dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I got a job doing what I wanted (it seemed important, aligned with my values, and was intellectually stimulating) and it just turned into another job I didn't want to show up for. Organizing is also a job, but at least I want to do it.

Huge difference between being coerced and not.

Yeah, I got into a job that I thought I always wanted. That was naive of me because once I was forced to do the thing it was no longer appealing. Hobbies do not make good jobs because a job will ruin your love of the thing in my experience.
