you’ve heard of DARK academia get ready for DRAINED academia!

the aesthetic is where you feel like you’re chained to the chair in front of your computer and can only bring yourself to mechanically listen to lectures. all joy of learning is sapped away because the material is now virtually impossible to absorb in this format. the anxiety from opening your class website is overwhelming, so you avoid it. often to your detriment.

you attend Zoom University.

do you ever get in those moods where you don’t feel like reading and you don’t feel like being on the internet and you don’t feel like watching a show and you don’t feel like sleeping and you don’t feel like existing in general

I get that swearing isn’t technically a sin but I don’t really see why people would defend it either.

thatjustmakessense

It’s good to talk about why it’s not always a sin because we ought to have a clear distinction in our minds between actual sin and things that are bad because culture says so

#sometimes culture saying something is bad actually makes that thing bad #but not always

My life is just a constant journey to seek warmth. No metaphor. I mean like coats and jackets. Getting under the sheets and standing under heat lamps. Soup.

#I boil water #and put it in water bottles #even on warm days #keeps me warm for a good long time

NOW THAT THIS EMAIL HAS FOUND YOU

I work retail, and have for many years now. I'm not an easily fazed person and have a Talk No Shit, Take No Shit mentality. However, I also have a pretty intense anxiety disorder on top of other mental health issues and when I started 6+ years ago there were some customers who got to me.

So, to all the workers facing Karens and Kens out in the wild, here's my advice - cry.

If you have the type of relationships with your coworkers and managers that will support you, don't try to hold it in. Cry like the overworked, underpaid peon you are.

Nothing terrifies an asshole Karen like the indisputable proof that their actions/words are affecting you as a real live person. They feel perfectly entitled to cuss out a cashier over a wrong order/no cash policy/ face mask mandate but when that person starts to cry and asks them why they'd say such mean things? A whole other story, my friend.

There's no way to make that situation look good to the manager they demanded to speak with, either. My manager literally got a security guard fired for being so verbally abusive he made one of her employees cry.

This strategy has multiple benefits -

1. You're not standing there trying to pen up your emotions, crying is a great physical release for negative emotions and you may very well feel somewhat better afterwards.

2. The person who precipitated the situation is forced to not only see you as a person with feelings, but also has to confront the fact that their abuse has consequences beyond themselves.

3. It can actually give your higher-ups leverage to address these situations. 'They yelled at my employee' is one thing, but 'They yelled at my employee until they were in tears' is a waaaaay worse offense. A good manager can use that. Hell, it can get a security guard fired!

tl;dr: We live in a capitalist hell but we can work the system and cry at work to shame awful customers
