Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.
Hey gang I've had to learn recently that the whole "burning out" thing is real so if you find yourself being panicked every waking second that you're not working on something, despite those seconds being very rare, you should maybe listen to the signals and take an intentional break before you crash

Blocking Access to Harmful Content Will Not Protect Children Online, No Matter How Many Times UK Politicians Say So

I'm never get over the fact that this administration's war on trans people is being carried out with the pretext of "protecting women and girls" while the president is a pedophile rapist.

Honestly, with hindsight, Radcliffe, Watson and Grint's public statements where they sided with trans people, expressed their support with no caveats, and willingly blew up any chances at future ties to the franchise has only gotten more and more noteworthy as more actors are revealed to be cowards

Multiplayer Battlefield is defined by a guy jumping out of a jet, shooting another jet with a rocket, and then climbing back into the jet before it hits the ground. The ads know this!! They play into it!! But DON'T WORRY, they're definitely not gonna have a black lady rapper in there.

Paypal ESPECIALLY needs to be haunted and screamed loudly at. They're the easiest platform for consumers to use in europe and NA and thus the most important to our income. If you ever noticed that amazon doesn't accept Paypal, it's because they sell sex toys. Make them understand that's fucked.
