#I do not dream of labor

[loveandaches]

i love you smart girls who are party animals. i love you smart girls with imposter syndrome. i love you smart girls with no motivation. i love you smart girls who just want a sweet treat. i love you smart girls who live for academic validation. i love you smart girls that don't think they're smart. i love you smart girls who just want a nap. i love you smart girls who go to class hungover and still pull an A+. i love you smart girls who think too much about song lyrics. i love you smart girls who are unsettling and "too woke." i love you smart girls who love trashy pop about popping your pussy. i love you smart girls who will talk about capitalism when raving about their stanley cup. i love you i love you i love you.

One thing that I really like about 911 and a handful of stories they've done over the years is the idea of it being okay to give up on a career/dream if it's not suiting you anymore. Or trying it out, finding out it's not for you, and then stopping.

I know a lot of people were mad that Hen didn't finish med school and go and become a doctor, but personally I liked that she listened to her heart and decided that being a first responder was better suited towards her, and I'm happy that Karen didn't get on her case or be like "but you wasted so much time and money and effort doing this!" I was so happy Karen let Hen feel what she felt and supported her decision to stay being a first responder instead of pushing her to continue going to be a doctor when that path might not have been as fulfilling to her even though she thought it was what she wanted.

The same things happens with the kid that Chim mentors where instead of being like hey you gotta push forward to be a firefighter, he says hey you have great instincts maybe they're best put to use at the dispatch center.

(this part is speculation based on some recent posts about Eddie and potential interim captain.) I would love to see Eddie temporarily take on the roll of interim captain for a short period of time. Not to show that he should be captain, but to show that there is value in wanting to stay being a part of the team rather than being pressured to pursue leadership. Most of the time, the way our culture is set up (fuck u capitalism) most media and propaganda wants people to do everything they can to reach the highest most important leadership role they can have. I would love to see Eddie try out being a leader (and being good at it cuz that's just how he is!) But then ultimately deciding that he prefers to be on equal ground with his teammates, following a good captain like Bobby or Hen, rather than being the one making the decisions.

Idk I just really appreciate that 911 doesn't ever push the story that you always have to be seeking bigger and better things career wise and instead promotes following what makes you happy and finding work that fulfils you personally rather than what is expected of you.

IS-0, my robot OC!

She used to be my voidsona, but I fell out of voidpunk. I don't think it's my style anymore, and I feel like there's some problems with the movement anyway.

But I kept the OC, because I still think her design slaps. I thought up a new, simple lore for her.

She was created in a lab, and is 75% machine. The rest is bionic organic parts. She can't take her helmet off, but if you look closely, you may see a face behind the glass.

Artificial beings like her are all assigned a job upon creation, which they must perform, and if they do, they get to live their lives as normal civilians, without interference. Deviating from that results in them losing a place in society, being looked down on, for being a waste of the resources funneled into their creation.

IS-0 has a friendly personality, and is always eager to contribute, though she resents the fact she has no choice but to work on what she was assigned to upon activation: Engineering.

She doesn't mind her job, it's the lack of choice she hates. So she draws and writes in her spare time, publishing comics and stories and earning extra money that way, as a kind of rebellion. That way, she feels like she has a job she actually chose to do.

My value as a person comes not from the labor I produce but from the joy and positivity I spread to those around me

🩷I don’t think I’ll ever work again🩷

[dontaskmetohangout]

I cannot overemphasize the dissonance between the innermost yearnings of my heart and the things I spend the majority of my time doing just to keep my child and myself clothed, housed, and fed.

The 40yo at my job is leaving for a better position elsewhere (congrats to her, retail is hell), and I keep overhearing her saying how she has a little more than 20 years left until she can retire and I think I'm going to Lose It.
