Remember, EM POC only!
Just brewed up the coffee, feeling like a doomer, but at least I’m about to be a caffeinated one.
How are all my fellow EM POC comrades doing?
Just got laid off from MEGACORP on Monday. They did a big “restructure” so now I’m unemployed. As my homie comically said I have become the stereotypical “unemployed black man” archetype THE MAN fears.
Ah yes, the “restructure”. One of the earliest lessons I learned when I started working was that anytime corp talked about re-anything it probably means layoffs are coming soon. My first manager, who was pretty cool, was offered a lower position with less pay or severance. He went with the severance package and never looked back.
Any plans prepared for such layoffs?
No plans yet, still getting my bearing. Never been laid off before. Right now I’m just focusing on getting my savings and stuff in order and making sure I have some runway. Other than that, find a new job of course
Eh, I’d do the same. In hindsight, I apologize for sounding
by asking about yer plans
I’ve completely lost my motivation
Sometimes, it just happens to the best of us…
But at one point or another, you will find respite!
I haven’t painted in months and I’ve been completely slacking on drawing. I just feel like there’s not much point to what I make because late stage capitalism spoils everything. Coupled with depression, anxiety, and a disability, it’s hard to get motivated. 😪
my favourite activity is watching crackers make shit up and believe it, especially the more “left leaning” ones, end up seeing stuff like “of course some Haitians eat household pets, but that’s not enough to justify racism against them and there’s good ones that don’t eat pets” from time to time
Picture of the average whitey when left alone with their thoughts:
It does seem like they’re addicted to outrage. Conservatives are constantly finding things to get upset over, but even libs will glue themselves to the screen looking at Trump’s antics. I don’t understand it. It’s too exhausting to constantly plug yourself into the outrage machine. Like go watch a movie or something.
I think the outrage culture probably exists among EMPOCs, though I’m struggling to think of any examples.
Like go watch a movie or something.
Can’t even do that because now they’ll even lose their minds for the most minimal repesentation of anything other than CIS white people.
I remember the IMDB message board would always be filled with chuds losing their shit any time a movie had anything other than white cishet straight men.
There’s a movie called “The Invitation” and it takes place in LA. A bunch of people were in the message boards complaining about diversity within the cast and I’m just like “That’s a pretty typical friend group when you live in a city with over 1 million people?”

To their
$$urprise…
got a stim toy yesterday. wow i should have been doing this earlier.
I like it when my makeup reflects how I feel inside (dead)
Why even need makeup when ye can just be yerself?
That’s how I normally roll
tbh that’s how I lived every day of most of my life, this makeup thing is still relatively new for me in the grand scheme of things.
Oh okay, then… it must be a nice change from the usual, at least!
I know I sound like an emo teenager. Sometimes the emo teenagers are correct.
I really hope the Alliance of Sahel States is successful and improves people’s lives and conditions. The people in these regions deserve a win
Unfortunately the terrorism situation looks incredibly bad (France was already useless at tackling it though)
Their situation is depressing, I can tell a massacre happened by seeing Africans from the Sahel in my area, just went through the border and haven’t learned basic sentences or that [my province] isn’t a good place to stay in.
I’m poc, but what is EM in this context?
And well wishes to the fam regardless 🙏🏿
hello! EM stands for “Ethnic Minorities”, it’s on the sidebar of this community

“Hate” is feeling kinda light this morning. They don’t make a word for how I feel about settler trash anymore, or a brief enough verbal encapsulation of everything I want to watch happen to them.
I guess even AM’s speech couldn’t even encapsulate yer hatred…
Nooooooo. That’s not nearly neat enough. These motherfuckers make me wish for a Hell just to know that on a cosmic level, even if it’s after death, that justice would be done. There is not a word neat enough to embody “I have to wish for an entire metaphysical plane of eternal agony and torment just to deal with your fuckery”.
I guess you can say… yer hate is pure!
Every day leads to me distrusting cracKKKers more and more, no matter how “left” they paint themselves as.
Especially with how election season is going. Like I love joking around too but I have to side eye some of these jokes
I got on the subway with someone that had a dog and an old white guy, at the top of his lungs, asked the dog owner if anyone has asked to eat his dog. Just fucking make it stop with the forced pet jokes
Ooh, I’m early! Well I guess late, because I’m up doing homework.
Doing okay, I guess. I’ve been better, I’ve been worse. This “college” thing is not really geared towards how my brain works, but I’m doing my best.

Your best is all you can do. Keep it up, you’ll make it happen!
