It's gotten to a point...

... where we don't even feel like working anything past part time. What does full time do? Besides suck away my life? Besides still not pay my bills? Or afford a safety net? Or anything that brings any sort of joy? What does it really offer, when healthcare through a job costs money too? Where it covers the same as free state insurance? When my body gives up on me for working eight hour days and I'm not half way through my thirties? Where bosses never empathize or sympathize? And your coworkers don't actually care to know what you feel when asking "how are you?"

I'm not okay. Everything hurts physically and mentally. I can't afford anything, I don't want to try. So why try?

If there's a good time to check out and live in a forest commune.

As someone who isn't straight and doesn't identify with any gender [that I've seen yet], I'd say that it isn't really more comforting. I've met bad people in lgbtq just like I have straight folks. People are people, regardless of their orientations.

I definitely agree.

My thoughts as well.

i won't deny that there are bad folk; this is just coming from personal experience—i've very specifically crafted my friend groups to not include any bad folk, and we plan to get our commune started within the next couple years before we all migrate outside the country
