information for stuff used to be. right there. ready to read. and now you're just expected to scan qr codes to do it and you kind of just have to scan a qr code and hope it doesn't do some shit to your phone. every scan outside of familiar settings is a leap of faith. like it's the total lack of security or caution you're expected to have that gets me. also you need the internet for it now. fuck you
i will never be okay with qr codes or the normalisation of them

in all seriousness it's very alienating knowing theres Something Wrong With You. like seeing your mental illness come through in your behaviour and thought processes and knowing it's irrational and unhealthy, knowing other people are reading you as weird or stupid, and not being able to do anything about it is such a lonely experience

hang on don't invite me to your movie i'm afraid of those i'll just like watch it when it comes out
the reason i wouldn't wanna be a movie star is not the long hours or the unsteady work but what if i did a movie where the rest of the cast is really close and they all go out together after shooting ends for the day every ay but they don't invite me to things and i'm not part of it and i'm like jared leto in suicide squad except i didn't do anything wrong

Save a Native-owned local farm & the homes of the four people who live there
Laurae has built up Gray Fox Farm with her blood, sweat, and tears, and she needs help raising legal funds to defend it from a wealthy white lawyer who is leveraging his power to demand she pay more than the market value of the property plus give up half her infrastructure, claiming that’s “50%” of the equity.
Please support someone who truly deserves it. Laurae houses me, my partner, and another individual here, and she works so fucking hard making it by on barely anything. She deserves to be left in peace with everything she’s worked so hard for.
