since nonbinary has had its claws and teeth and wings clipped by people who've turned it into the third gender of whats now a trinary, i think we should expand its definition; what if nonbinary means you dont subscribe to any binary
#no man/woman no sick/well no black/white no religious/secular no east/west no neurodivergent/neurotypical#no cis/trans no binary/nonbinary even (oh no)#no normal/freak no enemy/friend#no past/future#no good/bad#i was gonna say radical solidarity but when you google that you only get like. priests talking about abortion so 😬#um. why?#why is that#i guess it's the same concept just applied to different things#anyway radical solidarity with the living we're stronger together#sometimes i come across profiles of fellow freaks who want me dead#and im gonna stay out of hitting range im not stupid but im gonna stay on their side#i dont think we can afford not to#told on myself by calling it a side just then huh#i guess i still do believe in a binary#binary of people who try to control others vs the rest#im gonna hold onto that one im with the rest#still if theres people who want to control others but they dont have the POWER to do so#see: fellow freaks#then we're still on the same side until they get the power you know what i mean?#im not gonna attack my side of anti-control i dont think we can afford to#anyway

no ai generated content will ever compare to the absolutely cartoonishly evil plot to cut down trees to prevent workers from striking to get livable wage.
#tree law#sag strike#wga strike#also also it can be hard to admit but the US does set some industry standards so although im on the other side of the world its concerning!!#if bigwigs at US companies are screwing out their own workers what would this mean for those producing content in other countries?#what about our own local production companies that model american production houses?#oh we cant pay you a living wage cause thats industry standard. dont believe me? here is what a writer at X USA company at X TV show earns#also if you “cant afford” to pay your creatives a living wage then maybe you shouldnt be in charge#so yeah#i think this whole strike thing will affect more than just the US#just fucking pay your creatives

We're currently switch my cat's food and litter to try to figure out what's causing this weird mystery allergy she's had for the last like 5 years and I was kinda worried she wouldn't like the new food bcs you never know, but actually she likes it so much it's actually ridiculous. Cuz like when you switch a cat(or dog's) food you have to taper it like a medication, you keep giving them the old food but slowly mix in more and more of the new food while mixing in less of the old, cuz if you don't you can make them sick, and she is SO SO SO mad that I keep giving her ANY of the old food.
Whenever I go to fill up her bowl I first add in the old food and then mix in the new, and while she used to just immediately start eating when I'd pour her food now she just watches me do the first one, sniffs the bowl, and then sits back and stares at me like "uh mother it appears there's been an error" and then when I reach for the other food she looses her MIND and starts shoving her face in my way and meowing and getting all excited and she only starts eating once it's mixed in.
So like, glad she enjoys the new stuff at least!
#also it looks like her allergy is improving a lot but we're pretty sure it wasnt the food lol#bcs we switched the litter and she IMMEDIATELY improved a bunch#but we still dont think we've found the righ one bcs this one still is a powder kinda and it kicks up dust#and she does still sneeze and scratch her ears more than she should#so we're gonna try this pellet stuff next and see if it works#and I guess we can keep getting her the new food too bcs she really seems to like it lmaoooo#I do hope this is it tho bcs the vet told us we could try this hypoallergenic special prescription cat food#AND BY GOD IS THAT SHIT EXPENSIVE HOLY FUCK#like we could afford it if we really stretched things but only barely#so fingers fucking crossed this fixes it!!!!

ITS A PIRATE GAME#im still thinking about. the whole 'real pirates dont steal' and 'real pirates are honorable' etc etc and calling the reapers wrong#but objectively they are the most piratey faction everyone else is just a privateer#IM GOING ON A RANT SORRY I PROMMY I LOVE THE GAME VERY MUCH#I WAS JUST SO EXCITED FOR A POSSIBLE NEW SEA MONSTER RARRGGGHHHH#instead i have just been finding out that the games story is fucked and convoluted and for some reason pirates have some form of morals#like.. idk how to explain it but its literally 'we dont do this for gold we do it for glory and we have to be nice about it'#dont care about the gold <333#SPEAK FOR YOURSELF!!!!!! I CANT FUCKING AFFORD THE SHIP PAINTS MY MAN!! WHY ARE THEY EIGHT MILLION DOUBLOONS!!!#sot#good god in heaven please grant us more ocean content soon before i go clinically insane and get put in jail amen

i think the consensus of the watcher situation is that people would pay a subscription service but seeing the content as it is now they cant justify
#and neither can i considering its much more expensive than six for me#but honestly dont reblog this is just my ramblings but i was never into ghost files#i always preferred unsolved the jokes and they were just wackier there idk#the only show i probably like is puppet history(which i see alot of people saying) maybe we can pay for it once a year#but i woild predict for that to be a terrible business model#because they need subscriptions all year round#idk how this would end up probably adding new shows etc to keep people engaged#but the hardpart like what they did with dropout was to get people who didnt know college humor who weren’t subscribed before to subscribe a#and considering that most of their fanbase is wuite young and cant afford food rn#they would have to rely on outsode their fanbase#but i also cant think of people who would sub ? like this vid was funny but i dont think normies who dont care aboit shane and yan would pay#so if they are alienating their fans the high likelihood of enticing a new audience to pay for content is low idk how this will end up for t#them#i guess to say is dropout was such an anomaly with game changer and dnd#but with the consistency of quality dropout managed to stay afloat#cant say the same for watcher#watcher#dropout#college humor#*#shane madej#ryan bergara

Magneta????
#my ideal: there's a gofundme or “therapy pool” where people can donate $20 - $25 so I can give peeps free coaching services#and down the road when I'm licensed have the same thing for therapy sessions#so then the people that want help most and cant afford shit out there can absolutely get services or try it out and see if it helps#and i get paid enough to not worry about losing my ability to help people cause I'm no longer in the pit worried about food and a roof#the thing i hate about this work is that i want to give everyone a chance#if we dont click and it doesn't work out that's fine but at least give someone a shot to try to help themselves#i hate that money is something i gotta absolutely think about cause im walking in the same shit as everyone else even though I'm a provider#cause my go to instinct is “person need help. help that person. if helping isn't working help person find another person to help them”#sorry for venting#2 client recently had to cancel coaching cause they just can't afford it right now cause The Economy (tm) which i totally get#i wish i could've said “that's not necessary. i can cover your next several sessions via donations from people”#im going off tangent#magenta#magenta is my vent tag

lizzie get two wolves 👍
#strato.txt#oil painting#wip#im worried ive unbalanced the composition w the second one on the right tho... its so much closer to the edge#ugh whatever. aunt lizzie is the focus here#i wish i knew what she actually looked like this is just cobbled together from general features of my family#solid build... dark curly hair... bigass ears. she could be one of my cousins. she could be me#ok rq im gonna lay out the story in the tags for anyone who hasnt seen the previous lizzie art#my great-something aunt lizzie was disabled and couldnt walk very well and she died young#she wanted to see the second floor of the farm house real bad but no one ever carried her up there and she died before seeing it#they buried her in a long white dress somewhere down at the creek. we dont know where her graves lost unfortunately#the night she was buried something wearing a white dress walked into the house and up the stairs and disappeared#and sometimes you can hear her down around the creek screaming#somewhere along the line wolves got mixed into the imagery for me#my uncle told me a story about another 'white thing' that was wolfish and would jump on cars#so i just assumed lizzie was a werewolf my whole life#anyways. i think her staying after she died was a manifestation of her desire for autonomy. maybe#maybe if shed had modern accommodations she wouldnt have felt the need to stick around. or maybe she would have idk#either way i think death afforded her control over her own desires in a way she hadnt experienced before#and i think thats why she still hangs around the creek#i hope she would like this. maybe ill take it down there and leave it out for a night when its finished so she can see

wild that I just saw a poll about the watcher situation asking what people expect their response to be and the option sweeping was “they won’t respond to it”. like. that would be absolutely insane. maybe a lot of people have become jaded by big corporate entities ignoring issues as if theyre just not happening (understandable) but watcher Very Literally cant afford to not acknowledge the situation. like yeah this was a very corporate-adjacent, out of touch choice they just made but they're still, in the scheme of things, Quite small. completely ignoring the backlash could/would very likely ruin their careers and burn everything they've worked for and I just don’t think that’s realistic
#kibumblabs#i just can not see why anyone would think they wony respond at all to the situation#mind you i dont mean adequately try and Fix it particularly. i mean give a public response of any kind. in general#but i mean even so- i also dont think theyll respond like. sorry we're not changing anything. sucks to suck.#because like i said. they Really can not afford to do that#granted i guess they wete financially stupid/reckless enough to make such a dumb unsurveyed choice to begin with. but.#i mean when your whole career is on the line. i imagine you'd have to get scared into backtracking a bit right?#ah. anyway it is odd none of them have said anything yet but hopefully that means theyre actually thinking through what to do/say before#accidentally implying something they dont mean or making personal emotion-fueled tweets or anything like that#they couldve said by now 'we see your concern and are discussing how to move forward'. or whatever but. yeah#watcher

sometimes it think of like doing adult things like get a credit card to slowly work up a credit score that would maybe be beneficial and then i look at any guide on how credit works and every basic info and i'm like. i would rather just die instead
#luci is lollygagging#like I know how to use one kinda (only spend what you're able to pay off within the time frame yk basic shit) but#also i hate the idea of it bc it scares me and i cant do math#and im not very smart so like idk how anything works in the world no matter how many times i get explained how it work#like what if i do something wrong#and “what's the point”#only reason to think of it is like moving out maybe but frankly#i do not think i'll ever move out we are trapped in this terrible house and we#can never afford to even apply for an apartment (which we cant do) so . grr#dream like is . small trailer home. i dont even want fancy house i just want somewhere that's mine#but if u dont have credit ur basically screwed#mixed w/ that and disability and the housing market it's impossible#enough rambling JIOSKD i hate the world

Y'all listen just because you learned something in school doesn't mean everyone else did. idk how y'all got this idea in ur heads that we all learned the same shit when literal book bans are happening in schools across the united states and certain subjects are being banned from ever being talked about. (do not even get me started on the fact different countries have different curriculum too) Like you cannot say "You guys obviously just didn't pay attention in school and are stupid because we all learned this" like you are ignoring like 50 other options as to why people may not have learned this ranging from poorly funded school to disabled kid getting shoved into special ed classes which are often notorious for mistreating their disabled students. I'm begging you all to understand the nuance of why certain skills and abilities aren't as widely spread as you assume they should be.
#text#some of you are creeping a bit to close to ablism and it's getting real ucomfortable#'everyone learned media literacy in school' except in the schools where they just told you what to think.#except in the schools where they didn't want you to learn critical thinking so that they could push an agenda without you questioning it#except in schools where books or subjects that would require this skill got banned and thus it was never learned#unless the school was underfunded and couldn't afford the proper materials to teach it#unless your teacher was bad and didn't bother to properly teach you#unless your teacher and school was ablist and refused to teach you#unless your schooling was disrupted by a sudden pandemic that may of forced you into an environment that made it more difficult to learn#unless literally anything else besides 'you didn't listen and are thus stupid' because i can assure you we were listening#maybe instead of blaming a huge portion of the population of suddenly becoming stupid or not paying attention in class#maybe you could realize that this is a failure on the American school system as a whole#at some point you can't keep blaming the students for failing when it's this many students#at some point you gotta realize it's the system and blaming the individual does nothing#btw i didn't talk about other country curriculum because I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how good other school systems are#but i know more about american school systems and how much they suck and so many of these ppl complaining mean american schools anyways#but i am aware of other countries having wide variety of curriculum and how weird ppl get about that especially with usa centrism online#i just dont feel like i can give a good enough commentary on that that other non-usa ppl haven't already given 10x better than i ever could

ngl something in my gut told me watcher entertainment was going to get fucked up somehow. i literally didn't think it was going to be them setting up a subscription service for 6 dollars a month or w/e (btw netflix charges this same price but with ads now) and fucking themselves over. hell! including the taxes alone would make it approx. 8 dollars, and i can't even account for the international audience who's equivalence of 8 bucks can equal up to them being able to eat, afford transportation, etc. (seen one international person say in an ig comment, not sure where they were from tho).
so yeah, sorry if i my heart isn't in it for the company. i got over rooster teeth. this is just another flash in the pan. so yeah. so long and thanks for all the laughs.
#watcher#watcher bootlickers dont interact#this really bothers me like. girlies we cant keep doing this.#like sorry i dont feel much sympathy towards people who had 55 thousand dollar weddings. own a tesla. and more#im not saying they Cant have these things. i just dont think you can do something like this and a large percent of your audience-#- be older teens/university age#i can barely afford to eat dude. i live w my aunt while im going to school full time wtf...#literally got on my laptop for this one
