Hi Rosy. I think I’m going through a life crisis. I’ve sent you some asks over the years and somehow just venting it out to the internet makes me feel better. I’m sorry I’m specifically “targeting” you though. I’m 27, with a steady minimum wage job, a degree in an area that I don’t relate to anymore, with an apartment bought at about 1 year ago, a wonderful partner, and two amazing cats. I don’t like my job. I’ve been there for almost 3 years and I still get paid minimum wage. It has no career progression whatsoever, and doesn’t fulfill me in any way. Ive been looking for jobs but this is an industrial area with lots of jobs for “men”, and very few for women that aren’t cleaning or at restaurants. The few administrative jobs that pop up are either temporary or the company won’t say anything back. It’s been like this for years and I’m fully feeling it now. I’ve thought about moving out of the country but my partner isn’t a fan of that idea. I’ve thought about studying again in a completely different area, but I’m not sure up to what point I’d do that to try and run from my current situation and not because I really really want to work in that area. I am at a loss. Some say I should be more than happy, I have a steady job with a nice schedule, a house, a partner that does everything for me. But I can’t help but feel that I’m staying behind in every aspect. My career isn’t going forward, the house is nice but we can barely afford some repairs that it needs, much less new furniture, etc. It’s super hard to save for whatever it is. This is such a small town that it barely has classes of anything to better myself personally. I’m just sad with my life.

Okay, so since you're in a stable situation that isn't going anywhere but also isn't demanding much of you, why don't you use this time to figure out what the next step is and then get your ducks in a row.

Real, substantial change takes a lot of time and many steps. You know that your career isn't working and you need to find a new one. Good. You've identified a need.

Now figure out what job you want to do and what you need to do to start doing it.

Are there jobs in your area that you might want to do but you aren't qualified for? That's when you get training or more education. Do you need to find a way to make a living maybe on the internet? It does help when you are limited in your region. Do you want to try starting your own business? Do you want to try to find a way into the traditionally male jobs? Do you want to look slightly outside of your reason and deal with a bit of a commute? Or do you want to try lowering your cost of living so you can get away with gig economy jobs?

There are opportunities out there for you, you may just not be ready for them right this minute. Give yourself time to figure it out.

Caveat: I'm not really someone you should be taking professional business or economic advice from because I'm an absolutely terrible capitalist. Half the time I just refuse. But I do think there are opportunities if you expand your mindset.

going through my old journals as part of therapy homework and i'm reading a section written in the emotional wreckage of a full-on breakdown when i get hit with this line:

There is never a satisfying answer to ‘Why didn’t they love me?’

like wow babe. good fucking point

Headcanon: Deep down they both want to be their fairy godparent/godkid again after losing them, but don't believe they deserve each other and feel like they aren't worthy to be their companion anymore

They both need counseling and therapy as a whole package

It’s so funny seeing everyone draw Peri all suave due to people watching that first intro clip of him, because every clip I’ve seen of him after his big debut, he looks like this 80% of the time

off of my last post: i feel like corporate horror has such a rich seam of possibilities that are just begging to be mined. the helpless, nightmarish feeling of watching your life get chewed up by the implacable machinery of faceless corporations in which you are nothing but an easily-replaceable cog and knowing the whole time that you chose to be here. that you can, theoretically, leave any time you want. mindless, pointless busywork that you're expected to take pride in even when it has no measurable impact. feeling like you're running on a treadmill - always busy, never achieving anything. upper managers who only communicate with you by email. CEOs who never communicate with you at all, and may not actually exist for all you know. you can leave any time you want. but you can't, can you? not really. you still have to pay the bills.

What a terribly dull ending this is.

It’s fascinating how little the US at large knew about Walz before this week, but at the same time… it makes sense. He wasn’t their governor. They haven’t seen the incredible work he’s done first-hand, and they haven’t had years to appreciate his authentic charm.

He’s never been a politician who sought out the limelight - everything Minnesota has done in this historic year of progressive legislation and policy has been relatively quiet. He’s not on the road jockeying for the latest sound byte on CNN or some podcast - he’s working to implement the policies people want. He’s tweeting about Mountain Dew. He’s at the state fair eating fried food and talking to his constituents. This is the governor we know. A man who cares deeply about the work he does and the people he represents, not the fame, not the clicks.

He’s genuine. Minnesotans know that. Now it’s time to sell that to the rest of the country.

AU where the justice league finds out that Captain Marvel is homeless. Not Billy, they still have no idea about the captain's secret identity, but the Captain.

Maybe they were discussing a case or something, and he says something that is just a little too knowledgeable. Something only someone who has been there would know. He tries to backtrack when he realizes that he said too much, tries to explain that getting a job and an apartment is hard when you do hero work which doesn't pay (and hopes they don't find out the real reason he can't get a job is because no one will hire a kid).

The league comes to the conclusion the reason he is so secretive about his identity is because he is ashamed he is homeless. Naturally, everyone immediately feels super bad about this and tries to help him much to his dismay.

Identity shenanigans ensue.

today's the first day at my new job 😵‍💫😵‍💫 I'm so nervous, wish me luck !

i'm still processing everything and my mind is both all over the place and hyperfixated on that final scene.

but.

oliver said there have been crumbs throughout the show for years

oliver said this is how he has always seen buck

oliver said the fans weren't crazy for clocking buck as queer, because he himself saw it too

oliver said he had to pull back from fan interaction on social media because he wanted to validate our feelings so much but couldn't because those as*holes over at fox were holding him back

oliver said he planned on playing buck differently this season, leaning more towards bi buck and this was WITHOUT knowing what tim had planned

tim said there were studio execs back when who held all the cards basically confirming that fox refused to give them the green light for this story arc

tim said he's always viewed buck's love interests as flat and never moved the story forward
