So many generation wars on Facebook with posts about how "millennials and gen-z don't want to work" or elder generations talking about how they had to "bust their asses" to get everything they have now. Like...

I'm just trying to figure out why people are treating people who "don't want to work" as though they're in the wrong for that? Lmao working is HARD. You have to deal with people who don't care about your well-being at all. Depending on what type of work you do, it could be physically demanding and / or exhausting - even desk jobs simply because sitting in a chair all day is bad for the body. Also depending on what you're doing, you might not even be contributing to society in a way that's in alignment with your personal beliefs - I work at a bank. I spend my whole day supporting an application that traders use to make more money for themselves, corporations, and the bank itself. So I don't feel like I'm really making a difference in anything. But I took the job because I need to pay my bills. And I keep the job so that I can have insurance to help me with my incessant medical issues. All of which make me tired AF. Which results in me not having the energy to find something more in line with my values. But also the things that are more in line with my values don't really pay well enough for me to live comfortably. So there's that. If I had the health to work multiple jobs I would do it that way but I don't.

Why would anyone want to have to experience any of these things? Even the elder generations themselves - having to bust your ass for the things you wanted / needed? You wanted to do that?

I don't have a problem exchanging goods or services for the things I need in life. I just think that pretending that working harder than anyone should have to is desirable is ridiculous. Especially the way things are valued financially - at least in this country...it makes it really hard to feel motivated to devote 40+ hours a week of your time to working. Like no, I don't *want* to do that. And I'm not less of a person for admitting that. Especially since we live in a society in which people don't want to *pay* people what they are worth in terms of what they're contributing to society. A society in which a certain subgroup of people get to determine the value of another person's creations and contributions.

Teachers aren't getting paid enough. Entertainers...they probably aren't getting paid what they used to. Farmers are probably not getting paid what they deserve. Libraries have to fight for every dollar they spend. Artists may or may not get paid what they deserve - I'm seeing some videos about how they need to supplement their income with a 9 to 5 which, in some cases, can take away from their ability to create. Artisans have to defend their pricing choices all the time because people don't value their work, probably because of industrialization and the fact that most consumers are probably tight on what they can buy because they, too, aren't getting paid enough. So they can only afford to purchase the mass made, low quality stuff.

I could probably go on but I'm tired. I just wish that we focused on sustaining one another, caring for one another the way we did before industrialization and the advancement of technology. Not that things were perfect back then, or that technology is bad. The jury is still out for me on the industrialization front ;_; like yay for making things easier but if it's at the expense of the planet and at the expense of the health and well-being of communities as a whole...not so much.

I am just thinking about the times when people could get paid for hands-on work with measurable, tangible outcomes, rather than sitting in front of a computer screen doing stuff virtually all day that ultimately would be absolutely meaningless if something turned off all the electricity in the world suddenly. We are making machines do everything for us and, as a result, we are devaluing the human more and more every single day. We are actively coding our way out of existence. Or at least, the working class is getting coded out of existence.

Which brings me to something else - the fact that there *is* a "working" class that is shamed for not wanting to work as if there isn't an entire class of people who don't exploit the working class so that they don't have to work themselves 🤦🏾‍♀️. The hell? "Nobody wants to work anymore-" no YOU don't wanna work anymore and so you're trying to make me feel bad about wanting to live a more balanced life instead of working myself to the bone so that you can sit there in your fancy clothes and sunglasses on the beach in a far away land instead of doing your own work. It's usually managers or store owners (or rich people who don't want to do housework or other things) complaining about people not wanting to work, as though they are there wanting to do the work they're trying to hire people to do. If you wanted to do it you wouldn't be trying to hire someone else to do it. So you don't want to work either. At least not in that role. So how do you get to treat people worse for not wanting to do the same shit you don't want to do?

Like can we stop acting like working hard for something is glorious? It's not. Maybe I feel that way because I'm disabled. And I'm constantly fighting ableist thoughts and comments from others who want to say things like "this disorder is not an excuse" or "I have this disorder and I climbed Mount Everest and made it back to work on time so you're just lazy" - like...I don't even know anymore. No, I don't want to work through feeling like absolute garbage every single day. I don't want to disregard my mental health to make someone else richer. I don't want to do that.

Ugh for some reason every time I hear Tyla's Water song, my brain wants to hear Michael sing some version of it. Like obviously he wouldn't be singing the exact same lyrics 😂 though I would certainly not complain if he did 👀

Anyway, idk what it is. I just feel like he would kill it!

i wanna talk abt my ocs but i also dunno what to say cuz im still getting a lot of the story figured out aaaaaaaaa

[darlingboulevard-blog]

i told myself i wouldnt change my icon to ze again until ztd came back but that trailer from earlier got me even more hype and i had to change it back...it’s kanny again

[darlingboulevard-blog]

ok so like, i wanna talk abt my ocs and the tiiiny bit i have figured out for them

what i know so far is that all of them have powers due to being experimented on when they were younger. they, along with other kids, were kidnapped (or perhaps it was a case of their parents/guardians gave them up and got money in exchange not completely sure yet) and were put through many tests and such. i dont have a reason why they were doing this yet so that’s in the works. anyways different abilities manifested inside these children. some ended up being incomplete or useless and they were deemed to be failures and were killed. at some point blain ends up losing control of his power (pyrokinesis) and burns down the entire facility along with the majority of people inside. the only (assumed) ones who survived are himself, hazil, lexi, and jax. i feel like a few of the scientists and subjects escaped and one will most likely be used as the antag. so like, the four of them become really close and like a fam adn that’s liek the end of the story aspect. i don’t have anything else i really just have backstory kill me

as for characters i can give brief overviews of all of them

hazil archer

goddd i love hazil so much she’s so good. she’s the mom friend even though she doesn’t try to come off as it. she has super strength and if you fuck with any of the squad she will Kill You. she’s hotheaded and will punch anyone and even hits the squad sometimes cuz of how they can be. she’s that kinda person that has a resting bitch face you don’t wanna get on her bad side. she’s dating blain and she like constantly seems to be rolling her eyes cuz of him but she loves him a lot and they understand each other better than anyone else.

blain edell

my son. my child. blain is a pyrokinetic and is like--almost always wearing a mask. he acts really silly and dumb but it’s to hide his insecurities and fears. he doesn’t have complete control over his power due to being scared of it. he’s terrified that he’ll end up hurting someone else and that it’s just out of control and so he can’t have a complete hold over it. the incident with burning down the facility really scarred him. he was glad to have freed himself and the others, but it was at the cost of so many people. he constantly has nightmares about what happened but also about somehow killing the rest of the squad.

jacob ‘jax’ katagawa

BOI.........sk8er boi.......i love jax. i’m not completely sure on what ability to give him but for now it’s invisibility. anyways he’s so so caring adn kind to those he considers friends and would do anything for them. which is what his downfall is. he gives and gives and gives and always puts others first and will suffer because of it. he would give his food up to other people in the facility who he felt needed it more. probably still does that with squad. he and lexi are twins and they also had a younger sister (name pending) who was an avian human hybrid but was considered incomplete and killed.

alexis ‘lexi’ katagawa

she dresses like a white fuckboi and it’s jax’s fault. ANYWAYS lexi my girl. she’s the Cool Chick (tm). lexi voice aint you ever seen a princess be a bad bitch?? so she can control electricity!! you could say she’s....shocking :3c okay anyways she has two modes. toward the squad she’s really silly and makes a lot of jokes and just--loves them she loves them a lot. toward everyone else she is pretty spiteful. it’s really due to what happened in the facility with all the failed subjects namely her little sister. she reaaaally holds a grudge against the scientists (and kinda humanity as a whole) for being like this. why did this happen? why were they taken/given up??? she didn’t get it and she just developed a grudge against everyone else as a result.

[darlingboulevard-blog]
