I wish the woolly chafer beetle was as big as a rabbit and I could have one as a pet

There’s a depressing ass poem hiding in here, but im too tired to put it together.
inspired by the beast post
i must ask you reblog this so said beast, you know. actually has attributes also ping me or something if you draw it i want to see.
I work as a programmer for $35 an hour.
They once forgot to pay me for 8 extra hours that they needed me to work on Thanksgiving weekend. They simply needed me to be present for 8 hours in order to quickly fix any problems that happened during their busiest weekend, and no such problems ended up happening.
When they saw the mistake and paid me for it, the gross pay for that day was $420 (base of $35 x 8 hours x 1.5 for overtime).
The first thing I noticed was how that compared to what I got paid at my warehouse job before I became a programmer. When I started the job at the warehouse, I got paid $10 an hour. For a full time week, I got paid $400.
I got paid more for that one day of doing practically nothing as a programmer than I did busting my ass at the warehouse for a whole week.
So enough about this "I work harder than them so I deserve more pay" bullshit. You're all the working class. In our fucked up system, hard work does not equal more pay. If you want more pay, you need to fight back against the rich assholes who profit off your labor and pay you jack shit, not fight with other people who are underpaid about who deserves to be more underpaid.
reddit, how do I make my firstborn stop playing with the fans, the ornaments, and the makeup when he is supposed to be a warlord. I fear I shall raise a poet.
Not feminist as in "women should be included in the draft" but feminist as in "being drafted is a violation of bodily autonomy for any gender".
The draft should not exist. Drafting people into the military is a violation of human rights. You should not be able to force someone to risk their life. If you can't find enough people who care about a conflict to keep it going then it simply shouldn't keep going. You can't even force someone to donate a kidney using government power, why the fuck can you force them to donate their whole body and life to a cause they don't agree with or don't care about?

GUESS WHO GOT FROGGY WIGGLE PEN BACK
yesterday i was just tryin to get a little froggy wiggle pen so i bought one in the morning then it went missing and so i looked for it and decided to just go to the school store and buy another one but the hallway was completely packed with kids runnin so i had to go to class cause there’s no way im walking through that and i asked my teacher if i could go to the store and right as she was writing the pass. boom lockdown. kids are crying and shit but where is my froggy pen. apparently there was a school mystery intruder or smth but nobody got hurt (except for froggy pen) i asked my teacher for a pass right after lockdown ended (i think she was mentally saying wtf) and when i got there no more froggy pens were left :[ i did get a preetty cool sparkly pen though. and school got canceled today (my birthday) so that’s also pretty cool. (ty for the birthday gift school mystery intruder)
Canary
You are a coal mine
And I am a little, yellow, canary.
I am sitting,
Waiting,
Watching,
To see if I am going
To make it through today
Unscathed.
I take attendance of deities
And mark them absent
With unanswered prayers.
So here I am left in my cage,
Hoping not to choke
On your fumes of self-importance.
I remember the days
Of being free in the sun,
Until I found you.
You spun such sweet words
That made this cage
Seem like a home.
Here I stayed,
Without a second thought,
Until the bars started to show
Through bad wallpaper.
Now I sit,
Watching,
Waiting,
Hoping,
Not to choke
On your fumes of self-importance.
Ever since I was a little girl ive always wanted to open the emergency exit door

when I was around twelve I used to sit at the family computer and send hatemail to a white french dude named Jacques who was a self proclaimed communist on Tumblr. This was back in the day when you didn't need a blog to send anon hate. I had no real beef with him but I just didn't like his tone. used to send him "SHUT UP Jacques" periodically. and he'd answer every single one of my asks like "who is this?? show your face or I'll fucking kill you" and I'd be like "now now, that doesn't make sense, jacques" all haughty and he'd get so fucking mad at me. One time he posted a selfie and I sent him an ask claiming I was a psychologist and that his hair parting suggested that he wasn't a communist at all. and he took it deliriously serious and went off on a 2,000 word rant. I can remember going to stay at my grandparents over that weekend, so I didn't even respond to the rant until I came back. I could've chosen to end it there, but when I returned, I sent him another ask which was like "psychologist here again: if you were a communist your hair parting would be in the middle. evenly distributed. All behavioural signs point to someone who doesn't take their own values seriously." and he went ballistic. really swearing at me. all caps type beat. he never turned the asks off, btw. which always made me wonder if he didn't know how to, or if he didn't want to cause he was convinced he was fighting a war, and this action would ensure he lost it. anyway this went on for weeks until one day I completely forgot about him like he was some kind of childhood imaginary friend I'd conjured up in my loneliness. but yesterday I happened to recall the whole scenario, because my buddy was like "remember when you were twelve and I came over to your house, and you showed me on the computer how you'd been terrorizing this random French guy for days on end. And you were laughing like fucking crazy. and I said it wasn't funny because he probably had problems, and you were like 'oh.' and you looked a bit guilty for a second, but then you went and got a grapefruit from the kitchen and threw it out of the second story window at my kid brother, who was playing in the street, and then you started laughing again?" Well. when she put it like that, needless to say I felt bad. so Jacques if you're out there I'm sorry I was such a little shit. you had totally normal hair, and you only wanted people to share stuff. If it's any consolation I know every day of my life that I'm probably going to hell for the sick things I have done
