Ok So I'm Rereading The Picture Of Dorian Gray And...

executive dysfunction is legitimately physically uncomfortable. i’ll be trapped between two things, weirdly caught on how-much-time-it-might-take-me. i take hours worried im going to take hours doing things. i’ll sit on the floor for the entire day, caught up in the middle of not-doing the chores i actually do want to be doing.

& the amount of mental energy that goes into it. & the legitimate amount of anger and discomfort and self-hate. is not “being lazy”.  it’d be a lot less work if i didn’t have to fight myself to just get up and do it. 

i just need you to understand it’s not effortless. it’s never effortless. it’s not “okay let me just get up and finally start doing this.” it’s more like. i am slamming my foot on the pedal but the car is in neutral and nothing is moving. it’s more like shouting instructions into a dying telephone. it’s more like being trapped in a small electric box, and someone who hates me is administering shocks. 

im trying. im trying. please help me get up.

russians are terrorists.

What the fuck Zelenskyi has to apologise for?

Ukraine has been in state of active war for over 2 years, over 10 in a slow frozen conflict.

According to various factions on le internet, Ukraine has to apologise for

telling Isreael to resepct international rules too late

for recognising Palestine since 1988

for hitting oil depots in russia

for escalating the conflict

for not doing enough

for for being far right zionist state (???)

for killing russian rapists i meant russian soldier

for stationing air raid defence in cities

for swinding american tax payers

for getting too much international attention

for USA housing/education/healthcare crisis

for fucking breathing, i guess

There's a reccuring theme of Ukraine being blamed for a 3rd party problem, and we here are reacting with "So we have to solve your problem too?"

i started to notice that i dont enjoy any games that have a story in them.

like i like to play multiplayer(right now playing insurgency sandstorm and squad), but thats just it. ive tried to play through dishonored, for example(ive finished it like 2 times. one of my favorite games of all time), but its just not it....

and i dont have money for any other games, even cheap ones, so dont ask me about it

maybe im just burned out or have a need for communication, cause when i play those games im trying to be chatty and funny, just for somebody to notice me :(

my day be so bad then boom rusians are trying to break through Kharkiv oblast' and already taking civilians captive and escaped people are saying there were talks about executing the captive civilians and then my day becomes even worse but not as worse as the people in rusian captivity

Since the beginning of the year, more than 700 libraries have been destroyed or damaged in Ukraine.

Russia struck Ukraine’s major printing press, Faktor-Druk in Kharkiv, killing at least 5 employees among the 7 dead & 20 injured. Kharkiv is the heart of Ukraine’s publishing industry. This attack on culture underscores the genocidal nature of Russia’s war. Factor-print was bombed exactly one week before the Book Arsenal (book festival), just when dozens of publishing novelties were being rushed to print. The bombing was aimed at preventing these books from being published, at preventing Ukrainians from having book fairs - for a quarter of a century, the Russians had managed to silence them using other methods, and now that they have started to find their feet, they are using bombs and missiles. And all for the sake of the "great Russian culture". Forcing people to read this literature because of the absence of destroyed Ukrainian literature. My deepest condolences to the families of the victims and to the Vivat publishing house (the bookshop belongs to them).
