ngl gang I finished both my dissociation fixation games and got a rejection letter for a job I was a shoe-in for after a month-long, three-pronged review/interview process and I am not having a great time
#finishing dredge's dlcs and dave the diver within the same week was a mistake#where am I gonna find another free chill game to dissolve into#at least daima's coming out friday that'll cure me probably#lays on the floor I am so so grateful for freelance and commissions I truly cannot overstate that#but I haven't had full-time work for what I actually do for a living in Nineteen Months because of stupid ass corporate greed#Ninteen Months of telling myself I'm still a member of this industry despite. No work.#And this rejection letter was for a fraction of what I do for a living. I got told they were very impressed and also I did not get the job.#Idk man like idek what it is I do for a living anymore bc I don't have a living anymore#I've been a member of my union for *four years* and I don't have a living anymore lol#anyway. /vent /negativity etc you get it#I've got stuff I need to work on and I'm beyond grateful for that. I'm just bummed out. I was so close to being okay again.#THIS CLOSE to having some semblance of stability.#icb I got scruffed an inch from the finish line on something that by all accounts I should've been overqualified to do#And both Ganondorf and Vegeta continue to be relatable and so real for having exhausted rage-induced breakdowns over that exact thing lol

#meg talks#feeling sad abt union failures (so far. not giving up yet.)#not to fandompost but like ndsbdnxn every day it becomes more and more embarrassing to think abt the communist book club in de#like damn actually it rlly is just u and one other guy who sees ur vision. if ur even that lucky#and u have to push through the embarrassment of being brushed off and ignored#and the mortifying ordeal of laying out all the ways that ur caught in a vulnerable position and in need of solidarity#only for ppl to not rlly be interested bc their position is more comfortable and so they don’t feel the need#even tho they do actually need it too bc their position could be lost at any moment for no reason at all#and also the envy and shame looking at ppl who pulled off what u haven’t been able to#my friend at my job quit without even having another job lined up bc work conditions became so bad#and i just feel rlly sad and ig guilty that i couldn’t mobilize people sooner so that this wouldn’t have had to happen#like idk. maybe if i was more charismatic or had the money and the constitution to go hang out more w ppl#but well i am who i am w the experiences and knowledge that i have and that’s all i can be or have#so ig ill just keep on pushing and embarrassing myself and smelling of failure jssbdjxn bc how else do u get anything done#sigh. whatever. i just wish i felt less alone in this

So I finally watched the 2D clone wars show, and I gotta say, it’s PHENOMENAL!!!
I now adore every second of it, in all of its sassy, oversimplified, primitively scripted, 2D glory!!!
I LOVE how Kenobi spends practically the whole time 100% done with everything, Anakin really is a disaster at heart, half the time the animators zoom in on something, just to start at a picture of a droids face while it talks - with zero motion whatsoever, Windu’s rocket punches, Yoda’s dramatic expressions, PADME and the marriage drama, the bazooka ARC (that guy had tired Rex energy, I LOVED it), a very different perspective of the moments right before Kenobi and Skywalker enter the battle of Coruscant, and it clearly was so inspirational for so many other SW shows!!! Not to mention how it flushes out so many things I’ve always wondered about!
And this is where the tradition of warning Anakin of his fate begins! And he still doesn’t get it! AND he’s 100% dramatic ALL THE TIME!!!
It’s amazing!!!
But it does bother me how many of the clones are truly treated as disposable! It’s like the only ones that make it out of the conflicts are the Jedi and the Sith! They just got mowed down left, right, and center!!! It was so cruel to them!!! And they mostly avoided giving ANY of them names!!! Cody was in it, and 1 other named guy but I couldn’t figure out what his name was. The Commander in red who led the ARCs! They were the only clones that (mostly) survived!!! It was so sad to watch them all just get disposed of so quickly and easily! They didn’t have to do that!!!
#it got worse after they actually let us see that one clone trooper’s chin!#that was the only glimpse that there are humans under there#the armor was impressive and surpassingly accurate for a simplified drawing#but why did they treat them like they were expendable???#the Jedi know better than that!#is this why they started the Clone Wars 2008 with Yoda talking about their individuality and Plo telling them they’re not expendable to him#was it because of this show???#WE NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS DAVE!!! m#AND WHERE WAS REX!!!#the beloved captain was NOT IN IT!!!#Cody got about 5 seconds of screen time which fit his character perfectly!!!#BUT WHERE WAS REX AND HIS BLUE JAIG EYES!!!#and I gotta say the red commander who earned his red jaig eyes was pretty entertaining and dramatic#but ITS NOT THE SAME!!!#where was my hero#the clone wars#clone wars#and all the precursor stuff!!!#Techo Union experimenting on sentient beings without their consent#the bad batch#Ventress!#ilum#bariss and luminara#the mon calamari arc!#shakti#Kenobi determination to stick his face out the door and see everything directly#the way Kenobi practically volunteered Anakin to retrieve the warriors the second he realized his hand was the key#everyone being so suspicious of Palpatine but no one doing anything but protecting him the whole damn time#Anakin shedding his cape in the most dramatic way possible#and diving headlong into danger no second thought at all

<- can easily be bribed into running a high-traffic library by themself for two consecutive shifts with the promise of free pizza
#ember talks#don’t look at me I’m weak of spirit and broke of grocery budget#It’s actually great because it means I don’t need to go to the all-day meeting and I still get the free food#can you tell my workplace is not unionized I think i can tell my workplace is not unionized

right wing media about ceasefire protests really has my parents messed up...in the run up to one simple non disruptive (not binding ourselves to a bridge or whatnot) protest today, both of them have expressed worries about violence and antisemitism and hatred...like idk i know one of them has never been to a protest and the other only briefly, but like...right wing media really has people's minds fucked up, they think every rally is going to turn into a hate rally or something. the funny thing is, though, if you talk to people long enough, including my parents, most of them will eventually be like "okay I'd be fine with a ceasefire. as long as they return the hostages and stop launching rockets too" and it's like yeah...fine...then we agree? there should be a ceasefire? asdf;lkasdf;ladsfjdfsjsd;f like don't insult me i'm your own daughter and i've never expressed antisemitism but the moment i want to go to a ceasefire protest they're like WATCH OUT WHAT YOU MIGHT GET SUCKED INTO...okay you watch out, because in a couple years you might realize that tens of thousands were killed with your tax dollars and you did nothing to stop it???? idk? also how is calling for a ceasefire antisemitic, when in the US, Jewish people have been among the most vocal in calling for a ceasefire, second only to Palestinians themselves??????
#I am not a confident person but I know who I am and what I believe on this and I am not going to get 'sucked into' anything. Thanks.#I am going to stand up and be counted and then I am going to go home and sit down and have dinner. Thanks.#Like idk how to explain to people for whom protest is always painted as abnormal and violent and dangerous...that protest is actually a#normal part of the political process and people do it fairly frequently without incident.#Shoutout to the brand of tumblr post that's like 'to live your life you must disappoint your parents' because I need those posts to keep#rolling across my dash. I take them to heart.#I really do need to get fully used to disappointing and concerning and worrying and annoying my parents. For only good reasons. But still.#vent post#j.2023.all#the state of the union

Can't sleep bc i'm jittery so i'm dropping more Foxglove ramblings. Anyway her most religious trait (asides from mommy issues) is that she genuinely dgaf about money and wealth. She values beauty/aesthetics and a good posture but she couldn't give less of a shit about the price of things + her one good action to the world is that she doesn't mind giving money away with not a single care in the world. And yes it's maybe because she lives in delulu land and believes she's divinely protected from ever running out of what she needs. This makes her extremely hard for Avery to control without violence though
#tbh not only violence. if avery is like 'im gonna dock ur pay' she's like eh. but if avery is like 'im not even touching u tonight'#she's gonna cry and scream and die and explode and die again. actually. she's too damn needy#i wish my two pcs could interact in the same world so badly though bc i'd love to have ronnie have to ask foxy for money lol#all of ronnie's income options are unsteady bc she's so impulsive and has a strong personal moral code which is bad in rapechestershire#if she had to ask Avery's Little Toy™️ for money she'd first rather die but then also every day expect the day foxy would ask for something#awful to pay it back (foxy wouldve had already forgotten and probably already made all the money back bc she loves entertaining)#btw i feel like i need to also say that bailey thinks this is extremely idiotic behavior#but then again to her avery and foxglove are clearly dumbass4idiot. blessed be the union of two empty headed losers - bailey probably

Free universal vocational training. That's the answer to the radical feminist argument that women should be prevented from doing sex work. This is how you get liberation for sex workers (and all working people), not utterly undercutting sex workers' ability to work, making working more dangerous, or sending them to a Magdalene Laundry-esque institution.
#catgirltxt#also: unions#and to be clear i mean 'working people' to mean all people who must labour to live#anyone who has to have a job should easily be able to leave it and adopt a new one without fear to their livelihood#ofc this doesn't really do that much for disabled people who don't work (distinct from those who shouldn't work)#but that's why we also desperately need robust social welfare programs that can actually support people#or socialism now

No offence, but ffs the general strike for Palestine thing being circulated for action this week is literally coming with caveats saying 'if you can't do anything else just don't post on social media about anything but Palestine'.....????????
#at some point it's not a strike any more when people are presenting it to you as not a strike.#look- i think a general strike supporting a ceasefire could make an impact but any kind of strike requires centralised support#e.g. if a community organiser in london who has been planning the large marches put out very clear instructions well in advance#contacted unions etc- maybe are large number of people in the country would actually do it- people here clearly care about Palestine#but literally all of this just ends up being about social media AGAIN.#did we not learn from the BLM black square saga???? social media and especially tumblr is not very useful!#btw the reason why strikes work best through workplaces if because you NEED close social support in order to do them effectively#internet support just isn't the same and it's no wonder so many people are openly saying 'I can't'#i wouldn't either! there would be no point! Sorry to be so blunt#i will 100000% take part in a strike that i am fully prepared for though but i think people should consider how last minute this has been#it's worth noting that there is a lot of guilt here: people feel they cannot do nothing but they cannot afford to strike#(might they have been able to if this was planned in advance? possibly more would have...)#so someone in the west who is not the Palestinian activist who called for the strike added the weird 'just do social media' caveats#they are literally watering down what should have been a very powerful gesture#but they HAVE to do that because they know 99% of people reading will not be equipped to actually strike meaningfully!#and it's the only way to avoid everyone guilt spiralling

I happened to be in both NYC & Buenos Aires while there were sanitation worker strikes & yuuuuuuup.
Society's heroes. They deserve the fancy uniforms. And more pay.

#edited bc I managed to reblog without actually writing the thing#strikes#pro-union#sanitation workers may not be the heroes we deserve but they are the heroes that we NEED#I probably butchered that quote#I've seen both those cities during the strikes & not during the strikes#and what 'it's garbage night' looks like vs 'sanitation strike'#all hail the sanitation workers#saviors of humanity

maybe i’m a joyless bitch but i actually do NOT think it’s funny to see women being like “the house is just in my husbands name” or “my husband makes all the money” or “i don’t even know who our mortgage is with” or “the only bank account/credit card is his and i get an allowance” like i do NOT find that cute or romantic and i am begging these women to Stand Up. you should at least be named on the deed to your house and the title to your car and the bank accounts even if you don’t pay for them/earn all the money. you can’t stop existing in the eyes of the law and the credit unions simply because you have a husband. if you’re raising his children and washing his socks half of everything he’s got is yours and it needs to be yours LEGALLY BY NAME. "he takes such good care of me :)" girl you are a PRISONER!! that’s all

#tbh I can understand hades going fully off the rails in hadestown#hehehe pun#because like imagine not being with someone for 6 months and then having them around for 6 months#within the musical they’re just in love and hades is literally stuck in the underworld because life isn’t fucking fair#so there you are all stuck in darkness and shit and then you find sunshine and they agree to love you back like !?!?!?#okay cool but then you can’t be with them because the world needs or some lame shit so you’re like okay cool yeah you’re literally the only#equal I have and in the second chant from the original recording Persephone says she was hungry for the underworld before even meeting hades#and take that how you want but I’m just imagining like Persephone and Hades as the duo that Understand each other on a level no one else#does and obviously that’s still there but of course Hades has spent so much time alone and then he gets Persephone but not an actual like#happy ending right? so of course he’s gonna pick her up early and bring her back late#and the gospel call and response of why we build the wall shows that Hades doesn’t really see himself as a god anymore he’s the preacher its#a step down and so he’s basically just Adandonment Issues the god at this point who’s also denying that he’s literally a god. that doesnt#have to make sense lol it’s just me in here but also it makes so much sense he’d be a dick I mean he’s cast in shadow and left in the dark#and he doesn’t want to be also in his mind why would Persephone even want to be with him? he’s the god of the dead and she’s his opposite#he’s night she’s day like why would she want to live in shadow with him anyway? so he holds on tight not only to Persephone (and that’s#figurative) but to his title as the lord of the underworld so he makes deals and keeps the dead working (and yes this is ignoring the#themes of anti capitalism and pro-unionization) and honestly it’s a great modernization of the myth because a lot of men are struggling with#the idea that women are now (mostly) going to be with them not for what they provide but for who they are because they don’t feel like#anything (which relatable) and just the general issues of loneliness that a lot of people are feeling (yet ironically don’t feel comfort in#knowing others are lonely too) and I’m just saying if I had someone who Understood imma go ahead and cling to them too but I don’t so i get#judge from the outside lol which is fun#this is mostly about the bee I tried to save but couldn’t and also the sunflowers but it’s fine#I think it would be cool to run the underworld though and he’s got the best dress sense of anyone in the musical so idk what my point even#was now lol#oh right anyway idk justice for hades or something this is mostly just random thoughts but idk anyone else as obsessed with the musical as i#am and that’s why this goes in a super secret special post

Hate the stupid way my credit union treats my credit card
#logxx#I originally had it set up on auto pay which they just arbitrarily decided to end.#And when I called they were like Idk... you're supposed to only be able to end it w a signature but I guess it ended......#And I was like well can I have it back...#And they said No cuz you need to show up in person. and I can't show up in person#Cuz my credit union only has physical locations in NC#And then they said well actually auto pay is bad for xyz reasons (all of which were stupid) but I went well whatever#Will pay manually#And I can NEVER tell when I'm actually supposed to make the payment!!!#They tell me the date my payment is 'due' but whether or not it's actually due on that date is totally arbitrary!!!#So I'll pay a day ahead but they'll decide it's actually a day or two late.#Or I'll pay a day late but they'll decide it's on time and fine actually.#WHY!!!!!!!!!
