apparently youre supposed to perform. they love it when you perform. but it has to be authentic. they hate it when it's not authentic. but you have to perform.

personally, i get much more out of the idea that i am still worth something despite being fundamentally broken, than i get from being told that i'm "not" broken or that i can "stop" being broken. i already know what i am, and i know that what i am isn't going to change. when someone tries to argue otherwise i just know they're not interested in who i am. they only care about some imagined better version of me they have in their head.
what's the matter, capitalist mother? mad your child you gave birth to isn't a positive return on investment? grow up
ohhh, there's the problem. unfortunately hitting your money printer usually breaks it and voids your warranty. you're stuck with this one now
reddit how do you stop wanting to kill yourself and others when someone gets mad at you
everything is a recession indicator because capitalist economies are always in recession
americans are sooo desensitized to guns and sometimes it manifests in ways that affect your media literacy. like remember in the first episode of sherlock when john watson opens up his drawer and you see a gun in there and youre supposed to understand that this is narratively significant and conveys his suicidality as well as his willingness to skirt rules and laws but the first time i watched it i was like oh well theres his desk gun. lots of people have those
I've kept this blog mostly as a faceless drawing account, but I feel like at this point I should talk more about art related things I believe in. right now, I've been more and more annoyed by the way artists approach merch and their reactions to criticism
First of all, and I'll be blunt: the entitlement towards cheap global south labor from indie artists is insane. You can place whatever marginalized identity in your shop, it does not give you the free pass to hire manufacturers that refuse to inform you about the wages and labor protections of their workers. If the only way that you can do x product is like that, then you don't deserve to have x product as a merch option.
Enamel pins, makeshift plushies, acrylic stands, shitty tshirts and apparel... why is our community filled with dropshipping slop whos production involves labor abuses and environmental damage? why are we constantly playing dumb to these manufacturers being shady and then getting surprised they get in labor scandals? why are we coddling artists that its ok to exploit others for profit because a smol bean who just has no choice or responsibility ever?
If you aren't making your merch by hand or making sure the people making it for you are being paid properly, then you should get another job.
wow. you really jacked off to a photograph of a penis
?
Don't do this; it makes mustard gas!
this is actually a symptom of being punk

my very last post before the first ban.
For this game of dodgeball, I will be specifically targeting the gayest and most autistic among you to eliminate.
Okay so normal rules then
the more time you spend in active recovery from any given self destructive behavior or addiction the more you understand the common conception of the "relapse" as defined by a broken "streak" to be, like, so bad for one's own well-being that it would be funny if it weren't resulting in just a lot of misery and death
I told my girlfriend to think of quitting vaping as training her endurance by seeing how long she can run before she gets tired, then doing it again and hoping to go further next time. She said it really helped her.
the two kinds of tgirl are “infinite anger that destroys everything around her” and “infinite patience that lets the world turn her into a doormat”. and they both love giving the other unhelpful advice about how to manage their emotions
also this
"you only like her because shes a woman" yup "you let female characters get away with too much" yes "if a man did this you would hate him for it" indeed
"you were always such a good kid! we never had to worry about you :)" thanks! you actually should've, though. like about this specifically
It's striking how much mental health advice directed at kids and teenagers boils down to saying "you have to be okay with people treating you like you're not fully human because they're right, but it's okay because one day you will be human", then being genuinely surprised when it doesn't help.
"you have to be okay with people treating you like you're not fully human because they're right, but it's okay because one day you will be human"
“… and then you’ll treat the kids younger than you as not fully human and it’ll feel wonderful” is the part I heard too often after that.
i love when saki looks uncomfortable, thats the good shit 👍👍👍👍👍
If I may put on my condescending Marxist hat, the skill to choose which issues actually matter enough to fight about, and the skill to discuss your disagreements with ordinary people without insulting them are both more important and valuable skills then having the right position on racial identity or whatever lol. Without them you will never go far
