i fucking hate my life.
one of the other tenants has been constantly turning the heat up to EIGHTY even though it hasn’t dipped below 40. this lead to the heating bill for the unit being like, $300 more than the rest of the boarding house.
so, since we are apparently untrustworthy children and not adults who can be reasoned with, the landlord came while tenant was at work and put one of those plastic locking boxes over the thermostat. tenant came home ranting and screaming, calling husband and me bitches repeatedly, yelling abt how he always gets the mail (?), screaming about how we went behind his back to the landlord (we didn’t), and then SLAMMED his door as hard as he could.
screaming and door slamming are so fucking triggering for me. i had a melt down verging on anxiety attack.
i absolutely Do Not Feel Safe Here.
#but it’s not like we can leave 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃#THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY POVERTY IS FUCKING VIOLENCE#and of course we’re the only ppl we know who are struggling#so it’s not like we even have anyone to talk about how much it fucking blows to be poor#our friends all have houses and good jobs and multiple partners and vacations and social lives#and it’s so fucking alienating to have None Of That#it’s so fucking alienating to be like ‘oh u bought a house/had a kid/got a promotion/whatever#cool. i can’t afford groceries and i’ve been on one (1) vacation in 17 years#but tell me more abt how amazing ur life is yeah totally i love this#it gets harder 2 congratulate ppl on their successes when u have Nothing#when success seems to mock u by its absence#i run out of money between paychecks but tell me more abt ur bonus#i’m struggling to pay back the IRS for basic taxes but tell me more abt ur giant house#i hate myself i hate my life#and husband is like ‘I’m not gonna let Tenant scare u like this!’ ok??? ur never here#and if u confront him he will just wait til u r gone and confront ME#fuck#i hate everything#i’m so fucking tired of being poor.#I HAVE A FUCKING DEGREE WHY CANT I GET A FUCKING JOB!!!!!!!!!#but I don’t have a car so I literally can’t get a job 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃#how do u get a job when there is so little pub transit and everything is 5 towns away#how do u get a job in the us w/o having or being able to afford a car#jokes on me u don’t

truly most white (but not always!) leftists/commies/whatever the fuck i have met and interacted with have a huge fucking issue with listening to indigenous people. like we’re fun to hold up to win an online argument but the second we want rights or justice or to be listened to or cared about, they turn a blind eye. they refuse to listen to indigenous people talking directly to them.
and ok i get being uncomfortable with having your blind spots pointed out, but if you want to grow as a person and not be a useless keyboard warrior, you’re going to have to become ok with being corrected or being wrong sometimes. IM wrong sometimes. we all are. be okay with that.

hey does anyone know how we’re supposed to survive it all. asking for a friend
#she speaks#oh gang we’re really in it now#i don’t think i’ve ever felt this bad this deeply in my whole life lol#the burnout just keeps accumulating past any point i thought it could reach#and i can’t even pretend at work anymore#i’m so tired and these kids are so infuriating and it builds and builds every time they do something shitty#and i love them and it’s not their fault they’re just kids and they’re tired and it’s almost summer#but god i can’t fucking do it anymore#how exactly am i supposed to survive the next two weeks#the class i’m taking is too confusing and too fast paced#and i didn’t buy the textbook bc it’s 200 fucking dollars#and our apartment is always a mess#and i can’t keep up with friendships and feel like i’m constantly letting them down#and there’s nothing i can do to fix any of it#until the school year is over#bc at this point it takes everything i have just to get up and go to work in the mornings#but then i still have to somehow find energy to do other stuff too. and like actually teach.#i have to grade and do report cards and return materials and clean up my classroom#i need to complete a checklist the size of a novel before i leave for the summer#i need to keep the kids engaged but none of us want to be here#i need to start organizing to make next year easier#i need to fill out paperwork and spreadsheets and update my password and find time to feed myself and grade more papers and#vacuum the floors and scoop litter and clean up clutter and do dishes and wipe down counters#and i haven’t been able to fucking do any of it in months and left so many chores to my poor partner who’s also going through it#bc i have nothing left and i don’t know what to do!! i want to scream every minute of every day bc i’m so beyond overwhelmed the moment#i wake up in the morning but i don’t have time for a meltdown so i just keep going!!#i wish i had better words to explain how bad it’s gotten but the brain fog has gotten so so bad#i can barely think i can’t make decisions my memory and recall have gotten so much worse#i take my anxiety meds so often that they’ve stopped working#and yet i still worry that i’m making it up and being dramatic. anyway sorry about all this lol

Moral of Casanova (2005):
Don’t emotionally neglect your child with selective mutism or take them to public executions.
#Casanova (2005)#David Tennant#Like okay I’m a parapro and any time a child was onscreen I was SCREAMING directions at the parent#no he’s not the idiot; you are! GIVE HIM TO ME AND I WILL TAKE CARE OF HIM THE RIGHT WAY#Ughhh poor Giacomo Sr. and Jr.#That one old nurse was like “have you ever seen such a miserable child” like yeah you’re right but must you say it to his face like THAT#Give that kid some fun snacks and other kids to play with and a bin of wooden blocks (so he can dump it)#and also someone who can incorporate his interests into learning and OH MY GOD HIRE ME PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR CHILD#That poor kid had absolutely zero regulatory skills and the only thing he could manage doing was stand there#like a starched 2x4 and expressionlessly knock over vases to watch them break. You don’t understand I am clawing at my EYES#I’d be like “Hey man… I don’t know if you’re angry or if you just enjoy watching things break; but you’ve been through a lot.#You seem tired. Am I correct?” [wait] “You don’t have to speak if it’s too much. It’s okay.#You’ve been dragged across the world without your consent by someone who doesn’t care about your life or his.#And you’ve just seen him get shot which — regardless of how you feel about him — is pretty scary. I’d be worn out too.”#Okay THAT is how you talk to that kind of kid. You don’t pressure him into being proud of you or call him “idiot” like what the fuck#communication devices weren’t a thing back then but by god I’d draw up the meanest flash cards you’ve ever seen#LET ME IN THE TELEVISION

I hate the fact that Valerie and Vlad team up in canon, but I do like the idea of them teaming up in a very specific au where after Phantom beats Vlad out for being mayor (but can’t actually become mayor because he’s not an adult) the popular kids (mostly Dash and Paulina) make him a candidate for school president (since they discovered he’s around their age)
Valerie obviously hates this and does not want Phantom to have any part of her school so she runs against him
Vlad, still mad that he technically lost against Phantom, makes a deal with Valerie to help her win (obvious she’s wary of this creepy old dude but she can’t stand the idea of Phantom becoming such an active member of the school, the whole thing makes her skin crawl, so she begrudgingly accepts his help)
Despite everything tho, Phanton still obviously wins, just to once again not actually win (not enrolled in Casper High that they know of so he can’t be school president), Mr. Lancer is the one to deliver that news and the students angrily chase off campus
Valerie and Vlad blame each other and get into a heated argument, Vlad’s image takes another hit, and so does Valerie’s as she ran against Phantom instead of just letting him win, and now she has to actually be school president?? whoops she did not think this through

i’ve gotten really really good at lying to get out of things, especially work. i feel morally conflicted about it. and i hope also that i’m not just being a “lazy fuck” that doesn’t want to go to work. i can own up to the fact that i used to be a piece of shit. (people can change) but i dunno… if we lived in a society where i could be honest and say “I’m experiencing severe burnout right now and not coming in today will allow me to continue coming in in the long-term” and have that be okay, i wouldn’t have to lie about it. and honestly? if we lived in a society with that much mutual respect as a baseline, i’m betting that i wouldn’t be experiencing this much burnout in the first place.

Honestly my manager should be allowed to put on his resume that his staff volunteers to give up off days to help him out because I would not do this for just anyone

fun new cold symptom: hallucinating a plant breeding experiment in bed while trying to sleep
#I am DYING here man#I’ve been in bed trying to sleep since before 10pm it’s been 4ish hours#I keep waking up every few hours and I’ve been so stressed abt these plants bc they’re in really poor experimental conditions#I think i convinced myself that I was some kind of autonomous turned sentient robot in my uni’s experimental greenhouse#and I’ve been looking after these plants and monitoring soil conditions and photosynthetic rate and that kinda shit#and people keep coming in and messing with the plants and it’s not just my experiment that I’m looking after!!#they’re fucking up big important expensive experiments with like transgenic crop varieties and shit that can’t be done again easily#and this is all. overlaid over my bed because I was in that half awake state where I’m just about conscious of my surroundings#but I didn’t know what they really were#so instead of lying in bed I was this robot which has sensors all along this table attached to plants that I’m taking care of#but I also have this big communication thing by my head which let me move around a big camera and talk to people#there was a whole undercurrent of whether or not I was really a person. and me being scared they’d shut me down both for fucking up#and for not being the basic robot anymore bc I wasn’t meant to be sentient#and SOMEHOW. this is all happening while I’m in bed bc I have a fucking fever and I’m lying propped up in a slightly uncomfortable way#to let me actually breathe through my nose#what the FUCK#i only just snapped out of it when I was going to text my friend abt the experiment and I slowly had to realise that’s not real#I just wanna sleep for like a straight 6-8 hours please I’m so tired and people outside are being loud now#maybe I take more paracetamol I’ve had long enough since my last dose now and I think that’s sensible#luke.txt

every day i understand more and more why charlotte lucas married mr. collins
odious as he is, being married to a man like him still can’t be worse than being broke and living with your parents as an adult
