Not meaning to sound dramatic but the Gender Accelerationist Manifesto changed my life for the better: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/vikky-storm-the-gender-accelerationist-manifesto
With how my history of employment is, I kind of wanna just give up on conventional employment and start a commune. I've bee doing some research and it would be hella hard at first but once systems are in place, I think it would be doable. I've talked to a few friends and 3 of them seem on board with the idea but I'm not sure how hard they think this endeavor might be.
Maybe I'm being silly about this whole thing though. But I just really can't keep doing the "job search for a year > have a job for 1.5 years > get fired and start over" cycle anymore. I started looking passively for a new job and it just feel gross at this point.
Anyway, it's Pride Month. I hope everyone enjoys all the mega-corporations changing their logos. Love for all my disabled, trans, queer, and enby siblings. 
So... pull out my 401k?
They ended up not firing me, but I'm gonna look for something else anyway. Fuck them.
I think in the States, it's only taken seriously if it's from a psychologist. I can't afford a real diagnosis.
I'm an Amazon delivery driver. We are very much at the bottom of the list for any sort of unionizing. The Teamsters are around but mostly in bigger cities and they've had at least a little success with unionizing some of the warehouses. They were in my city 2 years ago to bring a bit of awareness but since the city I live in is super fashy, it was mostly symbolic.
I've had 34 jobs in 25 years and I've been fired from the majority because of my disabilities. The main problem is I was diagnosed by a therapist and not a psychologist so it's not exactly official on paper. So I can't do anything legally against getting fired. If I do get fired and take my 401k out, I'm considering seeking out one of our trade unions because at least I will have those union protections going forward. But also I'm old as fuck at this point so it almost seems useless.
I'm probably getting fired from my job for not being able to pick up on social queues. My boss has told me a few times that I can't "blame everything on my autism" even though it literally affects my entire life. So that is cool. Idk what I'm gonna do. I might pull my 401k out and use that to live on until I figure something out. I want something that is fulfilling and turns out Amazon delivery driver isn't all that fulfilling. Who fucking knew?
My cow milking joke is officially retired 
Can we compromise with jazz?
We got this! I am so looking forward to early November when the smoke has finally settled.
Positivity update but I got an apartment locked in. I got a ton of stuff to do ahead of time though. After the last 48 hours, I'm honestly looking forward to getting out of this shitty situation. Shit was perfectly fine 3 weeks ago and idk what the fuck happened. Roommate applications are now open for goth metalhead socialists though. But ya gotta like deathcore. No hate.
Tiny caveat about the apartment that I do need to figure out but I want to run ethernet directly to my computer so I no longer have to deal with Linux wifi shit and idk where the drop is.
You guys are great. Maybe I do need to live single. Most of my autism-related issues is from too much family noise anyway.

If I did manage to start one, we could find something for you to do so you feel like you are giving back in a meaningful way.
My broken human ass would love to do meal prep and cooking.
