What’s something that gives your anxiety?

Making Phone calls

people

socializing

going into a public place

talking to someone i don’t know

going to a party for my parents’ friend

STANDING IN THE CHECKOUT LINE AT TARGET WHILE MY MOTHER IS GRABBING THE MILK

walking to the bus stop after leaving a little later than usual and worrying i’m gonna miss the bus

something unplanned being added into my schedule

having to order first when i’m in a group (even if i already know what i want)

everything makes me scared… idk why.

“Can I speak with you for a moment?” “I need to talk to you.”

My stomach just drops when I hear those words.

if you give me time to over think, then i can easily get anxious over ✨a n y t h i n g✨

Felling tired as hell but then when going to bed I start to fear I’ll have nightmares and suddenly can’t fall asleep, nbd 👍🏼🤷‍♀️

My favourite: “I need to talk to you. How about Friday next week?”

Suuuure, let me suffer for over a week, catastrophize, and overthinking everything I’ve ever done in the last five years😒

getting notifications

attitude or mood shifts

falling asleep when I’m alone (sometimes, I’m paranoid about ghosts these days I know I’m sorry 😭)

using Ubers and all

giving presentations

confrontation/serious conversations

Arguments fights someone yelling at me, raising voice

going to the doctor’s office and sitting in the waiting room.

Waking up in the middle of the night.

Receiving messages, notifications, calls….

Outings.

Shopping.

People.

Silence.

Noise.

I know it feels like an understatement but you sometimes make more progress by pointing out that conservatives are fucking rude. going out of your way to call someone the wrong name because you don't like them? rude. childish. this isn't fucking kindergarten, Carl. she said her name is Jennifer. Everybody knows her as Jennifer. You are the one making things confusing. Grow up.

"misgendering is violence": invites discourse over the TraNs DeBatE, puts people on the defensive, opens you up to accusations of liberal snowflakery, comes off as a hypothetical thought exercise

"Who the fuck is Jason? I don't know a Jason. Oh her? You mean Jen? You mean fucking Jen? That's Jen, dipshit." : crystal clear. you're making shit more difficult for everyone because you're a rude manchild.

My bigoted uncle was harassing my mother on a Facebook post awhile back. I shut the entire thing down by commenting that he was being rude, childish, and that his mama would be ashamed of him.

He damn sure doesn't comment rude shit on my mother's Facebook page anymore!

The elves of middle earth having the same “call your dad when you don’t know how to fix a problem” instinct but because they live forever it’s like

Some elf starts experiencing the elven equivalent of car trouble (idk, horse won’t go?) and calls his dad, and then his dad can’t figure it out so he calls HIS dad and so on and so forth until you’ve got this guys entire lineage all huddled together in elven cargo shorts trying to solve a dented horseshoe

Most bittersweet thing I’ve ever learned is that most animation is not affected by the writers strike so we get to keep cartoons, but it’s only because animators aren’t making enough fucking money to even qualify for WGA

Just to clarify here, it’s not that there is some kind of income range where an animator could “qualify” for the WGA; animation writers fall under a different union’s jurisdiction, The Animation Guild or TAG, which it itself under IATSE (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, representing many crew members in various departments).

Some TAG people are members of both the WGA and TAG, and TAG is currently honoring the WGA picket lines and picketing with WGA members! Aand to make things more complicated, there are some animated shows covered by the WGA (complicated history here). But the two unions mostly cover different things, and this dates back to the way Hollywood was organized in the early days.

TAG having lower pay rates and weaker union protections are definitely current issues, though, and there is hope that if the actors’ guild (SAG-AFTRA) and the directors’ guild (DGA) strike, we could see some big changes happen with IATSE too. (You may have heard of the averted 2021 IATSE negotiations, when a strike was narrowly averted. They definitely achieved some gains in the negotiations but not TAG/WGA pay parity!)

You can read more about the animation guild wage disparity here, discussing TAG’s 2021 negotiations. At the time they stated “Animation writers make a minimum of $2,064 per week, while WGA weekly minimums range from $4,063 to $5,185"—I think we can all agree that’s an absurd difference when TV writing from animation to live-action is really not that different!

There is also currently a petition to unionize Disney animation production workers who currently do not have TAG membership—please add your name if you haven’t already!

my friend asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend because her parents are homophobic af but they ended up hating me so much that they were glad when she said she was gay task failed successfully
