The reason some of you keep smacking into a wall when you very lazily treat misogynior and transphobia as one and the same thing is because something being linked doesn't mean interchangeable, and when you try to talk to the average Black woman not on social media she thinks you're crazy when you talk about Black womanhood like gender dysphoria because those experiences simply aren't identical. I know Black people on twitter swear it really is so but trans Black people aren't being kicked out their childhood homes because there's kinship.

Its like some of you are back flipping over the part that Black women are and were characterised as masculine, beastly and aggressive to excuse chattel slavery and the mass rape of enslaved Black people but because little white trans you wanted to find a way to make slavery about you by hiding behind solidarity so now we're rewriting history and saying racism wasn't racism and it was transphobia so white you is included. The fact people do not talk about white supremacy as the cause so everyone can feel included is fucking crazy. white trans people are far too comfortable using the suffering of Black women as a piggy back to talk about the main show: themselves. Some of you saw that gender is used against trans people and Black people and then turned your brain off.

No really, white trans people are far too comfortable bringing up the legacy of slavery because when you bring up Black women being seen as aggressive and masculine that's what you're doing to talk their gender dysphoria. The reason why Black women are seen as masculine is literally slavery and you're a white

An object you own - enslaved Black people - couldn't be seen as gentle when you're planning to use those objects to work to death on a sugar plantation. Its not complicated. We couldn't be people and property so we needed to be smeared

romantic attraction wants you to feel it so badly. bc why am i out here being like, "man i keep daydreaming about a relationship with this person, maybe i Am romantically attracted to them." meanwhile the daydream is that he's closeted so i can't tell anybody about it and we meet up like once a week and that's it. yeah classic normative romantic attraction

once again i am being subjected to "educational courses on generative AI" (lengthy advertisements that the higher ups want us to watch so they can say that we are trained in AI)

It's so funny how most of the time when someone asks me my favourite movie and i tell them it's Atonement, they have never even heard of it. And by funny i mean it makes me want to scream for hours but I'm so used to it now that i just kinda accept it.

(my class today is from 1-5 PM...i can't wait for the professor to talk about human development and educational psychology while ignoring the fact that a four-hour traditional lecture maybe isn't the best pedagogical approach).

Before I go to bed I'm gonna bring you my hot warframe take: "end game" the way most people understand it doesn't work for warframe so I genuinely wish DE would focus more on quest/story content or events...

like literally the masses need distractions between grinds and different gimmick events based on seasons and celebrations where you can't use your full warframe arsenal (think Dog Days) would be a good distraction and give that illusion of "difficulty" (a lot of people liked Drifter segments during TNW because you weren't as OP so... maybe Duviri will bring us that idk)

[financeprincess]

“high value men” “feminine energy” “dark feminine” “wife material” “hypergamy” “providers” “rotational dating”

blah blah blah blah blah whatever. It’s a farce. I knew this day would come when feminine level up content would become derivative and soulless and full of opportunists using buzzwords trying to sell courses.

All I can say is keep centering yourself every single day, get your bag, get your education, network, workout, eat healthy, sleep right, rest as much as you can, get your water intake up, get your skincare on, whiten your teeth, only let men near you who benefit you (note I didn’t say sleep with!), pay off your high interest debt, get your investments up, and cut out all the bullshit and noise. don’t even worry about “how to get a husband” “how to dress like old money” because honestly, that stuff will come naturally when you don’t have to fake it anyway. Do you really think actual “high value” (I don’t like this terminology) women are stressed about finding a husband? Do you think actual wealthy people care about appearing wealthy to others? Just get after it and you won’t have to worry about faking it at all. It will all come naturally.

One thing I will never understand is why most mdzs fans are so pressed about Jin Guangyao. I understand disliking him if you’re a huge fan of the canon characters he’s hurt, but so many of the people who hate him are only here for wangxian. And like wtf did he do to wangxian? To me, his biggest offense is killing Nie Mingjue who was literally already dying. But if you see any discussion online from people who don’t like him it’s only about how he married his sister. And it drives me insane.

Lemme spell it out (I say arguing with the wall)

1) When he is introduced to Qin Su he has no idea and accepts the engagement because it's expected of him to marry.

2) His father is a horrible abusive man.

3) Jin Guangyao sleeps with her once for the sake of propriety before he knows.

4) He finds out right before the wedding meaning that calling it off would be suspicious.

5) If he called out his father the best that would happen is him getting thrown out and losing everything he’s worked towards and the worst is his father killing him and Qin Su and even maybe her mother.

6) He never touches her again.

Whether MXTX meant it or not Meng Yao’s struggle is a foil to Wei Wuxian’s. This idea of severe classism controlling who gets to survive and prosper in this world is integral to the story. Wei Wuxian is lucky because he happened to be brought into a sect due to connections he had before his birth. Meng Yao isn’t so lucky. His mother being a sex worker is crucial to his whole story. Because of his mother Meng Yao suffers from this anti-sexwork rhetoric and I don’t say this lightly but a lot of his struggles in life are rooted in the misogyny towards his mother. So when people pick on him for marrying his sister— something he was forced into— and mock him for it… it feels tone-deaf. It’s similar to the way real-life misogyny effects the way people hate Madame Yu, but that’s a whole other can of worms.

To be clear it is not misogynistic to dislike Jin Guangyao that would be a crazy thing to say. It’s the way people go about it. When factors of his birth, his mother, and classism, in general, get mixed in, is when the conversation goes sour.

Jin Guangyao’s actions are not excused because his life was hard but neither are Wei Wuxian’s. People get so wrapped up in the POV of the novel they forget it’s biased. If the story were from Jin Guangyao’s POV I bet people would not loathe him to this extent. Which is so frustrating. Blah Blah Blah reading comprehension buzzword.

I really would encourage everyone to do a mindfulness check before you post about your problematic blorbo and do a proofread for disclaimers and excuses.

ie: "Yeah they're terrible but I like them!" or "It's canon!" or "[misc discourse buzzword gotchas about fiction not being reality, blah blah]"

Just don't! You don't need to! It isn't necessary!

What if we were surrounded by people who didn't constantly assume the worst of us and didn't assume we endorsed the wrongdoings of a fictional character? What if we didn't feel the need to self-censor to appease conservatives?

Blunting every post you share, everything you lovingly create, every silly thing you have to say with a moral disclaimer is an affirmation that there is a moral deficit and adds to the stigma about liking dark fiction. What if we were unapologetic because there's nothing to apologize for?

And you know what? The people you're trying to please do not fucking care lmao. It's not going to change their minds. They're going to think you're a scumbag anyway so why are we wasting time trying to gain their favor?

So don't pollute your posts with it, don't take attention away from your art and your fics, don't try to fill a quota for how often every month you apologize for your interests, because all it does is start a negative conversation around something that's really boring and takes attention away from the thing you're actually trying to say!!! You're allowed to be proud of your fanfic and artwork and meta and silly memes and fun lil ideas and you don't need to invite discourse every fucking time!!!!!

Lookism... working actual jobs + contributing to society

Hey listen up troublemakers! Your days of terrorising the community is over. These guys have aged out of crews and shit and are forced to actually work and contribute to society like the rest of us losers

Eli Jang: Lord bless this man with a rich and wealthy partner so he can be a stay at home dad. His hairdressing skills are going nowhere fast and being feral isn't really a useful life skill.

Johan Seong: owns a dog rescue, doesn't let anyone adopt them. They're all his babies. It completely defeats the purpose.

Jake Kim: great leader, inspires loyalty and passion. Would do far better than his dad as an actual politician, but he leads grass root organisations instead to improve the neighbourhood. Keeps things simple after Big Deal, but can't help but be a natural leader.

Samuel Seo: did a pretty good job as president of 3rd and 4th Affiliate before it all went to shit, let him be CEO. It's the profession with the most psychopaths afterall. Might have a meltdown similar to Elon and burn the company to the ground (but literally).

Eugene: business consultant. management consultant. some sort of corporate consultant. Days filled with buzzwords and powerpoints. Disrupting the industry and growth hacking blah blah. Posts shit on LinkedIn all the time.

Gun Park: will forever be a menace to society. Likely start a real life Fight Club. Has an arrest warrant out not for assault, but causing public damage during his fights and on the run from police.

Goo Kim: ultimate girlboss. Silver tongued and charming when he wants to be. Has the most profitable pyramid scheme this side of South Korea.

Just so people in other areas are aware. The average every day conservatives are on the same page as the rest of us regarding the death of that CEO guy. Not speaking for all of them, but they get fucked by health care too and they are done. Idk why Fox News is so tone-deff about their own viewers' opinions, as well as like all the other news sources about this issue in regards to pointing the blame on conservatives. But I did want to get some thoughts out there.

This is not a political issue. What health insurance companies are doing as a human rights issue that affects everyone in the lower classes. Just because the upper-class conservatives are upset doesn't mean that all conservatives are upset. Yeah, crypto bros, nft dweebs, and AI idiots are corporate conservatives (typically) are included in the upper-class equation. The upper class, generally, is pretty vocal about silencing this issue. Because they feel threatened.

Don't let the media or social media make y'all think that this is political when its not. Don't let the media and social media distract you from one of the biggest problems in America. Sorry, but identity politics (blah blah buzzword used to talk about the issues of minorities I know. Sorry. Minorities of all sorts deserve human rights, don't come for me when that's not what I'm talking about) and other such things only affect a small number of us when health care affects ALL of us. Quite literally. It's more helpful to EVERY cause if the health care is actually helpful to us instead of something we buy into at major costs only for nothing to be done because treatment for this, that, and the other thing is "not medically necessary". We need to remember that the most important things we can do helps everyone Things like inflation going down, the economy getting better, better education, AND better healthcare all help out everyone. No matter who they are. And while I personally am favorable twards trans rights for obvious reasons (but yes, other issues too that I won't get into here), I feel that if we can solve other major issues first, then we can get to the other issues later.

The only reason this is political at all is because the government makes money when we're sick and injured through pharmaceutical companies.

(obligatory killing people is bad and I don't want people to die but I am frustrated that peace has gotten us nowhere with the health care crisis going on and I just desperately want change)

(I will not be censored but god damn do I not want to be arrested for something I said on the internet if shit goes south)

[secular-jew]

Maybe I'm dumb and missed something but "You were too much of a coward to post the source" Isn't the source literally in the fucking picture? Like, right underneath the population increase there's literally a source listed? (inb4: But you can't click it." Yeah I can't fucking click the sources in physical papers either, some don't even link the books in online papers.)

Also... bonus side note, any population count is gonna be considered an estimate unless you'd literally be able to count each person, birth and death. Estimate is because you can never be 100% certain, but the estimate goes based on the most available trends. Also, please note that 2.02% is a pretty significant increase during war time, or honestly any population, if you consider how many countries have downward trends. Just because the % isn't a huge number, doesn't mean it isn't a significant increase.

About the genocide thing, from my educational understanding, genocide always happens with the intent to eradicate an entire genetic branch. That isn't going on in Gaza. I think someone once worded it like so "Genocide is bureaucracy." basically you know it's going on because it'll be written down and the people in power will it, it'll be an "open" secret. Nobody "accidentally" does a genocide. War is not a genocide. Blah blah blah, genocide isn't some stupid buzzword for soggy leftists to throw around when their (actually) genocidal death cult is losing.

There's neither genocide not apartheid, two of the common terms thrown around by the global intifada that seeks to eventually dominate the west through demographic jihad.

Mobs always speak in robotic slogans.

Meanwhile, Arab petro dollars are funding Islamic Jihad globally, and the West, dependent on Arab oil, is importing full-price jihadists (acting as students) into every university, as these Middle East potentates are generously funding these schools.

Turns out, gaslighting works at zombie-izing entire population groups who aren't historically savvy and don't seem to have any ability to discern. The Islamist mob is savvy at enlisting immature students into their "protests" and the universities put up with it under the cover of "tolerance," because they fear losing their petro-funding gravy trains.

The millions of Islamist trolls (who sympathize with Islam), perpetuate the lies without a second thought.

The ICC is heavily influenced by Islamist propaganda and Islamist members.

[fuck-customers]

Sorry in advance. This one is gonna be REAL long and vent-y.

So I currently have a retail job that I've been at for 4 years. I'll be honestly, it's never been a great job and since it's retail, I obviously never intended to stay there forever. Honestly, I've stayed there longer than I intended to, due to a lot of disasters in my personal life. (legal battles, house fire, homelessness) And because it was easier to just stay at a job that I already had and was already established and trained and knew the drill vs. going through these personal disasters at a new job, trying to give a good impression and perform well while hiding the fact that I'm miserable and going through a lot of difficulties that I do not want to bring into work/have bosses or coworkers be aware of. (I feel very hesitant to share any personal info at work, because I worry that any shared info not work-related can be used against me, in minor and major ways. But perhaps I'm being unnecessarily paranoid.)

However, after all this time of me dragging my feet, it is unfortunately clear to me that I am going to have to get another job. My job was always part-time (with a promise that was a lie about being promoted to full-time with good performance) but now my hours have majorly decreased from 12-30 hours per week when I was first hired, to now getting 3-6 hours EVERY OTHER WEEK.

So now I have begrudgingly resigned myself to accept the fact that I need to apply for jobs. I'm terrified. I've accepted it, but I'm terrified.

I don't have very much work experience. I had a seasonal job before my current job (3 months) and I've been at my current job for (a bit over) 4 years, which looks good because it shows loyalty, commitment, blah, blah, blah. But that's IT. 2 jobs. No degree or license or qualifications. I was in a few clubs in high school, but I'm too old to be listing my high school achievements. I can't afford college. And I know that a lot of job applications have auto-delete programs that will just trash an application if it doesn't have the correct buzzwords...but how am I supposed to know the correct buzzwords? I've also heard about ghost listings where companies post job listings they never intend to fill so they get a tax write off or whatever. (Idk if this is true, but the idea is enough to terrify me) I also have a hearing disability and I suspect (but am undiagnosed) that I have a learning/neurological disability, possibly ADHD or mild autism.

So there's ALL THAT weighing on my mind. And then on top of all of that, I'm scared out of my mind about my own personal situation.

I figure I can probably fake it well enough for the first week or so, maybe the first month if I'm really crafty and lucky (I figure I can get through the application process by listing my P.O. box as an address without putting that it's a P.O. box. And I have a lot of clothes from before becoming homeless that I can change into so I'm not constantly wearing the same clothes) but eventually people at this hypothetical new job will figure out that I live in a car (I can change my outfits and use dry shampoo on my hair, but trust me, from experience I know that I can really only go about a week and a half without a proper shower before it becomes very noticeable, no matter how much dry shampoo I use. I am a female woman with medium-length hair, for perspective) and will treat me differently and disrespect me and treat me as less than human. Or possibly take advantage of me, shoving extra work on me because I "need the money" and making me a scapegoat. Or worse, firing me. Sure, it's illegal (I think) but if they really want you gone, they can find any minor mistake you have made (and being new at a job, I will likely make a few) and use that as an excuse to fire me. Or lay me off due to "budget cuts" or some bullshit. If they want you gone, they can make it happen.

But most importantly, I don't feel good about myself. I've never had particularly high self-esteem, but in past interviews, I was able to list positive traits of mine and spin the less positive ones in a good light.

But now I don't even remember a positive thing about me. It doesn't help that my mother (whose car I live in) puts me down every chance she gets. Every day, she calls me a loser with a dead-end job and tells me I need to get a new job, without listening to what I tell her I need from her to do so. (She doesn't have a job, but of course that's not a problem) For example, I do not have word on my laptop. I need to go somewhere (library? the paperclips store? Unfortunately the work network place in my area that used to help with job applications, resumes, etc shut down) to use a computer with word to update my resume, as the one I have on my computer does not have my current job. (I tried to use the online version...what a nightmare. Also, sure there ARE resume websites where you can use their templates and make your resume....for a price. Usually $50+ that I can't afford for something I will use exactly once.) She refuses to help, even though I think her laptop has word, but I am not certain, and instead just repeats the same things over and over like a broken record. "You need to get a better job." "You're going to die a loser at a dead-end job if you don't quit." "You need to get a full-time job." (Sidenote: she herself has not even glanced at job listings. There are NO full-time jobs available, unless you are a licensed professional, a doctor, nurse, teacher, etc.)

But despite all of that, I need a new job. I held our for the holidays, thinking with the holiday rush, I'd get more hours and I could use that to keep me afloat while looking for a new job in the new year. Well. Our hours continually got CUT during the holidays and I suspect the store may go out of business and I do not want to still work there when it does. (Even though I would LOVE to watch it burn) The harsh reality is that I need a new job. I just have absolutely no faith that I can find anything much better than my current job. I expect the most I'll find is part-time of 20-30 hours per week, which is still better than 3-6 every other week, but I truly need a full-time job. Which will not happen.
