good on them, wish more musicians had the guts to follow suit. i've been so disgusted by how "default" spotify has become when it comes to distribution and music discovery...

why do so many people get away with being so vocally "pro-Palestinian" and "anti-genocide" but you work at IBM/Microsoft/PwC/insert other company that directly contributes to the genocide ??? how are you so SHAMELESS?

had a really sad dream where i remembered the last time someone told me i was important to them and that was more than 6 years ago :\ heavy heart. and even that ended up being untrue

there's no way life is supposed to be like this; why is everyone seemingly okay with surface level connections and not questioning anything about the way we live and treat each other

idk as someone who worked multiple jobs with kids the "stare" usually means you as an adult are not engaging enough

also seen plenty of millenials genX and boomers do this same "stare" when you say something they don't want to comprehend

yeah honestly i don't find it any different from people who become cops because they think they're one of the good ones who will change the system. acknowledging any level of legitimacy of the illegal amerikkkan occupation and engaging within its systems in any fashion will never ever lead to revolution, and americans have their heads so far up their asses they really think that electing the right trendy people is "progress"

having a really hard time coping with loneliness and facing the facts that people would rather be friends with people who are agreeable, passive, and "easy to digest" at best, and literal SAers and fascists at worse, over me. they may even complain about these "friendships" to me and then continue to invest more time in them.

hard to trust peoples words at all anymore. i don't want to live like this. maybe it's actually a blessing that i have no attachments to this place community wise

 

dean blunt is fucking awesome and i love this new ep "lucre". track 5 is another stand out

ibrahim traore thank you for inspiring me when no one else does

personally, i find it hard to care for myself when i'm not being cared for from others. not that i need someone all the time (very used to the solitude atp); it just makes me feel like "what's the point?", like the tree in the forest thing, why does it matter if i'm in shape or taking care of my hygiene or improving as a person if no one is there to even notice or acknowledge it?

i used to believe in the "do it for yourself" mentality but that's the same mentality that led to me being completely isolated. these days i've built enough resilience to continue healthy habits and take care of myself more than i used to, mainly out of spite, and i try to consider my life experience and body/mind/soul just part of my life 'experiment' that i'll see through to the end just so i can have a good laugh about it before it's all over.

and when you realize it's poisoned and that if you keep drinking it you'll only get sicker, you are ostracized for questioning the source, people feel insulted because they'd rather keep drinking the poisoned water because that's what they're used to doing and everyone else does it and now you're forced to find a clean well somewhere else instead of just banding together and cleaning out the well you already have.

 

*and a couple hundred dollars

ive had some accounts on here where i detailed my situation more but long story short, i'm a brown queer who's long overdue on leaving an extremely triggering living situation in a southern state with increasingly hostile policies and a personal 0% success rate on finding meaningful friendships, community, or work. i've already tried moving to a big liberal city before and while it was better on some ends, i still was unable to make any meaningful connections or enough money that would have made the working just to live in a shitty room at the mercy of random sublandlords worth continuing for me. i also had a traumatic experience where someone scammed me out of a large sum of money, and the worst part of that whole ordeal wasn't even losing the money, it was the lack of emotional support afterwards.

anyways, after an antagonizingly long hiatus from society despite my best efforts to have even a crumb of a reason to keep hope and effort that i might find something that could give me a reason to keep going, i've decided that enough is enough, there's almost a 100% chance i won't find anyone likeminded enough here or an opportunity good enough to build towards freedom, and so i want to try vagabonding around before i give up entirely. i feel like i've tried every other possible option except meandering around the world so if i plan to call it quits i could at least do this and say hey i tried everything. i literally had 0$ for a while but i managed to sell an old guitar of mine which kickstarted this plan into fruition.

my question is have any of you ever done it without places to stay lined up, tons of savings (i have less than a grand), people to travel with, or a plan? i would love to hear from your experiences, particularly if you are a PoC.

i've been specifically thinking about getting a one way flight to portugal and then just very slowly make my way towards africa or asia from there. i've also thought maybe it would be smarter to stay in the country in hopes it could lead to more domestic opportunities, but it feels like the law would be more against me within the US. another option could be heading south through mexico to central and south america.

it's funny because the thing i crave so badly is stability and familiarity and being able to rely on and help and be helped i really just want to live a normie life like id even be willing to go back to wage slaving if there were people that cared about me. this plan feels like the complete opposite lol but if i don't do anything then i'm just guaranteed to get nothing
