ID: A watercolor painting outlined with ballpoint pen of a human heart. The heart has been colored brown, and the arteries have been drawn as the caps of Armillaria Ostoyae, a brown mushroom with speckled caps. the veins running over the chambers of the heart are dark brown. The painting has been titled, “Armillaria Ostoyae”.

Art that I made for @narcissistcookbook , who I saw in the flesh tonight :) they and their audience were very cool, soaring over the (low) bar set by the only other concert I have ever been to.

Republicans are always on the same page and their latest talking point is government waste and (false) claims of federal employees not working. There were no studies done on this. One day they just decided to wrongly victimize federal employees. Their propaganda machine is the slickest and best funded of any in history. After a few days of lambasting federal workers the public now believes federal employees aren’t working.

The truth is federal employees are overworked and underpaid just like everyone else in America. The reverse only being true for CEOs. This is the same thing that Republicans did to teachers in the late 90’s into the early 2000’s. That was so successful that even progressive liberals like most of you believe without a second thought. The goal then was to reduce costs and privatize to enrich oligarchs.

So what is the endgame for Republican oligarchs now. Same as it always is. Remove regulations, and even whole governmental agencies, so there is no oversight over businesses. Without government oversight capitalism runs amok and saves billions of dollars per year at the expense of the consumer, the workforce, and the environment. Some of the agencies will be privatized allowing the oligarchs to gorge themselves even further on your tax dollars.

The oligarchs are the puppeteers pulling the strings of their Republican pawns. They are the enemy and it’s as simple as that. It’s all about money and everything else is a smokescreen to distract the masses from seeing money and power being transferred to the 1%.

The culture wars are just a tool to divide us and cover their. Look and dagger theft. The racists, the religious fanatics, the homophobes, the militias, the misogynists, the MAGA cult, are all just pawns to divide, distract, and ultimately conquer the country and turn us into powerless, voiceless wage slaves. It was always about money and power and will always be. At some point we as a people will have to directly remove the oligarchs or else forever be their serfs.

I think that we should bring back Sirius angst in Jegulus fics because as an older sibling who played a large role in raising my younger siblings, if my best friend started dating one of them I would be fucking livid

ANGST TIME!!

I feel like schnozmo and mama cosma would argue a lot growing up, and little cosmo is sort of caught in the crossfire :(

that feeling when the closest thing to a therapist you have is a ten year old who has no idea what is going on

[idontdrinkgatorade]

[pomribs]

[maslows-pyramid-scheme]

They only care about diagnoses when those diagnoses help them evade the consequences of their actions.

i'm angry crying rn bc as always whenever trump or elon is on the news the rest of my family starts giggling like they're watching a stand up comedy special. super long rant i had to get out under the cut, sorry.

i fucking hate this. i hate them. i hate the family that i was born into. they all claim to be so loving and accepting of everyone when that has always been the furthest thing from the truth. they've all used the n-word more than once (everytime with a hard "r" too), and for my brothers it's a normal word in their everyday vocabulary. everytime immigration is brought up everyone raises a glass and yells, "send them back to where they came from!", and hmm.... "i don't have anything against anyone who's transgender, but they should not be switching genitals, that's wrong." for god's sake if we have a family movie night together, i have to go out of my way to make sure there are no queer couples at all, even for minor/background characters. all because it makes them that uncomfortable to watch two people of the same sex kissing- (seriously, everytime i've watched a gay kiss with them i can physically feel everyone else's buttholes in the room clenching. the tension is so palpable you'd think someone just died). which, in turn, sucks, because that means i can't be who i am either. i cannot claim that i'm bisexual because nobody (in my immediate family anyway) believes me, because and i quote, "don't have any dating experience" which.... wow. what a great way to kick me while i'm already down and depressed, by pointing out my very nonexistent dating history and bringing down the hopeless romantic i secretly keep hidden away from all of you. because if i didn't then that would just give them more ammo to make fun of me.

so i keep it hidden. i keep it hidden... that from the bottom of my heart i feel about as much for them as they do for me- which if you couldn't tell, isn't very much. i keep my disdain for all of them hidden as best i can, but i think they already know based off how many times they've told me i'm "evil" whenever i get worked up about these basic morals they're lacking.

i've always, always felt like an outsider from my family ever since i can remember. from a very young age i always felt like there was something differentiating between myself, my older brothers, and my parents, and it's all unfolding like the crashing tides.

i've been living with my mother for the past 5yrs, and idk if i'll ever get out from her grasp, but when i do i'm not sure how much i am going to want to do with her. i always knew she was conservative, i mean... she was born in 1964 to my grandparents who were very religious and instilled their narrowminded beliefs into their children, but ig i just foolishly always thought she was..... different and didn't actually believe all these horrible things, that have only just now come to light in trumps 2nd term of presidency.

i don't think i'm ever going to keep in contact with any of these people again if i ever find my way out of here (my mom's basement). i don't care how cold it sounds, i've never felt the proper familial attachment to my family members. my father is a physically/verbally abusive pos that i don't talk to anymore, my brothers are irish twins, and i wasn't born until about 7yrs down the line, and we have nothing. in common. their one and only interest? sports. if they're not watching football, then it's basketball, then it's baseball, then it's hockey (which they're not even that interested in?). just one game after another with absolutely nothing else in between. which is... fine ig??? i mean whatever floats your boat, but as someone who's more artsy i don't see how you wouldn't wanna palate your brain with something fictional... but anyway i'm getting off track.....

i guess i should learn not go upstairs when the 5 o'clock news isn't on. even for a simple glass of water.

the temptation to write an autistic!steve fic but it's just me... projecting.

it's me giving steve every trait i ever had growing up that i didn't know was autism until someone watched me do these things at 18/19 years old and go "are you sure you're not autistic??"

bc no, i'm not sure. i don't know anything apparently. bc apparently nothing ab the way my brain works is considered "normal". and i need steve to be just like me fr

Me, age 15: Why is my brother so dismissive of me all the time?

My mom: Because he's a narcissist.

Me, remembering what causes npd: And who's fault is THAT, mom--
