the thing is when i'm doing better i think "hmm maybe i Can have a job some day and find a way to make it through this capitalist hellscape on my own" and then i get a panic attack from seeing someone else's résumé because the thought of having to sell myself like a product through a little fucking advertising flyer to an employer that sees me as a task-performing robot at best is dehumanizing as hell and sends me back to the worst period of my life

#the way these things are formatted these days like with the layout #looks like a fucking ebay listing or some shit #90% of it dedicated to what you can do and what you've done professionally and like. 3 lines about your hobbies #i don't know why they even keep up the pretense that the hobby section is ever taken into consideration by employers #this is really just 'we let you talk about yourself a bit so you think we actually see you as a human being'#but like. say you're applying to be an accountant. do you think the boss cares that you like knitting.#like i don't want to be a fucking thing that someone rents out to do work and then throws out once it's done #but. i have to ? or i have no house or food and i fucking die ?#how is this fucking normal. how is this life. how is this society.#society is supposed to be this thing that we work towards so that everyone can reap benefits from it y'know #like a big field. people come and plant a lot of seeds and tend to the crops and harvest them #and the harvest doesn't just go to the people who worked on the field it goes to Everyone who needs them #a farmer doesn't farm to feed himself he farms to feed the village ykwim #so what the fuck are we doing all this for if nobody's allowed to just get fed even if they didn't work in the field #i don't want to work i want to be alive on my own fucking terms why has this been made impossible
