices or whatever those bloodsucking bugs are, hirvikärpäset, sweating, thirst.
Think about a mosquito. Now think about something that is ten times worse and immortal. Won't die in sauna, the comb won't catch it, it's undeafetable... that's moose fly.
Kids screaming too much. Drunk people. Littering. Some places being closed so that important things cannot be advanced. Glass shards.
Sun rising at 12-4am, in some places it never even sets.
I kind of like Summer because of action getting cranked to the max. Lots of interesting stories in the Summer. I like seeing the mirages on the road. The jungles at night look and feel like an alien planet from a movie. I don't mind the heat because I get used to it quickly. Bugs don't bother me either because I spray a strong perfume. I walk to the beach to ease my mind a lot. The heavy rainstorms in the afternoon are awesome. The worst thing has to be people revving up their trucks in the middle of the night when I'm trying to sleep but it happens not that often and I get used to it.
Bugs insects such as ants spiders and more. The heat makes me want to ctb even more. I also hate too much sun amd climate change. I dislike not being anle to walk outside and enjoy it. And I miss dearly the darkness of the beautiful winter months
Just what everyone else says. To add insult to injury the weather forecasters are all rubbing their hands with glee talking about 'glorious days' when what they mean is 'insufferable suffocating heat'. Is it so hard to compute that not everyone loves sweltering and roasting like a suckling pig? I feel very uncomfortable in summer clothes. It's impossible not to expose bare flesh of which I'm super self conscious. Oh and it's allegedly BBQ and picnic season. People are out there creating memories with family and friends. I'm stuck inside with the fan on full blast. Summer is loathsome. Even Spring is annoying (and suicide peaks in April and May). I hate nature and its inescapable cycles. Give me Autumn and Winter every time.
