Im terrified because i dont know if ill be able to pay all my bills next month, and im sitting here feeling like my body is screaming in pain because i csnt exist two days without a major change happening in my home and making me feel like i need to slough my skin off.
I just want to feel comfortable in my own home. I dont feel like anything i own is safe from being moved or touched or claimed. I want to pack up all my belongings so i never have to hurt again.
I am so upset but im tired and just trying to have a cigarette and write, but im absolutely sick of my husband “cleaning” and “organizing.”
I tried to shut the fucking sliding glass door and all ky craft stuff he pulled out was apparently leaning up against it and fell everywhere. Now im outside. Theres a mess blocking the door inside. Im going to have to clean it up. There are no home for these items he unpacked, and while im okay with sharing my craft supplies hes now laying claim of dual ownership of things my mother explicitely gave me in my scrapbooking stuff.
I hate it. Historicslly ive been the one tk decorate and oeganizr the home because he gave 0 shits about it. Now hes all about it and it feels so fucking painful. Were dirt poor, we have nowhere to unpack our stuff and put it. So now its fucking open boxes everywhere and im so, so angry.
Their flagship store and New York has unionized along with 3-4 other stores! This is happening! People are tired of being seen as dollar signs and being made to work just to get to work more, to survive instead of thrive. Keep it UP.

the power of this piece is so intensely raw and honest…. Children absorb EVERYTHING. they notice absolutely everything, but they lack the vehicle of self expression and autonomy to convey their feelings. That’s why the art they make is so important to me
there isn’t a “kill all the ____” that will fix the problems of the world, because,
1. you probably can’t. 2. if you did, more of them would probably come into existence, or 3. other people would come to fit the same social position. 4. There isn’t a group of Fundamentally Bad Evil People that Cause All The Problems, because 5. Harm isn’t caused by a type of person. everyone causes harm and an effective system of addressing harm has to contend with that. 6. you will end up expanding the definition of ____ to include whoever else you want to kill anyway. which will suck. 7. Destruction without building will leave nothing behind. New harms will arise. Old harms will continue. Because there is nothing to replace them. There is nothing Helpful being done. a better world isn’t created by just getting rid of all the bad stuff and calling it a day. you have to actually make something that meets peoples needs. 8. structures of power and harm sometimes maintain themselves even if no one intends them to or purposefully wants them to. 9. systems of power will end up finding a scapegoat. they will convince you that some marginalized group are the real ____ and you should focus on them. and in your zeal and blood thirst you, or at least some of your allies, will fall for it. And you will commit atrocities. 10. The world that is created can only come from the world that is.
And look, whatever group you are thinking of – yes I mean them too. Pedophiles, rapists, murderers, sociopaths, nazis, billionaires, cops, you name it. Harm and oppression is far too complicated to ever be solved with Finding The Right Group To Kill.
And there are lots of really great arguments to be made about why eliminationist rhetoric is ethically bad, or historically questionable, etc. I am open to that being added on and talked about too.
But my point is that It Will Not Accomplish Your Desired Results. You Will Have Committed Atrocities and You Will Have Failed At Achieving Your Initial Goal.
People say that you can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs, but I say that it’s amazing how many eggs you can break without making an omelet.

religious argument for your unpleasant aunt: look, god himself tried to kill all the bad people off in one big flood, but there were bad people again in like one generation. why do you think your favorite political party is going to do better.
