Hello staff why are you shortening my posts when I have that turned OFF
Yeah quiet quitting is great and all but have you tried chaotic working?
Like. I remember back in my grocery store cashier days I did so much crazy shit.
When WIC (Women, infants, and children voucher program to help low income mothers/families with children) people were in my line I would pretty much know who they were. Before the cards they had to tell us upfront they were WIC and show us their vouchers for what they were allowed to get (it was awful some times. Like. 2 gallons of milk. $4 worth of vegetables etc etc). Theyβd always have items hanging back, waiting to see what the total was and if they would have to take it off the belt.
I began to place the fruits/vegetables a certain way on the register scale so that like 1/2lbs of grapes read as like .28lbs or something. Then act shocked when I said that they still had X amount of lbs left. They got all their fruit and vegetables.
I think it started to kinda? Catch on to the women? Because I would have the same moms in my line month after month. And even after they switched to the cards (they worked like food stamp cards?) Iβd still do the same thing. They were able to get more produce for whatever shitty max amount Indiana gave them.
Anyways. Be chaotic. Itβs more fun that way.
im a man when its funny im a woman when its funny and when nothing is funny i drop to all fours and maul you like a wolf
It really is hard to fight the feeling of being left behind. For whatever reason, really. Poverty, lack of family, trauma, mental illness and lack of medication, or just plain not being ready yet. And it's so easy to feel like a bad person when you're bitter about it.
I'm texting my friend who still lives with his dad and has never had a job. He just told me he filled in for his brother as a film tech for one day and got offered a job in LA making triple what I make working both my jobs combined.
I'm texting my friend currently on the other side of the world because they were able to afford college, and the school they go to offered to pay for a trip to a country they always wanted to visit.
I'm texting my friend who's about to move to Japan just for the hell of it so he can learn the language and culture. His grandparents are paying for it.
I'm watching two of my friends take off in the music production industry with equipment in their bedrooms.
And it's hard to cheer for them, watching them do things I still dream of doing one day, once my bills stop taking such a huge chunk of my income and I've healed enough from things I've been through. But I do. I want them to succeed. I'm proud to know my friends, who definitely deserve all these good things, are doing well and are being offered the opportunity to be happy and well off.
Please remember that despite this, it's normal to feel bitter. It's normal to feel jealous, sad, and angry even. It doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't make you a bad friend. What matters is that you keep trying anyway, keep encouraging your peers, and you remember that you're only ever going to get where you want to be at your own pace.
I can only hope that when - when - I do achieve my goals, that the time I took will provide me with ideas and experience that will be completely unique to me, and make my craft better for it.
I know it'll happen for you, too.
PSA that has been given 100 times already but needs to be said again:
The reason you, gen Z queers, need to be kink positive isn't because you support those kinks. It is okay to be disgusted by them, actually.
The reason you need to support kinksters is because "these kinks are disgusting" is the framework the alt-right is using and will continue to use to outlaw you. They don't think you're any different from the guys at Pride in leather puppy suits. They think your ENTIRE EXISTENCE is sexual. They think you holding hands with someone of the same gender, or existing as a trans person at all, is the same as a straight couple playing tonsil hockey in public.
YOU ARE A FETISH TO THEM. That is all you will ever be to the alt-right. They will never see you as human. When they talk about "our children being exposed to sexual perversion" they don't mean BDSM like you think they do. They mean YOU.
The only way to preserve your own existence is to fight for the right of kink to exist, because the instant kink becomes taboo or outlawed again*, rest assured, the alt-right will become MUCH more transparent about just what they think about your existence.
When you harp on about disgusting kinks and how they need to be hidden or outlawed and how they're harmful and everyone who does them is (insert thing here), you are giving the alt-right the tools they will use to imprison you as soon as they have unchecked power to do so.
THAT is why kinksters have been part of the queer community, part of Pride, from the start. Because the only way to keep our community safe is by truly ensuring everyone has unlimited sexual autonomy so long as the activity is taking place between consenting adults. It's just like how abortion-related laws are the lynchpin for all manner of medical autonomy laws.
The queer community can't stand without kinksters and vice versa. Even if you yourself aren't a kinkster and find them disgusting, like it or not, that is just how it is.
*Sodomy was illegal in Texas until 2003 and the law is still on the books, just not allowed to be enforced thanks to Lawrence v Texas, which SCOTUS has said they have an interest in striking down
YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA HOW MAD I AM THAT I FORGOT MY HEADPHONES AT HOME
