Laying around reading priory of the orange tree today. Really loving it so far.

I tried to cook Thai (Tom yum, Tod mun pla, yum woon Sen) last night and didn’t even get the soup finished before my energy tanked and I had to put it all away, so now I’m waiting for my soup to warm up so I can finish it. Thinking about having more coffee just in case. Fake energy is still energy right??

Autoimmune diseases suck ☹️

Suffering (has a migraine and has to pack to go back to school from winter break but moving makes everything worse and I can’t take my migraine meds because I’m side effects georg)

#j rambles #feel free to ignore this #I just wanted to complain #I really wish my migraine meds didn’t fuck me up #and the daily ones got left in my dorm so it’s not like they have been much help #I also procrastinated and didn’t do any packing before today (not that I really did much today either but that’s not the point) #woooooo #I am leaving tomorrow morning

I am running on four hours of sleep, I have an infinite amount of work to do on my art project and my flu shot is making me feel like shit on top of my back hurting for reasons I don’t have the energy to explain. Anyway just kinda wanted to complain but apple cider and Edward scissorhands are two pretty great things

It's my birthday and I'm bored at work

#theres nothing more to the post #i just wanted to complain

[i-havenothingelsetopost]

i have learnt to grit my teeth and survive through google docs putting a red squiggly line under every "armour" and "colour" and "rumour" i write but could it PLEASE stop trying to correct "axe" into "ax" i'm going to bite someone

#i can't switch the locale to british english because if i have to suffer this with ''realize'' correcting to ''realise'' #i'm going to need to be trapped in a labyrinth #turning off spelling and grammar help is also not an option because i have trouble with english articles and prepositions and find that #genuinely helpful for it #i just wanted to complain

(silly rant below)

I’m slightly upset abt ram tubbo designs becoming popular again because people FINALLY stopped comparing my faun ocs to Tubbo and I do not want to go back to that era😭😭

it’s kind of my fault considering my ocs designs tend to be basic af but that’s the point!! I make them basic so I can doodle them on my biology homework!! I just wish people knew Tubbo isn’t the only faun character out there lol

anyways the deer character above is like 3 years old now irl and I love him so much that I forget other people don’t know he exists sometimes.. like wydm you don’t know his lore and origin and personality and choices and voice? he’s been here forever you must live under a rock/sarc

ASIDE FROM THAT here’s an old doodle of him carrying Clementine bc she’s lazy

#tubbo stans please don’t attack me this is not at all his fault nor do I plan him or the artists #I’m just being dramatic on my blog because I can #I think the tubbo design is very pretty #im just petty because my silly little design happens to be similar to his silly design #and many people have told me he’s a copy of tubbo #like YES I SEE IT but he was not made with tubbo in mind at all #It was a poor coincidence #and I was relieved when dsmp ended because the general public would stop seeing a white faun and think it was tubbo #I thought tubbo was supposed to be tweek from South Park?? #how did he even evolve into a faun #what drugs were the fanartists on and how do I get them #if you disagree that’s fine #i just wanted to complain #that’s it #bye bye

#maybe im just a grouch but by the gods that site is insufferable #when i first downloaded it it was alright #my fyp was mostly beekeeping vids and short skits with vine energy #granted without the 7 second limit they really dragged on far too long but some of the stuff was still pretty funny #not nearly as god tier quality as vine was in its prime but it was a good filler app #but now everyone i followed is posting “oh look at this new ai filter that makes me look like paw patrol” #and “ooo this ai filter makes me look like idk an airplane or smth” ill be honest i scroll past as soon as they say “filter” #and because everyone i FOLLOW is doing that.. the “algorithm” thinks im into that #so now my entire fyp is ai filters and voice overs #and before you get in the tags and tell me to delete it #yeah im going to (or at least take a break for a bit until i dont feel like smashing my phone in) #i just wanted to complain #OH to clarify i dont hate automated voice readouts #like the text to speech thing is a fantastic accessibility feature #i just hate every single voice people use on tik tok #SPECIFICALLY that rocket raccoon sounding motherfucker #and also that woman who sounds like shes holding a carrot in her teeth #tiktok #poll #tiktok poll #internet

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.

capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.

now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.

and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.

and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.

and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".

it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

#this was much longer i had to cut it down for legibility #but i do want to say i am aware this post doesnt touch on human rights violations as a result of fast fashion #that is because it deserves its own post with a completely different tone #i am an environmental educator #so that's what i know the most about. it wouldn't be appropriate of me to mention off-hand the real and legitimate suffering #that people are going through #without doing my research and providing real ways to help #this is a vent post about a thing i'm watching happen; not a call to action. it would be INCREDIBLY demeaning #to all those affected by the fast fashion industry to pretend that a post like this could speak to their suffering #unfortunately one of the horrible things about latestage capitalism as an activist is that SO many things are linked to this #and i WANT to talk about all of them but it would be a book in its own right. in fact there ARE books about each level of this #and i encourage you to seek them out and read them!!! i am not an expert on that i am just a person on tumblr doing my favorite activity #(complaining) #and it's like - this is the individual versus the industry problem again right because im blaming myself #for being an expert on environmental disaster (which is fucking important) but not knowing EVERYTHING about fast fashion #i'm blaming myself for not covering the many layers of this incredibly complicated problem im pointing out #rather than being like. yeah so actually the fault here lies with the billion dollar industries actually. #my failure to be able to condense an incredibly immense problem that is BOOK-LENGTH into a single text post that i post for free #is not in ANY fucking way the same amount of harm as. you know. the ACTUAL COMPANIES doing this ACTUAL THING for ACTUAL MONEY. #anyway im gonna go donate money while i'm thinking about it. maybe you can too. we can both just agree - well i fuckin tried didn't i #which is more than their CEOs can say

Very stupid if me to assume that being so tired I was barely staying awake meant I could fall asleep. Obviously it meant I’d go to bed at 8:30 and still be awake at 2.
