A (now-ex) Facebook acquaintance of mine posted this photo last night. She’s an army wife; and all of her friends are too, apparently, because when I called her out on this bullshit, her friends started bitching at me too. She said it was more directed at people like her husband’s ex wife who refuses to get a job because government assistance is “enough”… completely ignoring the fact that what she posted did not specifically state that, and makes a sweeping generalization about everyone that is on welfare, or food stamps.

I lost my minimum wage job under circumstances that were total bullshit and completely out of my control. Do you know what my unemployment (minus taxes) is after making minimum wage? $126/week. With what very little money I have in my bank account, this barely covers my rent. No wonder I need food stamps. Or Medicaid. Or any number of government assistance programs. It was very difficult for me to admit that I was going to to need help just to be able to exist for awhile.

Entitlement versus entitlement. A soldier is “entitled” to an education after serving their country just as much as I’m “entitled” to be able to eat food and keep a roof over my head. Wait, what? How about downsizing the military and being able to pay for ALL of the soldiers’ educations AND ALL of the people that need food stamps or unemployment? Why not attack corporations for tax evasion? Why does she feel it’s necessary to attack people who are often at their lowest?

She’s bitching about tuition that is probably going to be covered when the sequester is over. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. I didn’t choose to be unemployed. Your husband and all your friends’ husbands chose to serve in a world-wide bully police force. A world of fucking difference.

the inevitable return

Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:41:00 -0500

I’ve wasted so much time in some vain attempt to keep from becoming a schlub.
I’ve got stacks of old newspapers by the door, I don’t throw them away because it’s some kind of physical evidence that I’m looking for a job.
I borrow more money than I can ever hope to repay.
I think it’s funny, but it isn’t funny, it’s gross.
Gross in the way that I unwrap a pack of cigarettes while I’m waiting for my change; smoking before I leave the store, and thinking, “cigarettes are the reason I can’t do anything right.”
It’s all gross, gross in the way I hide my track marks and money. “Where does all our nice stuff go?” That’s the worst question someone can ask you when you know the answer.
Gross in the way that I’m telling you this now, obvious, cowardice.
Gross in the way I live in Cleveland, Ohio, and I hate cold weather and snow.
Gross that I believe that all these problems would settle to the ground like so much ash if I just had the guts to go ahead and be drunk, once and for all.
My lying, forward morality just makes the ship sink faster, and all this wasted ink makes the water blue.
>Gross in the way that only a man can be gross, centered in self; no concern for day or job or rent or pain, muscle, sex, horrible yellow skin.
And all this said in a sad, feminine voice.
I’m tired of words, and the way my mind uses them.
Everything is pedophila, everything is a slow madness, softened by a sensitive pill.
Fuck you, I’m not ok, and a job won’t help.
I’m coming back; I’m coming back.

so this mix is tacked onto the end of my daft punk tron soundtrack playlist. (yeah, i’m a nerd, shut up) but i *know* i didn’t make it. hell, i hadn’t even heard some of these songs before it showed up on my headphones. so someone would have needed access to my laptop and itunes to make this playlist and then to hide it in another playlist… which is confusing. thoughts?

Touch the part of your body you feel insecure about. Just place your hand on it. Don’t squeeze, pinch it, or poke it. Just touch it. Keep this physical contact for a while and mentally send positivity and love to that part. You spend so much time over analyzing it, accusing it, and shaming it, so take a moment to just love it for what it is, at this very moment in time. It is a part of you and it is beautiful. You are beautiful. -annieelainey
