Enough is enough | TW American politics including -him-, capitalism, all caps, swearing (vent)

I’m unfortunately American, and I unfortunately still live in this cursed country. I’m black/mixed, chubby, aroace, non-binary, neorudivergent, and not rich, aka, I’m a minority. I’ve already lost all faith and hope for America when HE was elected again last year.

This country was not made for those lower than high-class. The whole system is already awful. So many businesses have already raised their prices on so many things, so many I’ve stopped using because I cannot fucking pay that much… we’re not made of money... And NOW thanks to him and his awful tariffs, it’s hitting companies and especially small businesses again. 2020 was already enough, and he thought THIS was wise? Talk about garbage!! Which means that some companies will be raising their prices again or adding surcharges… which in this case, I don’t blame them. I just cannot AFFORD it so I’d often just try to find a better deal so that I’m not just giving all of my money down the drain… the prices were already expensive enough, though I don’t blame them in this case.

It’s getting hard to live in this fucking country. Even though my dad’s the one taking care of the money situation and is a supervisor chef (aka he makes a lot) and we’re doing fine, I cannot help but feel bad for everyone at this moment, and money talk in general fucking stresses me the fuck out, I HATE it!!! Especially since I’m autistic and when change happens, it… I can’t take anymore of this. I already had a fucking panic attack last week because of an incorrect very high balance showing on my total therapy session statement, I just… I feel like I’m going to fucking explode if something money related happens again (which I’m probably gonna anyway… god I hate this society).

Infuriated on everything costing so much and almost everything requiring a subscription (vent) | TW money, swearing, all caps

I wanted a private and secure email hosting service, so I went with Mailfence a while ago. For some reason, I haven’t received all of my clinic’s emails, so I’ve found that you could whitelist them and maybe it’ll works. Unfortunately, that’s behind a paywall subscription, which I don’t freaking get. But I still looked at their subscriptions plans anyway and saw that they were pretty low, like one plan was almost $3 per month. I thought “well, that’s not too bad, I guess”. And then….. the next page told me that I would be paying for EVERY 12 MONTHS! So it was really $31.50 a year! It said NOWHERE else that it was a yearly subscription until this very moment. Are you fucking KIDDING ME?!?? I cannot pay all of that up front, we’re already paying for other shit. And of course, email and phone support is locked behind those fucking subscriptions, too. Unbelievable!!! I’ve spent so much fucking time trying to find an alternative to the evil Gmail from evil Google, only to be shitted on by “oh let’s pay so much money for this thing now” for the MILLIONTH TIME!! I ain’t paying that much for a fucking email service, like come on! Shouldn’t privacy and security be a FREE thing?!?!

Way too many businesses are expecting too much from us these days. Why the fuck does everything cost so much these days (both on the internet and in the real world)? What happened to stopping poverty, you’re only just strengthening it?? And I don’t wanna hear any of these companies say “oh, 2020 was rough and-“ IT’S 2025!! And even so, you didn’t need to skyrocket your prices up THAT high. And now you’re locking actually useful shit behind a paywall, too?! This enrages me. A simple WHITELIST feature is LOCKED BEHIND A DAMN PAYWALL. That’s ridiculous.

I feel like almost every fucking company is so money hungry these days, just fucking stop. Please. We’re NOT fucking made of money! Capitalism has gotten too far, at least in the US here (which I’m very unfortunate of living in as I strongly hate this country as an American), and I’m not just saying that because I’m anti-capitalist.

I think I know what’s going on with me, if anyone cares | TW trauma, family, school, one swear, slight suicidal ideation

Last post for context: What do I do…?? | TW mentions of stress dreams and one swear

.

I’ve moved out of where I used to live with my mom and one of my older sisters (has 3 kids now) 2 years ago. I think because it’s summer break for my 2 older nephews, I’m now getting a lot more stress dreams related to my mom and my older sister (my mom was the persecutor of emotional abuse, and I never liked my sister since she’s similar and agrees with her often).

I dropped out of high school after sophomore year many years ago because of being constantly overstimulated and high levels of stress and meltdowns I’ve had over there (especially when constantly trying to get the best grades in a very unnecessarily strict school, horrible place for autistic individuals like me!!). After that, I’ve noticed that more stressful dreams came up after that and it was almost everyday that I’ve gotten them at that point. Now, for that theme, it isn’t too much, usually 1to 3 times a week.

Now, I’m getting these stress dreams related to my mom and older sister constantly ever since late June. Before then, it was a mix of dreams of school and mom and sister for 1 to 3 times a week. Even when I’ve had great days, nothing has changed, not even yesterday. If I’m right, these dreams may last until late August when my 2 older nephews go back to school again. I really fucking hope not, I can only carry so much. I really don’t want them to fucking last for that long, I hate getting them and I don’t want to fucking deal with them anymore. I’m sick of it. How the fuck as I supposed to look forward to sleep now?!

I worry that if this continues for longer, I’m going to start feeling suicidal again. I can already feel that happening as I’m already fucking sick of these dreams every fucking day (there had been like 2 or 3 days where I didn’t had them, not consecutively, either). Why do I even have to fucking deal with this? Why did my early life had to be like this?!

I don’t trust this world, especially when it comes to being autistic | TW vent, swearing, all caps, ableism

.
.
.

.
.
.
.
.

I wish the DSM haven’t changed the Autism label to include “disorder”. My autism is NOT A FUCKING DISORDER!! Although I do get those who do believe that their experience is disordered, and that is valid and fine! I just mean generally when ASD is used to describe the whole community… I hate it. With a passion.

Autism is a spectrum. “Low functioning” and “high-functioning” are harmful terms for the community (unless there is any way to reclaim these labels and genuinely make sense, maybe not using “functioning” because what?)

We are not born with “defects” or “impaired” (unless an autistic individual genuinely view their autism this way in a non-ableist way) and the DSM symptoms was written to (maybe unintentionally) put blame on us for being different and having different social communications.

There is no such fucking thing as a “look” to having autism.

It’s not just men that can have autism. Woman/womxn and those outside of the binary spectrum (e.g. non-binary) can, too.

The puzzle design has been ruined because of a shit ableist company called Autism Speaks, and it grosses me out every fucking time I see it now.

I lost one of my ex-favorite singers 4 years ago because she turned ableist towards the autistic community.

I’m extremely sensitive to ableism when it comes to autism… because I feel like not many allistics (non-autistics) really get us… I’m scared to fucking go out again. I feel like I can mostly trust autistic individuals to talk to without being judged or thought of a ridiculous misconception. I’m scared to interact with most neurotypicals again because I fear of what they actually think of me or what common misconception they think of autists. I’m so sick of this….. I almost wish that I wasn’t autistic so that I no longer have to deal with knowing the existence of these fucking stereotypes and misconceptions and stigma that I involuntarily have to possibly face! This sucks!!! Why is it so scary being a part of such a small yet pretty misunderstood group?!! I don’t want to hide who I am, but I don’t want folks/folx to start thinking of stereotypes if I do wear an autism pin again!

(please don’t call me human, I non-pessimistically and spiritually think otherwise mentally, I get species dysphoria being called human and will just make things worse so please respect this, thank you!)

I'm running on empty right now, I've done 2 loads of laundry, about to do a 3rd and I still have to shower... I just know tomorrow is gonna be rough because it's the first day back from Christmas break and school and I'm just exhausted and still have so much to do... I am not ready to have to deal with people and school, and a new teacher no less... and I have to go to a basketball game tomorrow because I'm in the band... I'm not ready and I know I'm gonna overdo it but I don't really got a choice...

Dear society, “triggered” does not mean “just agitated” | TW misrepresentation, a couple of swears

Triggers are real, and they are serious. Being “triggered” actually means that you’re having a very high level of stress, which can cause negative experiences like flashbacks, anxiety attacks, panic attacks, etc.

As someone who has many triggers, I’m so fucking sick and tired of running into YouTubers and many other individuals doing the “triggered” meme, it’s not funny, it shouldn’t even be a damn meme, it’s annoying and very misleading!! /vsrs /neg

If you can spread the word about this, that would be great, because I am so done with this BS.

Honestly, what the FUCK! I CAN’T FUCKING WORK! What is it that they can’t seem to understand?! My anxiety is a disability, damn it!!!

It’s been 3 FUCKING TIMES ALREADY, 2 FUCKING APPEALS, and I POORED ALL OF MY FUCKING HEART OUT ABOUT WHY I CANNOT FUCKING WORK, THE EMOTIONAL TRAUMA, THE EPISODES OF DEPRESSION, THE FUCKING HYGIENE ISSUES, MY SEVERE SOCIAL GENDER DYSPHORIA AS A NON-BINARY INDIVIDUAL AND AVOIDING MOST SOCIAL SITUATIONS OUT OF THE PURE FEAR OF BEING MISGENDERED, HATE BEING UNDER PRESSURE, HAVING MANY TRIGGERS! I was receiving payment for 3 fucking months, and NOW they’ve decided that my FUCKING STRUGGLES AREN’T ENOUGH?!?!

Honestly fuck everything. I feel like I’ll just never be truly seen by this US government. I’ve only just wasted my fucking time with them, and so really don’t feel like HAVING TO EXPLAIN TO THEM FOR THE 50TH TIME THAT I’M NOT MY BIRTH GENDER AND I AM NOT A BINARY GENDER!

It’s not like anyone’s going to care, but… | TW invalidated, unintentional exclusionism

.

I’m otherkin. I do not identify as a human spiritually. Yes, this is real. Being otherkin is not a pessimistic or degrading identity. It is real, and it is often involuntary. I can’t control how I feel, and I’m okay with that because there’s nothing wrong with it. No, it is not “cringe”, screw cringe culture.

I hate being called human. I hate emotions exclusively being called “human”. I hate being associated with “human”. I hate the idea that emotions exclusively make us “human” because I don’t identify as a human being, and not everyone in a “human”-like body identifies as a human being. It’s act very stressful and invalidating whenever I run into these common ideas and phrases.

It’s why I can’t really read most things mental health-wise. I wish, but I get very dysphoric being called a human 10 times in one article. I understand it may be mostly scientific, but still. I do understand that most of the population is human-identifying, but so are those who are straight, who are cisgender, who are in the gender binary (male or female), and who are monogamous, and groups outside of them often get ignored in articles, too, and I’m outside of those groups as well! It’s so tiring… After (still) grieving over what I wrote in the last post, I don’t need to be called a human constantly.

I apologize if any of this sounds rude. I do not mean so in the slightest. I just wish that us otherkin individuals would be more recognized in society, and the dysphoria sucks…

TW SA, R*pe (a), swearing (Rant)

Please bare in mind that this is a very sensitive topic for me to talk about, and is actually very triggering to me as well.

But I find rapists unforgivable (unless they deeply and genuinely regret it) to where intrusive thoughts (thoughts that I don’t believe in or else I’d be way too harsh) come up. I have never faced physical sexual assault, but it makes me super mad whenever I hear that someone has been raped and that whoever raped them hasn’t even been caught. It’s fucking disgusting!!! 🤬

I just heard this morning that one of my friends’ partner (non-binary) was raped two months ago, likely not even 18 yet.

Rapists should not walk free. They need serious help (no, I actually mean that, like please seek counseling), they need to be put away (no, I don’t just mean jail) until they know how to fucking act right. Fuck rapists!!! Is there anyway I can help to get more of their asses in jail (or just get them caught because I know jails can be discriminatory, unfortunately)??

Edit: And how am I supposed to feel any better from that? I can’t think of a single thing that will make me feel better now…

TW AI art generators (I hate them), swearing

.
.

As an artist, I’m so fucking sick of so many fucking companies using AI art generators that steal from others’ work without even any permission from artists. Ever since 2023, it feels that everything on the web’s AI this and AI that. My used-to-be-favorite websites started adding AI generators and became greedy and now I hate them more than ever. All of this talk of AI art is pissing me off. It’s actually pretty triggering to even bring up about this because it’s just so immoral, and seeing big companies like Microsoft and Google going even more south is just… 😡

It’s not just human artists struggling. Otherkin (those who don’t fully identify as human non-physically for various reasons (yes, it’s a real and good-faith identity)) artists exist, too such, as I. So I always tend to get very uncomfortable being called a human throughout all of this.

Is our government even doing shit about this??? This is extremely unfair that so many individuals would now rather shit on artists and use and AI art generators than requesting or do commissions to artists. Yes, I know some commissions are expensive (some too expensive, in my opinion), but some do art as a job and that should be respected!
