CW: You are more than your income. This is not your fault. 

Don't be too hard on yourself if things aren't working out. We have the worst president in memory, during a pandemic that's killed 160k+ Americans, and the people in charge are not providing any help or relief. The government is the failure here, not you.

You are more than your income.

Don't shoulder the blame and damage your self worth because the system is rigged and isn't working. SCREW THAT. You are not a failure. You. Are. Not.

We're all struggling together! Going to work and catching Covid could possibly kill you or the people you care about. This is not on you! You should not have to struggle or even worry about finding work during this time. It's irresponsible of those in charge to expect it.

You are not worthless.

I was afraid of: moving across the country on borrowed money (even though I had nowhere else to go) 

After facing the fear: I made it there with cash to spare and found a job within a month that enabled me to get into a house with friends. I was living my best-ever life at the time, inside of 4 months. It was a risk, but when life gives you no other choices, sometimes the best choice is to truly commit to taking that leap of faith and making the best of whatever comes of it.

People talk about the appropriation of indigenous culture by white people.

I had the inverse happen, my whole tribe of white people got appropriated and annexed by a native american medicine man and chief. Ever since then, my life has been Full of all sorts of native spirits and beings.

The local fae little folk look at me like I'm a talking dog, and Baron Samedi got on my case for being White.

Apparently celtic irish aren't supernaturally white by default.

Gender levels are over 9000.

Dresden might have to wrangle the Winter Mantle, but I'm the damn Summer Knight, and the Summer Mantle has Needs.

@Nerts That fluff description felt like a callout for me.

@Leucrotta
When the waters rose
In the darkness
In the wake of the endless flood
It flowed into our memory
It flowed into our blood

When something broke the surface
Just to see the starry dome
We still feel that relation
When the water takes us home
In the flying spray of the ocean
The water takes you home, water takes you home

Had a very matter of fact convo with my new co-worker yesterday at the sprout farm.

She knew about trans stuff, but hadn't bumped up against non-binary folks. And hadn't bumped up against a Witch in ever, even though she's a Natural for the talent. She knew I was Autistic out the gate, that helped.

...Also, I'm physically demolished from this job, it's like Tai Chi, Ballet, and culinary stuff all wrapped up in what amounts to a surgical gown.

@junebug@snouts.online I was asked yesterday on my first day on the Sprout Farm which muppet I was, by the supervisor.

"Gonzo." I answered, with Zero hesitation.

@Felthry Tower offense RTS. And it had an internet chatroom and lobby before anything else did.

@nimbius@mastodon.social Was there such a time EA wasn't trash?

I had Chuck Yeager's Flight Simulator on 386 and it was back when they were Electronic Arts.

They were still trash.

Anyone here remember the 90s Pc real Time strategy game Netstorm?
