“"Reds” Endeavoring To Work Old Catspaw Game,” The Province (Vancouver). February 23, 1933. Page 2. --- Police state that a plot, fostered by Communists to organise small hotels, rooming-houses and cafes against the acceptance of relief scrip from the city, has been uncovered in Vancouver.
Efforts are being made to get proprietors of these places to refuse to honor the scrip at its present value, so that city officials will be compelled to issue it in larger amounts.
It is said that threats are being made against any who may refuse to enter into the scheme.

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will
#svsss#scum villian self saving system#shen qingqiu#shen yuan#the fact that people think scum villain#-a series that examines and criticizes common tropes in fiction-#is somehow against criticism or being a little hater is wild to me#especially since shen qingqiu never gets punished for being a hater#heck- he's still a little hater by the end of the series#he mostly gets punished for treating life like a play and like he and the people around him are characters#(or in other words- he suffers for denying his own wants and emotions and his own sense of empathy)#I think some of y'all underestimate how much writing/art is inspired by creaters being little haters#like example off the top of my head-#the author of Iron Widow has been pretty vocal about the book being inspired by their hatred of Darling in the Franxx#I think my interpretation of Shen Yuan's transmigration is also supported by the fact that this series is an examines writing processes#side note- though i understand why people say Shen Yuan is lazy and think its a valid take it still doesnt sit right with me#i am probably biased because my own experiences with chronic pain and depression and isolation#but ya- i dont think Shen Yuan is lazy so much as he is deeply lonely and feels purposeless after denying parts of himself for 20ish years#like yall remember the online fandom boom from covid right?#being stuck completely alone in bed while feeling like shit for 20 days straight does shit to your brain#the fact that no one came to check on him + he wasn't exactly upset about leaving anyone behind supports the isolation interpretation too#+in the skinner demon arc he describes his life of being a faker/inability to stop being a faker now that he's Shen Qingqiu#as “so bland he's tempted to throw salt on himself” and “all he could do is lay around and wait for death” (<-paraphrasing)#bro wants to be doing stuff but is stuck in paralysis from repeatedly following scrips made by other people#another point on “Shen Yuan isn’t lazy” is just the sheer amount of studying that man does#also he did graduate college- how lazy can he really be#he doesnt know what hes doing but he at least tries to actively train his students#and he actually works on improving his own cultivation + spends quite a bit of time preping the mushroom body thing#+he's experiencing bouts of debilitating chronic pain throughout all this#but ya tldr: Shen Yuan's transmigration is an encouragement to write and not a punishment and also i dont think its fair to call him lazy

Uh oh, looks like Kris is starting to let out their frustrations on others, or maybe they're going through the stages of grief?
Either way, I'm very curious to see how things will play out with the overwhelming amount of new information put on to Kris in a short amount of time plus having to deal with common mortality and the little time they have to save their dad. Seconds are valuable, fighting would be a danger to their lives AND the life of Asgore. Loving everything about the comic so far, and I'm also excited to see how The Other Scrip will also play out!
The five stages of grief are more of a spiral in their case. They're continuly going up and down between anger and bargaining at the moment. Depression might be hitting at some point.
But yeah, we'll see how all of this is gonna affect them throughout the story. They just started to enter the Bargain-Bin Ruins. The unkown lies ahead of them.

Starting to kind of understand how people get to the point of not wanting to be on medication tbh bc like while things are good when all my scrips align I feel like there's fucking always some horseshit with my refills that has me going a week or more without one or more of my fucking pills and since they're all for shit like depression and ADHD and hormones I'm just always fucking discombobulated in one way or another and it's like. I know logically that this still beats trying to rawdog it but some days I really feel like I mean but how much better is it though. How much better is it when every couple weeks I'm dealing with withdrawal symptoms because even with automatic refills turned on something is always holding me up getting the medication I was fucking prescribed no matter which pharmacy or doctor or system I go through.
#today's mood brought to you by over a week without thyroid meds#wondering why i'm sleeping so much and the thought of doing laundry makes me want to start crying

if anxiety and the others successfully got back to headquarters how would the ending play out?
would it be like the sequel. with anxiety having the confront joy during her mania episode.
or would it end with joy returning to normal after being confronted by anxiety. but becomes so distraught with regret that she feels like she can no longer lead headquarters and disappears into the deeper parts of Riley's mind a day after the incident without telling anyone. leaving anxiety to reluctantly become their new leader.
I know the last one might sound a bit sad, but I do love a little bit of angst now and then.
also, I really love your AU. especially with how you tackled mania. as well as joy's decent into mania. from how she starts off looking fairly normal (aside from the eerie smile) as seen in the art with the new emotions trapped in the jar. to how she slowly grows into a tall multi-armed monster as seen in the comics. it's these little details that really elevate the AU for me in a lot of ways.
Thanks! ima give you a warning for a lore related ramble!
Yes I'd imagine both of those sanarios! they'd have to go find joy right after! I haven't written a scrip or something but yes that's how I'd though it would go \.
_____________________________________________________
Also, if ima be honest,
I'm scared shittless of presenting mania and disorders in general the wrong way, that's kind of why I'm afraid to make additions to this Au. the only real experience i have with disorder's is dealing with my mother's BPD and my own autism n' depression (sorry if i phrased that badly).
And as for joy's physical growth. that's mainly because of the disorder. for example, Anxiety looked fairly normal, but she would be "overgrown" and "monsterly" like joy if say, the person had an anxiety disorder. I want to make it clear that these things are serious and in need of external help to manage. Such as therapy or meds. If it was just a regular old attack it would be just a normal version of anxiety. I want to make it clear that disorder's like these are not to be tackled alone and external care is warrened ya'know.
(Like that one concept art where they presented anxiety as a dragon! i don't have an image but I'm sure you can find it!)
my ideas for these things were inspired by all the art of "disorder what if's" for Riley's emotions, depicting what happens when something ain't right in the body. such as depression, anxiety disorder, mania, social anxiety, etc!
_____________________________________________________
sorry if I derailed the subject, but I'm so glad you asked!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I am so fucking tired of this country acting like Appalachia is the issue. If you would take the fucking time to actually research you'd realize we were fucking doomed to fail from the start. We are having to carry the generational trauma of poverty. It has NOTHING to do with us ourselves and you blaming us for that shit is so stereotypical it's vomit inducing.
Let's look at some facts
By the early 1900s several different coal companies owned land in WV.
New River Company: owned over 70,000 acres of land in Fayette and Raleigh counties.
U.S. Coal & Coke: owned over 300,000 acres in Pocahontas county
Before the Great Depression 99% of the state of WV was owned by outsiders. Meaning 1% belonged to native Appalachians . Over 90% of the state had men working for coal companies before the stock market crash.
When coal was discovered in the 1800s during the Civil War people realized soon after they could make money from it. These companies would try to buy from farmers that had these lands in their possession for decades. When they refused to sale, these companies took them to court. Where officials typically sided with WV natives. Eventually the companies hired their own men and they would keep taking these families to court until they had no money left and HAD to sell. Afterwards there was no other job than for them to work for these companies on land they had owned to mine for them.
Companies owned EVERYTHING. the miners weren't even paid in actual cash just scrip. It was so easy to literally put them under the thumb of the wealthy while the provided the country with the most coal.
When coal companies finally began to have to modernize, a lot vanished. It left so much poverty bc so many of these towns were unincorporated. Meaning they had NO businesses. Which means no jobs!
In the 80s the US government released opiods into these regions specifically to see how drug addiction affected poor regions. We now have the HIGHEST opioid issue in appalachia. And you know why they did it? Because who cares about a few dead hillbillies who can't even get fucking jobs to feed their families.
And don't even get me started on how the media portrayed typical Appalachian fueds like the Hatfields and McCoys as "barbaric" and how it added fuel to the fire.
Fucking educate yourselves goddamn.

Today's roadblock is:
The Pharmacy; the doctors' offices. RESOLVED!
The issue is:
GAC/HRT doctor's office sent a prescription to the wrong pharmacy. Pharmacy screwed up a thing for my ADHD meds.
This problem was caused by:
Providers: Simple oversight. Pharmacy: Closing my location, so the prescriptions are being transferred and it's chaos, and all PAs had to be resubmitted.
The party likely responsible is:
I'm angriest with the pharmacy. Their issues caused the other issues. I'm assuming they had a reason for the closing, so I'm trying to be less angry. The other clinics, just whoever was putting through the paperwork made a small mistake.
The consequences/benefits to me are:
I'm tired from chasing this for a week. I have been without ADHD meds off and on for a week, which gives me BAD rebound depression. I got both issues resolved, however, so the benefit is that I get my meds and don't have to fuck around with it any longer.
The consequences to them are:
None, except the pharmacy employees suffering with a horrendous workload. The employees at the doctors' offices fucked up, but it wasn't part of a pattern for them. Everyone gets a gold star for cooperating today and promising to fix their shit.
I am feeling:
Tired. Glad I could fix it all. Slightly hopeful I will have all my meds this week. Perpetually disgusted that "I hope I can get my meds this week" is even a thing. Shoutout to the medication desk at insurance, who found the problem with my HRT scrip. Insurance as it exists now is survival gatekeeping and utterly repugnant (The Purpose of a System Is What It Does, therefore insurance -- even the nonprofit kind -- exists to neglect and harm people in the name of money), but these specific employees at least do their job well.

Hello! This is your friendly inquiry to answer this ask with whatever you'd like to talk about right now! Whether that be a story you're working on, something you're excited or worried about, or just something random you happen to know.
All the love,
~ toribookworm ❤️
Thank you for the ask!
I've put off answering this because I couldn't figure out what to talk about. There's weird stuff happening with my health that has me stressed, but no one wants to hear about my problems.
So. One of my current research holes. I want to write a story about unionizing the asteroid belt, but I need to know more about labor. I've got a whole list of books I want about labor, unions, company towns, the West Virginia Mine War (aka, the second American civil war the government worked really hard to memory hole), a biography of Mother Jones, stuff like that. I don't know how I'm going to afford all the books, because I've requested them from my library, but the library won't get any of them, and it barely has any books on the history of labor.
It started because I got to thinking about how a company could offer really great pay for miners and other workers in space, but all they'd have to do to trap people is offer them transport to the mines, then bill them for it. You don't actually start earning real money until you've paid the company back for your ticket. And meanwhile, you've got to earn your housing, food, environment, etc. Strangle communication back to Earth, only allow you to convert company scrip to cash if you're on Earth, and have people managing to support their families back on Earth while slowly sinking deeper and deeper, and you have to pay to get back, but how are you going to afford a ticket...
The stakes were high enough in company towns in West Virginia, where if you got turned out, there was nothing but mountains and other company towns that wouldn't let you in. Now you're in space and your choice is company colonies or literal outer space.
The most depressing part of this line of research, and something we've unfortunately seen play out in real time these days, is that the US government will never, ever show up for its people. It will always back companies and money instead.

Is Lili a Hypochondriac or does she have Munchuasen or both
She’s hard work with all her breakdowns and ailments.
<cracks knuckles>
First off, apologies for the 2 day delay in replying, I've been busy with work, etc......STILL recovering from my flu (pretty much back to 100%, but I notice I'm moar tired easily, still......or maybeeee that's just the extra cold weather/winter????)......anyhoooo, let's get to it, cuz the Peepster sure DID provide a LOT of snarkables over the past few days, amirite?
For starters, it appears to be a combo of depressed (again----and not making fun of legit issues, buuuutt.....I thought, her "spirituality"/SweatBoi had taken care of that?), desperately wants attention, over drama and an entitled idiot who remains breathtakingly unable to cope with life. Oh and looking to promote her latest low budget messy mess.....
Oh and she needs to probably just stop fucking taking bubble baths/wearing tight pants/cut down on caffeine because THAT'S why she's getting UTIs (and needs to pee after sex)----seriously, I used to get them all the time, too. I did NOT have some sort of exotic tropic disease, I needed to adjust habits.....AND it's like simply recurrent and needs to be knocked out with a stronger prescription (and she's probably managed to develop a significant tolerance, too)....
Anyhooo.....let's go to the direct posts, etc....with debunking for each. under a cut (already!) cuz lonnngggg.....
OML.......duuuuuudddddeee, you've BEEN seen for a decade, now! We're legit back to "you don't know what I'm capable of"????? That one's wayyyyy past its sell date, PP.....(and a shitty low budget movie isn't gonna change it).
Annnndddd......she made our country's descent into fascism all about herself. Gross. Especially since after KokeJ? She's the least politically motivated/most conservative person in the OG Plaiderdale cast. Plus duuddee, you weep/whine/whimper publicly all the fuckin' time....
Next, she uses the grandma she visited ONCE in over a decade's terminal illness.....KLASSSEEEE, Peepster!
And now we head into the pure dullness of "I have shitty health habits and don't properly address them or my MH issues, but instead trot this shit out when I want somebody to notice meeee"....And no, you're talking about "your health" because of you......(and already dragging your poor, dead grandma you DGAF about while alive into it. Ickyyyy).
Take some pain relievers, drop your shitty habits, dumbass.....also, funny how it's always her, with a new "trendy" condition, huh? I thought she had celiac disease/a likely brain injury/healed by reiki cult/something else????
Maybe finish taking all your bactrim next time, dumbass????
Ohhh....yeah, I forgot the alopecia, too. Ummmm.....dude???? Stop fucking bleaching and frying your hair. Seriously, it's all from your abuse of it. Go back to "honey blond" (or even single process dye it darker) and let it dry naturally curly. Once again, FIFY!
OMG!!! It's as if they probably all told you to take your antibiotics and change your lifestyle!!! Those BASTARDS! And turns out your dumb SM visit was completely irrelevant, as well....(which tracks).
Plus, again, what happened to your other ailments/"radiating and glowing with happiness and confidence", again????
Get a stronger scrip and finish it, moron!!!
No, one might say.....you have very bad lifestyle habits and refuse to apply basic common sense. AND get so many of these things you, yourself forget which ones....
The ER docs and nurses didn't treat me all speshul!!!!
I demanded they take me seriously!!! And paid XTRA $$$$ so they would!
Bet the speshulist prescribed double strength bactrim, hmmmm????
BTW.....fun fact, I used to get recurrent UTIs as a younger woman....AND ultimately, my gyno simply prescribed something stronger to knock it out, once and for all. He also advised me:
No sex during your period, always pee after sex, no tight pants/jeans, lots of fluids, limit caffeine, etc....dude, you are NOT speshul. SUCK IT
(wow she looks like crap)
OML.....it isn't remotely the same thing, you fucking moron. Also funny how you endlessly pretended everything was amazingly fantastic at the time, because you got enough attention then. Again, interesting how this ALWAYS comes out when you want/need attention, huh???? (and have a project to promote)....
Did you learn that from your cult, the other fake diagnosis your received or when you drank too much alcohol/mt dew???
Yes, because your barely managed a GED (if you actually even did) makes you soooooo much smarter and moar knowledgeable than someone who went through med school and residency....
Whelp, guess they didn't visit a "charming little German restaurant" together, then, hmmm.....Snorty???? Moar like a "charming little German ER".....
Also, he looks like crap and LBR, he's now her nursie (poor Cole) cuz she pays him....well, not $$$, cuz she doesn't really have any, but cents, I guess???
Also love this pic, cuz he's soooo not involved/bored/checked out....LMAO!!!
Errmmmm......no dude, you create "discomfort" for attention. And she's your mom, OFC she does! Also, you're mommeee's meal ticket, too. Love how none of her "besties" are mentioned, cuz guess they're too busy not wearing the slave collars anymoar.
Aww...there Peepster, now you've gotten attention again and can STFU. And not "wimmin's heath", but one woman being a crybaby....

tw dr//üg use
damn. the fact that i only bought my first bag in late summer and now at the end of the year ive gone through over 10g of coke.... like some of it was shared with 🌘 bc. im a gentleman and she helped me get it. so i cant say exactly how much went just to me but. at the v least 10 on the dot
started with a .5 and then a g and then frm there it was "this 8ball then i stop" and i only stopped bc i had nobody. and then there were more hookups and... 2 more 8balls but... i got shorted on the last one and im p sure he only gave us 3g on the dot at the most (tbh. prob less than that) so now i will be taking my scale to the next time. bc theres GONNA be a next time.
im so cooked chat. sooooo cooked.
chronic fatigue and multiple disabilities and depression and other mental illnesses living alone with minimal support anywhere but finances is.... fucking rough. and when im on coke its almost bearable. at the very least bc i can KEEP WORKING bc if i wasnt on it constantly half of this year... with our schedule?? and the huge increase in customers at the shop? i wouldnt have survived. were STILL late sometimes even with the blow so like. how tf are we supposed to do this without it! kinda fucked unless i get diagnosed and get scrip addy. but nah its not rly any kind of option bc thats money i dont have and i have more important shit to diagnose if i was gnna pay for that. ill just keep wrecking my body. what choice do i have? i continue doing this bullshit or i go die in a heap bc i cant support myself
ive still been taking the 7ohmz this whole time. thats rly never gnna change for a long ass time bc. i cant function with the level of pain my disabilities give me. if i get off them and have to deal with EXTRA pain frm the withdrawl? i gotta have a genuine 2 weeks off if i want off of them. ive def cut down a lot. but like. im still maining the downers with uppers combo like its my job (basically is atp)
i need that shit
this whole experience has changed my entire perspective on this drug. both of them rly but mainly coke. very much a love hate relationship. bc i love her and shes the best. but also shes NOT fucking worth it and will destroy your life. but i would still do it all again knowing this. at least theres not rly physical withdrawls so. i rly CAN stop any time. but i dont fucking WANT to. bc the mental addiction is bested only by its cousin crack and their weird uncle meth (which ive never smoked. but i have taken speed pills many times. and i dont wanna lose friends bc. i would if they found out just on principle bc that is a clear boundary. but i rly fuckinf would. i made so much fucking art on that shit and was working SO hard.)
i just rly hope i get her back soon its been not even a full week im fucking DYING i need it for the rest of my shifts SO bad im fucking exhausted and im getting more sleep than i have like all year consistently too. still EXHAUSTED to the point of having to drag myself around and im sure the 7ohmz isnt helping me there.
ok post over
please universe if u dont want me to kms. get me that 8ball TONIGHT

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for November 22
Morning
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed.”
2 Corinthians 4
The Second Epistle to the Corinthians was written by Paul from Macedonia, after Titus had returned from Corinth, and informed him how the Corinthian church had received his first letter. The news was of a mingled kind, and caused him both joy and sorrow. The apostle seems at the time of writing it to have been much troubled and perplexed. We shall commence our reading with the fourth chapter.
2 Corinthians 4:1 , 2 Corinthians 4:2
All underhand dealing and trickery Paul denounced. He said what he meant, and meant what he said. If we cannot spread the truth by plain speech, we cannot spread it at all.
2 Corinthians 4:3 , 2 Corinthians 4:4
If men do not understand the gospel, we must take care that the fault does not lie in our language; but wholly with their blinded carnal hearts.
2 Corinthians 4:7
The weakness of the preacher only shows the power of God when he uses such poor means to accomplish so great an end. Never let us refuse to do good, because our abilities are slender; let us the rather yield up our weakness unto the Lord that he may use it to his own glory.
2 Corinthians 4:12
Paul rejoiced that good came to them by his sufferings. He loved them even as a mother who strips off her own raiment, and exposes herself to the cold to screen her child.
2 Corinthians 4:13 , 2 Corinthians 4:14
He feared not death, for he expected resurrection.
2 Corinthians 4:13
His ruling passion was God’s glory, and this sustained him under sickness, depression, and persecution.
2 Corinthians 4:17 , 2 Corinthians 4:18
See how little Paul makes of trial; he calls it light and momentary; but how much he makes of glory! he labours for expressions, he cannot with the utmost exertion deliver himself. The way to live above trouble is to look up: we shall grow giddy if we look down upon earthly things, for they are tossed to and fro like waves of the sea.
Afflictions may press me, they cannot destroy,
One glimpse of his love turns them all into joy;
And the bitterest tears, if he smile but on them,
Like dew in the sunshine, grow diamond and gem.
A scrip on my back, and a staff in my hand,
I march on in haste through an enemy’s land;
The road may be rough, but it cannot be long,
So I���ll smooth it with hope, and cheer it with song.
Evening
“Willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.”
2 Corinthians 5
2 Corinthians 5:1
For we know not we think or hope only, but we know
2 Corinthians 5:1
Our clay cottage will come down, but our heavenly mansion is ready to receive us.
2 Corinthians 5:2-4
We cannot be satisfied here, for we are exiled from the glory land and compassed with infirmities. We await with expectation the summons, “Rise up and come away.”
2 Corinthians 5:5
God is preparing us for heaven, and has given us already a sure pledge of it in the possession of the Holy Ghost.
2 Corinthians 5:8
The exile longs to return, the child pines for his fathers house, and so do we pant for our own dear country beyond the river, and sigh for the bosom of Jesus.
2 Corinthians 5:9-10
With this is view, we cannot afford to trifle or to sin. Every day should be viewed in the light of the last day, and then we shall live as we should.
2 Corinthians 5:13
The apostle did everything for Jesus and his church, and if any blamed his actions, he bade them remember that love to them was the sole motive of all he did.
2 Corinthians 5:14
then were all dead or rather, all died
2 Corinthians 5:15
The death of Jesus for us has made us reckon ourselves dead to all but him, and for him alone would we exist.
2 Corinthians 5:16
Everything was spiritual, even his sight of Jesus with his mortal eyes was no longer cared for, in comparison with faith’s view of him after a spiritual fashion.
2 Corinthians 5:21
Are we thus made righteous? These verses are wonderfully weighty: do we understand them by personal experience? Are we new creatures, reconciled by Jesus, blood, accepted in the Beloved, and one with him? These are points which demand immediate inquiry.

Art Klaudt: Job interview at a telemarketing firm on Halloween with a man wearing Joker facepaint
Anonymous 1: complete nervous breakdown upon acknowledgement of death
ava: ran away from home under the influence of an ill-willed ex-friend
kate: I was prescribed an anti-anxiety medication for the first time in my life this year. I also finally worked up the courage to ask for a testosterone prescription. The endocrinologist was really uncomfortable to talk to. It was a televisit and she demanded my video be on. I was outside because it had been scheduled during work and I didn't want to be overheard, but it was also chilly out and I had my hood up, so it felt very illicit. She was asking me questions like she wanted to confirm I knew what T did and that it would be what I wanted. And I'll be honest, I didn't know if it would be (it wasn't), but that's why I was trying it out. All my answers felt deeply embarrassing. Anyways I got it prescribed and then the next soul crushing thing I had to do was go to the pharmacy and pick it up, and the thing is that it cost fucking $326 so I got a goodrx coupon to bring it down a little. Well obviously when you show up picking up a prescription with a girl name but the scrip is for testosterone their first thought is that it must be some kind of mistake. And then I'm there at the front of the line with everyone waiting behind me and they're like uhh are you sure?? and then I also have my little goodrx coupon for them to plug in so that's a whole deal they need to call over another pharmacist for help with, and that caused problems the next time I went to go pick up a different prescription and I had to tell them to switch it back to my regular insurance. But I got Androgel. And wrote the date I started it in the fog on my bathroom mirror. After a couple weeks I got scared that my voice was changing and my eyebrows were darker. I was also getting bad cramps. So I stopped taking it as regularly and heavily as prescribed, but I kept it around past its expiration date to use at times when the dysphoria started to hit hard again.
Anonymous 2: waking up to a message conversation telling me a friend had taken her own life. from fear at the first message to anguish & powerlessness. precipitated my first relapse into self harming
Lucas: Weirdly not many memories of this year, I remember I was smoking a lot of weed around this time though, no specific memories pop out of 2021 though
Anonymous 3: Lying down in the polytunnel amongst the radish flowers so depressed that I couldn't even stand up any more.
Anonymous 4: JV soccer with the best coach I have ever had
superswag: January 6th
v0w0v: Squatting in my girlfriend's apartment and hiding from the landlord. I remember the smell of vomit and soiled rodent bedding. Most of the good memories are from when she was in the psych ward or at rehab. I would spend long nights on the porch with her downstairs neighbor, chainsmoking and drinking and talking about music. He was a middle-aged metalhead roadie who had a pin-up poster of Joan of Arc.
