I actually do feel like the "unemployed friend on a Tuesday" meme actually helps de-stigmatize unemployment because it frequently affirms that when you don't have a job you're more likely to be getting up to some weird shit rather than just lazing around. But I also feel like the unemployed friend is frequently up to some random shit because there's a whole pile of miscellaneous life tasks that full-time employment keeps people from. The unemployed friend is helping their cousin move, or babysitting, or checking in with a neighbor with mobility issues. The unemployed friend is a walking thesis on the inflexibility of our current labor landscape and just how much work exists outside of work.

Okay I always feel like I’m posting into the void here (which I like, it’s my refuge social media lol) but here’s a life update anyways:

- I got with this person about a month ago after talking it over with friends and my little brother. My brother pointed out that “in every relationship, you’ll learn something” and I was like you know what. That’s a really wise and contemplative way to approach relationships and desire. I like that.

- So I went for it and I don’t regret it!!! This person makes me feel really good and really happy. And my brother was right — I’ve learned a lot about myself (and them) and I can’t wait to keep learning new things!! Also, crucially, they keep recording poems for me :) I currently have a cold so I’m stuck at home and can’t see them, and they’re sending me poem recordings to help me feel better 😭 such a sweetheart!!!

A pack horse librarian delivering books in rural Kentucky in 1938. During the Great Depression, the Pack Horse Library Project was a Works Progress Administration (WPA) program in which the librarians, who were often called "book women" or "book ladies," delivered books to remote parts of Appalachia.

Librarians are amazing. They love reading so much, they will find a way to get books to people.

Let Evening Come

by Jane Kenyon

Let the light of late afternoon shine through chinks in the barn, moving up the bales as the sun moves down.

Let the cricket take up chafing as a woman takes up her needles and her yarn. Let evening come.

Let dew collect on the hoe abandoned in long grass. Let the stars appear and the moon disclose her silver horn.

Let the fox go back to its sandy den. Let the wind die down. Let the shed go black inside. Let evening come.

To the bottle in the ditch, to the scoop in the oats, to air in the lung let evening come.

Let it come, as it will, and don’t be afraid. God does not leave us comfortless, so let evening come.

If your life is horrible and you need a new source of meaning and direction.... Do NOT find religion. Learn to identify plants.

Hello everyone!

This is Lola

She's a trans woman living in Nigeria.

And she wants to go to school in Germany. Nigeria is extremely difficult and unsafe for the average person, let alone a queer person living in a deeply homophobic and transphobic society.

On top of her desire to go to school, Lola also needs money for food, rent, and HRT, which she had to stop because of a lack of money.

Lola has faced transphobic violence, been physically attacked, was forced to live unde a creepy landlord until she had to move, and has gotten sick frequently.

She's doing her best, but she needs help.

Right now, Lola needs money for rent, food, hormones, and applications to schools in Germany. She could use all the help allies could possibly give.

Lola needs $1,200 USD to cover rent, hormones, and applications to schools in Germany. She wants to study applied biology, bioengineering, medical engineering, or human movements and sports.

If we can get the funds to her quickly, we can help her quickly.
