Feeling rough today after an emotionally draining Sunday. I'll spare the details, but long story short, my partner's mother can be very passive-aggressive at times, and also, we had to eat unsweetened cake, which strikes me as an entirely pointless foodstuff. And it had carob on top (IT'S BARELY EVEN A FOOD) and oat milk poured over. It was a

THAT SAM ROCKWELL PLATE = ♥ LOL

Also, what is it with passive-aggressive adults? *hugs*

This, incidentally, as well as being a useful illustration of the meaningless of much of the employment on offer to intelligent young people in our culture - young people who have invested huge amounts of time and money in a university education, who have spent years learning to argue and debate and construct and create and use their brains only to find themselves thrust out into a workforce that patronises them, treats them like imbeciles, piles them high with menial tasks and awards them no responsibility

This. Most of my friends have graduated and they are EPICALLY smart (not just book or grades smart, you know, really intelligent) and for some reason their "bosses" act like they know nothing and treat them like pesky children. It's so demoralizing to hear, sometimes.

In an odd way I'm glad to know it's not just me, but overall, it massively sucks that younger people (and, I mean, for fuck's sake, I'm pushing 30) are so undervalued in workplaces. :(

COMMEMORATIVE PLATES, though = THE MOTHERFUCKIN' BEST

oat milk
OAT MILK IS REALLY GOOD. But I'm sure it was disgusting on a cake. Still, though. Alone? Yum :D

I wasn't convinced, but tbh I'm a bit biased against any of the substitute foodstuffs the boyfriend's family keep feeding me. Bleh.

OMG, TRY AND KILL ME WITH ALL YOUR CUTE JEWELRY WHY DON'T YOU. *RESISTS SHINY PULL*

and idc if you post tiny entries, that just means your name pops up on my flist. *smishes*

[fera_festiva]

Haha. You're already pretty much my best customer. When I become a fully-fledged jewellery designer who does this for an actual living I will name a range of pins after you. "The Sugars Collection". XD

*smishes you back, you darling creature*

To make up for your MIL and that horrible cake (though I hesitate to call any item of that description cake...) I will make you earl grey marshmallows for your enjoyment. To enjoy them, simply purchase a ticket to Charleston, SC, USA and redeem at your convenience. *hug* I'm sorry you had to endure...carob. *shudder*

[fera_festiva]

Oh my god. Earl grey marshmallows? I THINK MY MOUTH JUST HAD AN ORGASM. ♥_♥

(Seriously. This thing was like an insult to the concept of cake. It was like, vegan carrot cake only with no sugar or anything - might actually have worked quite well as a savoury muffin to have alongside soup or something, except that it had RANDOM POINTLESS CAROB and RANDOM POINTLESS MILK SUBSTITUTE. It's like she knows what cake is meant to look like but not what it's actually for.)

[forest_rose]

A plate of wonder! :-D

That cake sounds like an instrument of torture. Report her to Amnesty. xxx

Commemorative plates are the greatest. SO TACKY. I love them.

The stupid thing is, this was not even the worst thing I've been fed by the Underlord's mum. The fizzy yoghurt was a particular highlight.
