its so weird seeing posts that mock uncle jim for worrying about li ming's queerness as though his dead boyfriend's parents (legally) stealing his entire life savings and leaving him to manage a restaurant business specifically because gay couples aren't legally recognized as couples wasn't what put him in a cycle of crushing debt and endless poverty in the first place

#yeah hi CONTEXT MATTERS #can western fandom pls stop ignoring this shows biting social commentary on queer people not being legally recognized #also heart is the darling of all time BUT his careless lie literally forced li ming to work off a debt that was never his #and wouldve seriously impacted jim's business and financial state had wen not offered to work free #which was a boon but having to live on someone elses generosity like that is still a stress #because people (understandably!!!!) can and do get tired of giving away a lot of time and energy for nothing #wen is uncommonly generous and luckily its not too long before other circumstances help lift jim to safer footing #but none of that was SECURE getting to that point #jim is right to worry! it comes out badly and li ming's queerness is not the actual issue but jims reasoning is EXTREMELY UNDERSTANDABLE #sighs #moonlight chicken

TTS Cass being insanely jealous of Gothel abandoning her for Rapunzel when Cass knows Gothel sucked (literally stole Rapunzel and kept her prisoner for almost 2 decades) and when Cass has a loving stepfather is still so fucking stupid. And it doesn’t even make sense in the context of Crossing the Line.

#crossing the line is clearly about power dynamics/rapunzel having more political and social power #born into wealth. born with special powers. cass has to work twice as hard for that recognition #that respect and admiration #and as someone lower on the rung she legally has to defer to rapunzel #the beggars and the choosers. the winners and the losers #the luckless and the blessed #she’s constantly overshadowed by rapunzel and she’s forced to obey rapunzel as her superior #she’s also sick of being overlooked by her dad - the head of the guard #and the subtext is that it’s bc she’s a woman. she’s expected to be a handmaiden. the corona guard is full of men #and that’s another layer to her fed up with the social/political order and wanting to defy it #to take power and cross the line #‘​you don’t know how much I’ve been denied’ !!! #like it’s such a good song and it sucks that it ultimately makes no sense #tangled the series #sorry it showed up on my playlist and i got mad lmao

Hey y'all, I'm apparently 31$ short for rent, food stamps don't come in for three more days, and we're getting 300$ less in food stamps now that the c0vid crisis status has passed. I really need some support going forward. This just isn't enough to live off of. We were barely making it work before.

Firstly, can someone spot me 31$ for the rent. I'm in the red so I can only take it through PayPal to send to my roommate. I will draw you so many sketches. Full art pieces if you can help fill the 300$ food gap left behind by the govt in their cutting off emergency social support. Allergy safe soy free food is hard to find. I can't make everything by hand, I can't stand for very long without intense pain. I have to take short cuts.

PayPal: @theogandall

And then... I'd love to get more patrons to ease my mind in the future. I currently only have the one. https://www.patreon.com/Rosesinclover

Here's my latest piece to show I'm good for it

#panic #every fucking month #emergency #forced poverty #if you're disabled and you cant work clap your hands #like legally i can't work #just going to scream here inside my mind #because we already have three days where we can't fuckin eat much

So, Target has decided to fire employees who purchase a Stanley cup. Yeah the same Stanley cups that have lead in them. Target's reasoning is that they violated a policy which doesn't allow employees to gain an "unfair advantage" over customers when it comes to purchasing limited items. Managers' reasoning for allowing employees to buy the cup is that it's a cup and why on Earth should people not be allowed to buy them. My opinion is scalping is bad and a problem that needs to be better addressed by companies. The solution is not to fire employees for buying limited items, even if they put one to the side for themselves to purchase after work. I think a much better solution is one we already use, which is the good old fashioned purchase limit paired with not making only like 1 of something per every hundred of people wanting it. You want to buy a few? Sure, maybe you're buying the others for friends or family or something who also like the thing. You want to buy 10? 50? The entire stock on display and all in the back? Absolutely not, sir madam or other.

Also if you're a Target employee who got fired, definitely make sure to file for unemployment and have the state investigate for unlawful termination. It might not be considered as such because it was a stupid policy but still a policy, but might as well find out and have them go after Target if it is. (And no, "at-will" does not mean that an employer can fire you for absolutely any reason. They just want you to think that so you don't bother to track conversations in written (text/e-mail/etc) form and have state labor departments investigate when you get fired and are applying for unemployment.)

#target #stanley cups #I not only would enjoy seeing a mass boycott of Target for this #I would also enjoy seeing it turn out that this is considered unlawful termination in many states #by the way unlawful termination is usually when you get fired because of someone's bigotry or you reported a problem with someone to HR #or your boss etc #but I'm hoping things like this are considered stupid enough to count as unlawful #by the way if you ever are fired make sure you ask your employer why you are being fired #they are legally required to tell you a reason I'm pretty sure #if they decide not to tell you you can take that e-mail/text and send it to your state's labor department while filing unemployment #and report the company for unlawful termination #if you spoke to them in person about why you were fired then no worries #just send a follow-up text or e-mail asking them to confirm what they said in the conversation #if they change it or say they don't have to tell you or ignore the e-mail/text you can also submit that to the labor department #also if they try to give you a reason that sounds like it would be legitimate just report them anyway if you suspect it #and still make sure to get everything you can in writing to send in #because the state labor department will still investigate the matter in a way intended to trip up companies trying to lie #oh and also if you suspect you will be fired soon always let the employer fire you #if they offer to let you resign or quit they are trying to avoid the state investigating them lol #and if they reduce your hours to try and force you to quit or stop calling you in to work you can report that too

… still thinking about how Iris suggesting an annulment is really lovely in theory, but is actually completely not applicable to this situation. why does this show insist on forcing me to suspend logic and/or all legal knowledge I posses??

#I appreciate the sentiment from her but... it was a real marriage if they signed the legal papers and neither were being forced or misled #also on a personal aro/ace note here: queer platonic relationships that also result in a marriage are.. actual things? #and they're valid #and if they were content to have a platonic partnership forever that's an okay thing as long as they both are happy #(clearly that doesnt apply here... but just saying if two best friends wanted to get married as besties. thats not inherently wrong) #ldnfv;s its a 'working through my negative feelings about this storyline' kinda night apparently #I feel like this is such a simple thing to know and/or figure out with a google search too #so it just comes across as lazy to me that the writers had this as a solution and had her suggest it to make her be not 'the bad guy' or w/ #just... someone get a legal consultant for the writers room #this is one of those 'might delete later cause why am I venting in the tags like this' situations lmao #<- also cause I like focusing on the positives usually... I'm just having a ~night

i have been going through things to an exceptionally impressive degree on like three separate fronts over the last week. and i finally got done losing my mind about it today and instead turned all my despair into committing several malicious acts. none of which i regret bc the people who will and are suffering as a consequence of my actions all fucking deserve it.

#channeled my mother for a second at work pulling like eight trump cards all at once and using them to obliterate the manager #but ive tried to go through appropriate channels and he is useless so he had his second third fourth fifth chances #goodbye sir you finally crossed the line and forced me to deal with an actual legal/safety issue #so ive now gone over your head and sicked the department heads on YOUR boss #also made someone screenshare with me while they put notes on my application case file for school #bc they keep sending me the same canned response liek somehow its my fault my school is bankrupt and didnt give my transcript to the state #additionally am being cc'ed on a friends immigration lawyer emails so i can chime in when he loses his mind like No You Listen Here #like jesus mother fucking CHRIST why do i have to fight for everything tooth and fucking nail

oh it was funny tho, on my birthday two weeks ago my brothers took me out to get food and margaritas and ive never even been tipsy before so i was all like “this feels weird like my eye is gonna roll outta my head :/” and my sister in law started to laugh like “just one of em?” and so i was explaining like “well sometimes i just have bad days where my lazy eye starts traveling and it feels super weird and thats what being tipsy feels like apparently?” and she just looked at me like “0.0 you have a lazy eye?”

no one ever expects that I have a lazy eye cuz I had to train it out of wandering as a child with eyepatches 😎 which SUCKED btw 

#wish i had pictures of that tho #shit was WILD #the eyepatches werent even cool 😔 #they were like skintoned bandaids??? disgusting looking #also you put them on your good eye forcing the bad one to work and god that sucked so much #i absolutely HATE having to use my bad eye #if not for glasses id be legally blind

[riotshotguns]

shitty employers teaching me to be sneaky as usual

#trailcam recordings #restuarant i work at had a new tyrannical phone policy implemented #in which we are to relinquish our phones to the front desk and leave them in an UNLOCKED drawer hntil the end of our shift #which seems unlawful btw but like this place also casually commits money crimes too so like. nothing new there #so as such i’m going to start keeping mine in my bra and telling them i think technology is evil and edison was a witch #bc i mean. what can they do #they can’t prove i’m carrying it without a search which as far as i’m aware they can’t legally conduct without a valid reason #and i don’t think an UNWRITTEN phone policy that i was not forced to sign a contract or agreement to would qualify #idk does anybody else have better knowledge of employee privacy stuff ? i don’t i’m just like. guessing here

[prettyboysdontlookatexplosions]

hm it did occur to me today that possibly witnessing a whole bunch of nightmare discourse around the already nightmarish spectacle of a man using the legal system to continue to ruin the life of the woman who dared to leave him and call him what he was might be activating certain things for me, a person whose parents' divorce trial took five fucking years

#new york state didn't legalize no fault divorce till like 2010 #is a fun fact i think about every now and then for normal reasons #and like that might sound like it's a formality. like they didn't legalize it but everyone basically acted like it was legal #but no my mom's divorce suit got thrown out by westchester family court in like 1993 & she had to try again in manhattan #but yeah 20 years later we've definitely worked all of the patriarchy out of the system #in fact nowadays it's soooooo tragically biased in favor of women #won't anyone think of the poor men being forced at gunpoint to initiate costly and traumatic legal proceedings #that are virtually guaranteed to have no consequence except continuing to make their main character syndrome their ex-wife's problem #a ny way #i am doing fine and honestly in a weird silver lining way it's kind of nice to be like #'oh i guess i gotta process this' #at a phase of my life where i'm like pretty good at processing things #like. we woulda gotten there eventually i think. #but. u kno. can't spell processing without process

i hate you wireless i hate you smart device assistants i hate you voice register i hate you streaming services i hate you [browser that actively sells normal people’s data and/or mines cryptocurrency] i hate you digital-only services i hate you pop-ups that request money or which won’t let you proceed unless you “download the app!” i hate that in a “modern world” that there are several people left behind solely because they cannot afford or manage “modern technology” and there is no (or a lengthy, almost similarly inaccessible) alternative

#gnashes my teeth #jestersvaguely #the more i think about this the more it's just. man... #esp the last bit like you have no fucking clue how many years i spent just lagging behind because i wasn't provided the same resources #that my peers were. solely because they were rich enough for smartphones & the teacher preferred that #way of delivering information. and in one case outright refused to switch over to e-mailing the information because they expected #my friends in the class would let me know. which is just. ohhh so many issues with it #and then even outside of that it's an inconvenience because you can't easily call your parents/guardians if an issue arises without needing #to 1) ask if you're allowed access and 2) if you're sick you're forced to stand up. walk past people as a Show of Shame and talk in an open #space about personal things without crying because someone at the desk is watching you and is irritated you're bothering their work #and then in general the whole thing where it's like ''make sure to take a picture of this'' [the class bell rings and i have to scramble to #write it down while people are packing up and covering the screen and the teacher is erasing it] #LIKE IT'S JUST. UGH. AND THIS ISN'T EVEN GETTING INTO LEGAL ISSUES THAT REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE TECHNOLOGY #my grandparents literally rely on their children - and entrust a LOT of their information to their children. which HAS been used against #them - to manage some of their legal & important shit because it's only through websites or texting & calling services and it's soo #it's so fucked up. i hate how it feels like a requirement these days i hate how much is being transferred to digital platforms #instead of something physical and real. you're just losing SO much and it's. ughh

I kind of wish there was a Wolfram & Hart spinoff. Just following the quirky adventures of demons trying to live a sort of normal life and make a (dis)honest living.

#ats #ats s5 #i just think it's neat #as fucked as w&h was it did a lot of good for demons like harm - the ones who are only evilish #like vamps especially - what are they supposed to do exactly? #what is someone who was turned in high school and abandoned supposed to do exactly? #the sun and being legally dead excludes most jobs and education opportunities #so those vamps are pretty much forced to get by through stealing and squatting in hovels or working in suckhouses #it arguably pushes them to be more evil than they would naturally want to be #whereas a place like w&h allows them to just...be secretaries or office workers or scientists or even lawyers #like they can actually live life

My granny on dad's sad been getting easily sick lately and like i know shes was gonna die someday but i feel bad for not feeling sad about it

#for context shes the one that took care of me and brother when we were kids. back then we were legally obligated to spend time with our dad #at least 6 days a month. but he just left us w her and went to work bc hes an workaholic #my granny treated me badly (bc everyone in this family loves my brother more) and gave me religious trauma and left me alone with strangers #from her church. and then our grandpa (that didnt even live w her anymore) got super sick and his wife refused to take care of him #so she left him with our granny. and granny spent years and so much money on him for nothing. he was going to die anyway #he was barely a shell of a person that could only shit snd piss himself and still she forced herself to care for him because she #believed that if she did she would go to heaven #not even gonna touch on all the problems and hard times she gave my mother #i love and respect my granny for the strong black woman she is but god.... all the trauma she gave me.... #2 this day she still treats me badly 4 being an atheist and gay. she still treats my uncle (her SON) badly 4 being gay and being darkskin. #i wonder if when she dies ill even be able to cry. i remember i cried everytime i had to leave her house when i was a child #like it wasnt all bad you know #i can remember good moments if i think about it #sorry for the trauma dump LOL #been way too much in my head these past few days

If I see one more liberal call for a revolution immediately after calling for a ban on "military style weapons" I'm gonna fucking lose it and start digging a tunnel

Every single jackass who posts that AR-15 versus predator drone meme then posts a picture of Wonder Woman with a sword and says that's how they're gonna defend the right to abortion is a brain dead imbecile

Every single comment about common sense regulations I see is about extra laws that would empower police to decimate inner cities and would never actually get semiautomatic weaponry out of the hands of disillusioned and violent young men. I see no one talking about weapon storage or ways to empower schools to actually get help for these men and I just see people talking about magazine restrictions and banning AR-15s which aren't even the most powerful or most high capacity guns on the market. They're just what's currently ubiquitous because of the military industrial complex and they're about to get replaced by the new SIG 6.8mm rifles. Nobody wants to ban AK-47s even though they're just as easy to acquire and higher caliber. Everyone dismisses gang violence in these conversations like young Black men don't deserve a chance to get out of that hell.

I have so many ideas for policies and regulations for just the firearms side (not even talking UBI and universal healthcare) that would actually solve these massacres and I'm too fucking angry at my friends to even say them because they have to share their stupid fucking Star Wars and Discworld memes to make sure everyone knows how sad they are about another batch of kids dying before they go back to consuming endless streams of Disney content and voting for Democrats who won't lift a finger on this issue.

I have a friend who's not allowed to legally own firearms for a few more years because she was forcibly hospitalized after crashing her car into a tree at night during a suicide attempt that she regretted before the hit happened, and meanwhile her brother has never been hospitalized and still can legally use guns despite ranting and raving in a manic fugue state in his front yard and threatening to kill people while the cops stood there laughing. How the fuck are you going to get every AR-15 off the streets when this is our normal? When cops just let any man light enough keep their guns even against department policy? When schools repeatedly report problem kids and get ignored until after the problem kid has finally shot everyone up? How are you going to stop shootings by banning the sale of only one style of semiautomatic rifle and not doing anything about any other type of gun, or working on any sort of training minimum requirements? Are we gonna talk about how ICE was waiting at the school to arrest any undocumented parents, and how ICE has been implicated in multiple firearms smuggling schemes while using even the slightest suggestion of illegal activity as an excuse to kill any Latino on site, and how undocumented Latino workers often have unregistered firearms because they know cops will not protect them?

23 people are dead. Two adults, 19 kids, and the shooter himself, an 18 year old who was a week away from graduation if his grades were good enough for that. We need a solution, not useless platitudes, and banning exactly one type of gun then calling for a revolution like you have emptily for the past five years is a useless platitude. These are people who hid at home during the BLM protests who think they're gonna change something.

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE YOUR REVOLUTION WITHOUT WEAPONS?

#raid mom's safe #buy right before the shooting #there are so many things we could do #raise the age for purchasing all guns and not just handguns to 25 #raise that for joining the military too #require safes and create a licensure framework that involves a free but extensive class on both the mechanical and use side of firearms #and on force usage de-escalation legal and moral frameworks and ethics #make testing requirements with a minimum of five years between tests for renewal and make it so taking the test is mandatory time off #make voting that too #all gun stores and ranges and police stations must provide a free and easy to use firearm lockup with no questions asked #domestic violence is an automatic no ownership offense and dv convicts must face tests that are much more thorough than other felons #to get their rights back #and must submit to yearly inspections #part of licensure should frankly be safe storage inspections by non-police legal professionals #safe storage is part of self defense and I'm tired of the 2a community pretending it isn't #i would only accept at home ammo storage restrictions if there was a price cap on ammunition just like there should be for gas #that way it's not a burden to buy a small amount to practice with at the range #and frankly ammo restrictions feel against the idea of labor being armed ala marx #so im still working on that concept #perhaps community ammo banks become a thing #this kid blew fucking $2000 minimum on two daniel defense rifles and 370 rounds of .223 then killed his grandma and shot up a school so #perhaps just restricting the amount you can get in one purchase (again with a price cap) is the way to go #we do occasionally see stockpiler shooters but thats very rare compared to or #from either stores or straw buyers

Even just half-heartedly looking for work as someone who is legally blind, autistic, with no highschool diploma, GED, or degrees and who can't leave the house is a very specific kind of let-down and disappointment that just really makes a person depressed.

#irl #vent #suicidal ideation #i am a money sink and a financial burden and trying to look for ways to fix that turns up nothing!!! #society abandons those who cannot work!!! and i sure do seem to be unemployable!!! #like #i would need a work from home job that doesnt require a highschool diploma ged or a degree that i can do as someone who is legally blind #at the LEAST #even just being a cashier at pet smart requires a fucking highschool diploma!!! and i cant even do that sort of work anymore!!! #i dont have any fancy little talents or areas of expertise either!!! i cant code i suck at source work i cant do graphic design!!! #what am i supposed to do #can someone just like put me down like a sick animal or smth at this point #because i feel like all i amount to at this point is a burdensome and childish good for nothing waste of space #and an additional source of stress and disappointment for everyone who has ever cared about me or had hopes for my future #sincerely feel like everyone who knows me would be better off if i were dead #no one would have to take care of me then - theyd be free of any burden i put on them #hell considering how few people i talk to and how little o do talk to ones i DO talk to they probably wouldnt even notice i were gone #and once they did they probably wouldnt be upset for long at all if they would be upset to begin with #my partner would be free to find a smaller more affordable place to live or could even get a car and live in it as he thought of doing #before if i werent around being a little needy whiny bitch #seriously whats even the fucking point #im so tired of just...fucking everything. #i dont talk about it much but i really do just feel like shit all the fucking time man #and i feel so fucking powerless and like i have no control of my life too #should probably be in therapy still but i just know theyd force me into the psych ward again #not that talk therapy would do shit for me anyways tho #i dunno #im tired and sad and hopeless and i just wanna go to sleep and not wake up again #not that it matters or anything though lololol
