1. You probably dont suck at your craft as much as you think you do, I bet a lot of people are amazed at what you can make, and
2. If you actually are the Literal Worst In The Whole Wide World at your craft… who the fuck cares? What are they gonna do, call the police on you? Keep making your shitty little things, youre the boss of you, fuck the haters.
I’m in Vegas and in order to avoid being overstimulated my spouse and I are pretending that we’re showing Oscar Wilde around, and tbh? It’s working. He loved Magic Mike Live
He was baffled by the Killers 20 years Hot Fuss reunion tour but ultimately enjoyed it
I’m not learning to tailor my fucking clothes stop sending links. If they don’t make clothes that fit I simply will not buy them. They should just sell clothes that fit. And if not I will continue to wear my sweatpants

outbreaks of diseases such as measles, whooping cough, tuberculosis and polio, as well as dengue and cholera are surging worldwide…[the] study has compiled data from over 60 organisations and public health agencies showing that the world is seeing a resurgence of at least 13 infectious diseases, with cases higher than before the pandemic in many regions. Over 40 countries or territories have reported at least one infectious disease resurgence that’s 10-fold or more over their pre-pandemic baseline.
It’s not debatable: people are sicker.”
“If we were to see immune damage manifesting at a population level, it would look like what we’re seeing today: big waves of common illnesses. Unusual spikes of uncommon illnesses. Course reversal for previously declining and eliminated illnesses. An unexplained, global wave of sickness.
It’s worth asking, as we exit the fourth winter since lockdowns: how many more winters will go by before parents ask questions? How many years will pass before “immunity debt” slides off the tongue a little less easily? How many children must die of flu, strep A and pneumonia before the public demands action? Because we live in an era with technological solutions at our fingertips, yet apparently no will- as of yet- to pursue them.”
reminiscing on warehouse work, how it affected me, and how it’s a capitalist trap that’s actually working, to everyone’s detriment.
did you guys notice that we’re collectively being herded into warehouses? the job market is dire but! warehouses are always hiring! and they’re usually the highest pay in your area! the interview is fast and easy, you’re almost guaranteed a job and it comes w decent benefits,
but.
notice it’s only lower middle class down, people stuck between a rock and hard place, people who just need to keep the roof over their head one more day– only those people end up in a warehouse.
working in a warehouse is often fucking back breaking, heavy duty labor that’s absolutely exhausting. you suffer thru it for 8+ hours to go home, crash, get up, and do it over again. you can barely make rent, but at least you’re making it. in the meantime, you dont have the energy or time to think abt what this is actually doing to you.
labor like that is dangerous, and painful, and it breaks you down over time. i spent 3 years on a loading dock, and even tho i’ve been in the offices for the other 3 years, i’m still constantly in pain. spending too much time upright alone is extremely painful for me. why do i have a cane at 27?
they’re forcing the lower classes into work that disables, maims, and kills if you’re unlucky. work that exhausts you and keeps you running on barely any energy, just for crumbs. at the least it keeps you compliant, and at the worst you either end up disabled and persecuted, or dead.
