CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@atax1a I was cackling at the argument. JKR activity.

@Laztheinfamous Good luck, have fun, and also I recommend getting a small sketchbook for impromptu still life and portraits of things and people.

(and handy for taking notes)

@iris_meredith Also, most of my work is erotic arts, which just adds a whole extra wall I depersonalize behind regularly.

@iris_meredith This article really captures the feeling that society is just structured to generate a general dysphoria. Just constantly putting everyone in a state of massive discomfort and listlessness. You simply do not get to be who you want to be. Especially in America.

• You are prescribe to drive a car and the values it brings.
• You must find life-long employment in a field you will have minimal chance to leave once selected.
• The career you pick will bring prescribed notions of how you will act
• etc. etc. things you've articulated very well.

Careers are kinda a gender. I felt more or less prescribed to pursue a high-paying respectable job. My parents were super against career tech at my school cause they saw it as the place all the inept went to go straight to a job then fail in life. I choose the IT route over the Digital Design route cause I felt it was The Choice They'd Expect. And then I learned nobody in this field really gives a shit about when I was quiet passionate ._.

My desire has always been to pursue art, but the income simply doesn't exist so I'm stuck at a desk gig that pays vastly better for a fraction of the work and for work I just do not care about and simply perform the motions of.

Also, the segment about "tech works often having literally no interest outside of tech" is so painfully true. It can almost be unnerving when engaged upon en masse.
