@emergentpattern going through old journals, this song was listed on a mix you sent and the memories attached to it. 💗

Just checking in....

My mental state has drastically declined since the beginning of the year. I haven’t felt this depressed in a really long time and have been having not great thoughts.

I have a lot going for me with the floristry stuff and will be getting busier and busier from now until the end of June, but this enveloping sadness and feeling of hopelessness won’t ebb.

I don’t know what to do.

[wisteriaburrow]

It’s like I knew 2020 was going to be the worst.

[wisteriaburrow]

This is what it looks like when you quit your job to focus on your full time florist business in the middle of a pandemic.

This is the floral hustle.

[wisteriaburrow]

I’ve been off work for almost 3 weeks now.

The first week was voluntary self isolation and I had to use my vacation days because our boss was refusing to close because she doesn’t understand the definition of a non-essential and essential business.

Then the police finally came and shut the shop down and we were officially furloughed for almost two weeks in which time we fought with her and HR via emails about filing for unemployment for us on our behalf cos legally in the state of Georgia that’s what she has to do.

HR finally says they have filed for us and a few days later are asking everyone to come back to work except myself and our manager. First they say they filed for us that Monday, then tell someone else it was many days later on Friday they filed and then guess what? I bet you can’t guess.

They didn’t file for us. Just told us they filed so we wouldn’t file for ourselves and report our boss to the Dept of Labor and now I have to go back to work on Monday because I have no other fucking choice because she thinks flowers are a necessity.

Flowers are great, I love them, I cherish them, I adore them, I’ve made a career with them. But are they a necessity during a global pandemic? No, they are a luxury.

I am so very angry and conflicted and feel like I’ve been boxed into a corner here. I really had to fight to protect my coworkers because none of them understood or knew the labor laws and what our boss has been legally required to do and nobody was looking out for them. We are a small staff at our location but they are all much older, old enough to be my parents and they would have just gone along with what corporate was telling them if I hadn’t kicked up so much dust about the way she was acting like the virus isn’t a big deal and she could “pray it away” because that’s the kind of idiot I work for. And at least 4 of my coworkers are very at risk for getting the virus due to underlying health problems but they are all so scared of not getting a paycheck and it is absolutely the most helpless feeling knowing that after being furloughed for just under two weeks she’s requested everyone back to work normal hours as if nothing has happened.

I want to walk in there Monday and quit so much and my husband has told me he will support whatever decision I ultimately make, but I don’t want him to the carry the stress of carrying us financially during this upheaval in the world. My moral compass has gone completely haywire with all of this and I just want to tell her to take her prayers and well wishes and her “we are here for you” hashtags all over social media and shove them up her tight Christian John Maxwell narcissistic loving ass.

i just love that little secret all women share. i love that even when a man thinks he’s got a woman who worships the ground he walks on, when he thinks he has complete control, that he’s the ultimate voice of authority and that he shits gold, that woman will privately know he’s stupid. even if she never says it, she’ll know

[bimbocracy]

womanhood is actually just an extended piece of performance art called “yes, mister, you are very smart”

[bimbocracy]

now you males out there may be thinking “but barbie, if that were true then wouldn’t all women be oscar-worthy actresses?” the answer is no. we don’t actually need to be good at pretending. that’s how dumb y’all are.

[bimbocracy]

you may also be thinking “well *I* can tell when a woman is just placating or patronizing me”. that is also false. if you can tell, it’s because she wants you to know she’s making fun of you.

Everything about this post is amazing

[functioning-minne-holic]

Manhood = knowing you’re a fucking dumbass, knowing that she knows you’re a dumbass, and cherishing the fuck out of her because she let’s you pretend you’re not a dumbass.

Sometimes.

I don’t know if it’s because I basically had a bottle of wine tonight and then some, but this post is disgusting to me.

Yes, lots of men are stupid, they have large egos that need lots of reassurance and stroking. They swing their dicks around without a second thought who’s gonna be in their way, they overcompensate, they underestimate, and they try to belittle those that make them feel inadequate, but NOT ALL MEN are like *this ^* type of man.

This is a dangerous thing to enourage other women or men to think about other men, or anyONE in general.

Women can be equally as stupid, as egotistical, reckless, as hard headed, as hot headed, as one track minded, and as vapid as men can be. To think women are above being *that* human is dangerous and ignorant.

Are women amazing? Yes. Are we a force to be reckoned with? Absolutely! But are all women created equal and born with the same amount of common sense, empathy, compassion, and intelligence as some other women? No. Fuck no.

Some women are just as bad as men and sometimes worse. Sometimes they are a product of their own bad environment they are brought up in, sometimes they learn from friends on how to be a shitty human, sometimes they get burned too many times by other men or other people and use being a shitty person as a defense mechanism. Sometimes other women burn other women down.

But to sit there and tear down Men in this way? All men? No. Absolutely not. Let’s not do it. Tear down those men who deserve it, but let’s not sit here and pretend that all men are like this because they aren’t.

Some men are raised right, or they raise themselves, they go through hardships, they love well, they love hard, they fight for what they believe in, they follow their heart, they follow their dreams and they don’t tear others down along the way. They create beautiful art and sonically good music, or change the lives around those around them for the better, they influence those on a dangerous path to live happier, healthier lives. They see and appreciate the world for the way it is and try to make everyday better than the last. They appreciate, love, and embrace women for who they are. They appreciate, love and embrace others for who they are.

Stop trying to confine all men to this bullshit societal box y’all have put them all in and start to see them as Human Fucking Beings.

Why did I have so much wine?
