Started Reading Witch Hat Atelier And The Mangaka Must Have Modeled Agott After Me

Hatsune Miku ; Vocaloid ☆ SEGA

TWEWY & NEO TWEWY fr got some of the best soundtracks I've ever heard I am madly in love with them. I'm a real metalhead and fw the hard rock tracks like Transformation, Breaking Free, but especially Emptiness and. Still, I adore the vocals on softer jams like Calling too. Everything on these OSTs to be honest.

This is a comfort game for me rn, I like trying to optimize my pin combos and the chars are pretty endearing so far. Not to mention these char designs are immaculate and most of em are dripped the fuck out down to even the insignificant shopkeepers

I'm not entirely sure how to describe my mental state as things are now. From a rational point I've internalized that hope is a fundamental need for survival, that life is never truly over until you've breathed your last no matter how suffocating or excruciating your current life situation is. That life is what you make of it, and each individual has the freedom to determine their own purposre. Yet, I still cant help but feel just so hopeless and depressed all the time. Beyond a shadow of a doubt I know a future where seeing the body I was born with doesn't make me want to cry is one I can achieve. That a life outside of my current overbearing loneliness and isolation can be mine, and that living a lie to preserve my few existing close relationships is a temporary situation I can be freed of eventually. Yet I cant escape perpetual hopelessness and irrational anxiety. I simultaneously feel confident in my potential yet disgusted in my reality, never wanting to end my life yet hating to live.

There's no real point to this rambling, im not gonna bother proofreading for errors or any of that. I'm venting to the void for myself more than anything. I still lack a healthy means to process my emotions relying on endlessly drowning thoughts out with distractions. Books, comics, games, martial arts, anything that can suppress the misery with momentary pockets of happiness. Maybe all of us need escapes to survive, or maybe I'm projecting to feel less alone.

I want a hug more than anything. Its so exhausting playing this masculine role and being a "son" to maintain what few relationships I have in life. Not even talking strictly romantically, just having someone in my daily life who understands and supports me and could give me a hug now and again would lighten the heavy burden of daily life.

X=0, my piece for @mechanicalheartzine !!! (+ An updated Mythos Zero for the digital bundle under the cut ❤️)

I'm so happy I got to participate, it was quite an experience.

I cleaned up his colors, and added a background!! Yay!!

I finally finished up w/ Gundam IBO and ended up enjoying it a ton. I have complaints, its definitely a lot more "Anime™️" than what I typically watch as far as tropes go with like the harem ship and stuff but I just really liked the story it was trying to tell and the tragedy of Tekkadan's existence. I actually thought the mobile suit designs were pretty dope but that could be the result of them feeling Armored Core adjacent, and the OST was great. I was worried about season 2 going into things since I had heard complaints about it but I might even like it more than the first, the emphasis on showing the fallout of Tekkadan makes the commentary feel more complete, it was an interesting tidbit of info we got hearing that the group's success at the end of s1 "proved" the efficacy if child soldiers and in a roundabout way made things a lot worse though that specific aspect wasnt super explored. There's a lot I could say in regards to the story's themes and a ton to dissect but im lazy and my impression of the series rn was that it was a great ride. Also it was raw as hell and that's important for me.

An incomplete list of things that employers commonly threaten that are 100% illegal in the United States

"We'll fire you if you tell others how much you're making" The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 specifically protects employees who discuss their own wages with each other (you can't reveal someone else's wages if you were given that information in the course of work, but you can always discuss your own or any that were revealed to you outside of work duties)

"If we can't fire you for [discussing wages/seeking reasonable accommodation/filing a discrimination complaint/etc], we'll just fire you for something else the next day." This is called pretextual termination, and it offers your employer almost no protection; if you are terminated shortly after taking a protected action such as wage discussion, complaints to regulatory agencies, or seeking a reasonable accommodation, you can force the burden onto your employer to prove that the termination wasn't retaliatory.

"Disparaging the company on social media is grounds for termination" Your right to discuss workplace conditions, compensation, and collective action carries over to online spaces, even public ones. If your employer says you aren't allowed to disparage the company online or discuss it at all, their social media policy is illegal. However, they can forbid releasing information that they're obligated to keep confidential such as personnel records, business plans, and customer information, so exercise care.

"If you unionize, we'll just shut this branch down and lay everyone off" Threatening to take action against a group that unionizes is illegal, full stop. If a company were to actually shut down a branch for unionizing, they would be fined very heavily by the NLRB and be opening themselves up to a class-action lawsuit by the former employees.

"We can have any rule we want, it's only illegal if we actually enforce it" Any workplace policy or rule that has a "chilling effect" on employees' willingness to exercise their rights is illegal, even if the employer never follows through on any of their threats.

"If you [protected action], we'll make sure you never work in this industry/city/etc again." Blacklisting of any kind is illegal in half the states in the US, and deliberately sabotaging someone's job search in retaliation for a protected action is illegal everywhere in the US.

"Step out of line and you can kiss your retirement fund/last paycheck goodbye." Your employer can never refuse to give you your paycheck, even if you've been fired. Nor can they keep money that you invested in a retirement savings account, and they can only claw back the money they invested in the retirement account under very specific circumstances.

"We'll deny that you ever worked here" not actually possible unless they haven't been paying their share of employment taxes or forwarding your withheld tax to the government (in which case they're guilty of far more serious crimes, and you might stand to gain something by turning them in to the IRS.) The records of your employment exist in state and federal tax data, and short of a heist that would put Oceans 11 to shame, there's nothing they can do about that.
