#unproductive

[tenaciouspoetworks]

Look at me... Still at my parents house, unemployed and no desire to experience something new...

Is this how I want to live my life..

[pearlssis]

everyone is travelling, going out, doing their fun little hobbies and i am just...rotting in my bed?

[luvfangirling]

did nothing at all today so I now decided after a day of being completely unproductive to sit down and write my fic.

Wish me luck!

Trabalho não-produtivo / Unproductive labor

Português

Você pode dizer que o trabalho X não é necessário à vida, mas é só sua opinião. Dizer isso pra desvalorizar um trabalho é moralista e antimarxista. Trabalho não-produtivo no capitalismo significa só que ele não reproduz o capital, como artistas, autônomes e profissionais do sexo.

English

You may say X job isn't necessary for life, but that's just your opinion. To say that to devalue someone's work is moralistic and anti-Marxist. Unproductive labor under capitalism simply means it doesn't reproduce capital, like artists, self-employed private teachers and sex workers.

Castellano

Podés decir que trabajo X no es necesario a la vida, pero es tu opinión nomás. Decir eso para inferiorizar a un trabajo es moralista y anti-marxista. Trabajo no-productivo bajo capitalismo es nomás decir que él no reproduce capital, cómo artistas, autónomes y profisionales del sexo.

Esperanto

Vi povas diri, ke laboro X ne necesas por vivo, sed tio estas nur via opinio. Diri tion por malgravigi iun laboron estas moralisma kaj kontraŭmarksisma. Neprodukta laboro kapitalisme nur signifas, ke ĝi ne grandigas la kapitalon, tiel kiel artistoj, memdunguloj kaj sekslaboristoj.

I'm so unproductive it hurts 😭

[violetsteak]

when you remember that person you used to be gut wrenchingly obsessed with exists and has a life (probably better without you) and doesn't think about you at all :)))))

have grown up in a household where most of the chores were done on the weekend that now when I'm living away from home, I can't take one unproductive weekend without being bored out of my mind

Did nothing significant today other than going out for a run because I feel like a prisoner in my four-walled room. The rest of the day was just about coffee and procrastination, I could not even bring myself to finish the book I've been reading for months now. If there's a writer's block, I think we can call mine as reader's block and it's stressing me out. Any tips how to get through this?

how was your day?? ^^

i'm embarrassed to say this - for like the forth time this week? - that i have, once again, not done much at all today. 2 out of 4 goals completed, and they were the 2 easiest ones at that (hoover my room + properly eat lunch without my phone distracting me)... (¯―¯💧)

me and my boyfriend have been really busy lately though, so even when we call every day, we don't really get to spend any quality time together. i feel like today we got at least a tiny bit of that quality time that we've both been craving. i miss the times before uni and my gap year...

i was planning on playing piano today, that's why i took a picture in advance, with my music sheet and all. didn't end up playing, because once again dinner was quite late and we've decided not to play any instruments after 9 pm, since we don't wanna inconvenience our neighbours. tomorrow i'm gonna try and practice during the day, that way, even if we have a late dinner, i don't have to worry about not having time to practice anymore!

i couldn't get myself to study today... but tomorrow i have another day off work, so i certainly have time. i guess since i worked yesterday, i saw today as my sunday.

i hope i'll do better tomorrow!

hope you had a lovely monday, i'll see you in the morning~ <33

I signed up to Cats Protection’s Craft for Cats Session which is going on right now. I woke up feeling dreadful and not wanting to do it. I signed in and conked out after 20 minutes and have retreated to bed. Everything hurts. I’m very sleep deprived. I feel horrible.

I now have two craft projects on the go because I couldn’t find the energy to finish the first one and now this is happening. I feel like my brain is going to explode and I want to scream because of having multiple tasks on the go and having ‘too many tabs open’ in my brain. Why don’t I just get stuff done!?

This and the fact I finished my painting 10 days late makes me feel like a huge failure. I can’t seem to cope with any tasks, even ones that are supposed to be relaxing and fun. I can’t stick to deadlines imposed by myself or anyone else.

I used to do so much. I used to do things on time. It scares me that over the last few years my ability to do these has evaporated.

Side note: I find it weird that I was told I have to be supervised to handle felting needles and scissors yet the care staff just left me alone with them and disappeared immediately (the council are paying for me to have 10 hours of 1-1 support every day and it is definitely not happening so the council are losing their money. I don’t think I need this level of support really but it is what they are paying for).

You're lazy and unproductive.

[thepariahcontinuum]

Having a cold isn't an excuse, I hate feeling unproductive and useless.

1, 2, 3, 4 seconds. Might just be her new record.

As she pulled away, that annoying face came into her view again. He was hard to see, as he was an all-black silhouette standing in a dark room, the only help being the flickering lights sometimes daring to lay on his suit’s edges and revealing where he was standing.

This time though, instead of a sabre at his side like always, there was a cane. A black piece of wood topped by what looked to be a...crow head… Inej blinked once; then blinked again. Nope, still a crow head. A silvery, angry, crow staring at her with those little bead eyes.

My unpopular opinion is that I think that some marginalized people who do problematic things on a constant basis use the fact that they're marginalized as a way to avoid and silence criticism for situations they've knowingly created.

They do this by spinning a narrative where they can play the victim and act entirely innocent since they know there will be a fair amount of people who will use their actions as the basis for making generalized and bigoted statements about their respective communities.

From here, their job is done as they can bank on the fact that members of these communities will quickly rush to their defense. In turn, they are distracted from their initial goal of holding these people accountable as most people cannot give equal attention to two issues at once. Rinse and repeat.

In essence, it's like if your younger sibling kept doing things to get under your skin and when you finally decide you've had enough, that's when they yell for your parents since they know that being younger gives them the upper hand in getting what they want.

I feel like this practice encourages marginalized people to engage in toxic and unjustified behavior against non-marginalized people under the guise of oppression and that people should "make space" for them to exist.

While people may say that they don't want to engage in "Oppression Olympics" or say that anyone has it worse or better than anyone else, the fact of the matter is that it's unproductive and harmful to these communities to spend more time and energy trying to protect people who are clearly attention seekers than on people who really need it.

Ironically enough, it's this same practice of making it seem as though the person you've been attacking is now attacking you, that oppressors carry out constantly, so it's essentially one big pendulum swing of who gets to be manipulative when telling the story.
