#From last year Juneish I think If you ask me not good but I cant say shit about my past self CAUSE#I HAVENT WRITTEN ANYTHINGGGG IN MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS#Certainly like nothing of note in 2024#in general something in my brain has shifted since the last time I wrote#every word feels perfectly ordinary and combinations only feel clever and not like a living thing so I can’t write anything I like#I feel journalistic#I feel like I’m way more comfortable in my personal prose/article style from spamming letterboxd reviews#and blogging LOLLLLL#plus songwriting which requires a lot of compromise for meter and rhyme and rhythm for me to like it#but the poetry muscle isn’t there anymore#where before there were pictures the veil has torn and I see them for what they are#which is#words and words only

I know that realistically William kept in contact with his family during the timeskip but like...what if he didn't?
#the last they heard from him he promised to go home for the holidays#he promised to stay safe#and then radio silence for ten months#they wonder where he is#they see the headlines#OVERLORD DEFEATED#they try not to think about the fact that the article says that one of the heros who accomplished this vanished after the battle#they try not to worry#meanwhile william stares at the contacts in his phone and can't bring himself to text him back#he cant respond to his mothers desperate messages pleading for his safety#jrwi#jrwi prime defenders#william wisp

i think my favourite part of the modern internet is getting locked out of accounts that i have the correct password to because the great sky cloud has decided that some obscured other-authenticating fraction is missing.
#would you like to change your password?#you may not use the same password#would you like to reset your password?#you cannot reuse a password from the last 12 months#have you forgotten your password?#would like assistance with resetting your password?#[dead article]#there is no one to contact and nothing to be done it is a dead world#i don’t want to change my password i would like to use the website on my phone on my laptop#*trapped in a forest by the fae voice* i know i can… i was just there

“You look beautiful.” He tells her often how proud he is; of all her work, of her strength that lifts him, and so lifts Ukraine. It comes easily, this particular thanks. His quiet appreciation, everything packed into three short words- you are beautiful; in everything you do, in everything you are. His voice is rough, the edges brittle, holding out a hand to touch her; for her fingertips against his.
#Harriet writes#finally added something to this series after like - a two month break idk#it has Vova / Olena fluff if that's ur vibe#(though I read an excerpt from an article last night that said Vova does yoga and that gave me Other Ideas but idk you get this instead)

Me panicking because i have 9 missed calls and 5 emails talking about my absence and how "a colleague could take over for me" vs. Me knowing it's really not that important no matter how pushy a client is and that on top of it I'm underpaid and have way to much overtime so i shouldn't even care
#i have 14 hours overtime#collected within 2 weeks lol#you know how it's apparently mandatory for companies in germany to have a way track employees working time? yeah we're#the only company in the whole fucking country who doesn't do that (obviously that's not true there's probably plenty more but it's#still not right.) so we don't get paid overtime nor does it get acknowledged in any way#so technically we're not allowed to even it out (which most people try to do anyway because tf do they think they are asking us to work for#free) but I'm dedicated to not collect any more unpaid working hours so i take the liberty to leave work early this week#so today i left at 12pm (and then got home 4 hours later because another person decided to kill themselves by train. they should call me#first. or anyone else taking the train. I'm sure there'd be plenty of volunteers to do the killing if it means not another miserable day#stuck in a disgusting train). and i logged in again at 6pm today to see if i have anything important messages (stupid i know)#and i saw the missed calls and that there had been an email exchange with me in the cc talking about the 'changes' made in one of the#articles and that someone else could do that for me since i couldn't be reached and at first i felt ashamed and scared#but now it's honestly just pissing me off. that asshole can't write emails and communicate requests like normal people can he#he already called me last week about something completely stupid and acts like his matters are the most important shit in the world#fuck you if you can't wait one day you should have sent this a month earlier because i won't stay online everyday#just to see if there might be an 'important' change you want me to make Immediately. bitch.#also missed two calls from my colleague but she didn't send any messages about what she wanted so i asked her because i felt bad for not#being online and turns out she wanted Nothing. just hear how i was. JUST TEXT ME THEN???? I HATE IT HERE FUCK YOU#seriously i don't get paid enough for this to bother me so much. she probably gets 12-15€ more than me per hour#of course she doesn't care about her overtime as much as i do. i get minimum wage which is less than what I'd get if i still worked at uni#as a student assistant so fuck this shit it's really not important or worth it. from now on i'll only put in minimum effort too#sorry got carried away. rant over now i guess#void screams#work stuff

honestly. it's so fucking frustrating and disheartening. that the only thing making me hesitant to cleanly cut contact with my mom, the thing that still looms after cutting away from my dad........ is that when they both finally bite it, that's two houses to sell. that's money that may mean *i* get to have my own house someday.
the key to the security my parents failed to give me from the moment i was born lies in their deaths. the least they can do. the very fucking *least* is to leave me the means to build that security on my own. they owe me so much more than that, but realistically? that small act of restitution is all i can and will ask for.
until then? i want nothing to do with them.
#the comments of the article i'm reading involves people discussing their reasons for not going no contact with both parents#one of which being that they're not ready to be an orphan yet#and fuck. i know it's more complicated than this but. i've *always* been an orphan#i've wanted to let my parents go for a very long time#it took longer to do my due dilligence in giving my mom eight million chances but. those chances have come and gone#i don't want to do the work to whittle down our interactions. i don't think our relationship is worth carving it down to 'we can talk for 20#minutes once a month about light topics only. i don't want to hear about your sisters or my dad again thanks'#i get nothing out of that#i feel like now that i've Made Up My Mind (finally. it took so fucking long 😢) i'm obligated to give her one last chance#after outlining the New Rules#but she's an adult. as one commenter said '[s]he was always capable of respecting you.'#my mom is an adult. for all the work she's done on herself#she could've caught on that benting about her sisters every time we talk is not an appropriate topic of conversation#she could have noticed all the times i tried to interrupt her when she was here. not even to interrupt her to stop her from talking but#interrupting her so i could PARTICIPATE in the conversation#she is an ADULT and she is capable of looking at our interactions and seeing that they need improvement#there are certain boundaries that polite well adjusted people do not need to deliberately express to expect to have them respected#my mother is responsible for identifying those boundaries and that work. no i can't expect her to read my mind and intuit my boundaries#without me saying so. but i CAN expect her to ask my consent before discussing heavy topics. i CAN expect her to be self aware enough to#allow me to participate in conversations with her#i CAN expect her to manage her emotions to not be a volatile monster just waiting to trauma dump or explode#it is not my responsibility to teach her basic interpersonal decency#and i don't need to give her the eight million and one'th chance to prove she can be respectful this time#she was always capable of respecting me. she just chose not to#venting her feelings and being in her triggers is more important to her#and i sincerely hope she'll stay tangled in those feelings and not bring out the gaslighty 'i'll do anything to keep you in my life!!!!!!'#because. clearly. she will not.#she was always capable of respecting me. and emotional manipulation is not a part of that#personal#i just want to get my parents dying over with so i can afford a down payment on a fucking house

can’t believe i’m already seeing posts to the contrary (and from non-americans, no less) but
when it comes down to the final vote…
Do Not Die on the Hill of Third-Party Candidates.
I understand the urge, but our current election systems are unable to support third-party candidates, and voting third-party is throwing your vote away at best.
do the rules of the game suck? yes! should they be changed? absolutely! but the game is going to happen whether or not you like the rules, and if you insist on playing by what you think the rules SHOULD be instead of what they ARE, you are setting yourself up to lose.
if you want to support third-party options, support your local candidates, look into movements to abolish the electoral college or implement ranked choice voting, and by all means—protest the current rules!
but so long as the rules remain what they are, protest with your voice, not your vote.
#moi#politics#us politics#american politics#2024 elections#especially if said third party candidate has zero chance of actually getting enough support to win#if you are going to tell people to vote third party#and i google their name and can only find ~3 news articles from the last two months that mention them#your candidate is not nearly as popular as you think they are.#your candidate cannot win if nobody knows who they are.#like. this is an ongoing problem on the left.#we cannot keep splitting the vote between aspirational candidates and electable candidates#literally look at the 2000 election#look at 2016#we shouldn’t need to have this conversation as frequently as we do

I didn't realize how much I really do need to be an English Minor until my supervisor gave me an article to summarize the other day (we didn't write it, we were using it for a newsletter) and one paragraph in I saw something that looked stupid and therefore I researched it (yes it was stupid) and the rest of the article was very much just an advert for the site it was on without much actual, y'know, *substance*??? And istg I sat there for a solid 30 seconds buffering about how easily I dissected that Thang and tore it to SHREDS in my notes as tho my 11th grade teacher asked me to write a review on it.
And then I swallowed my pride and summarized it because I'm an intern, don't get paid enough to try and find a better article for my supervisor to approve, and I'm 75% sure no one is going to actually read beyond my little blurbs so it's fine. Whatever.
#light's spot#It was definitely written by AI and it was from BetterHelp too#guys it was NOT a win#my idea for using the section to bring to light disability pride month was kinda shot-down right before this too#so giving me the shittiest article i've ever torn apart to use instead was like salt in the wound#but this is only the 2nd time this kinda thing has happened and I'm not internalizing it#it was a rush job for the project anyways so it's not like there was a ton of time to get a new one approved#but still lmao#I think my english teachers woukd be proud of me#I haven't done something that filled me with such a rush since the last AP test I took in highschool. gods I miss english courses 😭😭😭#everything is kinda foggy these days when I try to think/do stuff. but apparently analyzing papers/articles is the one thing where it's not#<- probably some sort of mental illness or distaste for life or whatever but I'm not unpacking that rn#putting this one in the queue#i'll probably be offline when y'all see it lol#spot q#gonna go draw wizards or smth

I’m trying to find a way to articulate this without sounding like a condescending asshole.
#ra speaks#personal#I’ll post a follow up later but like…#middle class isn’t ‘makes above x amount and below y amount’#middle class is more like you can take a (week) vacation every year but one bad month will make you homeless#but y’all struggle w nuance and the idea that ppl live under different economic pressures than you so 👍 don’t hunt me for sport#like. I grew up on food stamps. we showered together to save on the food bill. I would literally steal and eat butter from the local diner.#we chopped wood bc we couldn’t keep up on the gas bill in winter. I couldn’t buy a single article of clothing until I was 14.#like. yeah things got A LOT better after dad got w the union. yeah he does make 100k a year. but he’s still got 6 kids and extended family#to support and take care of and we’re still trying to pay off bills that accrued from his heart surgery last year.#‘lmao you think 100k a year is middle class’ well it sure as shit ain’t upper class. I know what 14k a year looks like I loved it I know its#*lived it#way better than what we had before but y’all pls can we kill billionaires and not blue collar utilities workers in your Grand Revolution :/

i just watched the first episode of gen v and the jumpscare when fazekas and butters’ names came up as EPs at the end has taken years off my life.
#never forgive never forget#and then i went down a rabbit hole that ended with a vanity fair article from last month about andrew kreisberg being arrested#earlier this year that is one of the more insane things i’ve read about lately

oh thats why my black and white mode mspaint wasnt working.
(The second one is a portable harddrive so that's a temp one-but i tried moving my programs over to my SSD boot and it won't let me! ah the agonizing wonders of program organization. I've never been good at this = ~ = )
welp- in the mean time i'm going to invest into a classic pc tower- thinking the Optiplex, but honestly i'm not that tech savy.
#i did watch BaM Animation's video-but i still feel illiterate in this#Someone who knows how to organize their installations and OS sytems could you help me?#or at least tell me where i can find an article that dumbs it down into baby speak for me#;A;#I always try to do a system clean up and organization from time to time- so I don't have too much to sift through#it's just all this tech jargon#also I was experimenting in blender and after effects these last few months- trying to making new custom intros#that probably ate up a lot of space without me thinking about it#:P

#repost bc the jump from day to month is too much and the integrity of the poll must be kept#question posed bc i feel sick every single day and have for the last decade and i was reading an article which said that#50% of adults experience nausea at some point each YEAR#which seems like a crazy lowball!! so i read it out loud and my mom and brother were both like yeah i dont think ive felt sick this year#and my brother specifically said he doesn't think he's felt sick in the last few years at all!!!#so. poll#i know this website is the chronically ill website so the results might be a little skewed but im still curious#sorry to the two people who already voted i needed to fix this

Steeples my fingers
Hyperfixation this morning has me doing an EXTREMELY deep dive on Chuck Tingle for what I want to be a video essay and...
I may try to reach out to him personally to see if he'd be willing to answer a couple questions once I've got a good chunk of my script finished. He seems at least friendly enough to turn me down if he doesn't trust a rando on the internet so I won't be stuck in "DM Read" limbo
#i don't even have like questions about his personal life - that's his business#it's weirdly specific things that i'd like to hear from him and not some smarmy article that clearly doesn't give him any credit#I just. he's brought me a lot of joy in the last few months#and seeing him talk openly about being autistic#being bi and the erasure that comes with it#and genuinely just being this really nice beacon of LOVE IS REAL light while everything feels like its crashing and burning#its really nice#and seeing him being frustrated about how people think he's not a real person. or not being earnest#i feel that buckaroo#actually I think the first thing I'd ask about is pronouns?#they're not listed on any of his social media and I know a lot of ppl default to 'he'#but seeing discussions about identifying as non-dysphoric transgender makes me question if there would be a preference
