The Sus Among Us
Pending life events, we'll be doing our collaborative twitch stream with FallenSystemGaming later this evening.
I haven't played Among Us since they added all these new rules, and FallenSystem is entirely new to the game.
Shenanigans ahead!
No it won't be today
I have no say
Lady death has her own unique way
So for now I stay
And wait for the call
Foe lady death to allow me the fall
2/2
#Lyrics #Poem #LadyHel #SuicideSurvivor #Writer
I want to die
But it wont be today
Lady death says I should stay.
She comes for us all
And one day I'll rest
When she comes to call
And lets me lay on her lap.

I'm still salty as hell that the local DV shelter invited me to an SA Processing group and NONE of the women were informed that there would be a man in the room. And the facilitator didn't check any overgeneralizations about men I had to sit thru.
Yeah no man can understand being raped. Sure sure
The small businesses in my local area have all turned to AI-Gen for their marketing materials.
I just can't compete and I'm about to give up. Couldn't sell art online, can't sell it in person, can't make it fucking fast enough compared to humans or machine.
🤷 Shame SW is nearly impossible now.
Nope! I have Celiac Disease and Some food texture issues, but I'm a big fan of rice and beans. My partner has very strong texture issues with rice and beans.
But! There's a compromise bc the food banks have plenty they can eat.
Agreed! My current state doesn't do bottle recycling, I used to live in Michigan and that's how we covered expenses or extra treats.
I hear you on the sugar - I've had some experience making potato soup so I might do that with the remaining whole tates that are sitting in the fridge just to make them last a few more days than they would if mashed. Freeze the remaining portions.. 🤔 Thank you for the idea!
Top tier advice. A local grocery store recently had a sale on 1doz eggs for $0.99 each. Rice freezes really well.
I'm having a small issue where I have been advised to avoid rice and potatoes bc of the starch. Apparently I'm dancing the edge of fatty liver disease, SOMEHOW. 🤦
I hate dry beans (I don't have a pressure cooker and soaking doesn't seem to help) but I've definitely stocked up on enough rice and beans to get by. Something that sucks is our partner system has texture problems with rice AND beans. 😭 Not a safe food for them like it is for us.
Yeah, once in a while I write into the local authority that handles foodstamps about the cost of bread and pasta for me - and the need to increase my benefits. Sometimes it works. If I ever call in or show up in person, they tell me they can't adjust based on dietary needs. 🫂
As individuals this means pressuring local organizations, and harassing the hell out of government representatives to DO THE THING. On a smaller scale, we can normalize these conversations so that more folks are aware of the need and can also apply pressure and change where necessary. 4/4
Some states have carbonated beverage container recycling where you can get 5-10 cents back per bottle. Requiring all food and food production companies to have a regulated recycling program would do wonders as well. The companies should reimburse citizens for sending used packaging back. /3
As individuals we can work more towards utilizing and supporting community gardens, normalize bringing your own veggie bags instead of using the plastic bags at the store, and re-using containers to break down bulk items into portion sizes for the week/month. /2
Radically alter the food industry standards (Which already needs to happen because climate change). There's no easy solution, but laws and regulations that require bio-degradable packaging and/or moving back to Bulk stores where people bring their own containers like in the 1800s-1900s. /1
After a very eventful day, FallenSystemGaming will go live around 6pm CST. A couple hours later than the regular time.
Stay tuned to watch Virgil (he/him) play games like Supermarket Simulator. Potentially, Live Music!

How do you make 6$ in foodstamps stretch for 20-ish days between 2 people and Celiac Disease?
Asking for a friend.
The friend is me.
I don't think littering is the problem.
I think the unsustainable practices of the food industry are the problem.
Littering is a natural & instinctual behavior that returns seeds and nutrition to the earth.
But then we started using non biodegradable packaging.
I don't blame ppl who litter.
What's really horrible about this is that the Predator = Man and Victim = Women rhetoric makes female rapists invisible, it protects them. There's less accountability and acknowledgement for the aunties and babysitters molesting kids in their care.
The world protects female rapists every day.
The boys will be sneakier about it, the girls will be out in the open about it. It's just girls being girls. They have more intimate relationships so blah blah blah.
No. Nope. Not okay. Still assault. Non-consensual touch, harm, humiliation. Forcible undressing.
Girls are predators too.
Here's your unpleasant reminder that women can be predators and rapists and molesters too.
My first sexual abuser was my grandmother. In middle school and high school I was sexually assaulted, molested, undressed, slapped in the chest or ass by primarily the other girls in class.
If Self-Esteem isn't enough try: Self-Efficacy!
Self-Efficacy defined by the Cambridge Dictionary:
"A person's belief that they can be successful when carrying out a particular task".
Basically, how much do you trust yourself to do the thing you're doing?

FallenSystem is easily 70% more chill than I am these days - even when raging out at a video game.

Yes all men, and often women too.
And female rapists rarely see any repercussions.
You think accountability against male predators is bad.
HAHA.
Ha.
Ha...
At least ppl don't erase your experience when it's a male assailant.
My Tiktok is blowing up on a specific topic so let's remember something:
Women. Can. Be. Rapists. And. Predators. Too.
A majority of my SA was at the hands of women - & I think the world protects these disgusting fucks w/the regurgitated rhetoric used around SA.
Ppl act like only men are evil.
I'm not going to be truly okay for a while.
I'm gonna keep doing my damnest, but expect it to be messy, imperfect, human. 5/5
Being on the precipice of the rolling snowball back into homelessness and having no life direction is scarier than ever facing my abusers again, scarier than a dog attack, scarier than a car crash. /4
And while I've been in a pretty good place since 2022, it doesn't mean I've had the support or level of treatment I need to make my resume competitive enough. Not like it matters in this economy.
I'm terrified of losing my progress, my housing, my stability, my current therapist & my self-efficacy
I did EVERYTHING I could to get treatment, and get back into the workforce. It's been 12 years. 6 hospitalizations, 3 ICU stays, 20+ therapists, 3,500+ hours of peer support work, countless hours studying, countless medical doctors, over 18 different psychiatric meds tried. 2/
