I’ve come to the realization that the lack of career and success is down to my neurodiversity. I have had close to a hundred jobs in my lifetime- admittedly most have been freelance but I do sturdy struggle to fit in anywhere.

I just finished a freelance job and by the third week I was completely burnt out with zero social battery- and this pattern continues with any job

The best job I ever had was when I was essientially working alone for 8 months, it was total bliss- people would occasionally come in to my room to talk new projects over but working in solitude was perfect

I can’t work in teams for extended period of time- I turn too submissive and a chronic push over- and I’m
Conscious of it but can’t do anything to change it.

Every single time I start I new job I tell myself it will be different this time and alas, it ever is.

I have started to retrain with hopes of being able to work from home. It’s the only solution

I swear every place I’ve ever worked has had a Henry as the workplace Hoover, I have a Henry now but tbh I find them pretty cumbersome and awkward to store- they always seem to get caught on things so it’s super hard to navigate a room with a lot of furniture- not to mention how impossible it is to unblock the hose of it gets clogged.

So what’s the big deal? Why is it still the Hoover of choice??

My friend collects Victorian gay pornography and it got me thinking, considering these images would have been considered extremely illegal possibly until the late 20th century, at what point do they become valuable historical anthropological records?

What’s worse is the legal age of consent in the Victorian age was 12- so it’s highly likely a lot of the dudes in these images are under the age of 18 (there’s virtually no way of knowing)

So to expand on this question, does that mean in 150 years videos like 2 girls 1 cup and 1 man 1 jar will be on the same Neutral level and will be shown in museums?

I was speaking to an old friend today and she was talking about how she and her partner couldn’t afford to have any more kids as they are barely making ends meet as it is.

The plot twist is, their household income is almost double the national average and they don’t do anything overtly lavish like fancy holidays, luxury cars etc and the house they own is modest was in their budget. They are pretty frugal and just a normal family working to pay the bills

So if they can’t afford more than one kid then how the hell can people afford 4-5 kids on a normal average income- or in some cases, no income at all.

Is everyone just in tons of debt? Is it all on the credit card?

How are people doing it?
