#alternative employment

[bearfoottruck]

Hey, I could use some more advice. So, as some of you know, I have autism, generalized anxiety disorder and anger issues. Physically, I am capable of working and holding down a job, but emotionally, it seems like at every job I've ever worked at, no matter how hard I try, work never works for various reasons, and it's making me feel depressed because I feel like I don't fit in with the traditional American workforce, so I'm greatly considering finding alternative sources of income. One of my best friends tells me I'll barely get enough to survive if I go on disability payments, so I'm thinking of starting a podcast and selling some of my art. If anyone has any other practical ways of making a decent living without having to do a traditional 9 to 5, I'm all ears.

i know we all love our perfectly evil Ghost Investigation Ward, but i was rewatching the second Men in Black movie with my dad a while ago and I couldn’t help but feel like an AU in which the Guys in White’s motivations and morality more closely resembled their namesake could be really interesting … i’d love to see a fic in which danny works alongside the ghost police/border patrol/detective squad instead of being kidnapped and tortured by them

"It’s an interesting time, no? When I started to work, Mexican cinema was at its lowest point. There were only 6 films done that year when I made Amores Perros. And 50 years before, there were like 200 films made each year. Little by little, it started to get back. Among the many opportunities that allowed me, the most important one was that I’m able to play in Spanish and to perform with bigger dimensions and more complexity. English-speaking studio movies were an option as a nice alternative, but I also worked in Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, France, and Italy. After COVID, the film experience has changed. Who knows where this will lead for me or for anyone. " x

"Come work for us! There's opportunities for advancement!" Advancement? PAH! You don't understand Carol, I crawled my way to the bottom and damn if I ain't staying.

Lowkey obsessed with the idea of Cafe Uzumaki being a hotbed for former ability user criminals. Like sure so far it's only Lucy who's decided to get a job in the cafe....

But it would be SO FUNNY to me if all the sorta-redeemed antagonists also just started ending up at the cafe if ONLY for the fact that if anything like Episode 30 happens again, the former murder-repressed ability users would just....grab their guns and go feral on the attackers.

like he wouldn't teach finnikin other languages until he was shamed. he was carles' chief advisor when they were failing to respond adequately to the threat of charyn. im going to be honest here i think there's a not insignificant chance he was king's man when carles felt so powerless he had to go to an imprisoned trevanion in secret. isaboe needs to fucking fire him

i cant view the tweet, but im assuming this is about the ao3/fic situation. if it is, ive heard about it and im not even surprised. 😮‍💨 it's really a new low to do that to someone's works, like jfc jikook arent even allowed to be around each other in fiction anymore? these ppl are unhinged.

I just caught myself thinking I wished I could rip a large bill in half to tip a delivery guy, and then I started fantasizing that paper currency should come in giant perforated sheets like blotter paper and you just rip off as much as you need at a time.

Part of me wants to grow out my sideburns again, but the other part of me wants to, you know, find a job

[celestefem]

i want to feel productive, but literally having a job is like the least productive thing you could do.

in retail / food service positions, there’s nothing to take pride in — you’re told to just do things as fast as possible. in our over saturated culture of extreme worker exploitation, selling art and skilled crafts would require you to charge more than most people would be willing (or able) to pay.

on top of all of this, you’re required to market yourself as a product, as generic, inoffensive, and asskissy as possible.

the only thing stopping me from selling keychains and standees is that I have no idea how to ship things

I don’t know who needs to hear this but it’s literally fully legal to lie about your grades and no one ever has to know and then your life is actually the same as if you had those grades except you saved yourself time and happiness
