the sentiment of analyzing why the US doesn't have manufacturing jobs & why the periphery manufacturing circumstances tend to be so miserable is great but you shouldn't talk of manufacturing jobs as if they can only be done by Low Paid Miserable Workers in the Pollution Housing Area That Poisons Everyone. that's not a correct view manufacturing and nor helpful if you believe a world outside the current miserable capitalism is possible

Love the random censorship in Victorian novels. Mr. ------- came down from -----shire in the summer of 18--. Who? Where? When? Wouldn't you like to know, book boy

I’m 100% pro-Ukraine (saying this for the reading comprehension) but why can’t people wrap their heads around the fact that Russian is not only the language of oppressors but also the language of the oppressed??? Haven’t you heard of Russian queers????? There’s no such thing as inherently evil language

Eldritch entity that genuinely thought the whole "being whose voice cannot be perceived, but only remembered, as though you'd heard its words long ago and are only now being reminded of them" bit would be a cool gimmick, but failed to reckon with the fact that most people's memory sucks balls.

One thing I really appreciate about my therapist is that she stopped asking me a long time ago, “and do you think that [anxious thought] is rational?”

Because she knows. She knows I grew up in and escaped a high control group (cult) before. She knows that when I’m noticing things other people are scoffing at, I’m the canary in the coal mine beating my wings to try and escape the cage before I get dragged under by the people around me who are refusing to see the signs. Either because they believe it will never happen to them or because they don’t see it as a problem.

And she knows I can’t run. Not really. So instead her responses are, “it’s good you can acknowledge you feel this way, but let’s try and focus on your breathing and what we can do to help you get through today,” because that’s really all I can do at the moment. And I know it’s all a lot of us can do right now too.

So if you need permission to do nothing but the bare minimum to survive today, here it is. Take one step at a time, one breath at a time if you need to. And outlive the fuckers no matter what.

If I got a cookie for every time I mistook first symptoms of being physically sick for the first signs of getting burnout, I would pick a chocolate chip one today.

Your knowledge retention doesn't suck because mobile phones have fried your brain, your knowledge retention sucks because you're wiki-diving at 3:30 AM on a Tuesday and haven't slept in 36 hours.
