#another reason to unionize

After finishing Mouthwashing for the first timr I was surprised at my own passivity towards Jimmy and his actions. Don’t get me wrong, I hated him the most amongst all the characters but in terms of blame, Pont Express reaped all of my anger.. Maybe it’s because I had rewatched Alien previously but I abhorre the fact that corporate greed pushes people into this selfish ‘save your own skin’ mentality
#divide to better reign#another reason to unionize#yes Jimmy is a massive coward that totally deserved to suffer in his weird ass fucking visions.#…but…#something in me is programmed not to blame the individual but rather the system at large#Jim would’ve been a circumstancial piece of shit if he hadn’t assaulted Anya#mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#bernard barks

SCIENCE IS ON IT! The kids will be ok 🙏
(They're even calling to stop the ban while they're doing this and on the same side as the rest of us in that "[they too believe that] clinicians, patients and families should make decisions about treatment on the best available evidence, not politicians."!)
#uk#trans#cass review#british medical association#this is the british medical association btw the trade union for doctors in the UK#I cannot describe to you how good news this is after the last few months of political transphobia and the impact it's had on the community#notably the young people affected#the transphobes have reached the point where WE have parents AND doctors firmly on our side and THEY're being demonstrably unreasonable#which means any reasonable person will also be on our side as long as they're base line informed about what's going on#edit: found another article about it#apparently this was LITERALLY in reaction to the court rejecting the TransActual/GoodLawProject lawsuit#where they tried to sue the gov abt the blocker ban being unconstitutional or something along those lines

Do... do I go with the username for the running gag of "worst kept secret" or do I say fuck it and say magister Merlin for giggles to see his reaction
#afk merlin#afk shakir#afk journey story#afk journey#fun fact my username isn't my merlin's name in story#his name is actually Emrys#because. historical references and. bbc merlin brainrot.#Another hilarious fact: Emrys is so done with everyone#King wants to go into a thousand year nap after this is all done#Emrys is NOT paid enough for this#“the greater good” Emrys: I am being guilt tripped#Emrys: I can't even unionize for this unpaid heroism work because my familiars would cry if I mentioned I didn't want to do this#at least he gets to meet Dionel#fun fact: if there was an option for Emrys to ask Dionel if he could just stay#he would take it#he would stay in the moon temple with Dionel#Emrys “I can't say no to helping because Guilt” Magister “I will expend myself beyond my reasonable capabilities because I see no other#option in these trying times“ Merlin

#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

Any Civil War history from the Confederate perspective (especially early in the war) is always insane from a modern perspective, because no matter what complexities or patriotic feelings they try to bring up, it eventually always boils down to
Confederate: Abraham Lincoln is ACTUAL SATAN!
Me: Okay, that's a pretty serious charge. What makes you say that?
Them: He wants to free the slaves!
Me:
Me:
Me: ....that's it?
Them: What do you mean??
Me: I just thought maybe there'd be something else. Something actually evil.
Them: Isn't that enough??
Me: To put this mildly...no.
Rose Greenhow: He looks like an ape and doesn't know which wine to drink at dinner.
Me: That's just mean and you're a snob. It doesn't mean he's evil. Isn't there anything else?
Them:
Them:
Them: Oh, I got it! He's a tyrant who won't let us secede!
Me: Okay, but why did you want to secede?
Them: Because Lincoln's an evil tyrant who wants to free the slaves!
At which point I throw my hands up in despair, baffled at the extreme cultural and moral gulf.
#history is awesome#presidential talk#for context this mental conversation is happening while i listen to the confederate spy sections of my audiobook#i keep waiting to hear another reason for their hatred and it never comes#later on in the war it makes sense because he's been in charge of the enemy army for a long time#but early on they got nothing but stuff they started#this doesn't even get into the irony of how he bent over backward not to free the slaves to keep the union together#but that's an entirely different and morally grayer conversation

I genuinely can’t fathom how you pump out such quality writing in so little time like omgg
thank you, i have the worst sleep schedule you could ever possibly imagine❤️
#theres a lot of ways i could answer this but this is.. hm. the least concerning??#like saltburn very literally triggered me into a manic episode and writing is how i cope??#performance enhancing drugs (ADHD medication)#over a decade of experience???#all true but so is the sleep schedule thing and thats Snappy#im also addicted to validation thats another reason#if i don't write the stories get stuck in my head and build up and make me sick??? still true#the worms have joined forces with my mental illness and formed a saltburn based union?? hm#it shouts back

A bit of a random post on this small ass blog but - Petsmart Employees are currently working to Unionize after a bunch of shitty choices by the company as a whole that include things like cutting a lot of the call center workers and all overnight hotel workers (resulting in some animal deaths). I don't quite know what nonemployees can do but like - figured I'd post about it anyway
#im not tagging this because im paranoid about them finding my blog#and like i know they cant legally fire me for working towards a union but they can do so if they just like claim its for another reason#sorta spooky talks

unemployment arc update
#a sock speaks#work tag#things seem. not great. at restaurant job.#I could go there as a last resort but it sounds like the current management is making things miserable for employees#writeup for leaving without finishing sidework. writeup for staying late to finish sidework. only scheduling one server per shift. etc.#I kinda don't want to go back as things are 😅#I'm thinking about applying where my mom works#she does at-home care for disabled & elderly people#I'd for sure need a car and I think there are things I'd find stressful#(purity culture hit me Really Badly and I'd have some work to do before I could comfortably bathe or dress another person)#but it sounds so much more relaxed day to day. better for my anxiety.#and tbh if I could work through the modesty issues that would be good for me#pushing me to get a car sooner would also be a good thing#and I think maybe I could mature a bit more with a job like this. I still kinda feel like an underbaked adult yk?#the hourly pay is a bit less than restaurant job after tips but this job has good healthcare and union representation and all that#also the scheduling is more flexible so I could do orchestra and plan outings with friends and things like that#I had reservations about it but there are so many reasons it could be a good fit#most of it is light housecleaning. washing dishes. cooking simple meals. grocery shopping. taking ppl to appointments.

You ever suddenly remember an OC you made years ago. I just remembered an OC from the 8th grade I named Pecan
#literally the whole plot of pecan's story was that he lived a life without making any impact on the world#positive or negative#which meant he could be resurrected.#the reason most people couldn't be brought back to life in this story was because they already left their mark on te#*the world#so when a big bad figures this out and tries to summon the undead#pecan is there. a high schooler who died in a car accident.#normal average guy#he had a love interest who was another teenage boy who was a would-be union civil war soldier#who died before he could actually participate in the war#and they were busy babysitting an infant girl who ALSO got resurrected because she was a fucking baby#and also like. saving the world at the same time#there was a fourth kid too i think. a 12 y/o boy with epilepsy who drowned#anyway this is all literally coming back to me as i type this. pecan my poor forgotten boy

prefacing this by saying im fine and its whatever and im mostly numb to it. but it kinda fucking sucks that being gaslit about my own sexuality leads to… doubting my own sexuality lol!
#purrs#just went to my first ever lavender graduation ceremony and had a convo w my dad after that touched on the EXACT horrors lol like i need to#learn to not bring this shit up around my parents bc they’re just gonna say the same things. and also it doesn’t matter bc idc about labels#and (to quote ricky) it’s a conversation not a constant. but like fucking hell. just bc ive never ‘’’’’’been with anybody’’’’’’ doesn’t#mean that i can’t know im not straight. the HORRIFIC psychic damage that did to me 5 years ago this month. the way i can’t think about#sexuality or being part of the lgbtq community since and like before then when that happened i thought i was a lesbian and was gonna try to#get involved with the school lgbtq student union . like it’s so ficking stupid and sad. and i can’t trust myself anymore i can’t tell if#anything ive ever felt for anyone is actually real bc according to my (straight and biphobic) parents ‘crushes don’t count’ and i haven’t#even had a crush in months anyway and yeah ive never ‘been with’ anybody. but like god damn. you DO NOT get to tell me i have to call myself#questioning. yeah im questioning but only i can call it that and only if i want to. i get to know me. i get to call me what i am. which also#means i get to work through the years of psychic damage this thread of conversation coming from my own parents has done to me#but i own that. i want to own that. ive had the feelings i have had. maybe they were wrong and misplaced and maybe there are other ways to#interpret them like me jus t having projection issues and whatever. but they were real to me and are real to me and shape how i show up#every single day. i get to know myself. i get to call myself what i am. even though you’re my parents you don’t get to tell me that. and you#should be sorry for how fucked in the head this has made me and how cut off i have become from other people who have felt what i have felt#and from the parts of myself that felt and hurt and loved. like lolllll. i was in a good mood and then that happened and now my heart hurts.#delete later#like i don’t talk abt this shit anymore for a reason 🤪✌️ i am not involved in lgbtq groups or communities online or offline for a reason 🤪✌️#and it’s yet another manifestation of impostor syndrome too like. ppl wonder why im like this…. there is a very good reason 💖

It always surprised Wilhelm to hear that little reminder, that affirmation, that he did not deserve to be shunned or treated as harshly as he was: Although he was a proud man-proud of his heritage, proud of his family, proud of where he came from-and was never afraid to say so, a man could only take so much abuse before he started to believe it himself. He tried not to let it get under his skin, of course, reminding himself that they were just narrow-minded people who didn’t know him the way people like his wife and son did, but still...
...it still managed to burrow under his skin like a damned tick. It burrowed, it planted itself in him, slowly poisoned him-it made him stop, second-guess himself, even when he knew he shouldn’t. It was frustrating, exhausting, and demoralizing, but still, he hung in there. Call it stubbornness (the hallmark of a good Pace), call it optimism, a sort of Pollyanna-ish outlook on things, but he reminded himself that the harsh words, the rude stares, the little whispers...they meant nothing. He let them roll off his back, and instead chose to believe in the little reminders: From June, from Randall...
…and now, from Emily.
��Thank you, lass,” he smiled softly at that: Neither do you, he wanted to say, but for now, he settled on gratitude for the kind words of this sweet siren, sitting in his bathtub.
#((he's totally kicking himself! but he won't waste another moment; he's already done so long enough!))#((and honestly; it's going to be HILARIOUSLY easy for dorian and emily to pull the wool over the eyes of all of louisiana!))#((because you're right; they-and both sets of parents-really will only see what they wanna see! it'll take little convincing))#((for the gracey and de clair parents to get onboard with this union; they have no reason as far as they can see))#((to believe that their children are being disingenuous; they completely buy into the notion that they're wildly in love with one another))#((and couldn't be happier at the thought! neither could've picked a better; more ideal spouse for their child!))#((and y'know; i could see beau and lena tagging along with the others! i think beau; being more of a father figure to dorian))#((than his *actual* father would want to be there for the wedding/be by his ward's side in this new chapter of his life))#((and of course lena wants to see her daughter get married and be a part of her life as well; so i could see her tagging along too!))#((and that's an interesting idea; the others sort of remembering their time as ghosts...but perhaps; like dorian; they chalk it up))#((to being nothing more than nightmares; not knowing the truth behind them? it's an interesting idea; i dig it!))#outofhatboxes#beatingheart-bride#V:Part of Your World

i LOVE being denied basic human rights lets bring that back
People love to go “ in the Soviet Union they picked your job for you 😭” yeah cunt that’s what we’re doin now too except they make you bark like a dog for three weeks straight first getting denied everywhere you wanna work until you end up somewhere you dont like anyway. Let’s just cut out that middle man why don’t we
#you american brained fans of soviet union dont know shit#america is a dystopian place but yall are so eager to jump from one tyrrany to another simply because you think that if ussr was usas enemy#that means it was the total opposite of your shithole#and as such infinitely better#no you dumb bitch#during the cold war the america WAS better#its just yall turned it into a fucking dystopia#“let them pick the jobs for us so we'll have jobs!”#yeah it dont work like that. you aren't getting shit.#you are getting a job on the other side of the country IF you are getting any job at all instead of waiting for 3 years#they dont pay you almost anything becausr why would they? you have no choice but to work there#also all the businesses are owned by the state#YAY!#except that means that a couple privilidged bastards that occupied like 15 countries own EVERYTHING there#and also you are not allowed to own a business even if you wanted to#no selling prints on etsy! fuck you#oh and also! the reason you are getting the job on the other side of the country is so the govt can control the population#and move people of the same ethnicity away from their home and vice verse#so they will have shuffled the populations around so that your country is not your country anymore#and then they can crack down on your language and traditions bc its no longer your country! see 100k people they moved in?#now those people are also the population and cant understand your language! so we cancel it lol

The real kicker with coming into people's lives late is that the mind goblin, accursed be its name, sometimes jumps out yelling "you're just a stand-in for someone else they like more or wish was around more". And sometimes it's loud enough to notice. And getting rid of it involves an icepick or acid but you want to keep the whole of your beautiful brain. It's alright, gobbo. We did it. We tricked everyone. We're the gum the glue the caulk holding this joint together.
#ne seri#[screams into a bag]#i don't really have a reason to be feeling it rn#except maybe the birthday and [events scrubbed] and pms unionized for another nervous breakthrough#remember when tumblr was a journal?#the fact that the only antidote to it is to.. believe? other people? is the worst part lmao
