Yes! I loved this exhibition when I saw it. It was 15 years ago and I still think about it!
I don’t want to go to therapy anymore because the things making me sad are structural inequalities. And therapy won’t change that. I should be allowed to be sad about things I don’t have any control over.
I’d like you to know I’m being very productive. All I do is lay in the bath and cry.

I just fucking give up. Pregnancy and having a baby is too hard. Today I was told on day 3 of my new job that if I take any parental leave that there probably won’t be a job when I come back (aka fired).
Cool well I guess I’ll just be broke then or take like 2 days off then go back to work with a FUCKING NEWBORN.
Don’t you love it when you quit a job to avoid killing yourself, then your next job is even worse. 6 months of god damn misery only to be topped off with this.
