The goal isn't to live forever.

The goal is to create something that will.

[marisatomay]

might fuck around and read a 500 page physical published book in one sitting like it’s 2006 and I’m being bullied in middle school so I take refuge in the library and inhale books at a frightening speed that I have not been able to replicate since

I was 12 when black parade came out in 2006 and a lot of parents were freaking out about MCR being a bad influence and making kids dark and scary and edgy and at the time I was like adults are so dumb they dont know anything but now 13 years later I can say with confidence that being in seventh grade and perfectly imitating every word and sound Gerard Way said and made in The Sharpest Lives and Mama……….Really Did something to me. It changed me on an atomic level. 12 year old me post-Black Parade was not the same girl she was the day before. after she learned the lyrics to House of Wolves and started chanting “S-I-N” like a rabid vampire gremlin something snapped and now I’m who I am so

Fair.

Thinking about being a parent and finding my middle school aged daughter absolutely screaming “Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands / drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands Romeo ” like. Fair. Fair to be concerned. But Who Could Stop Me

The problem with the idea of 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep and 8 hours of recreation as a structure for a day is that it simply can’t work that way. If I’m expected to be at work at 9, then my work day must begin at 7. Allowing myself a rushed experience to wake up and get to work. And I live close to work. So either my recreation or my sleep needs to take a hit, but for some people it could be more. 8 hours a day, 5 days a week as a basis for full time work is honestly unreasonable at that point. Because it isn’t actually 40 hours a week, it’s 50 hours a week lost to a job, of which 10 is unpaid.

some of my coworkers have 2h of transit to get to work, which takes 4-5h off their free time. working full time is a bad idea and shouldve never been a thing

This is, it’s worth noting, by design.  

It’s perfectly well known that people can only really “work” (in that they can only consistently and effectively perform tasks and create products) 3-6 hours a day, for 1 hour to 2 hours at a time. Generally speaking, the broad consensus among actual researchers is to aim for about 4 hours a day.

The rest of these work hours, and the associated sunken time necessary to get to and from these work hours, serves one purpose:

It exhausts people.

People who don’t have leisure time are stressed. People who are stressed need conveniences. People who need conveniences will pay for them.

People who are stressed also don’t have the energy to fight for their rights, having expended all that energy in just staying alive.

And let’s not forget that maintaining a clean home and providing food for yourself takes over 20 hours a week (appx 20 hours in-house, and varying hours spent running outside errands) if you are completely abled.
