It's my birthday I would like to stop being made to feel insane

I believe in simple things.

I believe you shouldn't have to be in crippling discomfort when you fly even if you can't afford fancy fares.

I believe that you shouldn't be expected to spend all your time working a job that provides no value to either society or to you simply because not having a job is unacceptable.

I believe the point of a government is to protect people from exploitation.

I believe we live in a society that is custom built to dehumanise us. To prioritise the needs of extraction capitalism over every other concern.

It's driving me insane.

Every day there's something new. Some piece of evidence that all the people who have power are craven idiots dedicated to making everything worse. Fucking sick of it, honestly.

This is all I have right now.

I'm tired and it's my birthday and I'm so fucking sick of feeling insane.
