    I’ve been open on the fediverse about my background.

    The problem with being a major depressive for the first 36 years of your life is, you meet a lot of friends in treatment, and statistically, many of them don’t make it.

    I recently surprised myself by telling the boyfriend two stories back-to-back and hearing myself say, “they died in (x) year.” Some of us outlive others. Some of us outlive a lot of others. That just makes those of is who make it all the more precious, and makes the example we lead that much more critical.

    (Yes. 36 years of depression. And yes. It was actually worth it to live through it and get to the other side.)





  • I worked for Walmart in the mid 2000s.

    It’s not classist. That place is a hellhole. There’s a reason so many people who work there are on food stamps.

    It’s classist to be mad at people who live in food deserts and can’t shop elsewhere. It’s classist to be fine with the system that puts people in jobs that don’t actually support them. It’s classist to look down on folks who get stuck in those jobs. It’s not classist for someone to be unhappy that they got stuck in such a job.

    Fuck Walmart.

    (I worked there and was a CSM before being able to move to a better job in 2010.)
