how do we feel about hustle culture?

i just read a tweet (which i cannot find now thankfully) framing your choices as poverty or buying into that toxic culture.

hustle culture influencers make me irrationally angry because of how they're either unaware of or ignore their overwhelming survivor's bias.

I’m in my hippie era so maybe I’m not the best to answer. Hard work and hustle are different in my opinion. Nature has hard work but it doesn’t have hustle. Hard work is part of being. In nature beings are just that,, being, enjoying life and working hard to survive but not hustling (1/2)

Biomimicry, Design Justice, sci-fi, and a tsp of fantasy.

Surviving doesn’t mean wasting energy, e.g. most poisonous beings have colors, sounds or poses to deter attackers from attacking, they will use their poison as last resort because it costs them too much to make. Hustling to me would be them attacking regardless and struggling later (2/2).

appreciate this, i am a hippie trapped in a girlbosses body tbh
