i thought i was flying but maybe i'm dying
“unions drowned out the voice of the individual 🥺” I can promise you employers were not listening to the voice of the individual to begin with
I have said it before and I shall say it again: capitalists love "individualism" only insofar as "the Individual" is easy to dominate. Strangely, their objections against collectivism disappear when it's corporations that are at play.
you ever get tired of living but in a non-suicidal way
like everything is bad everywhere and no one has money and im tired of this cycle
i tried to explain how i was feeling like this to my drug counselor and she was like "yeah that still sounds kinda suicidal" and i could not figure out how to explain that i don't wanna die, i just like. am so so so tired of the way life is for me and all my friends and family. i'm tired of living like this but i'm gonna keep doing it bc i guess there's no other choice
I don't wanna die, I wanna go lay on a warm field under the sun and watch the clouds go by. How is this hard to understand?
I just want to spend a few days in the dim twilight between sleep and waking, but specifically the dim twilight of a Saturday morning in April.
Burnout. The word is burnout, but not because of an unusual state of overwork or an overly demanding position, but because the bare minimum being demanded is beyond capacity.
How is it that Tumblr consistently puts the posts that talk about what I am feeling at the top of my feed every. single. time?
oh, tumblr, we're really in it now
this is cinema
Pause this on each screen, because there's stuff in here I wasn't aware of and I'm sure I'm not the only one. This isn't just cinema, this is free education and I'm grateful for it.

FUN FACT
Many designer brand names make their big designer labels and their affordable lines BOTH in fast fashion sweatshops with similar quality of labor, pay, and other detrimental factors. One of the major differences, of course?
The price they charge you, the consumer, for the finished product.
Paying more for a name brand doesn't free you from fast fashion, because fast fashion is not a consumer issue. It is an industry level failure.
The other thing so-called ‘prestige brands’ will do is bring in workers from countries where labor is cheap (like China) to places like France and Italy, pay them garbage wages, treat them like shit, and slap a ‘made in Italy’ label on the product to sell it for thousands.
Article on the topic from 2018. Similar to the exploitation of U.S. immigrant ag workers, basically.
It's like how "Made in U.S." can mean made with prison slave labor. Or how a chocolate company can advertise their chocolate as sustainably sourced, except this is a self-determined label and may or may not exclude the use of child slave labor. Or how you can boycott a company but still end up giving them money because it turns out they also own dozens of other brands.
These problems really need a government regulation solution, not a consumer solution.
