realizing that I’m on the wrong medication. prozac has made me more in touch with my emotions and I’m dreaming again, but the rest of it is just chaotic. been very bad for my cPTSD especially. everything has been extremely triggering and it’s been hard to talk to friends about it.

Hey everyone, I'm really in a bind. I was just told earlier today that my job will be terminating me on October 13th, exactly one day before my upcoming requested paid medical leave to recover from bottom surgery. I intend to fight this in court, but I could really use some help in the meantime.

testing the waters here… I have to be out of my apartment by 12/1 and I’m looking for a 1 bedroom apartment to move into with my boyfriend and our cats. would a gofundme be the most embarrassing thing in the world??? (I would love to get to a place where I don’t have to ask questions like this.)

I had this idea from reading the elizabeth holmes mouse post and then I couldn't do anything else until i painted the idea to completion
It is a cartoon mouse, like Jerry from Tom and Jerry, shaped like a wedge of cheese presumably because it has eaten a wedge of cheese. The mouse has Elizabeth Holmes' face. The mouse is saying "Why would I deceive you? There's no reason for me to do that."Nathan Fielder, looking into a fridge where the mouse has eaten a cheese, says skeptically "Okay. Alright."

"oppression is bad, therefore we should try to imagine a better world. no matter how popular an oppressive structure may be, we are still justified in opposing it." "but SOME oppression has mass appeal????? i am literally incapable of computing what you are saying. what is 'b-a-d' and 'g-o-o-d'?"

every so often i try actually engaging with a liberal in good faith and am absolutely floored by how impossible they find the concept of "ethical claims." they can ONLY think in terms of "mass appeal." they're like a religious person's idea of non-religious people. zero concept of right and wrong

I started writing about horror when I was 18. I'm 36. I've been harassed, doxed, and had targeted hate campaigns lobbied against me. Thinking that I've gotten to where I am now because I somehow charmed "straight white gatekeepers" ignores my skill, resilience, & years of being treated like shit.
