#im about to snap about my job #people keep pushing shit on me without as much as asking me first so im fully taken off guard by these new responsibilities im being given #and im pretty sure my temporary supervisor is subtly homophobic and/or transphobic and/or possibly racist #cos she keeps misgendering me on top of listing these new policies she wants to enact that seem pretty bigoted (from a minority perspective)#like she wants our offices to be decently plain #meaning she will likely want me to remove my rainbow flags and the numerous reminders of my pronouns and that its a safe space #as well as my coworkers blm flag and girl power painting #she even wants us to dress professionally all the time (which is not possible for my disabled ass)#and that comment came about after i noticed her looking closely at my sylvia rivera 'we have to be visible' pride shirt #not to mention she made a big deal today about me asking our clients for their pronouns on our client forms #its ridiculous especially after all the horrible shit i went through with my past supervisor and coworker #im planning on emailing her first thing tomorrow morning about the misgendering so we will see how that goes #on a happier note my girlfriend and i played escape from the aliens in outer space (one of the board games we bought yesterday) tonight #and it was lots of fun #anyway i like this prompt a lot because it subverts the ideas we tend to hold of 'funerals'#at least from the perspective of someone raised in an american christian household #i like the idea of a 'funeral' being a genuine celebration of someones life #and the colour 'yellow' feels very celebratory to me #so i think thats the direction im going to go with this prompt #thanks for reading #writing #writer #creative writing #writing prompt #writeblr #trying to be a writeblr at least
