How It's Made turned me into a communist

Let’s fucking go

they're saying that Thursday will be falling on a Thursday this week. the rare double Thursday phenomenon

practicing self care less out of self love and more for the sheer logical reasoning of it’d be kinda stupid of me to expect myself to be able to function without proper maintenance

“oh i don’t deserve rest and relaxation, i haven’t done enough, i haven’t earned it” and my car’s breaks don’t deserve break fluid because they aren’t breaking well enough to earn it. that’s what you sound like!!!!!

If you do not schedule time for maintenance, your equipment will schedule it for you

(wanting to make a post about something but it reveals too much about your personal life) i have had a negative experience

I wish I could go to a doctor and just list every single symptom I ever experienced no matter how small and unconnected they seem and the doctor is nice and patient and knows everything and they nod and smile and explain that every symptom I ever experienced is connected to like one rare and often overlooked issue that's sooooo easy to fix with like. a pill. and then I never have to worry about anything ever again.

*hitting my brain with a rolled up newspaper* I am allowed to be annoying! I am allowed to be wrong! I am allowed to take up space! Not! Everyone! Has! To! Like! Me!

how do you stick to a creative endeavour for more than 3 days at a time

lifelong depression has absolutely fried my brain everyone tells me "just do the thing you want to do and enjoy doing in order to improve at it" and i look at them like they're a fucking alien with unnatural powers

i tell them "you could not possibly understand how many times I've tried and failed to do that" then they look at me like I'm the alien. i guess i am the alien. living should not feel like such a burden to me

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry

Basically every discussion about renting vs homeownership policy is like if every discussion on labor rights acted like self-employment was the only conceivable option and no one would ever want to work as part of a larger group

It is fairly obvious that the landlord-renter relationship is far too lopsided towards the former, much like the boss-employee relationship. Yet it's fairly obvious that "everyone is an independent Small Business Owner" is a dumb way to solve the latter problem
