when mitski said “i cry at the start of every movie / i guess cause i wish i was making things too / but i’m working for the knife” she was so real for that

#i hate this capitalistic hellscape #being an artist in a non-art profession is agonizing sometimes #i love what i do don’t get me wrong and i don’t regret being in the field i work in #but man in another life i’d be getting my MFA and having exhibitions #participating in art shows and making short films #i often tell myself i can’t wait to finish grad school so i can work in order to have the money to create things #i must create #if i can’t create then i am not myself

Sometimes I just math around w/ my wages and check minimum wage

Anyhow currently I make a whole 3 bucks above minimum wage hourly In october that might drop down to 79cents above minimum wage hourly though

I hope no one is surprised if I am not going above and beyond lmao

#txts #i hate this capitalistic hellscape #not american so thank fuck i can afford my place #which i got lucky with really #but still....bruh #its also only 3 bucks more bc we had a wage raise at the beginning of this year #however in may my taxes will be raised bc i am over 24 and childless and i think they plan to increase that one even more in july or such #so....fucking rip #i think average rent in 2021 was like 700bucks #i am below that luckily #i dont live in the cheapest part but lets be honest #it's kinda a trash city with nothing in it #and surrounded by equally trash places #gotta drive out to get to the fancey bits uwu #i mean i like it-it isn't horrendous don't think that #not living the wanna-be ghetto live or any shit like that #it's just.....eh #and bleh and the ppl are rude #which we KNOW bc whenever we work in other cities or visit the vibes are immediately different #so something is up there lads #anyhow thinking about money and even the future is depressing #like congrats! you get about 10months of good wage #woops it's right near the assend of minimum wage now haha #i will bite someone #raise that fucking wage again or there will be consequences

Each time I tell myself that maybe I should buy a printer I am reminded of how absolutely ridiculous it is now that you get to choose between overpriced cartridges or a monthly subscription.

I'm better off going to the library to get my shit printed at this point.

#fuck this #i hate the capitalist hellscape we're in #and to the younger peeps who have only known this: no it hasn't always been this way

Why do airlines want you to create a booking before they help you.

Bitch. I'm trying to find a flight that fits my needs, because traveling with a large dog is approximately 10x more complicated and expensive that it has any right to be.

Why would I book a flight, then ask if I'm allowed to bring my dog on the flight, and get told no and hope I can refund the flight, when I can make sure he can fly BEFORE I give you my money??? Why is that so hard to understand???

Not to say something so capitalist as a socialist, but I kind of don't care if the Barbie movie is actually some big ploy to sell more barbies, its been so much fun to see people excited about something that is at its core is made for girls enjoyment, for a traditionally feminine interest to be celebrated not ridiculed. Also at least its propaganda to buy dolls not like military propaganda or something

#Barbie movie #my post #seeing people switch up on this movie has low key annoyed me so i made a post #we live in a capitalist hellscape anyway at least let us have this one fun capitalist movie okay #also some of the backlash has just felt super misogynistic #like we get like 5 marvel movies a year for like the last decade which is also just there to sell toys and comics and trips to disney #if were using the same logic people are using about barbie #but we get one (1) doll movie and suddenly its a problem #and it just feels like the bullshit criticism barbie always gets #like why do people hate to see the original girlboss win #feel free to reblog this if you want #idk if i clearly explained what i feel but yeah it just annoying me

Real talk though, why did we build a society where human connection is elusive and illusory and public spaces are nonexistent or hostile to life?*

I keep talking about building a 'found family' when I know the only way to meet people outside work is on apps and I have to moonlight as an event coordinator just to see them once every 3-4 months. I rarely have the energy to do that. If we hang out it will inevitably cost both of us $20-$50. They'll text me 'I had fun!' and I'll say 'yeah, we should do this again soon!' and then I'll go home and have another mental breakdown over the impossibility of ever achieving real human connection in this dystopian nightmare I can't afford to escape.

*(we know why. It's been the last whole century of corporate greed and racism that poisoned everything.)

Why is it nearly impossible to leave the United States to go on vacation anywhere?

Want to visit the Caribbean for a week? $2,000 plane ticket.

Want to visit the United Kingdom? $2,300 plane ticket.

Land of the free? Fuck that....

No one can afford to leave or stay. I hate it here.

#america is a hellscape #no one gets out #i fucking hate it here #capitalist hell #$8000 to fly my family anywhere outside of the USA #might as well take out a second mortgage

sorry im getting really pissed off about how the borderlands games (and to an extent, the fandom) no longer acknowledge so many of the vault hunters as shitty people. like, hardly any of them are good people?? at least at the start of their stories. with lilith it feels like they refuse to let her have a single character flaw. they refuse to acknowledge that brick enjoyed being a bandit. zer0 isnt someone who delights in the art of murder and terror just because it makes them smile. tim likes violence, just not to the degree jack did. tim isnt some just damsel in distress yet hes treated like he is. even the modern vault hunters do not have good origins. but theyre treated like saints for wanting to be vault hunters.

being a vault hunter in the modern games is not a merc job where some people just happen to stumble into crises and where some people just happen to find the glory and fortune theyre looking for. being a vault hunter is now a noble cause rather than a selfish or greedy one. whats up with that

no vault hunter previously went into vault hunting wanting to be good people. they had their own selfish reasons and were bands of misfits forced to bond.

funnily enough, the only vault hunter who was allowed to become a villain was a woman of color.

anyway.

#this was spurred on by #once again #how the fandom treats troy vs tim #and how the game itself treats troy vs tim #sure im probably over analyzing the silly gun mcshooty game #but all art can be insanely deep. and all art is political #and i fucking hate it when the politics of games are dumbed down as the franchise gets more popular #and theyre dumbing it all down for the masses #THE FUCKING POINT OF THE FIRST BORDERLANDS GAME WAS THAT EVERYONE IN THIS UNIVERSE SUCKS #SOME JUST SUCK MORE THAN OTHERS #BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE TO SCRAPE BY IN A CAPITALIST HELLSCAPE #and now the only critique of capitalism we get is when theyre the capitalism punching bag companies #like maliwan in 3

I hate living in this Kafkaesque nightmare with upbeat crackly elevator wait music with automated options. I hate you capitalism I hate you capitalism I hate you capitalism I HATE YOU CAPITALISM

I feel like a lot of nostalgia-marketing doesn't work that well on me.

Though maybe it's 50% that I am too young for a lot of 80s nostalgia. Though I don't feel like I have nostalgia for the 90s. Like I guess I liked the clear tinted plastic electronics and I miss some relics of bygone times, but not in a "remember the thing back then huh huh? does it make you excited for this tv show/movie???" way.

That and like even if someone tries to revive something I liked a while ago, part of me is like IT'S TOO LATE. WE'RE DIFFERENT PEOPLE NOW.

Honestly, I feel like a lot of stories have impact because they came into your life at the time you needed it. ((Which I guess is why I tend not to start new things until I am in the Mood™))

Like I feel like a lot of times when people try to shunt "the classics" or "the foundational media" upon me, I'm just like.... these aren't the stories I need in my heart for what I am going through right now.

#Maybe I was just a really miserable child so going REMEMBER THAT AGE WHEN YOU FELT LIKE EVERYONE HATED YOU?! is ....not ideal... #was childhood actually a simpler time when you always felt like you had no control #nostalgia #or lack thereof #anyway my current mood is queers in a capitalist hellscape
