Not even remotely, you used continuum to meane "coninuing"
That guy literally is an expert in the field and you're dumb as bricks if you think otherwise
Walmart is literally telling you you're wrong
The tarrifs aren't just on china, they're on, y'know, almost everywhere
Fun thing is we can just wait and see! A fuck ton of companies quite early on fired a ton of people even in preparation for the tarrifs, now that they're hitting, shit's gonna hit the fan even harder, I'll enjoy sitting back and watching, seeing what the actual math says will happen play out
Also yes rising prices are actively a problem, why the hell would wages change to match? He's literally increasing your tax rates and doing nothing to help the wages of anyone but the top 5%
It's funny you defend him when y'know
He's not helping you lol, he's helping his billionaire buddies
How delusional to people have to be that the guy who shafted the workers who built his towers and used the extra money to plate his toilet in gold, gives even the slightest shit about the middle class, he's literally actively shat on you guys before
Now of course he's putting people you didn't elect directly in governement who have no government experience
Including letting an unelected manchild oligarch name an official government agency "DOGE" after a meme based cryptocurrency
And you don't see why you're the laughing stock of the world?
Now, as your president wastes his time with useless policies that are just going to get blocked for being blatantly unconstitutional, everyone else will return back to their lives with their "tyrannical" governments, with freedom of expression, protection of their rights, free healthcare, livable wages, welfare for those who are struggling or disabled that they can actually survive on, and systems that don't allow billionaires to simply buy their way to the top
I'm suffering so much under my "tyrannical" government that doesn't give billionaires more rights than the working man, and literally let money run the country instead of democracy and best interests
How the hell is lobbying and the electoral college still a thing lol, you literally let countries pay to influence you and your politics, to charge you thousands of times the cost of manufacturing as you have absolute shit monopoly protection and you're sitting here whining about how terrible our governments are?
Dumbass, lol

we stay locked in
— alternatively, enhypen as (my) high school classes!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
PAIR. high school! enhypen x gn!reader (rest under cut) GENRE. humor, high school au, blurbs WORD COUNT. 1.3k total NOTES. hello enhablr i am BACK. sorry guys this is alternatively known as a super self-indulgent enhypen as my classes this year so i don’t crash out in semester 2 post
이희승 — lee heeseung
philharmonic orchestra. he’s there for the vibes (and to fulfill his performing arts graduation credit requirement) but he’s secretly super invested in music theory. the type to say “i didn’t practice at all lol” the day of the audition but still eat that shi up anyway?? people tell him to stop the cap but honestly, he has the raw talent to pull it off as well so nobody really knows. he WILL be that person clocking people who use the restroom for the nth time in the middle of the firebird suite though, but man, sometimes people really do need that bathroom break for their mental and physical wellbeing. as his stand partner, he’s really good at covering for you if you make a mistake and even takes mutual blame for coming in early even though it was definitely your fault for taking a nap during your 5-measure rest... he’s that one student who gets to conduct the orchestra when the conductor is absent (or “sick” on a vacation to disney world) and the ensemble actually respects him enough to take him seriously.
박종성 — park jongseong
ap us history. we all know this man loves history; he would actually be the type to read the textbook for fun and not just search up summary pdfs or upload the whole dang thing to chat gpt! i feel like quizlet would be his best friend and would probably terrorize all his other friends to build their quizlet flashcard streaks with him. lowk he’s just in this class so he can flex random history facts on uninformed people I’M SORRY he secretly enjoys somewhat resembling the “umm actually!” meme. but honestly you go jay, being educated IS rightfully a flex. i feel like he’d actually talk to the teacher after class just to ask a clarifying question or just to confirm something totally random; he’d be like “was there really a u.s. entomological warfare field test called operation big itch?!” and the teacher would absolutely love him for that. on practice dbq days, he’s the best person to have on your team — you know you’re set when he gives you the look and little nod that communicates that he 100% got this. 
심재윤 — sim jaeyun
ap calculus bc... THIS MAN WILL GLAZE THE HELL OUT OF AP CALCULUS BC. just like how he is adamant about his physics glazing, math is no exception. tell me why he’s legitimately taking advantage of ten minutes at the end of class to get started on his homework? put that TI-84 AWAY and look me in the eyes. he’s the one classmate who’s super nonchalant and sporty and sits in the back of the classroom, but is secretly an academic weapon. “jake sim, wonderful work. you were the only one in the class who got 100.” HELLO??? good thing you always go over to him for a post-exam debrief, because he’s basically the answer key anyway. during class, he’d be quietly doing his own thing and joking around with the people around him, but the teacher lets it slide. everyone in the class is conflicted between loving and hating him, but he’s genuinely so nice and is always eager to help the people around him who need it — that still doesn’t stop the entire class from naming him their D1 opp though! 
박성훈 — park sunghoon
ap biology. the one who spites people who obliterate the curve. he’s also the best frq peer-grader though, he’s going off of vibes! if you mention anything remotely close to the answer key, you bet he’s giving you the point because people suffer enough already. sunghoon is surprisingly good at the labs though, he managed to not kill a single fly in the mendelian genetics lab and he’s super diligent at counting them too. your other lab mates had exhaled a bit too harshly one time and the sedated flies went FLYING across the lab table from under the microscope — you swear sunghoon’s eye twitched because he had JUST sorted them all by phenotype. he didn’t say anything to them though, and just started recounting the flies again because he’s just a chill guy like that. what people don’t know about him is that he actually scores high enough to potentially set the curve, he just chooses not to raise his hand when the teacher asks for top scores because he’s #taking one for the team. what a legend. 
김선우 — kim sunoo
advanced journalism. producing a newspaper? more like an excuse to know ALL the gossip and put everything under the name of investigative journalism. it’s literally his JOB to be on top of all the school events and the niche hobbies and passions that students have, and he absolutely loves it. combined with his social personality and strong writing, he’s for sure the editor of the “spotlight” category. and honestly, he’s the best the school has had in a long time. his feedback is always something to look forward to too — as one of his staff writers, your drafts are handed back with a colored pen circling a particular phrase you used, with the words “someone cooked here” or “OH YES GIRL” written in the margins. he brings the best food for after-school mandatory work days too, from donuts to chips to canned drinks — sunoo knows that the people need the snacks in order to gain enlightenment mid-article! his pages in the newspaper are also the most visually appealing too, this man knows how to use adobe indesign. 
양정원 — yang jungwon
ap english language and composition. with how diligently he uses duolingo, i have no doubts that jungwon will succeed in ap lang. imagine if he applies that study technique to memorizing rhetorical devices? he would be reading something completely random like the instagram terms of service and going “omg wait guys this is anaphora” like okay english king. and the effort he puts in shows in his results too. when jungwon checked his grades to see a 100% on the timed write while every one of his friends complained for a whole week about getting an 80, he knew he was locked IN. he participates a lot during class discussions too, so everyone knows who he is. as a fellow #taking one for the team legend, he always agrees to be the sacrifice to share out to the class the table group’s ideas. also — something not exactly english-focused, but he’s also so alarmingly good at time management. like how is he maintaining a solid sleep schedule and clear skin while watching alchemy of souls during his pomodoro breaks? the world will never know. 
西村力 — nishimura riki
ap chemistry. hear me out he signed up for this class thinking he could blow stuff up. he did not, in fact, get to blow stuff up all year — the blowing was done instead in the form of a huge blow to this man’s gpa. like what do you mean there’s solubility rules, polyatomic ions, vsepr geometric structures and their BOND ANGLES, plus gas law equations to memorize?! he went slightly delirious mid-semester and came up with insane, unhinged references just to drill all the content into his memory, from connecting acetate (CH3CO2-) to his “esteemed rizz mentor” heeseung (3 letter e’s in his name and he breathes out CO2!) and imagining his friends on a fucking seesaw to memorize the <90 and <120 degree bond angles. he tried explaining his logic to you (rapping out the equation for the van der waals real gas law?) and you just went along with it. he actually pulled through though with a B+ at the end of it all, but he swears to never have jake in charge of his course selection ever again.

did y'all see the m. night shyamalan movie trap. if you didn't I am about to spoil the denouement. not for no reason but I will go under a cut just in case when I get to the spoiler part
but what isn't really a spoiler because it's the premise and established within five minutes is that it's about a serial killer, well played by josh hartnett, and his little teenage daughter, delightfully played by an incredibly charming and talented child named ariel donoghue who I devoutly hope has loving parents or guardians making sure she doesn't get ate by hollywood, attending a very big and exciting concert by the in-universe equivalent of like taylor swift or beyoncé, played by director m. night shyamalan's real life daughter saleka night, a singer-songwriter in real life. and in the movie the cops have found a receipt for a ticket to this concert at one of the serial killer's crime scenes, so they know he plans to attend and have set up like a cordon at the concert venue and all the venue employees as well as the star ("lady raven") and her entourage are aware of the police presence and of the reason for it and have agreed to allow the concert to function as a police trap for the serial killer.
(it is not made clear, at least to me, how the police plan to figure out which concertgoer is the serial killer before everybody goes home. they have a shot from a security camera of a tattoo he might have, unless the guy on the security camera with the tattoo isn't the killer but just some random passerby, and they also have an fbi profiler who keeps wandering around with a tummy ache face saying insightful things about the killer and his motivations. that does not seem good enough to pick him out from five million concertgoers but whatever. when the killer finds out about the trap he seems alarmed and feels the need to escape. so I guess HE thinks it's going to work anyhow)
oh and also the killer has a victim in progress locked in a room where he can use his phone to remotely trigger the release of poison gas to kill the victim. if he decides to do so. and the trigger is also on a timer I think so if they take his phone away so that he can't activate it then he also can't deactivate it and the victim dies anyway. I think
anyway events progress and it's actually a pretty fun ride thanks to the charm of the stars and the fact that saleka night is a pretty good singer-songwriter! but here's the spoiler part
the killer finally doesn't have any better ideas than leaving the concert WITH lady raven (the star) since her exit is the only one that won't be scrutinized? and so he ends up sort of kidnapping lady raven to his house, without any real plan (I think) of what to do after basically kidnapping taylor swift, just wanting to get out of the stadium at all costs
but at some point at his house lady raven manages to grab his phone and lock herself in the bathroom with it and log into her instagram or tiktok or whatever and post a live stream of herself. and the cool part is that the first thing she says is all the clues the killer has dropped in conversation as to where the victim is being held. and you can see the live chat over her face on the screen going "is this a joke?" / "I've seen a statue like that" / "she looks really scared" / "my cousin lives near a house with a view like that" and you can actually watch the collective power of her fans come together to find the victim and they actually save the victim!!! the cops are able to locate the house and find the room and get him out safe!
and I know the internet is a force for evil as well as good (and for neutral. it's just a real big force) but I love that so much because I love the idea that people coming together, working together on a problem, everyone adding what they can, everyone bringing their individual experiences and memories and voices to the table, can actually work! that if we all just keep speaking up, and saying what we know, and living as best we know how, in front of other people, and not hiding, and joining assertively and intentionally with the human project, we're going to get there. we're going to solve this. we're going to solve everything. the earth is a giant computer built by mice to calculate the big question of life the universe and everything and by god we are on the fucking job!!

As a literal black person, who is a leftist, who support gaza.(but now cant, but only verbally due to how broke I am)
This is what I was warning about, along the other issues about voting third party or Trump in "retaliation of the system"
Although I don't blame people who is affiliated by this genocide in any way or the Muslim/Arab community.
I was arguing with non-black leftists about me saying vote for Harris for damage control and to make sure you have the ability to help others while still able to protest.
When you are literally handing the election to nazis and white supremacists who doesn't even remotely gave a damn about Gazans.
When you are not been part of any group afflicted extremely by imperialism(Koreans, Chinese, Gazans, Plenty of African ethnic groups).
That or religious group that is expressly been effected by this genocide.
Either pro Palestinian Jewish people, Muslims and Arabs.
That vote "protest" sincerely doesn't matter in my eyes if you wasn't apart of that grouping.
It sully the message.
Then in my eyes as a black person, I never view it as "teaching politicians a lesson". Expressly when Money talks in their eyes and was more effective to continue to boycott.
Main reason why they listen to groups, solely groups protesting is because they are losing a market, clearly they dont care about that. Before the 2024 elections, STILL this is only really only effective at state levels where lobbying is high because they have to spend it on advertisement to win primaries.
I feel nothing for the republican party for obvious reasons. But I feel highly betrayed by everyone who says they are allies to black people yet allow this fascist asshole to hurt my people, to let him ruin the country and progress my people push forth.
This man knew what he doing, my people beg and pleaded. Did their best during that election to convince to save our home, we always put out a fucking hand and once more yet again our "allies" including non-black members of the leftist party spat in my hand.
Ignoring the hands, their hands, that also played in this.
Now everyone can't help nobody. My people is going to be afflicted highly, and I cannot trust nobody.
I have watched expressly on tiktok, where leftists who is non-black allowed their peers to be racists when talking down about nuances to black people while saying our reason to vote damage control to prevent this is a "zionist excuse"
Which the irony is we black people are also effected by Isreal in our policing system.
Constantly killing us, but just like Congo, just like black women who being sterilized in Isreal, just like black Muslims.
People forget us always.
Although I empathize with Palestinians or related people, never blame them or their reasons why to protest or be apathetic.
I want to clarify.
But I cannot feel anything but numbness and hurt prior after seeing my people hard work being pissed on by everyone I saw.
At some point a small part of me for all the people who allied with white leftists or people who belittled my people struggles to lie.
At some point I hope they get all the hate they deserve.
Morality at some point in my body. Decided to say it is damned, because if my people have to suffer again then I've silently wished everyone can get a taste.
Get a strong ass taste to never let the foundations of what makes a movement strong.
Is to NEVER twist the marginized people arms who is allied with you that is also struggling. With guilt and horrid behavior about their morality being in question.
This also applies to democrats of course with those types of leftists.
When expressly some people like black people, DONT have the privileges to vote in morality.
Expressly when morality is flawed.
Expressly when THERE WAS A BETTER CHOICE even when that choice is ass.
We wouldn't be here SCRAMBLING for answers, for help, for resources, for anything if we just had plan.
Because a collapse was coming clearly by the way the government voted on censorship.
But it is the stupid thing to fasten that shit.
To make it happen faster.
"American burn anyways" or "Every empire only last 250 years"
Still does my people have to pay? Does my people have to suffer, Does my brother and sisters have to starve to struggle to get a job? Rights be put in question to N-ZIS AND ZI-NIST?
You know how scary and serious this shit is? A south white African is in power with a white supremacist.
The same guy ethnic group that harbors that same beliefs as the white s-premacists here.
The same people who would enslave and had to my people.
The act to end imprisonment slavery FAILED in California, it failed and haven't been ended THATS actually in the constitution to what is allowed.
My people might be put in slavery again further more.
With now wages that maybe not even enough for even two jobs.
To situations where this powers private prisons.
To situations to where they may don't even need to hide behind such shitty conditions.
I encourage my reasons for people to vote is to provide time, to provide room to breath, and room to protest.
Now we don't have it anymore. Once this stuff settled in for about a year or two, maybe a few months.
It will have to wait until a collapse for people to actually put down this government. I'm praying my people won't be body bags for these "leftists" like always.
I'm tired of them. Tired of association, I'm still one but going to be cautious.
I fucking hate non-black leftist sometimes because they always quit or forget us after the situation is resolved with a bandaid.
This happen over and over and over.
Rebrandishing our words and warnings like "white liberals" then screech it, killing the meaning to the ground.
Like their conservative counterparts with the word woke.
Like I said I don't blame those Who is affected by the Gazans genocide afflicted on them. In general this is still the DNC fault mostly.
But I'm tired of acting like people who understand "nuance" didn't help flung us into hell.
That they really closed their ears and decided to guilt people looking away for a break from bloodshed in order to function another day is for "cowards".
Guilt people who have no privilege to really vote in a matter they can.
Guilt people and harass them for daring to ask and tell their reasons to why voting is beneficial in their eyes to help prevent this furthering of hell.
I have saw infant and black mothers rate for dying increased after abortion was banned.
Increase police violence after the protests was "done"
I have seen increased racism towards black people.
MY OLDER SISTER WAS CALLED THE NWORD PUBLICALLY and we live in a blue state.
I saw, I heard, I witness, I read the increase violence.
Our genocides getting erased in this country.
I'm not going to forget how these non-black leftists they mock good portion of black people aggressively dumbing down our reasons because "she is black".
I will remember and call them out about expressly the most racism I experience with my two eyes from the leftist community.
On EVERY social media platform.
You guys are the white leftists(of course hopefully not directed at OP)
Of course this chip in my ass isn't going to end my support for gaza.
May Palestine be free. Sincerely. Because there's still a lot of work to do after the ceasefire.
I can never blame you guys. Never.
they're talking about the ending of birthright citizenship but um the FUCKING 14TH AMENDMENT THAT SAID BLACK PEOPLE WERE AMERICANS THAT FUCKING AMENDMENT WHY ARE WE IGNORING THE FUCKING RACISM THAT LED TO THE PASSING OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT AND JUST SAYING THAT IT "ENDS BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP" AS IF THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF IT?!?!?!?! CAN YALL STOP REPEATING REPUBLICAN NARRATIVES I FUCKING HATE IT SO MUCH FUCK

sometimes I want to actually discuss politics at work but I’m the only black woman in my whole section (and most likely the only queer one too) and I know that it would most likely feel like talking at a brick wall that doesn’t realize its own prejudices

LBH probably follows SQQ around whenever he goes crime-fighting. Even if SQQ told him to stay home, he’s still going to do it. So, imagine Batman running into Catwoman and stopping her from doing some crime. And she flirts with him as per her habit. Something like, “have you ever thought about bringing a feminine touch into your life 😉😉?” Cue Binghe popping up, “HE DOESN’T NEED A FEMININE TOUCH 😡😡! HE ALREADY HAS ME!!” Cat woman: Batman, who’s this? SQQ, trying not to facepalm: my husband.
Asdfghjkl absolutely!! I hadn't thought of that that's so funny. Batman would know lbh would be there anyway but as long as he can spin it properly, something something reputation, his husband should refrain from getting involved. Fingers crossed.
Anyone he brings on patrol has to just. Ignore the chimney radiating malice whenever they get in a fight. Damien handles it the worst lmao.
Of course catwoman, being catwoman, has not stopped flirting with b since they met. He's completely oblivious, but all the Robins (bar Damien, it's so obvious he's his father's son) get so embarrassed and honestly it's a game to see how blatant or crude she can get before either he realises or Robin successfully drags him away (or they arrest her). None of them really take it seriously anymore.
Until lbh arrives.
There's the normal chase scene across rooftops, ignoring taunts and teases, and then Spoiler cuts her off and there's a brief tussle. She starts her routine (my, you're looking awfully tense today. Cat got your tounge?) and generally making everyone on comms roll their eyes until there's a dark growl echoing from the overhang. Batman freezes and closes his eyes in resignation as a shadow drops down. Catwoman, as all women who don't know his reputation, immediately goes 'wow, that is a Very Hot Dude' and yes he's emanating aggression but unexpected flirting catches pretty much everyone off guard or at least softens the blows - and Batman isn't doing anything about him so he should be fine.
She tries to flirt with him too.
Unfortunately for the people on comms, this actually gets batman's attention. For the first time in the decade+ they've known him, he is noticing flirtation. And he is not happy.
Selina: *practically purring* ohhhh, who is this bad boy?
Lbh, This Close to pulling sqq off of her and tossing her off the roof: 😡 leave my husband. Alone.
Selina, who, having not successfully flirted with and lowered the guard of batman, doesn't actually know who he is:...... YOU'RE MARRIED??!! TO THIS HUNK?!!
Lbh, puffing up: I am - *batman releases her and launches across the roof to cover his mouth* ???
Sqq, abruptly realising that he doesn't have a secret identity for lbh despite the fact that they're having two marriages for their civilian and super sides, blanking: :) um. His name is. Um.
Lbh: I'm shizuns HUSBAND >:3
Selina, not bothering to get up (Robin pinned her down again), sensing a far better distraction/entertainment: oh? There's a lot of people who've claimed to have batman's heart over the years. Why should I believe you?.... Don't tell me you're just faking? Why, the batman I know would never take a lover.
Lbh: shizun? 🥺 Would you let this husband prove himself?
Sqq: no. I'm on the job.
Lbh, demon lord, married for literal centuries, fully down for any excuse to kiss his gorgeous husband: but!!! Shizun 🥺🥺🥺 don't you love me?
Sqq, reincarnated immortal, fully aware he is being played, also refusing to admit how much he missed him: hmph. Just a quick one.
Selina, in shock that that actually worked, watching BATMAN kissing an even taller man in a way that is most certainly not quick or chaste: oh my cats what.
Robin, age 12, having to watch his father and step dad French in full uniform IN FRONT OF THE CRIMINAL THEY WERE APPREHENDING: >:O!
(Everyone is still on comms. They are hearing it all.)

god help me i'm going insane about dickson xenoblade again
#this is what i get for thinking about lord of the rings too hard this week (specifically denethor / gríma / saruman and the like)#thinking about the way anthony may delivered “when will you learn you HAVE no future?”#he thinks shulk is fully DEAD at that point. he thinks HE killed him. which he very much meant to. but now that the kid is no longer there#now that the terrible future he's been preparing for and actively working to bring about has in fact come about#i don't know that dickson really cared anymore. he played his part he did the deed expected and he did it unquestioningly. So What Now?#well. now nothing. now the world that he spent so long biding his time in; so long getting enmeshed in (even for nefarious purposes)#is about to end; is about to be gone forever.#sure zanza will probably just create another world and maybe he (dickson) will have Even More Power in the new one#(though that's not a given! he doesn't know for SURE his lord and god will keep his promise!)#but like. what the hell does he care at this point#dickson SAYS he wants power but i suspect that long long ago what the giant dickson really wanted was SURVIVAL.#we never get to know just how he became a disciple or what the giant civilization looked like in its heyday or how it ended#but in MY headcanon dickson saw that some kind of destruction coming and he wanted Out#and maybe he hated his peers and figured any power and prestige that came from this bargain was just a bonus#i think he thought of himself as a saruman type: powerful; remote; far above the petty troubles of mortals (even the long-lived high entia)#but i have always headcanoned that by his later days (i.e. when he started engaging w/colony 9; machina village; etc. in earnest)#he committed too hard to the bit and started “going native” as it were; started to give a shit in ways that he would never dare admit#maybe not as much of a shit as; you know; a regular guy would. but more than an immortal disciple and horseman of the apocalypse should.#and all the time knowing that all the world he'd seen would soon be gone#maybe everyone else can get fucked. but shulk had to die too. and that's what their god MADE them to do.#he can't allow himself to care or to hope for another option bc in his mind it's already over; decided; that's it#what else can you do in the face of ultimate power but bow to it and take whatever scraps may fall to an obedient servant?#“you have no future” nor does he except that shulk came back. except that the peoples of bionis/mechonis just wouldn't accept Fate.#and in some final rebellious corner of his mind he starts putting eggs in shulk's basket. “if they can't even defeat telethia they won't#stand a chance against me (or zanza)” so let's see if they CAN. oh they did? how about a dragon? oh fuck they defeated the dragon too?#well fuck. maybe there WAS another option all along. but will/can they stand against me; the final disciple? oh they can??#guess i'll die then bc i'm not looking THAT in the face. i am NOT unpacking my cowardice/failure/lack of vision after all these years.#good luck with that tho <3 you're welcome for the training btw. where i'm going i don't have to see your trauma assuming you live that long.#dickson#xenoblade

If I don't find a new job before September, it's gonna be 9 straight weeks of polls starting in September, every weekend of September and October (including the weekend of Housemate's bday, and the weekend leading up to Election Day)
In addition, no cancels or sick days will be allowed for that period of time. Any cancels or sick call outs will result in disciplinary actions up to a fast tracked firing (to be fair they didn't say this exactly, but the Implication in this part of the email is quite strong lmao.)
Anyone wanna hire me on to do literally anything? Dig holes? Clean your house? Shine your shoes? Feed your cat/dog/fish/cow/etc? Stare at a pot of boiling water for your dinner? Paint your living room then stand there and watch the paint dry then repaint it a different colour and watch it dry again? Anything at all, anything you want, anything-
#text post#i want to think I will have a new job before then bc ive been trying to force myself to be optimistic abt the job things#that said. been trying to feel that way for months and it doesn't seem to be working or making anything happen (which isn't a thing anyway)#despite my consistent sending out of resumes and cover letters to anything i might remotely be okay enough at or could learn quickly enough#so feeling less optimistic more worried and more utterly frustrated with this job#our polls haven't even been chosen by the big news outlets over the last few months!!! everyone uses AP instead (as they should tbh)!!!!#whomst in the fuck are we doing this for??? especially when so many of our questions as of the last few surveys#feel designed to stir up emotions and piss ppl off on both sides and treat it like a reality show voting portion#rather than the extremely serious election that it is#like. are we actually doing something useful here or can we just admit that polling like this to some degree#in its current form at least is a part of the problem#god im sorry i'll end the tag essay here soon but fuck me#i was juuuuust feeling like things were calming down and maybe I could get into later fall w/out major upsets/issues#so of course this is the best time for my manager to drop this on all of us#at least they warned us i guess. the bar is under ground and my manager consistently has a shovel#but he poked his head out of the endless hole he's digging to offer this warning before he pulls us into it with him#im so tired man

genuinely so angry and scared im shaking. how many other times this week this month this year have i been exposed without knowing it. do people even tell each other anymore. it’s just so grim. it’s so fucking grim
#purrs#delete later#covid19#i am fighting for my fucking life every day to stay safe and to keep the people around me some of whom are disabled / chronically ill /#immunocompromised / medically vulnerable safe. i am fucking fighting for my life. it’s already hard that i am usually one of two people in#any given room still wearing a mask let alone an n95 mask. hard and bad enough that we get looks for wearing masks and people think im crazy#for my life still being on hold and for my family still basically never going anywhere. ITS FUCKING WORSE that we are still very much in the#throes of all of it and we are in constant physical and quite frankly EXISTENTIAL danger not only of getting sick / becoming (more)#disabled / literally fucking dying but also returning to the absolute hell of lockdown which while important was psychologically damaging in#ways that are difficult to even articulate. like not only have we as a society decided to not give a shit about unpacking all of that and#healing from the trauma and assuming everyone went through the same thing when we very much did not and to just send everybody back to#school and work because 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑capitalism🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑 but we have ALSO decided to pretend like the freakish unceasing danger just doesn’t exist#anymore and to get rid of every tool we had available to keep us safe or at minimum make people have to pay exorbitant amounts of money to#access them because 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑capitalism🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑 !!!!!!! im TIRED. im so fucking tired of it. i am so fucking exhausted and angry and scared. and i#HAVE the luxury and privilege of being able to afford n95 masks and covid tests and to be able to work a job that i can do remotely if i#need to and to not be disabled or immunocompromised. what makes me fucking furious is we decided to throw all the people who don’t have#that access or privilege under the fucking bus and forget about them lol. but what do you expect from a country rotten to its core the way#it is lol. im fucking despondent. why are we living in an incinerator.#* the lockdown(s) werent just important they were necessary. and arguably we should have another one even though if we do i genuinely fear#for my mental health both during and afterwards and quite frankly before. im tired. i am grateful for the life i live which has resulted in#part from the different things that have happened because of the pandemic but i also so desperately wish this never happened and every day I#think about what life would be like if it hadn’t happened. the grief of it all is unspeakably big.

"A desk would fix me" is such a simple but truthful declaration... I see it, the end is in sight...
Lumbar support...
