this is some idiotic, elitist bullshit. SOME OF US GOTTA MAKE RENT, SUSAN.
(I really need to make a whole batch of Hazbin Hotel gifs, including "ugh, SUSAN")
ok now what would have happened if you weren't rushing? you would have missed the train, meaning you would have arrived late. if you were going to work, being late could mean you're fired. now you have no income, no way to pay bills, your utilities are shut off, you're evicted and now you're homeless. so yeah I'd say a skinned knee is a small price to pay to avoid all that misery.
worrying is literally a survival instinct. we mentally jump into the future and plan for scenarios so we're prepared to put those plans into action when the need arises. the caveman who worries about the predators that could come into the cave in the night survives by blocking off the entrance. the one who doesn't gets eaten.
YES. YES IT IS. I would expect New Yorkers to be a bit more familiar with the concept of passive suicidal ideation.
no, bitch, to the checkout line. you don't tell the kid to hurry up when they're at home playing with blocks, do you? or do you want your grocery store errand to take 3 hours while all the food spoils and the kid wanders around aimlessly, blissfully unaware that food refrigeration requirements don't account for toddler ADHD?
no, it's something capitalists force us to do. implement UBI, socialized medicine, guaranteed housing, make sure our NEEDS are met and watch how traffic jams disappear as people accept only the most accommodating jobs, watch how we have time to slow down because we don't have to sell every second of our lives to labor for someone else's profit.
there's a reason it's a temptation, not an obligation. listening to hickory nuts falling is an act of rebellion, not a remedy, to the demands of a capitalist society.
something about this blurb leaves a bad taste in my mouth... feels somehow anti-kpop instead of anti-bullying the way it should be
so muskrat is back to posturing like he's a benevolent tech genius billionaire who is desperately trying to save the future of humanity
....................... well now I just feel personally attacked
(or they're attacking my husband who obsessively photographs every family outing like he's going for a Pulitzer)
