One of the most personal, saddest things about living in America is the summertime.
There is 0 reason for American adults not to have a summer break. I can only say this with a full throat so loud, but other countries have policies and laws that give adults summertime.
It is not a joke to say France is kind of shutdown for August. There are over a dozen countries that have enough mandatory, legally required leave available to take an entire month off, or more. PLUS mandatory PAID holidays.
It's Brazil and Russia (ooh scary BRIC countries outgrowing the US and coming for us). India AND China give up to 2 weeks mandatory vacation leave, plus sick leave on top.
It's Afghanistan (20 days). It's Angola (22). It's Argentina(25) and Armenia (25) and Australia (20). It's Cambodia (technically unlimited; you can eventually get 15 or 17 days per month vacation).
That us on top of mandatory PAID public holidays. Cambodia can somehow manage 27 mandatory paid holidays plus upwards of 18 vacation days per year and going up from there, and we in the US can't even manage mandatory paid holidays.
We don't even get paid on Christmas and Memorial Day. And even trying to convince some people, let alone politicians, that everyone should get paid on Christmas is unfair to compare to pulling teeth.
Please. Please. I want to have a better life. I want you to have a better life.
I want you to not miss Summer Break. Because France and Cambodia don't.

…there’s always someone bent on breaking the world.
... so I slipped and drew Dragon Age again.
Did I have 50 free hours to spend? I didn’t.
Do I have a rekindled obsession with the franchise that formed me as a person and I haven't hoped to get more of? Yup.
Can I spend these 50 hours I didn’t have hyperfixating on my obsession with barely managing to do anything else besides (🤡🤡🤡)?
Oh certainly!!
I have this Dragon Age Artbook that has a tapestry with characters' faces all over the first 2 pages and I was always so in awe and I wanted to do something like that too. I can’t be more hyped, I haven’t hoped after 10 years to have more of this world (that I can talk about 3 hours straight no kidding) and still can’t really believe it please tell me I haven’t dreamed it!!
