ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.

there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.

there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.

doing nothing is good for my soul.

i am not defined by what i produce.

my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.

i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.

i will not let society decide what success looks like. i can define what successful life looks like for me.

If my mates aren't down to do this at the drop of a hat, no questions asked, what are we even friends for?

I am utterly captivated by this video series that Taryn Delanie and friends have been making on TikTok

Working all week long (because I'm an artist).

You know, sometimes it really hurts that I'll never be 17 again walking back from the bus along the quayside with the winter dusk and cold sea breeze, listening to boywithuke for the first time.

That I'll never ride the bus back from college to my little town and sit with my legs over the stone wall watching the pair of swans floating by the boats, waiting for my dad to come pick me up.

Anyone under 20, and over to be honest, please cherish those peaceful little moments. I wish I had, it's something I'm trying to do more.

StopTheTories.Vote

Your vote is your power. Find out how to use it tactically to Stop The Tories and influence the next government.

GUYS THIS IS A REALLY HELPFUL TOOL IF YOU LIVE IN THE UK!!!

Use your vote tactically in this coming election on July 4th so that you can vote for who you actually want to in the next one.

Please please register to vote and go to your local polling station (or by post/proxy) in this election. It's really important especially for trans/ queer/ disabled people/ any marginalised community really. We stand to lose even more rights and the slim protections than we do have if the Tories or even worse, Reform, gain power.

Please share this to any friends or family who are also eligible to vote and are unsure of who is the best vote in your constituency!

Let's get the Tories out!

I know most people don't care about anything unless it has to do with the U.S. but can we please start talking about the Canadian election.

Please don't vote for Poilievre. He's basically the Canadian Trump and plans to put in place laws that harm trans youth, and lots of other shit.

Please vote istg this is the only way anything will get better. Poilievre has been kissing millionaires and billionaires asses. He'll make life even harder, and he loves Trump.

Reblogs are appreciated, especially if you aren't Canadian.
