ok allow me to express to you guys how terrifying it is to be raised conservative. y’all need to know just how indoctrinated the kids of these families are. i was 11 when obama was elected for second term. i cried. i don’t know why i cried, i had literally no reason. nothing about obama’s presidency has changed my family, my financial situation, or my home. if anything its helped me, because now i know someday i will legally be able to marry whoever i want. but in the moment i was devastated, simply because i was told to be. no one told me anything about him, anything about his beliefs or policies, but i simply knew i was not supposed to like him.
independent thought is not encouraged. there are no news channels on in these kids houses other than fox news. they are taught it is a sin to be liberal, it is provocative to speak up and fight for equality. no one tells them that prejudice exists outside of basic rights; if slavery is dead, so is racism. no one tells them that sexuality is science. no one tells them why women get abortions, only that they are bad. no one tells them that they can form their own opinions. they don’t know why or how the black man is dead, but its his fault. they don’t know what privilege is. they don’t know what alliance is. they don’t know what peace is. i know your immediate instinct is to snap at any trump supporter that comes your way, but please help educate these kids. i wish someone had educated me, because i still thought homosexuality was evil when i realized i was queer. i thought obama would destroy my home when i was too young to spell his name correctly. i thought police brutality was a myth until i saw the videos, which no one was showing me. i was and still am reprimanded for thinking independently and being vocal about it. help these kids.
I was also raised in a very conservative house. My entire family is still very conservative. So I can vouch for this.

okay allow me to get into a HUGE fucking rant (about college stuff)
whoever thought it was a good idea to have us read 7 books (approx. 1100 pages) in German for the equivalent of 24 hours of class? i don’t know who they are, and that’s a good thing because currently? i am soooo ready to fucking murder them
like… do they not realise. we won’t have time to do anything but superficial stuff in class. that’s not the point of a literature class. that’s not what i enjoy about literature.
not to mention, of course we have basically 4 days of break between semester 5 finals and semester 6 classes. only 4 days. which means that i’ll have to get started on reading all of this at the same time i start studying for S5 finals or i’ll never be ready before the semester starts, instead of waiting until after finals like i did the past two years. as if finals weren’t already a shitton of work
what pisses me off the most is that, sure! these books will be interesting and heck maybe i’ll enjoy reading them!! but having that amount of work is just fucking surreal and totally ruins this for me like…. buddies pals mates can we fucking stop and think for a second that maybe students need a fucking break that is an actual break and not frantic reading stuff for classes that won’t even be that much use??
and before someone pops in like ‘but abby! you don’t have to read all of this right now! you can wait until the semester begins!’
buddy. i have 30 hours of class + 15-20 hours of schoolwork at home in a week, plus everything that goes with living alone like… grocery shopping, cleaning, and stuff, while being super autistic and super mentally ill and having Regular Breakdowns™
oh AND i’ll also have two books to read for english lit + one for german philosophy, which constitude about the max amount of reading i can stomach during the semester in addition to all the rest i mentioned previously
like i am literally at the very limit of my ability and know from experience i literally cannot push myself harder or i will break beyond repair. as it is it’s already a fucking balancing act and i should probably get paid for this because wow a+ management in crisis skills here
talking about money. at least my parents pay for basically everything which is like… thank fuck at least that’s one thing i don’t have to worry about
‘but abby! you don’t have to get good marks all the time! you can get your degrees with less work than you’re doing now!’
a. we do not have the same standards;
b. no matter how much i protest to the contrary, it very much seems that my entire self-worth is based on how well i do in school and i am not fucking ready to let everything go to shit grades-wise (the last time i told myself “ok fuck it i’m not studying more than i can actually stomach” and my grades dropped as a result, it did not End Well and like… Not This Shit Again Thank You)
c. i do not have time to work on that “bad grades? shit mate guess you don’t deserve nice things” issue so i’ll just like wait until i’m out of school and i don’t actually get grades bc it’ll probably be easier then
it’s just one more semester and i’m going to fucking make it, u just watch, but like… … jesus fucking christ smh real hard at the college administration that is a lot of unneeded stress added to what i already get and basically i just want a fucking BREAK between my semesters instead of a measly 4 days + additional reading
rant over i guess, anyway back to homework now i haven’t got that much left to do today + if you read till here i’d appreciate if you liked the post if you can
i was gonna say ‘current mood: fix fix’ meaning yay i’m fixing all the problems caused by my own procrastination
but at the same time it’s like… yeah i’m all caught up on schoolwork but the rest is still Pending and i’m having a bad case of the executive dysfunction lol
at least it’s a three-day week-end
me: *feels bad*
me: ah yes time to go read former friends’ comments on skyrock dot hell literally what could go wrong??

the evening is off to a. great start,
btw… important PSA: cutting off the mold on the surface of food does nothing. you can only see the spores on the surface, but mold itself has spread and grown roots into the food. by the time you can actually *see* the spores, that piece of food is completely full of it. youre still eating mold.
many of which are poisonous and have been shown to cause cancer. youre not even supposed to sniff it, because that can get spores into your lungs. like if you look up the health and safety guidelines for mold they barely stop short of telling you to put on a hazmat suit.
like produce is okay as long as you cut around it at least an inch, but cooked foods? you gonna die. stop eating mold people
does that include bread
yes
it’s been linked to before but this is a good solid source
and there’s a lot of ‘whose doing this!?!??’ in comments
the answer is, unsurprisingly, poor people. poor people, and people who fear poverty, honestly
it’s horrible what that will do, how people will endanger themselves because of it, of fear of food scarcity
source for that: me, a lifetime of living under the poverty line and also being mentally ill
