University lgbt center lore drop when?? (/lh)
im gonna be so real anon every time i think it cannot get worse it does!! but just one example: cis white gay director tries to make a ranked list of the most marginalized students on campus. puts black and brown students on the same line. and then adds christian students (not queer christians, just christians). guy who understands how marginalization works.
also when asked why the candidates for the new leadership position were all white (one of whom is his close friend from his old job at the student health center) he pointed to the one (1) latine person on the list and made some shrugging noises about “qualifications” 😑

Ok i did the math and all i gotta do to be solid for the end of my internship is put in an extra 6.5 hours a week for the next two weeks. That's doable that's achievable i can make it happen. That's just coming in 15min early and staying 30 min late, shortening lunches, and dropping in for a couple hours on the weekends. I can hit my hours I can do it.
And hopefully I'll have my car back this week so instead of relying on coworkers to carpool me around and having to arrive/leave on their schedules I can choose when I get to and leave work, especially on the weekends when nobody wants to come in.
(Obligatory post for the union folks: unions will not save me bc grad student workers don't count under like 90% of worker protections because our "employment" is actually a class that we're paying credit-hours to attend. I'm an intern not an employee, I'm paying for the privilege of a year of full time work. and I need to hit my hours minimums that are established by the (private) professional regulatory agency rather than federal or state law. Yes it sucks.)

WAIT WHERES MIM?!?! PLEASE TELL ME YOU’LL RELEASE THAT ONE AGAIN PLEASE
I need you guys to understand that the reason I took down my stuff was for my own peace of mind because they're my stories and i started feeling unsafe having them out because of how they - and I - were being treated.
absolutely nothing is wrong with mim and I love that fic and I care so much about it which is why - for my peace of mind - i want it to belong to only me rn. I know the fic was only out a month after i finished it and that really upsets me about taking it down. i want to reupload it because i know people like the fic and i love sharing my stuff but also there's that level of how much the fic matters to me and how much more devastating it makes it when people are cruel. and how much it hurts when I, as the creator of something, am treated like I don't matter at all and that my stuff can so easily be stolen or copied. like, it's an extension of me, yknow? You can't separate content and creator in such a small and intimate sphere as fandom. like, you guys all use my first name when referring to me, yknow?? there's that sense of connection. and since it's such an intimate space, having that trust be betrayed or disrespected is so much more potent than if we were in a large fandom with a lot of creators.
the fear of having MiM copied is really immense and real for me rn and i know that's potentially me being overly paranoid but considering the Amount of times this has started to happen - and how blatantly rude and nasty and entitled readers have been getting with me and other creators over the last year - it's definitely not out of the realm of possibility.
MiM wasn't written for readers, it was written for me. and i shared it because i wanted to and that was wonderful. but to have any of my stuff stepped on so much just doesn't make me feel very safe in this fandom space rn and makes it hard to let people have access to something that matters so much to me.
I'm not saying MiM has been deleted forever, I'm just saying i want some more time for it to be mine.
