#Too tired of this

[notbroadwaybound]

I've been probably too quiet on the Israel / Palestine conflict other than a few pro-Palestine reblogs but last night was my breaking point I think.

I'm just so tired of the both-siding going on in the mainstream US. I watched Jon Stewart's bit on it last night and I was like oh he usually tells it like it is but he was doing the same conflating all of Palestine with Hamas and acting like Israel and Palestine were equally to blame for this / equally suffering.

Then for some godforsaken reason I decided to watch the Joe Biden Seth Meyers interview and whereas I appreciate Seth for at least asking him about the horrific images coming out of Gaza (even if he still kind of downplayed it) I was horrified at Joe Biden proudly calling himself a zionist and saying nowhere is safe for Jewish people other than Israel. Made me want to destory my tv. I had to turn it off immediately.

I'm just so tired and sick of the needless suffering and war crimes being committed by Israel and having everyone go around like normal or worse acting like Palestine is equally or MORE to blame.

chapter 236 spoilers

haven't been closely following the manga for a couple months now. lost interest and passion for the story. i think the spoilers for jjk 236 finally ended it for me. what's left to be interested or invested in? yeah yeah battle manga blah. almost all of the original characters are either dead, mia or no longer important. so many characters have been introduced only to never be mentioned again. this does nothing for world building and nothing for building any sort of attachment towards the story, which is obviously more important than the individual characters. there is like a bus full of people plus a narrator explaining every move in this fight because no one reading this series understands shit anymore. plus I think I'm finally done with the gruesome shit like killing off all the family megumi or yuuji had left. yes gege we get it, jujutsu world is cruel even to a kind hearted 15 yo boy.

i'm not even surprised. i knew this was coming. when gege spelt out "gojo wins" i knew he was done for. it's not that i stubbornly stop caring for jjk because gojou is dead, but by now so much dumb shit has happened that it's just the nail in the coffin for me.

really, what's left to care about? anyone's ~legacy~? yawn.

Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.

For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.

I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.

man. this whole thing pisses me off because like. even when people talk about staff having a history of hating trans women, that this isnt the first time, without fail black trans women are forgotten to be included again and again. im not surprised this caused such an uproar when the popular white woman gets deleted. nobody should be, its been that way like forever. some cunt in my inbox got annoyed i called rita a sex worker (lol? okay)

but i mentioned that in my post because so many black trans women have gotten removed from this site for their sex work alone, regardless of if it "broke community guidelines" or not, especially when tumblr live and the ads on this website are so fucking horny. idek what to say rn because like. this wont get as many notes as the posts talking about her will. the exploding car thing is gonna get more attention than the trans women on this site you dont actually care about listening to. ive been talking about how unfair it is to be a black tgirl on this site for years and nobody cares.

i love rita, we talked abit the other day and she's doing fine, dont get it twisted and think i hate her or some bs, she's a big fucking reason im not fucking homeless.

but part of why her deletion got to #1 trending on tumblr for multiple days in a row is that she's white

you know what boils my blood.

over the last 2 weeks, i've seen countless patients walk into my urgent care center, symptomatic for so many things, refusing to get tested for covid and flu, citing that they don't want to knowingly bring it to their holiday tables. i had a patient tell me, verbatim, "i don't want to test for covid, because i don't want to be the asshole who brings it on a plane."

i understand that - i understand that holidays are times where people look forward to meeting loved ones that they might only see once a year, or where they get a break from the hectic back and forth of their lives.

but here's the thing - whether they get tested or not, they will bring whatever they have to their holiday tables. it's pure recklessness to know that you're sick, and walk into someone else's house spreading the disease.

today, january 2, i saw 91 patients, many of them who have tested positive for covid and flu. many of these patients are the same ones who didn't want testing 3 days ago, until their events were over, and now, they will have to reach out to everyone they know to let them know that they were positive because they were showing symptoms well before their event.

the next week or two? we're going to see many, many more, all people with symptoms that started around christmas. these are the only two viruses we test for rapidly in our office, but they are potent and can be fatal in many people.

so here's why i wrote this post, and maybe it's a little late, but - if you care about your loved ones, please get tested if you know you're sick. it doesn't have to be at a clinic if you don't want it to, because the over-the-counter tests work just fine too (if you test within 5-7 days of symptom onset). just...please don't try to run from the knowledge that you might have covid, because immunocompromised people, elderly people, people with co-morbidities like asthma, pregnancy, diabetes, etc...many of them may not recover. and they may not be sitting at your holiday table in the future because of it.

[images ID: three images of a comic titled "one must imagine sisyphus happy" by druid-for-hire. it is a visual narrative beginning with someone with wrist pain (depicted by bright orange nerves) working at a drafting table. the reader is shown the same wrist as the person uses it for many everyday tasks such as carrying a grocery basket, pushing elevator buttons, typing, and doing dishes, until the pain dissolves all the panels into chaos. the person then performs several physical therapy exercises until the pain subsides. they sit back down at a desk with their laptop, sigh, and begin typing. a small spark of pain reappears. end id]

a fun little piece i made during the semester and submitted into our school comic anthology! (which you can buy at the Static Fish table at MoCCAFest in NYC ;] ). it's about artists and injury

Saw a reddit post today about a girl who was upset that her childhood best friend replaced a photo of the two of them in his wallet with one of him and his girlfriend. And while yeah, she was being unreasonable with a lot of what she was saying, I totally understand the sadness of a friend "replacing" you with someone they have romantic feelings for. Makes it worse when the top comment is this

Every single comment on this post is about how family and romantic relationships always take precedence over friendships. I don't have anything more to say to this aside from the fact that... this is why it's hard for aroaces to imagine futures for themselves. Society drills it into your head that you're going to live in a world where you are no one's priority if you don't have romantic relationships and it fucking sucks
