Hope you like increasing profits for the worst of us all, because that's the basis of human civilization.

Lol lunch breaks. I wonder how soon it takes for that to be on the chopping block too. :(
- In many positions it already is. Eating at your station is common in many industries.
- That's called salaried employment.
- They took away lunch breaks 4 years ago for me :(

I think we need to educate people that patriarchy is not about horses! That normally turns them off to it.
- The Gender Accelerationist Manifesto is a good essay for that.
  
  I don't think the audience that needs to hear this message can read.

Reading theory helps us analyze what's wrong with our society, how we can solve these issues, and gives us the ability to struggle for this change. I keep a theory reading list for beginners that I can link, if anyone wants it.

the failed gambit that the dnc used to create our mess is making me thankful for the distraction of clocking back in; the work ennui is a preferable distraction to the election results anxiety. lol
- Reading theory helps keep me from distress. If we know our enemy, and how it operates, we can struggle and defeat it.
  
  starting every single doom binge election coverage watching democracy now first has helped me immensely with the fear and the anxiety comes from learning how far apart democrats are from reality and the seemingly insurmountable hurdles we have to overcome to bring them closer together.

Find a way to make money where you sell your services directly to the customer. No boss or job. Flexible schedule. Good money.
Yes, drug dealer is one such, but there are others.
- I found I couldn't do it. I have a set of traumas that means I go into a weird fugue state where I massively undercharge by an order of magnitude and take on every liability. I think it's some sort of rejection dissociation thingy, or like just trying to end the situation as quickly as possible. This meant I had made very little money and promised a lot, and also came to hate my hobby.
  Now that I have a job, the stakes are much lower, I get regular pay, and I also pretty much never have to negotiate directly with clients.
  It took a really long time to get that job though, given that job searching also requires skills I do not have

Find a job you actually enjoy doing?
- fuck I'm extremely far into my career I wish I got this tip sooner
