#working it out

[autumnsunshine10]

Dear diary

How do I love myself again

When I'm not sure I ever really did

Maybe a time I claimed what was mine

Dropped denial and steeled my spine

When someone I loved wasn't put first

And I still carried out self-care

I cried and supplied needed comfort

I didn't get enough of growing up

And instead of dismissing what I felt

I acknowledged its validity then moved on

Before I let anyone else dictate my worth

Winter too far to freezingly squeeze

All vitality and assurance from my heart

I didn't need an excuse to love

Just the beat of my heart was enough

Every reason was reasonable

Back before I dissolved under the weight

Of expectations--taking credit for wrongs

That were never mine to right

How do I love myself again?

Tear out this page and start afresh

Forging forward on a blank new one

Writing to please me first and foremost

While sharing with those I care

Only that which I can actually spare

Prompts: rip the page out; all gone; excuse the reason

"So here's how this is gonna work."

I've heard this before, but I let him go through his spiel . . . and then agreed to all of his demands, right down to "take my fucking nut and swallow it!"

What if I posted a part 2 of my genderfluid Steve fic literally on the one year anniversary of it being out. I think that could be fun

Hi, everyone!

Mike Birbiglia's new podcast episode is out, and he's got Pete Holmes on again—excellent!

This is a wonderful discussion of comedy by two greats, and Pete brings up Jerrod Carmichael's Rothaniel twice 🙌🏼

Here's a beautiful explanation of the HBO comedy special at 44 minutes in.

Pete: Do you think Jerrod Carmichael felt fantastic after he did Rothaniel? And what a fucking gift it is.

Mike: Yeah, it is a gift.

Pete: And you, when you do all your shows, I'm not just saying...

Mike: I think that special is a gift.

Pete: It is. It's a work of art!

Mike: That's an example of someone who—and if people haven't seen Rothaniel, uh, I don't want to...spoiler alert, if you read about it, he comes out of the closet in the special.

Pete: 20 minutes in.

Mike: Yeah. And...it is a gift because he doesn't have to do that.

Pete: Nope!

Mike: It only has ramifications on his life that are complicated with his mom, people who he's close to, and that's challenging. Those are real challenges. And he gives it to the audience.

Pete: That's the risk, and that's what you're trying to model...I'm trying to model to them. I say in my act, "I'm scared...of my dad." And then I also say some truth and hopefully, not consciously, but somewhere in there they're going, "we can be scared and do it anyway." And that's kinda the whole thing.

What a lovely description of Jerrod's special and the power of onstage vulnerability!

And if you want more info on Rothaniel, you have come to the right place! I was lucky enough to attend a taping (one of 4 that Bo Burnham masterfully edited together), and I have audience interviews here.

Enjoy the podcast episode, and keep it here for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

"This person has a secret onlyfans!" "This artist does NSFW commissions!" "This author writes porn on the side!" I cannot begin to tell you how swag and awesome that is.

Ideal work schedule:

I show up and am given a list of cognitively engaging but achievable tasks

I complete the list

I leave immedietly

#guy who is getting out of work at 1pm!!!! 📢 #tomorrow is my last day but u have loved this job. i love to leave. #trb.txt #i* have

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

#socialist #socialism #communism #anti capitalism #the belief that we won’t work under capitalism genuinely makes me so mad #like #you realize the goal of social reform is to abolish imperialism right? #there won’t be good just showing up out of nowhere without slavery and/or imperialism

i hate when people call marcille a girlfailure btw like SHE ISNT. and shes not a ”girlboss” either. this is a neurotic and Permanently On The Edge of a Breakdown overachiever late 20s virgin just out of her phd program with permanently shaky hands from an addiction to overly sugary coffee and a deep desire to be crushed to death under falins giant jugs no matter the cost. the only thing shes ever ”failed” at is going to theraphy

#she works hard and succeeds 24/7 she just has bunny animal neurosis. and shes surrounded by the toudens which is like if a small animals #closest two friends were 2 giant dogs that make it freak out 24/7 #dungeon meshi

Officer: “This is gonna cost you.”

And it did; one minute for every mile over the limit . . . for all three of them! 

I always cough up (or in this case swallow).

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes

just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks

there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.

edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.

#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite
