thinking about how a few years ago, i was recommended for this conservative political office job around here that would've paid life-changing salary to me but i was & still am too principled to accept something like that. wasn't just 'oh my boss is a repub but the job has nothing to do w his beliefs' i wouldve been voluntarily contributing to local campaign material and that flies in the face of everything i strive towards ...

#it's like when ppl insist they HAVE to join the military to pay for college #but yeah that whole job recruiting process was inch resting bc it was an old joann coworker who recommended me cuz of my work ethic #and i had a phone interview w the head of the office and it was the most uncomfortable thing ever cuz she buried the lede and was like 'jsyk #weve had a lot of ppl walk out cuz im conservative but i need an assistant rly badly' and i was like uhhhhhhh #(was trying not to freak out and navigate rejecting the offer as professionally as possible)#shes like 'im not radical i just dont believe in teaching the sex stuff to little kids' and in my head i was like OH ur one of THOSE who #prob thinks puberty education and anti-homophobia/transphobia initiatives are all grooming 😭#i was so mad i was like damn imagine if i were a stacey dash omarosa just pearly things type shameless grifter 💀
