 beep-boop look at me, building up my computer and setting up a new TV
 
 I like making things work, I like making things turn on, I like the way they
 glitter when they light up the room at dark
 
 it feels good to build up
 this new functionality
 
 it feels good to make things work and go
 "beep"
 when they turn on
 
 ... I should get a buzzer for my motherboard. Like, a really quiet one, that's
 just louder than the fans.
 
 looks at dwindling bank account
 
 oh right, nobody will hire me, so.
 
 I wonder if they would if I could still pass for a man?

 Before people invented walking, we used to roll around like cigarettes.
 
 Then, someone figured out how to roll like an egg, and that changed
 everything

 1 2 3 - 1... 2... 3... - 1 2 3 means SOS, so if you hear it that means
 someone's in trouble.
 
 don't go about willy nilly saying it though.

 @user-1218 
 
 playing one of my 4 gameboys, reading some of my books or journals, using their
 own brought devices, playing with my cat (she's not sociable but if you don't
 mind her claws she can fight and that's kinda fun) watching something on the
 TV, talking with other people, making / eating food, um... sleeping... and
 "sleeping"... idk what else tho. Drawing? Getting stoned? I have lots of bad
 edibles.

 Okay. >.< if you don't like "all things are defined in waves", then how
 about this. Stop thinking of reality as a fluid and start thinking of it as a
 collection of mutually exclusive yet "gravitic" fields.
 
 (not actual gravity, same mechanic though.)

 African Americans have done more than enough to be considered native to
 America. Stop treating them as second class citizens just because you are
 different. They are the same as you in some respects, better in others, and
 worse in others. That is what it means to be similar, yet
 distinct.
 
 Deal with it.

 I am currently in the stages of applying to work at a multinational corporation
 primarily located outside of America. It is a respectable institution that
 commands great respect.
 
 However, I am borderline incapable. If I am chosen to work there, I
 will fail and I will embarrass America on the world stage. I
 am not one of our best, nor am I one of our brightest and boldest. I have
 unique perspectives, and those are valuable, but the society
 and the systems I find myself in has proven incapable of utilizing me to my
 utmost potential.
 
 I must work. I cannot work. But I must. I am disabled. But I must be able.
 Capitalism compels it.
 
 Would that our system could be something consensual. I am worth more as a
 writer than a laborer. Yet laborers are the only ones being hired.
 
 I am not an engineer. I enjoy engineering.
 
 I am not a laborer. I enjoy labor.
 
 I am a writer, and perhaps little else besides.
 
 When I die, nothing remains of me but my bones. My words are not desired. My
 life is not impactful. I am not special.
 
 Well... Not special since I have given up cannabis. If I started smoking weed,
 if I felt secure and enough to do so, perhaps I might utilize my instability
 for great (GREAT) artistic ends.
 
 But art is labor. And labor is difficult.
 
 Where am I to go from here? I cannot pay rent. I am isolated and alone. I am
 deprived of affection. I crave it. I am lost in my own heart, begging the world
 to give me a start, but the start has passed long ago. There is nothing to do
 but what I've been meant to do, what I've been hiding from myself and the
 world. I have been wasting my talent on tweets. How mundane.
 
 ... I can do better than profane.
