Indigenous Hawaiians really had a good system going: wake up reaaally early and do most of the days work while it's cool and by the time the sun was up and it got hot the work was done and you're free to surf and socialize. I wish the white people realized they themselves could work smarter and not harder and get time to relax. Instead of calling Hawaiians lazy (and being genocidal about it)

h..i I'm not really on here, and not looking at notes rn, just letting u know i'm alive lol.

this blog became too toxic/enabling of me collapsing... too much social media is bad... saying too much feelings on social media without an idea of change is bad...

I think i may have gotten addicted to sympathy. (and then i'd say things and scare myself to death of someone saying something mean and it would be vicious cycle and I'd stay awake at night... ) because i didn't have much . like ever (or too much i don't even know

i'd be too much of a ghost coming back to this now... perhaps enable same cycle.

but i'm trying to m ov e for rward.. :D

anyways sometimes i wonder if i'm meant to be connected with people. don't get me wrong i appreciate my friends, but like my quality of life wouldn't go down too much if i hadn't met them. i like digging information out of people. they lose a lot of appeal once i know too much about them. i don't really have any kind of interest in pursuing any kind of relationship with people, romantic or platonic. i could take people or leave them. dunno

it's probably not a normal household thing to be fantasizing about escaping and going no contact

I can't believe I walked into my first (ish) day of work at a new part time job today and basically said "why are you all so white" 💀💀💀

I wish indigenous genocide, the largest genocide in human history, that's still ongoing, to the point the Canadian prime minister addressed missing and murdered indigenous women&lgbtq as a national emergency and an ongoing genocide, was trendy in one way or another. Not saying you can't worry about more than one genocide at a time but it really says something when Americans are put in motion by tragedies in other countries while they're pushing and supporting indigenous genocide on their own lands. "Genocide is so bad" *fully supports indigenous genocide*... It makes no sense to me how you can live in a country actively practicing genocide on its indigenous population, say nothing, do nothing, know nothing, and then act as if your support for other countries is genuine and not a performance. Ignoring indigenous genocide in America and Canada is the same as supporting it. How you gonna pick and choose which genocides to care about? Especially when one of them is your fault? Especially when one of them is happening right outside your own front door.

And maybe you'll be like "but if you don't trust businesses, how can you trust welfare?"

I fucking don't. My mom trying to get on food stamps fucked me up because a lady I never met without my permission got my SSN from my mom and started editing my files. My heart still races to this very second whenever I think about it, it kinda messed me up bad and I'll never ever ever see any kind of recourse

And I'm terrified that I'm gonna lose my medicaid just cause I inherited some money from my grandpa

And I've never even applied for disability cause it kinda doesn't matter finding out if I'd qualify or not cause of my depression, when the rules are so restrictive I don't know if I've even be allowed to keep my house

I do not fucking trust these things on a personal level. I feel like out of a lot of people I have the most to fear from them cause I'm on the edge of having things work, and that gets you punished

...but I need medicaid in order to have insurance (and when you strip out the finance side of medicaid, I love medicaid... they're honestly incredible insurance... I just... I just... dental is like 90% of why medicaid is so important to me, ever since I found out this state pays for it I've actually been able to do cleanings which is important to me cause I can't always get myself to brush)

And I think things like disability and food stamps are pretty damn important on a personal level, and honestly are also good for the economy cause they get people spending... it's practically a free cash infusion into the economy, cause these are people who need to buy stuff

There's just so much important stuff welfare does that it's worth dealing with government

No, what I want is more accountability so if someone gets my SSN from a 3rd party like my mom they're held to HIPPA styles standards where that's not ok to access my files without my permission (She changed my fucking address and tried to get medicaid to investigate me for fraud! Never even met me)

Like have some accountability there and in every situation

Secondly I want less punitive focused rules. I'd frankly prefer bezos get on disability than smack down some poor sod cause they got $2000 in the bank or cause their friend lets them live with them for free

If there's gonna be a cut off on these programs, it needs to be a solid step above the poverty line, cause... by definition I assume poverty line denotes kinda the minimum expected income people can reasonably live off of, and if you take away benefits people are gonna lose a chunk of money to covering that stuff themself, so you need a buffer before you kick people off

I don't fucking trust the government for a second, I've actively been fucked by them and on a personal level I avoid everything but medicaid and only that cause everything but the money is pleasant to deal with and I kinda need it (honestly if I was rich I'm not even kidding that I'd rather give medicaid like $400 a month than some insurance company, I sincerely like them as insurance)

But I'd trust them a lot more if they were less punitive, less out to hunt me down and gut me cause someone handed me a fiver or cause I started to get on my feet, and if government employees had concrete rules they had to follow that were actually transparent and enforced

Like 90% of my problems with welfare go away if they're held accountable and there's less "catch the welfare cheats" mentality going around

I don't trust the government in the slightest, but sadly there some jobs it kinda has to do, so I'd just rather force it to be an open book where the public can keep an eye on it and if they step out of line there's consequences (sort of like I don't trust most mega corps but happen to sometimes need stuff from them... did you know literally every cell service provider has been illegally selling shit like your location data to random people like bounty hunters, and the FCC just slapped them with a fine that's 0.02% of their yearly incomes and debated even doing that? I even can offer a source on that)

...I don't trust much of any authority cause they constantly fail me and kinda screw me. Don't trust doctors either, but I still gotta go to them, you know? ...they're just... they're real bad at listening... so many systems need systemic change

(You know who I really don't trust is the cops. I could point to so many examples. My uncle doesn't trust cops either, and he's an ex Fire and SWAT paramedic, he worked with them and we still got into a long conversation where he basically tore into them far better than I can)

(I don't trust authority that's not accountable)

[thecanadianweeb]

ok so apparently my intuition and anxiety about the next few years being the most darkest and horrible in modern times is actually true.

i’m scared. like to the point that i’m scared for my safety, identity and those that i know every single day.

the USA is literally gonna do an eradication of all and any minorities that don’t follow the rules of HIS reign and/or slaughter them just because of hate and misinformation.

it’s already happening to innocent children too. i met this child on roblox who was assaulted multiple times but due to a government that didn’t care about health and only hate, she was forced to repress the trauma.

this world has become a dystopia�� or is about to become one. those that live in the USA must leave for the sake of their safety and security.

when i said fight, i really meant it!

defeat this facist rule, do something before it’s too late.

this is your final message.

uh yk I don't like calling my own problems "stupid shit" because I know I'm not alone in them, and they're serious. and even if I don't direct that towards other people they'll get the same sentiment that their issues are also stupid and they don't deserve help. I'm not nice to myself but doing something for the sake of other people is enough for me

when r they gonna implement searching for song by mouth sounds

I AM LOSING MY MIND:

i grew up in WL, indiana with the phrase "SuperMan Helps EveryOne", whICH I THOUGHT WAS COMMON, PRACTICAL, MIDWESTERN PRACTICE BUT APPARENTLY AFTER READING THROUGH THE TAGS OF LITERALLY 800+ REBLOGS THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE REFERENCE TO THIS

I READ THROUGH 800 REBLOGS AND IF I HAVE TO READ THE WORD "HOMES" AGAIN I WILL SCREAM

SuperMan Helps EveryOne is the superior (lol) phrase bc it literally gives the lakes in order west to east / left to right, and is closer to their actual names: (superior, michigan, huron, erie, ontario) - sorry huron

also, everyone from the midwest in the notes was like "all 5, duh"

I was recently asked to name 3 of the Great Lakes during a mental eval and now I'm curious about just how standard it actually is for people to know them, so
