This one sucks

* brain is abjectly refusing to work today thanks to the looming dread about my lack of autonomy.

* i'm starting to digest the full consequences of submitting to capitalism, and what it means for limitations upon my autonomy has filled me with a sincere level of spiteful dread

* having any sort of means to support myself has always been difficult. i am finally in a situation where i seem capable of doing that.

* the consequence is that i have to play by a corporation's rules, and those rules often involve things like "you must be geolocated within Canada during work days, and we won't tell you why"

* alright. so how much time off do we get under Ontario labour laws?

* That's the employment standard in Ontario. That's just like, what having a full-time job is. This is what autonomy under capitalism looks like. Think about how much this blows.

* There are 52 weeks in a year and the fact that we are only entitled to autonomy for 2 of them is a crime against humanity. i fully believe freedom of movement is a fundamental human right. the fact that corporations can limit our freedoms over arbitrary things like "location" is horrid.

* it's debilitating, frankly. for the last 18 hours i've had the most intense feeling of weight over me that i've felt in like..... months.

It sucks.
