"No Rock Scorns Me as Whore" by Chrystos. From This Bridge Called My Back.

I don't know the name for what I'm feeling, but I know it feels like this poem.

Dear Gloria

What follows is a slight rewrite of a class assignment. The assignment was to write a response letter to “Speaking in Tongues: A Letter to Third World Women Writers” by Gloria Anzaldúa which can be found in the pages of A Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color, an anthology edited by Cherríe Moraga and Gloria Anzaldúa. Because I am a creature of habit, I did deviate from just…

Ok I got an interview at a place that mixes custom pet food

#yeah no one else will write me back and it's part time so maybe I can swing it #plus possibly snow/smoke days off cause they follow the school calendar #had to leave DEI off my old job title to get a call back #like I did dei trainings in a (now) red state I knew it was polarizing but it was confirmed almost immediately #a little anxious cause one of the questions is about potential allergens and they have flowers on the list #I am allergic to all flowers yes but it is probably fine?#recently learned most people don't take 5 allergy pills and 2 nasal sprays even if they have allergies #(I still have my eye/neck rash from mystery allergens possibly formaldehyde but maybe sulfates? idk smh)#the posting says you can listen to music/podcasts so maybe I can actually catch up on delta flyers #and I was supposed to do part time for my sister but she still hasn't paid me for the last stuff I did for her #I don't wanna be an asshole but I can't keep giving myself money out of my long term savings #$22 an hour but the most I made at the school district was like $27... better at the university but that situation was always unstable #where I live has all warehouse jobs and only a couple educational institutions of which I've burned bridges at 2 #maybe 3 if you count the museum... yeah I'm the worst #plus education sucks I never wanted to go into education but somehow that's where all my experience is #yeah I have a masters degree it is completely worthless don't keep studying because the economy is in ruins and it feels safer #bad decisions made when I was 22 to become over educated and then chronically underemployed (or straight up unemployed like now)

valentines day pkmn wip ^_^

#im gonna put them on their own canvases and write a little abt their design insp and ideas #i had a lot of ideas but decided to go with the ones i felt worked strongest. although id love to go back to the ones that #didnt make the cut and see if i can rework them.. its a little hard to remember things that correspond to valentines day...!!!!#i wanted to do wedding dress gardevoir.. pearl necklace onix... romantic candle chandelure... heart balloon drifloon....#cherubird was supposed to be delibird but i found it hard to work around the santa theme without making it hard to recognize #so i decided to make it a new pokemon (fakemon?) entirely ^_^ based on seraphim doves and love letters #klefki is based on the pont de arcs bridge in france known for its lovelocks!! it collects charms like halves of best friend necklaces #lockets and lost wedding rings.. sawsbuck is based on tree carvings with lovers names and sakura branches #roserade is based on flower bouquets. i like how its design came out!! the body is supposed to look like a waistcoat #lopunny based on playboy bunnies. the fur on its wrists is supposed to resemble the cuffs. torso has the one piece suit #and their legs have the thigh high stockings. frogadier is based on romantic bubble baths with flower petals #tangela is based on curly old telephone wires that you twirl between your fingers when calling your lover kicking your feet in the air #decidueye has to be my fav though with the cupid theme. also used barn owls bc of the heart shaped face #i cant wait to finish these!!!! i can see these going on my portfolio for sure #my art #myart #pokemon #pokemon design #valentines day #wip #doodles

he sat there on the ground and cried. for cas. cas told him he loved him was taken away and he buried his head in his hands and wept

#AND THEN THEY TRIED TO PRETEND LIKE IT WAS FINE? and after the widower arc #it wasn’t even as nearly fucked then this time all their friends got thanos snapped and we don’t even get canon confirmation that they were #brought back. even with covid not even a vo or offhand mention or reference #jack is god and in every drop of rain or whatever.#sure yeah whatever they beat the final boss and got over the protagonist angst of it all but the world was still the same it just wasn’t a #chuck story which only ramped up to being The Big Problem in the season 14 finale.#cas was stabbed by an angel blade and dean broke while wrapping his body for the funeral pyre. ALONE. and was. not doing well #and you tell me it’s whatever after he sat there in that dungeon refused to answer sam’s calls and cried during the complete and total end #of the world. that he just bounced back from that and died and drove around heaven for decades in a few minutes and smiled while americana #electric guitar played on some bridge #cas helped oh that’s nice I guess smile now I have GOT to go drive my car around. because I did not get enough of that in my time on earth.#unlike my time with cas which I am satisfied with and in no need of closure. perhaps a conversation. looking upon him to see him alive and #well. healing some of that trauma of the last time I saw him. a reunion hug maybe even which has become tradition. CUT THE CAMERAS deadass #he’s going for the face touch. no this we cannot possibly have time for we have to play carry on wayward son twice #sorry. it has been three years. sorry. it’s just so funny buddy your ass did NOT escape the hamster wheel

N'than going "That's the Path of Despair. Everyone who goes down there without a guide is lost forever, or worse" and now it's like "no matter where you are on The Path / what if i'm on a path of darkness?" and "you completely lost yourself" and "what would i do without my guiding moon?" and 6x05 "moonless night" and they think they're So Sneaky and Clever

#gnawing at the bars of my enclosure #4x06 #arc 2 #nobody even talk to me about the bridge of darkness #mine #s4 #foreshadowing #i'm calling it now #'i know lots of Tricks and Secrets i can help you stay not lost' like kill me!!#also honestly helps back up the rayla n'than mercy parallel too

god show me an objectively horribly written character and i will be head over fucking heels for em 99% guarantee

#liking a bad character is like finding a sopping wet kitten under a bridge and nursing it back to health #via adding headcanons and rewriting story beats until the character and their story are better #call me a rescue shelter the way so many of my favs are characters ive taken it upon myself to rescue from mediocrity
