#no but I’m legitimately shocked

[animalsandskyyy]

Wow people really can't stop confessing their love for you on ALL your blogs huh. Like, 3 separate blogs in 1 day. That's an ACHIEVEMENT

I knowwww… like i’m legitimately shocked

I swear, i’m really not that interesting… like at all

i’m very glad tumblr makes me appear that way though and it’s most definitely an achievement… just not one I’m sure I’m worthy of lmaooo

I just watched the new MAWS episode and it was so good!!! Kara and Clark slayed so hard and I can’t wait for season 3 >:D

My only request for season 3 is that a certain character goes bald 😇

Season 2 of HOTD is… frustrating to put it lightly, and Otto’s dialogue particularly pissed me off in E2. Like… my brother in christ, did you forget that you orchestrated the “hasty” coronation? And you DARE blame Aegon for that? And the fact that he really got pissed at Aegon for trying to get justice for his son (not in the best way, but still at least he did something because if my child suffered like that, I’d go full Mad Queen™) after Otto had Jaehaerys’ dead body paraded in the street while Helaena had to publicly grieve like UGH!

I swear, I just want one scene of Aegon being like

Also I think k-dramas have influenced me to the point where I’m able to enjoy Mansfield Park (1983) this much, because before I used to absolutely yawn at those slow-paced pre-90s miniseries, but since getting into slow-paced dramas such as Tell Me That You Love Me and Would You Like A Cup of Coffee? I’ve developed a better appreciation for the little moments, a longer attention span, which is why I’m no longer bored at those long conversations and slow scenes in older shows.

sorry I’m mumbling so much on here. I’m just sick of my psychiatrist and medical doctor bouncing off each other and not helping me when I’m trying to advocate my needs. I’m suffering here and I’m asking for help 😭

I just found out Amendment 3 passed in MO. Which….is shocking to say the least. I hadn’t even bothered to check since the other shit didn’t go as planned I figured there was no way. We love the very tiniest sliver of a silver lining. A win (for now) for reproductive rights.

that one crazy blog that’s always sending the most unhinged asks to people will always come into my ask box with their panties in a bunch like “LOL you’re NOT a lesbian if you’re thirsting for UGLY LOUIS who is a MAN!!!!” & various other things about how im not actually a lesbian because i find louis or zayn attractive & i can only assume it’s because of my url?but if i told them that my url is not implying anything about myself, but rather calling louis & zayn the lesbians i think their head would explode as a result of trying to comprehend that i’m calling two men lesbians.

The reason people don’t want to work is that it’s just normal for them to be in bad work environments.

My issue with working at Walmart wasn’t the work itself I was doing. It was the circumstances around it. The concrete floor, lack of places to sit, having to put up with asshole customers, not getting time off for injuries, and bad pay.

If I had been given shock pads to stand on or a few chairs to rest on sometimes, if they paid me a livable amount of money and I was allowed to yell back at asshole customers, if they had given me any amount of training, I would happily work part time folding clothes all day and telling people where the swimsuit section is.

I’m a creative type. I’m a writer. I’m pretty smart, even. But if I could make a living folding shirts and listening to podcasts in one ear and helping people find the scented candles for 30 hours a week? I would. Leaves some mental space free for me to brainstorm. Lets me catch up on my reading with audiobooks.

But instead I was treated so badly by upper management and customers that I’m like legitimately a little frightened whenever I step into a Walmart now. And I only worked there for three months a few years ago.

I’m a good lower level worker. When I’m treated well. I like finishing tasks. I like being helpful. I like having some time to talk to coworkers and some time alone with my thoughts. I’m a frickin team player. And that’s how I was at my first job. I was treated well by my supervisor. I was trained. They were patient with me. I was so good at being low on the totem pole at that job because I was valued and felt like I was being listened to. I was able to sit still when there was nothing left to do which made it feel less bad when we were on a time crunch. I didn’t mind working hard at that job because it was fun even though I was doing all the low level stuff that the supervisors didn’t want do.

But at Walmart I was like that for all of two days. Then I figured out that nobody appreciated my work and if I worked in my normal people pleasing manner I’d kill myself because their standards were high and the rewards for meeting them were low.

So I slowed down. I started avoiding customers. I started taking a lot longer to get to my breaks and to come back from them. I became worse at my job because no matter how good I was at it there would be no reward, no appreciation, and I’d just be pushed further beyond my limits.

My only level of happiness from that job came from the people who were working with me. The old ladies and my department manager who made sure I wasn’t overextending myself. The one other young man working in the clothing department who always got sent with me to unload the heavy stuff and commiserated with me about the shoulder injuries, the hurting feet we were too young to have.

But none of that was enough to make me stay. We were constantly understaffed. I was constantly abused by customers and not able to do a thing about it. I was not paid much at all. So as soon as I had enough saved up for what I was trying to do and my last semester of college was about to start I handed in my two weeks.

I would have found a way to stay if I liked that job. If I liked that job I would’ve pushed myself to my mental limits to finish college and keep that job at the same time. Heck that job could’ve been a rest from college. A place to get away from it. But I hate that job so I got out as soon as I could.

I want to work. I want enough money to live sort of comfortably. I want to have some tasks to do to give my creativity a rest. I want to be a part of something. But the way that modern corporate run work environments are set up does not give me any of the things I actually want out of a job. And I think that’s the same for millions of people right now. A lot of people would happily spend their lives as a waitress or an Uber driver or a warehouse worker or a farmhand or any other “low skill” job you can possibly think of. But with the way the world works right now those jobs are absolutely miserable. It doesn’t have to be that way. I know because I’ve had a fulfilling part time minimum wage job that I looked forward to going to every week. A job where I was listened to and allowed to sit when I needed to. I miss that job. Especially now since I’ve realized that’s not the standard. It should be. People should look forward to going to work or at the very least not get mild ptsd whenever they set foot into a Walmart.

While we’re on the subject “impulsive behavior” is less “I just ate an entire family size bag of chips 🤪” and more “I just swallowed 15 pills and I have no idea why, I don’t even particularly wanna die right now.”

I'll constantly see people list of disorders that cause psychosis and talk about how they're highly stigmatized and somehow they never ever mention bipolar disorder? ever? and it's almost certainly because people online tend to have this perception of bipolar as the "socially acceptable sad happy disease" and it is not. it is just not. bipolar disorder is so incredibly stigmatized and its symptoms go so much deeper than just "sad and happy"

did you know bipolar causes psychosis?

do you know what mania actually is? (hint: it's not "extremely happy"!)

did you know bipolar causes hypersexuality?

did you know bipolar causes aggression?

did you know bipolar causes generally socially unacceptable behavior?

did you know bipolar people are more likely to kill themselves in a manic episode than in a depressive episode?

did you know bipolar causes a thousand other highly stigmatized symptoms?

did you know that after my bipolar disorder diagnosis people started gossiping about how I was "unstable" and therefore "untrustworthy" and I was "erratic" and "a liability"? would you guess that these things were said by a progressive activist group who were "anti-ableism"? does this all sound like an destigmatized mental illness to you?

does it????

Something I hate is when if I’m moving blogs and I’m like I’m gonna try to do something right and not ghost everyone so I make a little post even if it feels attention-seeky because I want to feel normal for once and just want to be like I’m moving blogs lmk if you want it but then like 3 people actually reach out AHAISDODMDKDSOSK

Insane that there are people in your corner that you don’t even KNOW about

[thebibliosphere]

He sounded interested and even concerned. I thought he had been touched by what the doctor and advocates in the meeting had just shared about their journey with their patients and their own family members. But I was wrong.

“Those people . . . ” Donald said, trailing off. “The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.”

I truly did not know what to say. He was talking about expenses. We were talking about human lives. For Donald, I think it really was about the expenses, even though we were there to talk about efficiencies, smarter investments, and human dignity.

I turned and walked away

[from later in the article]

Donald took a second as if he was thinking about the whole situation.

“I don’t know,” he finally said, letting out a sigh. “He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.”

Wait! What did he just say? That my son doesn’t recognize me? That I should just let him die?

Did he really just say that? That I should let my son die . . . so I could move down to Florida?

Really?

[...]

Maybe I shouldn’t have been surprised to hear Donald say that. It wasn’t far off from what he’d said that day in the Oval Office after our meeting with the advocates. Only that time, it was other people’s children who should die. This time, it was my son.

When you’re legitimately so evil you tell a parent, your own fucking nephew, to their face that it’d be more cost-effective to let their child die because they are disabled.

Honestly, it's not the ableism or eugenics that shocks me. Donald Trump has shown who he is time and time again. I guess what got me was that he’d be willing to hold the same views for family members.

Usually these types of people make exceptions for their own. “It’s not immoral if it’s my abortion, I’m only doing this because I have no choice, mine is necessary” kind of thing.

But nope. Donald just straight up thinks his great nephew should die because it’s expensive to keep him alive.

Jesus Wept.

Fucking vote. Please, I’m begging you. As a disabled immigrant who isn’t able to vote I see so many people saying they’re going to boycott the election by not voting and I want to scream.

You boycott products by withholding money.

Not voting in elections only disenfranchises yourself. You’re not protesting. You’re giving tyrants power.

Please vote like people’s lives depend on it because they do.

If you need help figuring out how to register I will help you but please. Please vote.

Does anyone know how I can disable random ass posts from popping up every time I like a different random post that’s related to it via subject but at least was a reblog because this has been continuously happening and I’m a boomer with tumblr but I want it to stop since I’m seeing the most terminally online blogs I’ve ever seen in my fucking life and it’s also about stuff idgaf about it so it’s extra annoying 💀
