Goose Shit by Evil Mary Oliver Who Lives in Your Head

You do have to be good. In fact, you have to be perfect. Having even one perturbation will disqualify you from going to the grocery store. You are obligated to walk on your knees  for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting, backwards, in underwear made of red-hot puff adders. You can't let that soft, fallible animal of your body love what it loves.   Are you kidding? Tell me about despair, yours, and keep telling me, and don't stop, or you'll completely explode and go to jail, and then hell. Meanwhile the world goes on without you. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of hailstones are beating down on your head, pouring into the buildings and deep gutters, the corpse-laden mountains and the rivers-- did you read that article about the one that turned bright yellow from pollution? Meanwhile the wild geese, hissing and shitting everywhere will not leave your yard. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, you can always get lonelier! And I can help. I call to you like the wild geese, harsh and intimidating, over and over announcing your place-- oop, sorry, never mind, someone else took it.

Why is my country being run by people who never outgrew being self centered 14 year olds like how did we get here

I mean I know how we got here because I was there for it but still how did we get here

Growing up during the Obama administration set my standards too high for how a leader ought to act.

Yeah he had a lot of issues just like any other president. I just assume that anyone willing to be president of the United States is at least slightly evil.

But at least he spoke in coherent sentences and at least pretended to have a shred of empathy. He surrounded himself with people that were so boring and competent that you didn’t need to hear about them most of the time.

And now the FBI director is a fucking podcaster

Why is respectability politics more important to Americans than anti-imperialism

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’m so tired, dude. I can be anti-imperialist and also wish that my leaders would at the very least understand the weight and importance of the situations that they’re creating. I can multitask. I can look at more than one side of a cube.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’m like if you’re gonna be a war criminal can you at least pretend to understand the full weight of what you’re doing and I don’t think that’s respectability politics I think that’s me being so so so so so tired alright I’m exhausted I’m sick I just want people to be nice to each other I want the death to stop I want people to take the death seriously I want the president to stop posting AI generated videos of himself literally shitting all over the country like am I the crazy one here or is that supremely bad and a step down from what we’ve had in the past even though the bar was already low

My workplace recently had a thing about ‘do you know how many days we lose to stress related sick days? Here are some ways to manage stress’ and it’s things like ‘keep a gratitude journal’

But I don’t know - when I started work, many decades ago, it was expected you’d start at 9, finish at 5. You’d get your lunch break. You are expected to give about 70% of yourself the majority of your time. The last hour of each day and Friday afternoon were quiet times. There was time in the day to hang out with your coworkers for ten minutes talking about anything, not just work.

Now you’re expected to come in early and leave late and work through lunch. Give 100% all the time, more if you can push it. Don’t take leave. Work every second of every day as hard as you can push yourself. Do not waste time in the kitchen just chatting. Why aren’t you working harder?

And perhaps we’re burning out and take massive amounts of stress leave not because we’re not keeping a gratitude journal but because we are all being pushed to breaking point consistently, day after day, until we snap.

The older days weren’t perfect. But there was an understanding that work wasn’t life, and we could relax a little at work and still get paid enough to live. Now we are expected to give everything we’ve got, then give more, and not get paid enough to do something as simple as get a coffee after work. Even our hobbies are supposed to be monetised.

I blame Reagan and Thatcher but also blame every business leader since then who thought that pattern of work was in any way sustainable.
