  • It’s very hard to live in the system without somehow taking part. I work in marketing adjacent industries. My job is fully bullshit. But I love my team, I love problem solving, and I love working with research data. So I’m definitely part of the problem, but where I live there’s not much else my skills work for. And as the sole income earner, renting, I’m insecure enough financially that I don’t really have a choice. Almost like the system was designed that way…



  • x-vertism is a behavioural archetype that changes with mental state. Nothing is absolute. Lots of social and structural factors impact people’s mental state from outside their control.

    I can appreciate that what you’re saying is good willed, but it feels like the equivalent of telling a depressed person to try “not being sad.”
