once i beat the depression and the burnout and the anxiety and the loneliness and the exhaustion and the guilt and the awkwardness and the apathy and the low income and the chronic illness and the impatience and the vulnerability and the creative block and the capitalism and the cruelty THEN you'll see

Say it with me! Wheelchairs aren’t sad! Mobility aids aren’t sad! Mobility aids are instruments of freedom!

I don't know I'm not done talking about it. It's insane that I can't just uninstall Edge or Copilot. That websites require my phone number to sign up. That people share their contacts to find their friends on social media.
I wouldn't use an adblocker if ads were just banners on the side funding a website I enjoy using and want to support. Ads pop up invasively and fill my whole screen, I misclick and get warped away to another page just for trying to read an article or get a recipe.
Every app shouldn't be like every other app. Instagram didn't need reels and a shop. TikTok doesn't need a store. Instagram doesn't need to be connected to Facebook. I don't want my apps to do everything, I want a hub for a specific thing, and I'll go to that place accordingly.
I love discord, but so much information gets lost to it. I don't want to join to view things. I want to lurk on forums. I want to be a user who can log in and join a conversation by replying to a thread, even if that conversation was two days ago. I know discord has threads, it's not the same. I don't want to have to verify my account with a phone number. I understand safety and digital concerns, but I'm concerned about information like that with leaks everywhere, even with password managers.
I shouldn't have to pay subscriptions to use services and get locked out of old versions. My old disk copy of photoshop should work. I should want to upgrade eventually because I like photoshop and supporting the business. Adobe is a whole other can of worms here.
Streaming is so splintered across everything. Shows release so fast. Things don't get physical releases. I can't stream a movie I own digitally to friends because the share-screen blocks it, even though I own two digital copies, even though I own a physical copy.
I have an iPod, and I had to install a third party OS to easily put my music on it without having to tangle with iTunes. Spotify bricked hardware I purchased because they were unwillingly to upkeep it. They don't pay their artists. iTunes isn't even iTunes anymore and Apple struggles to upkeep it.
My TV shows me ads on the home screen. My dad lost access to eBook he purchased because they were digital and got revoked by the company distributing them. Hitman 1-3 only runs online most of the time. Flash died and is staying alive because people love it and made efforts to keep it up.
I have to click "not now" and can't click "no". I don't just get emails, they want to text me to purchase things online too. My windows start search bar searches online, not just my computer. Everything is blindly called an app now. Everything wants me to upload to the cloud. These are good tools! But why am I forced to use them! Why am I not allowed to own or control them?
No more!!!!! I love my iPod with so much storage and FLAC files. I love having all my fics on my harddrive. I love having USBs and backups. I love running scripts to gut suck stuff out of my Windows computer I don't want that spies on me. I love having forums. I love sending letters. I love neocities and webpages and webrings. I will not be scanning QR codes. Please hand me a physical menu. If I didn't need a smartphone for work I'd get a "dumb" phone so fast. I want things to have buttons. I want to use a mouse. I want replaceable batteries. I want the right to repair. I grew up online and I won't forget how it was!

being on the aro spectrum would be a lot easier if being single wasn't made to feel like a literal death sentence
#Last year I've sort of lost my best friend#while they tried to 'make it work'#I could feel how this other person was more important to them. I could see it in their messages the shallow replies#I used to be their most important person we hung out almost every day and they promised it would never change#I genuinely grieved it felt as if they had died in front of my eyes#and I'm still grieving but it got easier once I removed myself from them and stopped trying to 'make it work'#I focused on finding worth in myself and sharing myself in other ways... but it still hurts. I feel indescribably lonely.#they kept saying nothing would change#EVERYTHING changed#I felt betrayed and suicidal all throughout last year and couldn't even communicate it to them properly#since of course our bond isn't as important isn't as valued isn't as special isn't as socially accepted isn't as precious#I felt worthless betrayed lost confused unloveable undeserving of love consideration and care#I don't feel romantic attraction or fall in love in the traditional sense with real people I'm incapable of that#but it meant the world to me being close to my friend I wasn't 'in love' with them but they were important to me. it's some form of love#despite having a life partner of my own I hoped my friend would handle it the same way I would. they didn't. they prioritized their partner#and their new partner's insecurities over our relationship#and that broke apart our relationship#there is still a hole where they once were#they're still here but it's like I'm looking at a stranger now. it's a deep sense of betrayal that brought up a lot of trauma#it hurts and I can't stand hearing their voice can't stand their shallow replies#a whole decade of close friendship lost in the matter of weeks#I feel like I'll never be fully over this
