The Thing That Screws Me Up About This Post Is I Originally Saw It Not That Long Before Experiencing

the thing that screws me up about this post is i originally saw it not that long before experiencing burnout myself

i remember feeling awful, but even more so, enraged that the world (my mother) got upset with me because i hit my limit

they didn't want me to stop being upset they just wanted their worker bee back their little soldier

since then, i have followed this post to the letter, except i for a while i felt guilty about it sometimes do not feel guilty everyone needs rest pushing yourself is far, far worse

in fact, in the afterword for 1984, the book on dystopia, it says that while the book is a reflection of the nature of communist, totalitarian regimes of the USSR and communist china, it is also a reflection of the bureaucratic, industrial hell that the US is

in short, rest is important, and the lack of it is a feature of a great many dystopias

Something I made while dealing with my own stuff and hoping drawing this would pick me up somehow. Maybe it worked.

PSA for Ao3 Users:

Be sure to check the URL before clicking on any site to go to Ao3. I noticed today when I searched via Google Chrome that there is a false Ao3 site that comes up as the first result.

It says archiveofour.net

When you go to it, it looks EXACTLY like Ao3, but it is NOT.

When I curiously tapped the search bar, a pop-up opened to direct me elsewhere. I believe this to be a spoof site for the purpose of either phishing or possibly hijacking PCs for mining bitcoin or some other malicious purpose.

I could be wrong. Perhaps it's a proxy site- but the fact that it redirected me to yet another suspicious-looking URL is alarming.

I let a few friends know, but it doesn't appear on every browser. @plague-of-insomnia mentioned using CC and Safari, and it didn't appear for them.

Ya'll be careful, and remember to always check the URL! At first glance, this spoof site is very convincing. If I had been half asleep, I may not have noticed it was different.
