05/01/26 - E(ART)H / May Day
I took PTO for today to join in the economic blackout. Hopefully lots of people have as well, it's easy to not buy stuff for a day. We should try it for a week, or longer. But I know the systems at play don't allow that for many to just call out of work whenever, their paychecks are their security (mine too but I've been in a lucky position to save some). If only there could be massive quantities of communities to help people finanicially so we could just say fuck you to the ruling class by not working. If it were me with large quantities of money, I wouldn't have it for long lol, I'd give it away to help anyone and everyone. I think I would keep just enough to not worry about paying for living expenses.
In an ideal world though, nobody would need that. I think it is obtainable, regardless of what people say. Either way, since I have free time today, I'm here on my small corner of the internet for a little while, dusting off the cobwebs. In a lighter topic, I've re-read Dorohedoro for the second time and really took the time to appreciate the story and the art way more than when I read it the first time. After that, I've started on Dai Dark as well, which is just as good and funny lol. I enjoy Q Hayashida's imagination. It's so inspiring.
This week was nice, I got some wonderful bday wishes and gifts and went with my bestie to a rage room and we throttled the objects. >:) Really cathartic, can't wait to go again eventually. Nothing much else to report, I think I'm feeling hopeful still, more hopeful than the all devouring dread. Last year I went ham on reading books and listening to audiobooks, haven't really done much of that this year, aside from Dorohedoro. My to-read list is pretty stacked so, I ought to pick one or two up for my enjoyment. Or maybe finish ones I've started lol (looking at you, Metal of Heaven and House of Leaves).
Okay then. Let's get back to it. Don't buy anything today, donate to crisis relief instead for a good deed. ♥
