You Didn’t Need Therapy—You Just Needed a Nap and a Raise
Tumblr media
Sleep and Money Are Free Therapy
You don’t need a therapist; you need eight hours of sleep and a paycheck that doesn’t feel like Monopoly money. But instead of addressing that, society wants you to journal about your “gratitude” while eating instant noodles and dodging eviction notices. Cool. Thanks.
Look, therapy is great. It’s life-saving for many people. But not every existential crisis needs a deep dive into your inner child. Sometimes, you’re just tired because your boss thinks PTO stands for “Prepare To Overwork.”
Let’s talk about the real problem: We’re burnt out, broke, and blaming ourselves for feeling like crap.
1. The Real Villain: Capitalism in a Yoga Pose
Burnout isn’t a personal failure; it’s a feature of the system.
76% of workers feel burned out (because Karen in HR keeps calling your 9 PM Slack messages “team building”).
Meanwhile, your company hands out “mindfulness workshops” instead of paying you enough to survive.
What they don’t tell you: Burnout isn’t cured by a breathing exercise—it’s cured by not needing to work two jobs to afford eggs.
2. Your Body’s Screaming ‘Nap,’ and You’re Screaming Back
That meltdown you had over accidentally sending the “k” text? That wasn’t unresolved trauma; that was your brain asking for a timeout.
Sleep deprivation = instant chaos: It’s scientifically proven that your sleep-deprived brain is 100% more dramatic.
Missed deadlines, spilled coffee, accidentally liking your ex’s Instagram post—are you emotionally unstable or just operating on 3 hours of sleep and spite?
Pro Tip: Before booking that $200 therapy session, try closing your eyes for longer than a sneeze. Revolutionary.
3. Your Wallet is the Real Trigger
Raise your hand if financial stress is your “love language.”
40% of Americans can’t handle a $400 emergency, but your landlord wants $400 extra a month for “market rates.”
Inflation is basically a giant joke where you’re the punchline.
Therapy can help you process feelings, sure. But it won’t make your car payment or lower the cost of groceries. Sometimes, you don’t need coping strategies—you need someone to admit you’re being scammed.
4. Self-Care? More Like Self-Scam
Self-care isn’t sipping wine in a bubble bath while your to-do list stares at you from across the room. It’s not buying a $50 scented candle that smells like “relaxation” and regret. And it’s definitely not downloading your company’s wellness app.
You want to fix burnout? Stop glamorizing exhaustion. Stop normalizing broke. Start demanding naps and raises.
Tumblr media
Rest and Money Are Revolutionary Acts
Let’s get real. You don’t need another journaling prompt about gratitude. You need sleep, money, and the courage to tell your boss that “wellness week” is insulting.
Take the damn nap. Ask for the raise. And while you’re at it, follow The Most Humble Blog for more brutally honest takes and the occasional inappropriate meme. You’re welcome.

Happy Monday! 🌞 Did you know Monday is named after the Moon, symbolizing a fresh start and new beginnings? Let today be a reminder that even the toughest days hold the power to spark new energy. Let’s kick off....Bet you thought this was going to be something solidly motivational, huh?
Monday? Just the start of another workweek in this relentless capitalist system. For many, it’s a day that drains the soul, marking the beginning of a cycle that exists only to serve profit, not people.
Mondays are a reminder of how deeply we’re tied to a system that values productivity over well-being.
Fuq a Monday🌙✨️

If I were to lay down like John Lennon did, will it even matter? Will I be a symbol of the growing dissatisfaction against the world of money and alienation? Or I will be another client at a psychologist’s desk? Or maybe another lazy girl, too immature to grasp what it takes to be an adult? I envy the teenagers that live under their parents home. I envy those that have a place to live without expenses. I envy who I use to be as a student. I envy not having to think and pay on my own. It’s tiring, I don’t understand of the priorities, I want these nice shoes, I want to travel, I want to live. To live, not to work, to pay, to consume. The thing is, my therapist and most therapists won’t understand. It’s not depression. It’s worse, not wanting to participate in society, there are not many cures for this.

Privilege, Identity, and the Death of Consequences: Lessons from Infinity Pool
Can You Still Call Yourself Human If You’ve Abandoned All Accountability?
Tumblr media
In a world where consequences can be bought, morality becomes optional, and privilege is the ultimate shield. Brandon Cronenberg’s Infinity Pool doesn’t just tell a story; it grabs you by the collar and demands you confront the ugliest parts of human nature. At its core, this film isn’t just science fiction or horror—it’s a searing exploration of what happens when people are given the chance to escape accountability entirely. The real terror isn’t in the alternate universe; it’s in the mirror.
1. Privilege: A License to Escape Consequences
In Infinity Pool, we’re introduced to James Foster, a struggling writer vacationing in the fictional country of Li Tolqa. After a tragic accident, James learns about the country’s unique judicial system: for the right price, the wealthy can purchase a clone to take their punishment.
It’s not just a get-out-of-jail-free card; it’s a literal escape from moral responsibility. But this isn’t just about science fiction. The premise eerily mirrors the real world, where privilege and wealth often allow people to dodge the consequences of their actions.
Dark Humor:
“Accidentally killed someone? Don’t worry, just Venmo the government, and they’ll handle it.”
Isn’t this just a sci-fi version of celebrity scandals? Replace the clone with PR damage control, and you’ve got a headline from TMZ.
Real-World Parallels:
Brock Turner’s infamous case: A rich Stanford athlete gets a slap on the wrist for sexual assault because “prison would ruin his future.”
The college admissions scandal: When millions buy your kid a seat at a university, who cares about merit?
The film forces us to confront a chilling question: How much humanity do we lose when we live in a world where wealth and privilege can overwrite accountability?
2. Identity: Who Are You Without Consequences?
The cloning process doesn’t just erase guilt—it creates a perverse form of self-destruction. In one of the film’s most disturbing scenes, James is forced to watch his clone executed, knowing full well that it’s a stand-in for his own punishment.
The Question: What happens to your sense of self when your actions carry no weight?
James begins to blur the lines between himself and his clone. If someone else dies for your crimes, are you still guilty?
Worse, James begins to enjoy the spectacle. Watching his clone suffer becomes thrilling, even liberating.
Relatable Satire: Imagine if, every time you ghosted someone, a clone of you had to deal with the awkward confrontation. Would you still feel bad about being flaky? Probably not.
The film’s genius lies in how it makes us examine our own behavior: When accountability is removed, what stops us from becoming monsters?
Tumblr media
3. The Death of Accountability: Modern Reflections
Infinity Pool might be extreme, but the themes hit close to home in an age where accountability feels more like a suggestion than a rule.
Cultural Examples:
Social Media Outrage: People post, cancel, and condemn without facing any real consequences themselves. It’s a digital purge, and we’re all guilty of it.
Corporate Greed: Billion-dollar companies commit crimes, pay fines that barely scratch their profits, and continue business as usual.
Political Corruption: Politicians manipulate laws, exploit loopholes, and emerge unscathed while their constituents suffer.
In the film, the wealthy tourists in Li Tolqa return every year to commit heinous crimes, knowing they’ll never face justice. Sound familiar? It should. From tax havens to legal loopholes, the elite have always had their own version of the clone system.
4. Humanity Without Morality: The Darker Question
The central theme of Infinity Pool isn’t just about privilege or justice—it’s about what happens to our humanity when accountability ceases to exist.
When you no longer fear consequences, does morality even matter?
Without guilt or accountability, are you still human—or just a hollow shell playing out desires without restraint?
The Darkest Irony: The more James indulges in this consequence-free world, the less human he becomes. By the end of the film, he’s little more than a walking husk—a man who has lost all connection to his own identity.
Real-Life Echo: Think of people who’ve lived their entire lives shielded by privilege—those who’ve never been told “no” or forced to confront the impact of their actions. Are they living authentically, or are they just avatars for their unchecked impulses?
5. What Infinity Pool Teaches Us About Our World
Cronenberg’s film doesn’t just entertain; it stabs at the heart of our societal flaws. It asks us to examine the systems that allow people to escape justice and how those systems corrupt not just individuals but entire cultures.
Lessons for Us:
Wealth and privilege shouldn’t be shields from accountability—they should be reasons to act more responsibly.
True humanity isn’t defined by freedom but by restraint. What we choose not to do matters as much as what we do.
Accountability isn’t a punishment; it’s the backbone of morality. Without it, society collapses into chaos.
Tumblr media
Can You Still Call Yourself Human?
Infinity Pool leaves us with a haunting question: Can you still call yourself human if you’ve abandoned all accountability? The film’s answer seems clear: No. Without consequences, morality fades. Without morality, identity erodes. And without identity, humanity becomes meaningless.
If nothing else, the film is a wake-up call. Privilege may let you escape punishment, but it won’t save your soul.

Posted @withregram • @pacingpixie When we call a disability (not symptom or illness) 'mild' or 'severe', it ranks Disabled people by their proximity to an 'abled' standard. Those that deviate most significantly are labelled 'severely' Disabled. This standard is informed by a Capitalist system that values being 'productive' above all else. But we all know that your productivity is not your worth. So can we break this ableist yard stick already? ID: it says, "Disability is often conceptualised like this:" There is a picture of a scale with "Severely Disabled" on one end and "non-Disabled" on the other". When it really looks more like this:" There is a picture of a network in the shape of a heart where every node is a different colour. "It's a network, a web, a matrix" "and a beautiful one at that" #disability #disabilityawareness #disabilityadvocate #ableismistrash #ableism #capitalismsucks #disabilitypride #thefutureisaccessible #accessislove #disabledandproud #disabilityisdiversity #diversity #diversityandinclusion #cripple #cripplepunk #intellectualdisabilities #inclusionrevolution #diversityisbeautiful #differentnotless #babewithamobilityaid #wheelchairdontcare #diversityispower #disabilitycommunity #grateful #community #disabilityjustice #disabilitysupport #capitalismkills #anticapitalism #ableismexists https://www.instagram.com/p/CPYy1xHDomvbh4yLgArwexMBcUp7ynEE5iWBdk0/?utm_medium=tumblr
