 oh huh I really don't want to work anymore.
 
 I used to, but they wouldn't let me.
 
 Then they did let me, but I worked too hard and burnt out.
 
 Then I recovered for a while, and asked to work again, and they said no.
 Repeatedly.
 
 I don't think I want to work anymore. It's an abusive relationship. It feels
 demeaning. I'm better than employment.
 
 [rent comes due]
 
 oh no

tumblr post titled "this is not for you."  this is a post aimed at me and other people who constantly fall into guilt spirals over all the things they can't do, and feel they should somehow magically be able to do anyway.  For me, and for the others, this is a gentle reminder:  - posts asking for monetary donations are speaking to people who *have* money. not your broke ass, still worrying about how to buy food for next month.  - posts asking you to care about [extreme injustice of the day] are speaking to people who HAVE energy to care. not you, hanging onto your sanity by the fingernails.  and, most importantly: posts telling you that you are horrible/cheap/awful/rude/unworthy/unlikable if you don't pay/reblog/signal boost/care? those posts can die in a fucking fire.  too long; didn't listen: posts asking for shit you are not physically or mentally able to give?  THOSE POSTS ARE NOT FOR YOU.

 @user-95 when people in public see me I'm usually in a bicycle helmet or a
 witch hat. I used to wear a baseball cap but my favorite one got old so I try
 not to wear it too often. I also have this feather flower clip that I put in
 my hair, it's bright red and black. It was for a halloween costume 5-8 years
 back : )

 🖼
I feel like education, by default, should not be hard.  "you get out of it what you put into it" is something I always heard of school  but when I got there, I found I was compelled to become what the state wanted me to be.  they need competent workers, to work the farms and tend to their industries, so of course I should be able to do 3+3  then somewhere along the line it became... something else.  "most people don't need trigonometry." that's also something I heard. I disagree that trigonometry is not necessary to be.  I just... don't think it should be forced into a childs head with a sledgehammer and inspiring dread.  I think math is beautiful, it teaches one to see  but really, vision's not necessary.  not for what they want you to be.  take it from me, a most misbegotten and vile witch-to-be, that nothing's as simple as they'll tell you.  I had good teachers, it's true, they taught me to work and to follow through, but nothing about me is better or worse off from their influence.  Maybe I'm a bit smarter. Maybe I act a bit like them. Maybe they helped me through difficult times, or perhaps they showed me a splash of my future.  but I am who I am because of the soul inside me.  [sorry, ran out of characters]

 🥕 That's just called statistics. And if y'ain't systematizin' your
 statistics properly and rigorously then it's even worse than divinin' entrails
 cause numbers are easier to believe.
 
 I don't love nature because I want to be in it. I love nature because nature
 is important.

 @user-1268 
 
 yes they last quite a while. a year or three if you only have a few, but she
 couldn't stop knitting them so we had some that were close to a decade old.
