every time i mention i’m vegan, i follow it by saying it’s not for health reasons, bc that seems like the default assumption. As someone who struggled with an eating disorder for years (which had nothing to do with veganism), it’s infuriating.

like yeah, i like fruit and veggies, but my favorite food is literally candy 😭 i hate that people see veganism as a diet, not a lifestyle/movement. It’s so damaging to the whole message.

I have no college degree, but i have a decent amount of experience on my resume. Like, retail + restaurants. The past maybe 3 years I feel like the job market is so fucked. Ive applied at literally every job i can possibly do, including shit like fast food and gas stations, and NOTHING. No call, not even an interview. I’m talking like probably 50+ job applications i put in. Legitimately every place i saw was hiring in the tri-state area. I actually did get 2 interviews, but no call back afterwards, even tho i thought it went pretty well. Guess not.

When i was 17 looking for a job I got multiple interviews and offers and it was very easy to find a job. And i had absolutely NOTHING on my resume!!! It’s so baffling i feel like i’m going crazy.

People saying “just get a job” is the most infuriating shit rn even if it’s not directed at me. Bc i fucking get it bro. It’s not that fucking easy anymore. I’m so tired. I also got denied for unemployment and have to appeal it. Got denied for food stamps despite having only enough money for next months rent. I’m at my fucking wits end

i’m currently learning to play the drums, and i’m rlly into punk/hardcore/grindcore/etc music. I always see videos of artists from those genres playing drums on stage, shirtless and sweating their ass off while going ballistic on the drums. and god i get so envious of that. that’s like my goal in life, to be like that. it sounds like just a stupid minor thing but that’s genuinely my dream.
