If any of y’all didn’t know, there’s a free online library, aka

https://openlibrary.org/

and I found like, twelve ebooks I’ve been wanting to read on there, and blasted through like three of them during the course of a boring-ass shift.

[O]ne thing that has helped me weed out a lot of companies that later turned out to be toxic is to ask much more specific, STAR type questions of the interviewers: -What is your leadership philosophy? What do you think a good leader should do for their team? What is your preferred communication style? How often do you have one-on-ones with your employees? (I listen to see if this aligns with how I like to be managed) -Can you describe your best employee, what does she do that makes her so successful? (red flag: she works really hard and never calls out, always goes the extra mile for me) -What personality traits would make someone NOT do well here? (I’ve literally heard ‘easily offended’ as an answer to this one – RED FLAG) -How does the team manage emergencies? (I’m looking for ‘we help each other out’ without verging into ‘like a family’ territory) -How many hours a week do you usually work? Does your team usually work? (try to get specifics here) -Do employees hang out with each other outside of work? Do you have lots of pot luck type events? -What happens when someone makes a mistake?

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it forever and ever, if all of the people who call themselves anarchists/communists/radicals/etc spent like an hour a week working with a local mutual aid group or doing some other kind of direct action, we'd live in a very different world

We have the numbers. Summer 2020 proved that. Now it's just a matter of doing the work

I feel like part of what’s kinda wild to me about the weird “born in the wrong generation but in an alternative 80s punk goth queer way” crowd that idolizes this nonexistent 80s that was like a goth alt GNC queer safehaven is that without fail every time I actually talk to older goths or other older alt people or even just older queer or nonwhite people who were actually there in the 80s they’re IMMEDIATELY like “oh you were NOT missing out hahaha.” Like at best the coolest things they’ll talk about is getting to see some OG alt bands live in their prime or getting to see a cool movie in theatres, that IS genuinely cool, like major jealousy to anyone who got to actually witness Skinny Puppy or Ministry live in the 80s ykwim, but literally ALL of these people will then immediately start talking about how much people sucked, how much mainstream culture sucked, etc. It was literally Reagan-era AIDS crisis. Dystopian literature took off for a reason. Racism was a massive society-wide issue. War on drugs was in full swing. Even just the insanely racialized pushback against disco during that time is of note tbh. Massive brand commercialization was getting worse and worse. Whenever I talk to gay people from that era they express so much relief about how much the world has improved since then. I was talking to an older woman in her 50s who’s been in the goth scene since the 80s who was saying that back in the day if she went out dressed in her goth clothes she was called a faggot on the street. I remember her jokingly being like “well at least they were saying it to me and not actual gay people I guess haha…” There are aspects of 80s culture, especially 80s subculture and counterculture, that I really really enjoy, obviously, and certain sentiments surrounding big art trends of the time that I love, but it’s just kind of ridiculous to me that YEARS after collectively mercilessly mocking the trend of white girls saying they miss the 50s while ignoring the fact that Stonewall and the civil rights movement hadn’t happened yet, no-fault divorce didn’t exist, and lobotomies were still acceptable, I’m seeing posts nearly daily on this site that are like “well if I had been born in the 80s art would be good and music would be good and there’d be a queer alt community for me, but instead I was born in the tiktok poser generation 💔” like girl I’m sorry but you ARE the tiktok poser. Get offline and go FIND your community. Your issue is not that you were born in the wrong generation, you literally just do not know how to find modern underground subculture. Because it is underground.

Being a disabled cosplayer I've had some very jarring interactions at conventions. Actually every single day people make remarks, say slurs, look at disabled people with petty. Say they hope your well soon, refuse to believe you can be disabled do young, tell you to try a new diet.

So first off:

Cripple is a slur reclaimed by disabled people, don't say it otherwise

Gimp is a slur reclaimed by disabled people don't say it otherwise

Stop trying to push people's wheelchairs unless they ask you too.

Telling me to go gluten free with not make my disability go away

So funfact at a convention earlier this year I went to cosplay and disability panel. I was actually really excited for it, and it was great. Later that day a person I didn't know called me a gimp. Someone gad to give up their seat to me, because I was on forearm crutches. The woman I ended up seated besides said. "Oh, doesn't it suck being a gimp right?" And I was just confused, my immediate reaction was to say. "Oh your disabled too!" And then she told me no she wasn't and she just felt bad for me because clearly it sucked being unable to stand without help. It took me a few days to process the fact she said a slur so casually.

Concept. Black is clean. Black is holy. Black has done more for this world than you ever will.

Concept. A woman does not owe you. You do not own women. I am my own fucking woman. 

Concept. I died once. I fuckin died and I didn’t notice. I zombified and became nothing. I’m just not.
