it always rubs me the wrong way that when people make fun of the british it is more often than not things that poor people and british people of colour do. like making fun of english breakfast for example i understand, it may not look appetising. but that's because it's a poverty struggle meal LMAO 😭 if you wanna make fun of the british then make fun of the racist xenophobic rich white english tories (because remember that great britain also contains countries that are colonised and to this day are negatively affected by the english, namely the entirety of wales)
"british" includes british poc too, and their status as a person of colour doesn't make them.. not british? so if you don't mean to offend marginalised groups then... don't say british people. say tories. say old white english men. say the royal family. please, have the sensibility and sympathy to acknowledge that the youth of britain are not responsible for colonisation or actions of their government and are in fact harmed by it as well.
#it's just very odd to me how people are very unwilling to learn why what they say is bad#and before anybody says anything i am southeast asian and have never been to britain#im from a country that has been colonised by the english and i still know that british youth#are POWERLESS against their own government#not to mention the cost of living#this isn't to say that americans are free to make fun of or that the british can jest about them all they want#but america-centrism has done detrimental damage to poc that live out of the us#sorry for the serious talk back to being silly#nanaonan :3

act 4 :(
@chipper-smol and i came to a realization
#THID FUCKING GAAAAAAAMMMMEEEEE#i have more i wanna draw but my hands not working orz.. maybe ill get around to it later idk#i finally FINALLY managed to get inside that star room.. my own clone!! now neither of us will be virgins!!!!#i dont have anything to go off of but when the journal mentions making another 'me' it reminds me of loop saying theyre like a mirror#theyre always able to read siffrins mind without actually reading their mind (or so they say) but maybe it could just be tone matching???#or smth like that.. idk if these two things are connected though so maybe its more like subtext#i hope im not the only one who made the childrens hospital joke when it came around to color lore part 2#im also getting the sinking feeling of watching siffrin toe his way near the deep end like bro is so so close to losing it#i feel like if i knew nothing abt the game beforehand and why siffrin is looping in the first place my feelings abt this would be different#cuz id be pretty angry too if ive been stuck in a loop long enough to feel like everyone around me is pretending nothings wrong#than the fact that i have decided not to disclose im in a time loop and that everyone is living this day for the first time#although i also get hes doing this for a reason and when u believe in the universe i guess it also comes with sunk cost fallacy#'this is the path the universe led me down before i even knew what i wanted so all i can do is double down' THATS THE FATALISM TALKING#puppy plays isat#in stars and time#isat#isat spoilers#isat act 3 spoilers#isat act 4 spoilers#in stars and time spoilers#sona#puppysona#friends#chipper#doodles

After still needing to unfollow people because of their smooth-brain takes about Mexico, I'll say it on main:
You have never experienced a driver death, or even a serious injury, and it shows.
Then again, you probably would have been one of the people saying that Jules Bianchi dying is a shame, but the idea that drivers can be killed is what makes F1 exciting. Wait, no, Jules was handsome, you probably would've wished it on someone else. Unless you didn't like him for some bullshit reason, then he would've deserved it, right? That's the type of shit I see in your posts and tags about drivers you don't like. Karma will come for you.
There is no reason for men with this level of talent to do things that intentionally endanger other drivers. It's not cute or cunty or a slay, it's fucking dangerous. At the absolute kindest, it's grossly unsportsmanlike. If you don't understand why things are dangerous, sit down, shut up, and listen to all the people explaining it to you. Maybe listen to the 19 drivers who agreed it needs to be addressed.
I hope you never experience watching one of these men die or get seriously injured, for their sake, not yours. I hope you can grow up and realize great drivers don't need to intentionally put others at risk without needing to personally see someone lose their life on a track.
#formula 1#kinda like how dr chose not to risk killing oscar at cost to himself?#i saw a george fan praising max and like do you even know who george is?#maybe one time lando won't back off and max can pay the price i'm sure that would be cunty and slay too#max verstappen#lando norris#if you can't call out your fave when they fuck up that's a problem with you as a person#lmao i know y'all are only mad at mentioning jules because of charles#you didn't live through the hell that was people excusing what happened to him as part of the sport and exciting

the hse's advice on covid self-isolation is such dogshit. 'you can come out of isolation after 5 days but don't interact with anyone high risk for 10 days' cool how do i know the person sitting next to me on the bus isn't high risk. the person in line behind me getting groceries, the person i make small talk with in the pharmacy queue. literally eugenics-adjacent advice
#before any cretin responds with the 'high risk people shouldn't be going out anyway' oohhh okay so you think high risk people should cocoon#in their rooms for 4+ YEARS so the rest of us get to live normal lives instead of idk enforcing comprehensive contact tracing paid time off#and proper isolation. not to mention the fact that high risk ppl don't just get to peace out from the regiments of capitalism most disabled#people still have to work because guess what? rent groceries utilities LIVING costs money and is often doubly or more expensive for disable#people. goddddd this makes me so mad. anyway#covid#.txt#covid 19

one thing I have learned about being poor is that you cannot for a moment stop thinking about it
#theres no peace#every little thing reminds me we are poor#seeing friends having electricity wifi heat food gas. it all costs money. and bills and fees and charges happen all the damn time#im constantly worried that i am measing up somehow or im not keeping track of my finances properly#the person handling our disability assistance application keeps coming back with question after question about my job#and i have so much doubt and fear that ive made some mistake in my answers that will disqualify us from support#and theres this sick backwards stupid thing where applying for and being on disability support is discouraging me from trying to make money#because the more i make the less likely we'll get support but i need to make money to live#its just fucked. and once we're on support i have to make monthly reports of my income so ill feel like im explaining myself all the fuckin#time#cus the system isnt built in a way that makes sense for self employed ppl who have business expenses to account for#sorry for the ranting i cant sleep#truly truly i think poverty is making me a worse persin#more anxious more resentful more jealous more miserable more spiteful#i have so little and there is so little i can do to help it#i want things in a more desparate and even childish way than i used to eant things#spend a lot more time fantasizing about magically having expendable income#not to mention the constant exponential guilt that comes from asking for help or recieving help. its guilt i need to unlearn but i feel it

Would anyone mind sharing cute things with me tonight? It's been a rough evening. Doesn't matter if it's cute screenshots or pets or plushies. Just something cute.
#Fuck UPS#They delivered my Switch Controllers to some random person#Grey controllers that came with my Switch an were just coming home from Nintendo repairs#So I'm out $80 probably cause I have zero faith in UPS finding them or giving me the cost to replace them#Which is going to make this week a little uncomfortable to replace them so I can use my Switch#Thankfully the bills are all paid#Just going to be a large chunk out of my food budget so nothing extra for me this week#Not to mention No One has the grey controllers anymore#So I'm end up with mismatched garish colors#An no I'm not buying knock off controllers that will likely die months down the road when Nintendo repairs their brand name ones for free#I'm hopping mad that they did this#An their Proof of Delivery is a blurry ass picture that looks nothing like any house in this neighborhood#My dad helped me walk our street and the next one over#Only one next street cause we live on the street next to the creek

Just heard about what happened to Inquisitore3 on Tik Tok.
To say that I am disgusted and outraged is an understatement.
I'd say that the three people who were directly involved in spreading false grooming accusations that led a 23 year old to take his own life should be held accountable for their actions, but as you'd expect, all three of them have either deleted or privated their accounts to escape the consequences.
How fucked up do you have to be to deliberately collaborate to ruin someone's life for kicks?

Direct investment in social housing pays for itself through social rents, reduced costs of temporary accommodation, and higher social wellbeing.
There is simply no justification or need for this cost to fall on current social housing tenants by raising their rents.
#cost of living#uk politics#not to mention this will push up private rents too because landlords use social rents as a starting point

"A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips" being said like that's a bad thing. How beautiful is it that the memories and experiences my body has gone through will be etched into me, even if temporary, even if it isn't "flattering"? Why would I want to be alive if it meant that I am not permitted to live? And why should I avoid myself like I am a sin, like I am a curse, worse than death and pain?
I will envelop myself in layers of care and love, even if it means that I am slightly different. I will continue to do so even if I am alone. I have survived long enough. I will rest now, I will find peace.
#mental health#mental health advocacy#recovery#body shaming#body shaming tw#fatphobia tw#disordered eating tw#disordered eating mention tw#i swear i will fucking hunt whomever came up with that phrase#pleasure can be temporary without it being cast as sinful and shameful. the temporary is just as important as the permanent <3#like... wow i kept a small frame throughout my life but at what cost. why would i torture myself with that#i will do what is best for *me* and not society actually. maybe i'm selfish when i say i wanna *live*#because i have survived without living long enough and i deserve to rest#(and you do too. you have endured and survived long enough. let your weary bones rest for once)

“Something’s wrong,” Inosuke says. “Obviously. I’ve never seen him this sick before,” Zenitsu says, lighting a lantern and pulling paper and ink from his bag. Inosuke shakes his head. “I don’t think he’s sick. I think somethings wrong.” -- Tanjirou will do anything for his friends. They need food? He makes some. They need encouragement? He gives it. They need help? He is already there. So what happens when he's the one in need?
In this AU, just the once, everybody lives! Or more accurately: everyone survives, living takes a little learning.

got thoroughly yelled at by my parents (well. mostly my father. as per usual.) Again over a monetary situation and really just barely grasping for any justification to not suck it up and kms already .Only reason im having a panic attack instead of actually doing anything is he was so mad he wouldnt even finish a conversation with me just hung up so I didnt get chewed out half as much as normal but I Know its still coming eventually. no helping it when he gets apocalyptic like this. and I was finally having a slightly better time these past couple days too. whatever karmic law I've offended please just take me now I am not stable enough for any of this. If you want me back in the cycle of reincarnation hurry up and commit Im so deeply over this death by a thousand cuts shit
#j.txt#im just. so so so unbelievably tired. how is this my only way to live. just keep forking over money to try to appease everyone#until I starve and not even be able to talk to anyone about it bc therapy costs too much and its fucking embarrassing to boot.#I dont know what to do anymore. how do I fix it how do I earn the right to be Left Alone why do I never learn to sidestep the pitfalls#whats so horribly wrong with me that even thinking of explaining myself paralyzes me with genuine mortal fear#to the point that I Wish it were actually a life or death decision. at least when I fail it would be easier#sui mention#vent

all these white klaviers have got me thinking... when i graduate and go on my self-appointed six month break i should do one plushie comm... i'll make you a plushie. why not. clearly the companies will not make you one you deserve. i can do it. i'll make you the little guy of your dreams
#.docx#i know people who might be interested bc there were inquiries for comms when i sold the cursed apollo head#but i said no bc primarily i don't/didn't have time. but also because it'll be insanely expensive#materials alone cost like 20 dollars and 1-3 days (w/ no breaks) of labor would raise the price even higher not to mention shipping#if i had a sewing machine things would be much faster and it'd be cheaper but i'm a handsewing girly we're all gonna have to live w/ that

So I'm moving across the country in the next coming weeks which has brought me to downsizing my craft bins and going through my huge collection of paints and wool and fabrics. If you don't hear back from me assume I drowned in embroidery suppplies.
#tai talks#im living my best life as a person who creates using multiple medias and forms but at what cost.#WHY DO I HAVE 10 EMBROIDERY HOOPS. I DONT NEED THAT MANY.#not to mention my collection of patches i still have yet to sew onto my patch vests oh good lord. somebody save me
