Hi Prideknights!
You're based in Europe, right? Could you help out signal-boosting this European citizens initiative to ban conversion therapy in the EU?
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home
I don't think I have to explain the horrors of conversion therapy to you, so let me explain how this initiative works.
For it to get taken seriously by the EU, we need two things:
7 countries need to reach the minimum threshold of signatures for their country. We're currently at 6 out of 7! Slovenia only needs 300 more signatures to become country number 7!
We need a total of 1 million signatures. This might look daunting, but there days ago we were still at 200.000. Yesterday we were at 450.00. We are at 535.000 right now. So we have a long way to go, but we are moving fast!
The deadline is in a few days, on May 17.
Anybody with a European citizenship can add their name to the pile! If we reach the right amount, the official citizen initiative will be put before the EU Commission.
With lgbtq+ rights getting rolled back across the world, including Europe, there is no time to lose to demand stronger protections.
I guess when you’ve been learning not to feel as anxious when talking to people and then get the anxiety “fixed” you become more outgoing than the average person since you’ve already been pushing through anxiety so the lower level is a piece of cake
So I started anxiety medicine like 3 months ago
The things I've learned are:
- I am a YAPPER. I love talking.
- I love making friends. I have gone from being afraid to open my mouth to literally walking up to people and complimenting them
- Social anxiety fucking sucks dude
- Feeling like your heart is dropping constantly ISN'T normal

No dying ever actually. Become immortal.
There was a solo for alto sax in our marching band piece and none of the saxes had looked at it before camp (I had but it was for someone playing alto on the field and I’m on clarinet), but when we played through the beginning of the part where the solo would be I naturally played it because why not no one else was going to that time. Then our band director realized I had looked at it and decided to make it available for audition to any instrument.
One of the other clarinets and one of the altos tried out too (the other clarinet worked on it over the summer as well). I don’t know who’ll have the solo yet but I’m just glad I’m the reason it was even an audition.
Out of?

As an alternative to 'sugar, spice, and everything nice'
