Yes, anxiety, now’s a great time to have the…at this point it’s probably more than bi-annual (because of course it is 😐 ) “what are you going to do with your life?” session that involves many side aspects such as wanting to leave the area so that I can have a fresh start somewhere where I’m not balancing trying to be me with dealing with the expectations of Way Too Many People Who Know My Family; minorly despairing over how many times the people in the college of ed repeat that “education is a conservative field” when I’d like nothing better than to wear a tie as often as I felt like wearing a shirt a tie could be worn with; needing a job that will either give me insurance or enough $$ for me to cover in on my own, because diabetes without insurance is not something I can do, and I don’t trust any governor of any state I might end up in to necessarily have been a decent human being who expanded Medicaid to people who are over 18 and who don’t have kids (because my shithead of a hypocritical moralist governor naturally didn’t expand it in AL).

In other news, really glad that I’m seeing a psychiatrist next week to talk meds and see what might work better for me. I’d like that “one brief shining moment” of wonderfulness that I briefly had when starting escitalopram back.

Mass Effect: Andromeda survey spills some plot details, reveals colonialism story

“The upcoming Mass Effect could feature heavy colonialism themes.”

please tell me there is still time for Bioware to trash this idea and give us a completely different story

please please please

“…where players will lead the fight for a new home in hostile territory – where WE are the aliens – opposed by a deadly indigenous race bent on stopping us”

can we just fucking ban white men from telling stories ever again? how the fuck is this a ~new and exciting idea~, this is White Supremacy Simulator 9001, this is just a rehash of Dragon Age: Imperialism in space, but ooo now ~we’re~ the aliens – now ~we’re~ a peaceful species who just wants a home and the natives are ~barbaric~ and want to ~destroy us~ when we just want to ~co-exist peacefully~

did fucking christopher columbus take lead on this shit or what

oh my god

oh my god

this is fucking remarkable. like–this *points at the andomeda “story” blurb* right here? 

this thing that Bioware wants to do?

this is like the most perfect & scintillating example of how canadian-brand racism manifests itself

FEAST YOUR PEEPERS AND BEHOLD.

THIS RIGHT HERE, THIS “STORY” AND THE ATTITUDE BEHIND IT?  THIS IS THE EXACT WAY CANADA (as an institution) IS FULL OF SHIT!

New weird feeling: Realizing you might be brushing your teeth a little too vigorously when your hand slips and you almost shove your toothbrush up your nose.

Minty fresh nostril is a weird feeling.

Not as weird as the feeling the time I got menthol shampoo in my eye, but still weird.

Mom, I love you, but 6:30am is too early for the gender presentation discussion/fight. I honestly do not care if you want me to “make an effort to look more feminine”; unless I happen to like something that you deem feminine, it ain’t happening. Also, while what I almost wore was, perhaps, a little too casual, saying it “didn’t look like a woman” sucked. I am a woman, they are my clothes. 😐
