just cried in my boss’ face for like five minutes about how frustrating it is to come in here and work ten hours with no help and doing five different tasks at once and he just looked at me and said “alright. well corporate might come in today so be on the look out”

just some idle thoughts.
what is there to do anymore? why should i keep fighting? every day i wake up and find a new monstrocity that just lets me know how much the state despises me and how unsafe it is for me to even fucking exist anymore.
what is there to do?
it doesnt feel like anything is working. everything is so overwhelming and nothing feels like its changing. people are too divided to do fucking anything anymore. fascism is here. it is now. and there wont be anyone to save us from it.
im terrified about facing extermination. im terrified about i and my friends facing extermination.
im so so tired of having all this anger, all this rage, all of this want to change and being nothing but useless. i have no license, no means of income, i live in an isolated area and im riding that sweet sweet poverty line hard. i cant go out and organize because there arent people around. even if there were, gas is now stupidly fucking expensive and we're about to hit a depression-era recession.
everywhere, down the long winding roads here, i see signs from people who want me dead. i hear their conversations with my family. the slurs, the hatred.
what is there to do anymore?
i have so much anger. so much frustration, so much fucking rage and its so fucking useless.
what is there to fight for? wouldnt it be easier to just let it all happen? cause it sure feels like its going to, no matter what.
but i cant. i know i cant. i have to be angry, i have to fight, i have to. i cant surrender to it. but man is it tough.
i just dont know anymore. collective action is the only way to combat this, but its hard when you're the only one in your area and you have no way of collectivizing because you dont have some of the base requirements of being an adult marked off yet.
goodbye, civil liberties. goodbye, right to exist. i wish i knew about my identity five years prior. maybe id be a little safer, and maybe i couldve already started my journey. maybe not.
i'll find solace in my music as always. im just tired and afraid. i know thats what those who are in power and want to eradicate my existence want. and im very sorry to say that there, they've won.
Seeds we sow,
But don't know what we grow.
Make or mar,
Sear flowers on this field of blood.
Hope we seed,
We water and we wait in need.
With Heaven's call,
Unavoidably buying the fall!
Now there's one sun and there is one moon, dear,
And whichever god's the one for you.
Just remember that the one you choose here,
Makes enemies no matter who.
Oh well love is here and so is hate,
But mainly death is what dictates.
Love is endless, immortal they say,
So might be true!
Fair enough, but be that as it may,
Death is just a kiss away.
Death is just,
A kiss,
Away...

It's kinda shocking to me how few people seem to know how prevalent the 'my great grandmother was cherokee' myth is and how it's almost never actually true, especially when it comes with things like 'never signed up' or 'fell off the trail' or 'courthouse burned down destorying the documentation' etc etc.
People just don't even seem to know the history like.. when the Trail happened. My great great great grandfather was 2 years old during Removal in 1838, so peoples 'my great grandmother hid in the mountains!' is so clearly wrong. And we have rolls. From before and after removal, rolls done by cherokee nation and others by the government, rolls that were not stored in one random flammable courthouse. It's not difficult to find the actual evidence of ancestry.
And just.. there are lots of ways those family stories get started. It was a practice during the confederacy to claim cherokee ancestry to show one's family had 'deep roots in the south' that they were there before the cherokee were removed. Many people pretended to be cherokee and applied for the Guion-Miller payout just to try to steal money meant for cherokees - 2/3rds of the applicants were denied for having 0 proof of actual cherokee ancestry. [We even see lawyers advertising signing up for the Miller roll just to try to get free money.] And the myth even started in some families in the cherokee land lotteries, where the land stolen from us was raffled off, including the house and everything that was left behind when the cherokees were removed. We have seen people whose families just take these things stolen from the cherokee family and adopt them into their own family story, saying that they were cherokee themselves.
If you had some family story about being cherokee and you wanna have proof one way or the other, check out this Facebook group run by expert cherokee genealogists that do research for free. Just please read the rules fully and respect the researchers. They run thousands of people's ancestries a year and their average is only around 0.7% of lines they run actually end up having true cherokee ancestry.

I’m sorry it’s just really not fucking fair that In THE ACTUAL MOVIE it can imply something between Gwen and Hobie but the SECOND a people started shipping two black boys together then It became a huge fucking problem, here’s the thing If Hobie is actually older and they never say that in the movie but imply something to the audience that him and a sixteen year old girl could possibly have something between them THEN THATS GROSS I DONT CARE HOW GOOD THE MOVIE IS! But Hobie is always a teenager, in other crossovers and his comics he is around 16, he has met miles before in canon the ships not new it was just small, I hate that every single fandom I try to enjoy now has this fucking problem It’s totally okay if you don’t like a ship but just say you don’t vibe with it and move on for the love of god
