God looking to my future is hard

I dont know if my depression is genetic and inherited or if its environmental and inherited

Yall see the fucking news?

Yall hear your parents compalin about the state of the world?

I tell you what mercy looks like to me right now, God. Take me the fuck out. Make it not my fault so i dont have to burden my parents with that.

Nothing left for me to do but work and die i guess

If you dont take me out, God, you know that the state of the world right now will kill me just to survive itself

i think a lot about hot sauce and jeannemary. two young girls so ready to kill and to die. a comparison made all the worse when you recall that hot sauce lost all her family to the cohort, that she can specifically recall fourth style necromancy (using corpses as bombs). a fourteen and thirteen year old that could easily have been on opposite sides of the same front line.

scrolling the neil gaiman tag and watching some people craft these justifications for why they should get their homoerotic old man angel show is crazy. like bro THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU. this is about the women who were harmed and the man who got away with it for so long. like good omens does not matter right now. i understand the feeling of something you love being tarnished and potentially taken away but let us come back to reality for a moment. lets step outside and feel the sun on our skin. it doesnt matter when the man who created it is a piece of shit who will keep getting away with it if his shows get to continue on as normal

I never had a place that I considered home. But after coming here, I can sleep soundly until dawn. I don't want to leave again, I want to stay in the Walled City. This place will be torn down sooner or later. I'll stay as long as I can. The reason you can sleep soundly isn't because of the Walled City, it's because of the people inside it.

Does anyone have any favorite internet resources on food forest movement stuff? Academic stuff is one thing, but I'm trying to find things that are keyed to the pulse of what people are talking about outside of academia. I know a lot of that gets circulated here in the general solarpunk vibes zone.

part of my frustration that i'm trying to pinpoint here with concrete sources is that there's a middle ground here that has to be found between oblivious optimistic radicalism and like, the actual work it takes to *run* a food forest. I just read Make the Golf Course A Public Sex Forest and some of it is good, some of it is just "wow you have never actually gardened before, have you?"

The resistance organizations like park districts and forest services have to these well-intentioned, poorly-researched efforts stems a lot from the very practical logistics.

Yes, wouldn't it be great if you could eat wild berries from your local park. How the hell are we going to remediate all the lead out of the soil so those berries are safe? Yes, wouldn't it be cool to turn parts of golf courses into community gardens. How the hell are we going to remediate the decades of literal mercury application out of the soil? Those lawns weren't pest-free by default! Yes, wouldn't it be amazing to have a orchards in the city parks? Who is going to do the INTENSE work managing those trees? Picking all the apples? Dealing with the wasps and the mess coating the sidewalks?

There's so much good work that can be done but making the connections between the dreamers and the actual do-ers is overwhelming. Not least because many dreamers just love to talk and don't want to do. Meanwhile, the do-ers are terrified of getting their asses sued because some well-intentioned foragers are ingesting heavy metals.

guys im selling my sticker machine for $ to replace it with a different model of sticker machine and im so freakin nervouse. what if the fb marketplace guy that comes to get it does some cartoon villain shit and then i have 0 moneyand 0 sticker machine. wat then. aaaou

the thing is!!!! i intentionally priced it sorta high (still below what i paid for it) because i had it up for trade (i figure there was a chance someone with the machine i want was wanting to upgrade to a bigger size) and this guy wants to buy mine when there are like 15 other ones in our area that are way cheaper priced. im like whuh. why mine.

im hoping its just because i have it listed with a comparatively thorough description and a video of it working etc and not that this guy is tryig to scam me some how. im so weirded out.

there was a better way to go about this, you know. - Troy/Odette

''--sorry, only following what my scheduled programming has loaded up for me.'' the frustration had been rising within him and the retort was out before he even realized it, turning away for a moment to drag a hand along his features. he never liked to get hot, troy attempted to remain as neutral as he could but.. the little bit of willpower he'd been holding onto, had snapped. ''i asked nicely.. not my fault no one took the hint to walk away.''

My biggest problem right now is that I don't want to exist in the actual real world reality. All the things that excite me here are either unreachable or impossible to monetise in a way that keeps me even vaguely interested

I love watching people genuinely enjoy simulator games of mundane jobs. Like running a supermarket, or driving a long hauler truck. It just shows that people do genuinely enjoy doing these things when they 1) Choose to and have the freedom to stop whenever they need 2)Don't have the looming pressure of their entire livelihood hinging on the extreme success of this one task being completed
