Black Canary "Back Ally Shift"
Two years ago, I took advantage of this awesome back alley to make this crossplay as Black Canary happen. The LED lighting was perfect in assisting me with the right lighting in the right place, where I could create a scene similar to Batman and Green Arrow comic books, along with some fan artwork I drew from. The city of Camdenton is great for anyone who wants to do cosplays and goths without going to the big cities. Sometimes, the good old small towns tend to have what you need and want to make your day that much better. That July night was definitely one of them.

Goth is becoming more popular than it has ever been. Take for example The Cure cover "The Perfect Girl" that has by total over billion streams. Of course a lot of it has to do with universal feeling of melancholy, spread through TikTok.

Just noticed that even TWIX uses Belarusian postpunk song that quotes Russian poet's words about institutionalized life, where death feels more cozy than life - but there's a desperate longing to face life directly, to cry, and to keep living rather than disappear.

Btw, this Twix commercial got banned in Britain.

While TikTok follows trends - and I'm quite surprised to see something as underground as Radio Werewolf being played by teenagers & young adults - there's also people like a clothing market in St. Petersburg (Russia), named Kissa Market (Kissa means Cat in Finnish) that isn't just a company but a whole philosophy and a collective answer to life's struggles. These photos market their own brand of clothing, and their shop in the "ruins of empires".

I'm not sure what fuzzy foreign language is on those products, but if it's alcohol...this is the most tragic pic i've ever seen!!!

The culture war is this country is beyond comical. The internet has given every neurotic blowhard a platform to feign outrage and it's not healthy. Life is short and hopefully many people will find wasting time on things with no real importance other than to divide and control us isn't worth the effort.

I needed three rare figures from ebay, lucky star to complete my collection. I sent a message can I just have 3 in red. They made a new listing, the three I needed instead of the the onesI already owned, So I bought them. They just arrived, maybe there was some confusion because seller has sent the 3 I wanted and the the girls as well. Now I have two sets of lucky star figures, popped em on my monitor. I had to get them out of their body bags just not right!

I just had a meltdown in the lab...because I'm burned and spent by this shit. This company has burned me completely and I'm just a walking pile of ash. Every passing day I wish more and more that I was one of the people that were layed off or that I would have an accident break and ankle or so and get a sick leave for a few weeks. Just to catch a breath and be an unexpected gap on the personal.
It's not the stress that's getting me I actually don't think the workload is overwhelming at the moment it's average and manageable. It's the lack of pay and appreciation that bothers me. I came on Saturdays I came on Sundays gave 110% to make them see that I am worth getting the same pay as the others and instead I get a warm sweaty handshake and a chocolate I can't even eat.
And I'm still trying to give a 110 percent that I don't even have in me anymore why because of revenge because I want it to hurt heavily when I leave and I want to see them in false security about my loyalty. But I'm not even sure that's worth it...
At this point I just wish for a new job opportunity and hope the company goes bankrupt so that I can get social support. I wouldn't get that for a few months if I resigned without a new job.

I'm so tired of all I don't even know how I still manage to get myself out if bed everyday. In the past few weeks I caught myself wishing I would catch a nasty cold or even fall off the bike and break something so I can catch a break...
How Terrible is that.

If BadBunny’s singing was translated live (captioning), there would have been a bigger backlash, more ppl turning away from his show.
Just because his music had a “good beat” doesn’t mean that the lyrics are good.

This is one reason why we should teach foreign languages in high school like it was back in the day. But English should still be the main and official language of the USA.

I'm sinking more and more into one of my sleep escapism-depressions again. Everything is so discouraging and seems so hopeless....

I can barely get myself to leave the bed lately. I lack any motivation and elan to do anything.
Perpetually trapped in task paralysis.

On workdays I push myself to still give 110% despite constantly asking "what am I doing it for its not like it's fruitful for me". Work drains me so much I can't find the energy to look for new jobs after hours.
And on Weekends I am still drained and barely drag myself out of bed after sleeping for 12hr, then I end up on the couch staring into my phone screen doomscrolling, because I can't get myself to sit on my PC and look for job offers because I know there are barely any that are suitable for me. But pursuing my hobbies makes me feel guilty because "I should spend this time on looking for jobs".
So I just sit there on the couch trapped by invisible chains of guilt and discourage while I'm hoping for the unlikely miracle that a Recruiter will find my job profile and it's the perfect match for both sides. And that the world politics wills suddenly be bearable again. But with the current leaders pfft finding the Amber-room again is more likely than having a secure and happy future.
Thats why I keep asking myself: What future am even doing it for?
