My life is ridiculous...why am I still living this way!? Lol left in the dark constantly, dealing with what I trauma bond feel like i deserve being called a crazy bitch by simply asking for reassurance constantly from an asshole who expects me to be honest about everything that concerns him or looses his shit. Lmao dear God help me save up enough working for myself to move far far away for good. This chapter needs to come to an end & I want to move away to finally appreciate real peace & solitude in a different realm of new genuine connections where I need not to provide for others with my ideas without even baring children yet. Ugh! Life has been cruel to such a solution provider as myself....I crave a purpose but get trapped by swine who don't appreciate my pearls...p

Hey y’all!

Just a quick aside, I have a book available for preorder called Emotions Explained with Buff Dudes:

If you’re interested, your preorder (particularly in this first week) would be immensely appreciated! If not, thanks anyway for reading my comics, and sorry for this blatant shilling.

Preorder listing: emotionbuffdudes.com

Thank you!

If this spreads to animators it would halt the entire anime industry and severely affect the Korean and Japanese economies.

So let's get this ball rolling and fix some wage theft.

Facebook deleted this almost immediately. It's almost like the ultrawealthy don't want us knowing or talking about what's at stake.

Just want to add one thing:

In countries with universal healthcare, this is a non-issue during a strike. Our access to healthcare isn't tied to working. It's an unconditional right for each and everyone of us.

The US system screws workers over in oh so many ways.

This is exactly why US companies fight so hard against universal healthcare; even if single payer healthcare is cheaper on a per-person basis and takes the cost away from the employer, it also takes POWER and leverage away from the employers... and they don't ever want to give that up.

It's crazy that these strikes are happening given that all the writers and actors are asking for is less than 0.3% of the revenue these studios make.

This is what gets me. The writers and actors aren’t asking for much but these CEOs are digging their heels in

It's because it sets a precedent that the CEOs are terrified to set. That they will acquiesce to worker demands if the workers are resolute enough.

Because in an ideal world for these rich fucks, the workers give up, and the CEOs win, and its reinforced in the collective public mindset that all a strike does is "disrupt the economy, deprive people of valuable products, and waste people's time". The goal is to maintain the assertion that Strikes Don't Work. I don't think they genuinely give a shit about 0.15% of their revenue. What they care about is the OPTICS.

They cannot back down, for the exact same reason that WORKERS cannot back down. Because if the workers win, it shows people just that bit more that The Poors have power and ultimately we can make the rich do what we want if we put our fucking minds to it. And that, to the rich, is bad news bears to the highest degree.

“It is worth remembering that the internet wasn’t supposed to be like this. It wasn’t supposed to be six boring men with too much money creating spaces that no one likes but everyone is forced to use because those men have driven every other form of online existence into the ground. The internet was supposed to have pockets, to have enchanting forests you could stumble into and dark ravines you knew better than to enter. The internet was supposed to be a place of opportunity, not just for profit but for surprise and connection and delight. Instead, like most everything American enterprise has promised held some new dream, it has turned out to be the same old thing—a dream for a few, and something much more confining for everyone else.”

me the 3rd time I’ve gone up to this guys hotel room to ask him to stop vaping because it’s setting off the fire alarm because the clouds are so thick it’s disrupting the sensors and he answers the door all freaked out and jumpy and I have to go in and look around and make sure there isn’t actually a fire only to find that the curtain rod is broken and the closet shelf is broken and the sheets are tied into ropes and when I asked him about it he admitted to me that he did a lil meth and decided to try autoerotic asphyxiation but nothing was sturdy enough and to please not tell his boss because he was in town for job training and they’re paying for his room:

I’m sorry what

what’s important to note and missing from the “headline” tweet is that they simultaneously constructed additional good public transit to the public transit already in the city (bus rapid transit, train stations). Just removing highway alone isn’t going to make traffic better, the bigger part of the story is that they improved public transportation. And the current mayor wants to do more - cyclist lanes and reinstate a tram system

Lol I'm happy with this reading 5/17/23 2:03am

Past: emotional distress, control freak tendencies, & constantly fighting to get my point across to business partner or lover to call the shots & voices demanding expectations verses focusing on the main end goal that will ultimately benefit everyone helping you achieve this dream. Ouch I've been a bitch I admit it.

Present: new awakening higher consciousness of what needs to be done in order to achieve self fulfillment & success. Time to grow the fuck up. Prove to yourself 1st that you are everything you need to be that you wish others should be if you hope to ever see improvement. Only judge others after you become the example you wish to see in others.

Future: balance your opportunities & earnings. Stop spending like a lunatic without planning a solid investment & stop people pleasing til you go broke this time around. You've been in this position before bitch! Be wise this time. Prioritize my responsibilities over all other drama in my life, stop wasting time & your earnings helping & enabling friends & family that are aware of your success, & stop trying to fix your relationship, fuck your love life right now. Focus on you. Otherwise, the life I want will fall apart again over & over. You got this. Learn how to balance everything in your life. Stop ignoring the important details & stay focused, sober, & committed to an exercise routine to ignore all the other fun bullshit you crave & are constantly invited to that go against your healthy routine. Fuck!!! I don't want to. But I need too. God damn it.

These fucking cards man, always roast me when I need em
