Raging Wildfires in Chile - Please Reblog!
Over a hundred people found death and counting, as neighbors and volunteers gather to remove debris by their own means. This wildfire has spread along three different cities, urban and rural spaces included. Arson is claimed.
Many people and pets are still missing, their whole lives destroyed by these aggresive fires as they reached urban villages, thousands evacuated from their home. Please help us create some awareness with a little reblog and maybe some help, as firefighters and other official charities [TECHO chile, Desafío Levantemos Chile, Hogar de Cristo] are accepting donations.

I avoid posting personal stories but holy shit let me tell you how "nobody wants to work this days"
I got an call from a headhunter, he was looking for an consultant in specific type of enterprise-class management systems. Systems i happen to be experienced with. We spoke for roughly 40 minutes about my experience and skills. He was cleary very pleased and convinced he found an perfect candidate, and proceded to contact the company he was working for.
After 1 hour he gave me call back, disappointed. He said he contacted the client and the client was displeased with the fact that after i stooped working with those systems, i had AUDACITY of switching industry and became an project menager in company with completly different profile. Headhunter, being audibly baffled with the reasoning of the company said he tried to negotiate but everything simply bounced off them, so he had to wish me luck in the future.
It really doesn't take rocket scientist to recognize that there is simply no way for economy to improve when anyone remotely competent is being gatekept from getting a job by moronic HR "workers", lacking most basic understanding of the business they work in and who very often fail to create a single dolar of surplus value during thier entire "professional" carrer. Not to even mention functionally illiterate nepo-baby, that didn't had to work a single day of its life for many generations by now, who actually "runs" a company.
Often i get weird looks during recruitment when recruiters asked me about "switches" of the industry, in a tone that sounded like they were looking at prison sentence in my resume. Oh, how could i commit such a great crime of taking whatever job i could because retarded psychopaths responsible for recruitment usually were looking for an noblist with pay of an intern. How could i value not starving to death over being "focused" on the industry.
I was 24 fucking years old when i became project menager. I made for company more money that some people in my country make in an life time, because i was fucking good at it. And now i am getting judged and rejected by some basic bitch with bullshit degree, fucking ridiculous.

So many of the things that we consider mental illnesses are just normal reactions to living in such a horrifyingly toxic capitalistic society.
There's no way to self-care yourself out of a depression that stems from the existential dread of realizing that all of the suffering that we face as human beings is manufactured for profit.
We have all of this technology, all these resources, and yet we still have poverty, we still have starvation, we still contend with wars on a daily basis, we still contend with climate-related disasters on a daily basis.
All of that is for somebody else's benefit. All of that is a result of selfishness.
And if your heart isn't able to carry the weight of that truth ... then you have a mental illness.

I thought this was a teachable moment on why I do the bait-oriented praxis I do with celebrities, and on why America or North America or whatever is just producing bourgeoise types who are spoiled into competitive aspirational celebrity skin culture.
This person was very enraged that I was critical of Grimes (Grimes is the idiot who said Elon Musk is LIKE BERNIE SANDERS and went on a snarling warpath to defend him from legit criticism from black and lefty peasants). Obviously, she's 15 years old so she knows nothing beyond defending the product on the shelf, and probably hasn't even learned how gross punching down can get... so I mean, you can cut this person some slack for trying to pull an Ayn Rand and inform me I'm some jealous nobody and Grimes is some rich precious gem -- but c'mon, who wants to live in a world in which Alice Boucher and Donald Trump and Grimes are what humans are -- as if there is no fuller potential or a road not taken that actually WOULD have made a difference, you know:

token economies suck and late capitalism is worse. being broke is not a moral failing, and you still deserve to enjoy life.
this is about as wholesome as it gets (for me) i think. can be read platonically or romantically. mcu-based, meant to take place post-volume 3, but headcanon however you want ♡
“You ready? You’re frickin’ takin’ forever.” You drag your eyes away from the shelves of novelties, strange tools, and low-grade “luxury” items in Sanna Orix’s tiny corner-shop, wincing. “Sorry. Yeah, I’m ready.” Rocket tilts his head, arms shuffling a shabby cardboard box he’d apparently filled with various odds-and-ends, machine parts he’d found in dusty corners, bits of tech he hasn’t had a chance to get his paws on before. He studies you, that carnelian gaze flicking back and forth from you to the item you’d just been staring at. “You look at that frickin’ thing every time we come in here,” he observes dryly. “Better get it now f’you want it. It’s not gonna be there forever.” You roll your shoulders, then your eyes. “I don’t need it. If it’s gone by the next time we stop by, it’ll be one less temptation.” Rocket frowns and shuffles the box in his arms. “How much is it?” You don’t have to double-check — you already know. “Twenty-three units.” “Twenty-three units?” he repeats incredulously. “Twenty-three units and I gotta sit here and watch you pine over it every time I gotta run a goddamn errand?”
