The courage it took to get that good at a job that demanding in my second language. The courage it took to go to work every day and be willing to make a fool of myself every time I opened my mouth in order to do the work I loved in the place I wanted to do it with with people I wanted to do it with. To earn their respect. (Ignoring completely the hours and hours of my own time over years that I devoted to perfecting both my craft and my proficiency in my second language.)

I just don't have the energy to go through that again.

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

I agree that "in Germany your boss legally has to provide you with work while you're at your job" is a bit funny considering the German stereotype. But I am really annoyed at people who act like this is some horrible hypercapitalist thing on that post about pushing people out of their jobs by just not giving them anything to do. When really it's very basic worker protection (within the context of German emplyment law.) Because under most circumstances you can't just be fired from your job. Your employer has to provide a reason for firing you if they want to get rid of you. You also have a right to specifially the work you were hired to do.

So your boss having to give you appropriate work makes illegal any of the following:

a) Making you clean toilets instead of (or in addition to) the clearly defined office job you agreed to do

b) Not giving you work and then firing you for not doing your work

c) Waiting for you to crack under the intense boredom of having to stay on one place with absolutely nothing to do for eight hours a day while your coworkers are roped into it to shun you (or hate you because for some reason you're the only one who doesn't have to do any work) until you quit "voluntarily"

or d) waiting for you to crack under the aformentioned pressure until you do what the people in the notes said they'd do, like watching movies or doing a second job instead which is something you then can be reprimanded and fired for

Still not over the head of cardiology, who said she wouldn't formally diagnose me with dysautonomia because she didn't want me to think of myself as disabled.

As if good vibes and a can-do attitude can stabalize autonomic dysfunction.

Ugh. Cold number two has turned into a hacking cough with too much thick mucus and that general feeling of exhaustion from hacking cough which means I just want to sit in one place and not move. Fml.

My body is now attacking itself bc that is now my over reactive immune system deals with viruses.

I had doubts about interspersing travel for vacation/research/DOING STUFF with L major socialization events WITH PARENTS OF SCHOOL KIDS and with a hundred people who had flown in from somewhere (domestic, international).

My doubts are well founded.

All that social shit should have been at the tail end of the itinerary (which was the original plan but plans got scrambled bc of rando rando outside my control nonsense that ended up never even happening so fml).

When I travel for non social reasons, I like to create a bubble around me— and have done so for decades for REASONS. Only once did it not work out (when a sudden H1N1 outbreak occurred right where I was— oh how that sucked, but most of my interesting travel was behind me by then).

My misery is real. I just feel like I have flushed money down the drain purely bc I agreed to add in too many social visits with too many parents of school children during the winter season of viral yuck and fml sideways. Yeah- it’s been years since I have seen some ppl but the timing was a mess and it assfucked-w/zero-lube my entire itinerary.

Stressing will literally kill you, let it go and let it be. Everything happens for a reason. Life isn’t always fair but stressing isn’t going to make anything better.

all you’ve got to do is pick one activity to do tomorrow. One thing to look forward to. Find a new movie or tv show you want to watch. Check out if there are any local bands playing gigs nearby. Find a random new skill to teach yourself. Do your grocery shopping at a different supermarket. Play stardew valley with someone. Find a new recipe to learn how to cook. See what movies are in cinemas near you. Find a niche museum or community centre in your town. Explore a new park. Go to a thrift store. Go sit in the library for a few hours. Get coffee with a loved one. You can’t leave yet, you’ve got that activity to go do. Keep picking activities. I love you. Stay safe.
