im concerned because there are engineers that I will be graduating with that.
they don’t know anything.
and theyre gonna be engineers. with degrees. they might even get jobs. as engineers. building bridges or something.
and that’s a little terrifying.
we should all be concerned.
I am afraid I’m not going to get hired after graduation but I’m also afraid that someone will hire me and I won’t know what the fuck I’m doing
so I’ve been in a constant state of paralytic fear for like months which prevented me from applying to more than like 3 jobs and graduation is a month away

Vodka aunt v. Wine mom
The other day I saw a student wiping her eyes as she put her notebook away in the middle of the library, and later I heard the tail end of a conversation between two students, "...thats a symptom of depression."
Really can't wait to get out of academia and I'm not sure how I've managed to survive having my soul crushed but I'd like to get the Fuck out of here
Today I bought the correct kind of squash
My parents asked me for graduation gift ideas and I told them personalized m&ms because thats the kind of thing that really matters to me.

I thought I was totally straight when I wrote this
Yes I have a problem. No I'm not trying to be better. Restore all, dammit.
Responding to compliments on my appearance from other well-meaning activists and folks on the left, without sounding ultra left, a script in progress.
Him/them/her/(usually him): hey, I like your hair/outfit/eyes/etc
Me: thank you! Unfortunately it's rare that I go more than a day without some comment on my appearance though, positive or negative. I know your compliment was well intentioned and you were polite. I do ask, as a comrade/fellow activist, that you refrain from commenting on my appearance in the future. You did not make me feel unsafe, but personally I am uncomfortable when people comment on how I look, because I would like to be noticed for what I say, my ideas and arguments above anything else. Comments on my appearance, even when positive, remind me that I am being watched and judged for my appearance all the time, and political work is a space I want to escape that as much as possible. Obviously I don't speak for all women, and by no means am I saying "no one should compliment women ever in political spaces!" I am speaking for myself, and would like you to see me as an individual, a comrade, another person in the struggle against oppression and exploitation, not just a woman. And as an individual, thank you for the compliment, but please keep comments on my appearance to yourself in the future.

So what are your thoughts on the communist manifesto? Isn't it amazing that such an old document is still so relevant, still terrifies the capitalists, and the post war boom was the only reason they were able to so thoroughly squash the labor movement, the anti communist propaganda sounds so much more hollow, it's so much less effective when people's experiences with capitalism are so much worse, when Stalin is no longer there as a tangible threat for how much worse it could be, but instead Russia is capitalist and things aren't better, capitalism isn't working and Marx was like...

Unionize Target.
Unionize Best Buy.
Unionize WALMART.
I guarentee you the thing Walmart fears most in this world are their workers unionizing. They are royally fucked if that happens. I was subjected to a ton of anti union propaganda while there. I also bet anything that if it did happen, they’ll raise prices, and blame it on the “unreasonable demands of the workers,” to pit the customers against the employees.
We’re forgetting someone. Unionize agricultural workers!
Unionize domestic and childcare workers, they’ve always endured working in extremely atomized, isolated working conditions that leave them uniquely vulnerable to exploitation and abuse!
UNIONIZE EVERYONE
Look in the playing field of capitalism the corporations and owners have all the power right now. The government is sure as shit not going to step up and defend any of us any time soon. The only force of power in the world larger than corporations is the government and it’s nowhere.
The only option left is for workers to band together, because they can crush us individually, and that’s literally what a union is.
Unionize home care workers!
