Flags

, , , 1 Comment

If you’re British you’ve probably already heard of the campaign to fly English flags everywhere to “protest” migrants being in the UK. It is deeply upsetting and upsetting the people around me as well.

Unfortunately one particularly obnoxious flag is now flying in my home village. I looked at it and I thought how desperately unfair it was that that flag is allowed to be plastered over every city as a “you’re not welcome” to migrants, while the victims of the Pulse massacre got their flag painted over as a warning to LGBT people.

So I found a small flag I got from the Leicester Pride event and wrote on it.


Then me and Dave, god bless him, went out in the dead of night and attached the Pride flag to the lamppost.


Went past the same lamppost today and the Pride flag was gone. I was disappointed but not surprised. I wonder what happened to it. Did anyone read the message?

London

I went to London and had a wonderful time, which I was very surprised about because it’s been a terrible week.


Tourists were literally queuing up to take pictures with the red phone boxes.

Big Ben, the London Eye and the South Bank is my favourite part of London.

The seagulls may look peaceful but we saw them getting into an animated fight over an eel plucked from the Thames.


We were in London to see The Hunchback of Notre Dame in concert, HOND being my favorite Disney film and the songs being among the most electrifying I’ve ever heard. Saw the actors entering the theater dressed as monks:

It was an amazing show. HUGE standing ovation at the end.

I don’t write in this journal quite as much anymore because I went back to my paper journal for a bit. I hadn’t written in it since 2014. It was nice to see it again. (It’s a VERY thick folder.)

My mental health has not been great since the job loss but to be honest I think the antipsychotics I’m on aren’t helping either. I just feel so utterly unmotivated all the time, and my attention span is shot. I can barely focus on anything longer than five minutes. I spend a lot of time on Twitter and it leaves me in utter and complete despair. The world is awful.

I asked for an autism assessment and they sent me the forms to get a child assessed, twice, which makes me feel just greaaaaat.

Lost my second job

I spent ten years with that company. TEN YEARS and all I got was a message in my inbox saying “We regret to inform your your contract has been terminated.” TEN YEARS. Everyone else was fired too, because we’re worth nothing to them. TEN YEARS of work. I can’t get over it. I’m so fucking angry and depressed.
