In a solidaristic sense I also don't think we should be defining ourselves as somehow not immigrants in this discussion. At the very least these cunts should have to say to my face why *I* don't have to worry. Explain yourselves clearly. Why would that be?

Just reminded of the Oglaf strip with the crow lawyer.

(One of the few safe for work strips, but the rest of the comics are very smutty.)

I know rationally you know this situation isn’t on you but on the lying liars who lied. I’m so sorry they’re putting you through those feelings and that stress.

This gets at something about those people I’m struggling to articulate. Like to them, the equation is “making art is not work” but also “some famous artists are rich” so “making art is a way to get lots of money without working and I should be allowed to get in on this zero effort get rich scheme”.

Me: got the freezy urghs, better do a fresh air stomp

My brain: ok, but do those _actually_ make you feel better or is it just the hit of relief of having done it??

Does it matter? Is it likely that I’m so uniquely misconfigured that I’ve found a way to do mental health walks wrong?
