I always hate it when people are all “so do you go to school, or are you working, or” and I either have to

• make up some lie, or
• eventually get around to “I am not working because of depression/anxiety,” and subsequently have to deal with whatever bullshit-riddled and completely unsolicited opinions on mental illness this stranger feels obligated to share with me.

So my therapist was like, “You don’t have to do either. You can just say you haven’t worked in a while because you’re recovering from an illness.”

I tried it when the home inspector was here today, and it fucking worked. He was like, “oh, I’m sorry, are you doing better now,” and I’m like yeah, and don’t worry, it’s not contagious, awkward laugh, and we moved on.

MY THERAPIST. IS A GENIUS. Because it is an illness, so it’s not a lie to say that, and it’s also none of his business to know specifically what it is, and I clearly don’t want to give more details, so we should move on from this topic. MY THERAPIST IS A GODDAMN GENIUS.

Dude I needed this. I never know what to say when people ask if I work because I’m severely disabled and don’t work.

REBLOG TO SAVE A LIFE HOLY SHIT

To add, this works on job interviews too.  I once had to answer the ‘so whats up with this gap of 8 months in your resume where you were unemployed?” and I just said I had suffered an illness and I needed time to recover.

It’s easy enough, not a lie, and puts them on edge enough that they usually don’t go digging.

1000%.

I got sick back in November, and I kept it at that. Colleagues etc don’t need to know what it was. But I was sick. It affected my functioning and my ability to perform at work.

We’e fucking humans living with all types of health conditions and varying degrees of ability, and so much of our contemporary culture around work goes to great lengths to disregard this.

Also mental health is physical health. Literally. End of story.

The dead don't die. No one is ever really gone. Etc.

Techromancy

Horrors within my comprehension

Fucking grave robbers

Those are not the living dead I singed up for as a zombie fan.

Hey you!

Are you a furry with extraneous spending money? Do you want to support a non-furry artist who also wants extraneous spending money?

I will draw whatever you want. Look at me. Whatever you want. You want a raccoon rocking out to some music? A bear drawn like one of your French girls? Just ladies shopping for wonder bread? I will draw it for you.

I may not be a furry myself, but honestly I could use some practice drawing animals. And hey, who wasn't slightly attracted to Disney's Robin Hood as a kid?

If you're interested, message me! We can talk art style, what it is you're looking for, prices, etc. I'm pretty flexible about this, I'm not quite at starving artist status, I'm mostly just looking to make some extra fun money while my boring office job pays for the necessities.

Let's talk art!

Posted this on my sideblog, promoting myself right now lol.
