You're so strong, Jazz.
But I probably should also eat healthier...I forgot I bought pasta and got another pack.

The only thing I practice restrain with is my spending, so- Chrimis Food Mukbang Impending🥰

*grabs the good communicators I know and holds them close*

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE YOU

COMMUNICATION IS A NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE

I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY NAMED A FIELD OF STUDY AFTER IT ATP

🥴
I'm being forced to reckon with how much I hate asking for people's attention.

I messaged a contact for a job trial and after hearing nothing all weekend, I message and find out the app we're msging on sabotaged me.
And I was sent for a loop on something else bc someone zoned in on smth unrelated

Btw, so sorry to newer followers. idk when this acc got +100.
I kind of pop in and out of existence online- or so I feel.
And I do often use this style of social media to write stream of consciousness rambles.

So if you see this, and you're like "who's that acting like it's a facebook wall"- Hi :3c

I'm so used to the "I'm stuck" stress. Feeling like a failure, full of shame, overwhelm, can only see up to my nose before the world ahead is a dissociative blur...

But this "grow" stress is more centered around insecurity, questions, curiosity, long-term planning, etc...

Depressive vs Healthy?lol

✨Basina✨ @sobbingmusouka.bsky.social · 3d

I feel like "moving forward" stress and "I'm stuck" stress initiate very different reactions.

Like life is full of stress, no avoiding it. I know I'm hella stressed right now, but it's not a "stuck" stress, it's a "moving forward" stress.

Which is nice bc it feels challenging but healthy?

High Context Conversations are hazing me.
Especially when speakers are coming from different backgrounds.

I'm really starting to understand why Japanese social conventions are the way they are. I feel like I'm taking in a lot of sociological knowledge lately.

I think another important thing, is that worker's rights in Canada are under massive threat.
The Canada Post strike is back again. There was the flight attendants strike a while back. The federal gov is meddling on behalf of corporations.
A Union President honestly makes sense. It's a major issue.

I was shocked that Rob had such a strong voice in his pitch when I initially read his section on the NDP website. Either he has an amazing head for communication and marketing, or he has amazing team members supporting him.
His interview was fantastic. Focused on the party's future, not on division.

The other candidates seem like they're too progressive or straight-up radical for the federal stage.
I think Tanille Johnston would do great provincially in BC, but I worry that all the old men in gov & assholes in public who've harassed Jagmet in the past would dismiss her or see her as easy prey.

I also watched Avi Lewis, who seems to be in a similar position as Heather in experience. However, his manner of speech feels erratic. It gives guy going on a passionate rant in the corner of the coffee shop and you can only engage w/ him if you agree, otherwise you're yelled at. Lowkey giving PP...

Rob's experience as a Worker's Union President shows.
He knows how to speak clearly, neutrally, with empathy, and doesn't speak down. I think out of any of the candidates, he has the most relevant experience and manner of presentation if the NDP wants to recoup the lost seats in the HoC.

I just watched some initial interviews with 3 of the leadership candidates. I think Heather McPherson has a great bid, but I think her framework for her pitch opens her up to be a target and be overly accommodating.
In treating everyone "the same", you end up isolating by not listening.

The NDP is really all over the place.
I know it's a lot of passionate, good-hearted people, but I think the consequences of so many people being more online since 2020 and the exposure to the ad nauseam alt-right easily digestible content is showing up in how people present and ground their POV.

I've been out of the loop w/ Canadian News, so I checked in on if the NDP announced a leadership race yet.

Rob Ashton feels like he'd be a great leadership figure. Especially if they want to reclaim blue-collar voters who shifted Con bc they fell for the Trump-ian Rhetoric the Cons parroted.

I love...witnessing myself almost entering a spiral.
Only to pull myself out, look away for a second, begin to spiral a little, pull back out...

Papa needs his chill pill tonight...Maybe I'll finally go to the liquor store and see how their prices compare to the grocery store

I need to tell myself that I just have ridiculously high standards, was raised around neurotic ass ppl, and I'm stressed/headache which puts me in a bad moon and makes me understandably more irritable

But also.

Communication is a skill and not everyone is good at it and that's okay even when they are professionals who make their living by being liaisons hahah
Yup. Communication is a skill. Getting a "ok" in response to you asking at least 2 questions is a skill issue but its okay

I deserve a drink tonight

😭😭😭 Why is everything seemingly happening in November for me...

like it's so not chill and I was just finally calming down

Man. MAN. Living for yourself is HARD. Especially when your self-esteem and social confidence is your biggest hurdle.

Aight. I got to view an apartment and it's such a nice deal for a long term place...

And Im so tired that it makes thinking about slightly stressful things worse🥲

I slept during the day again yesterday and between being up since 1am (now 2pm) and the HUMIDITY- I wanna melt into a puddle
