I have done something very silly in the past 2 and a half days... I can't wait to share it with you! :)

There was a day off so more people came in the building to enjoy their time, u know, normal behavior. It’s a bunch of small studio apartments with tile floors, windows are opened because it’s hot, you can hear people walking and talking, normal again. My boyfriend doesn't like this, so the past few days he’s been having the longest toddler tantrum about it. Walking hard on his heels, blasting tv he doesn't watch at 2am, vacuuming loudly and throwing the vacuum around for extra noise, slamming the chairs randomly, yelling random rap lyrics etc

you’re in your 50s for crying out loud either go talk to them or shut the fuck up

got the tldr of the vid that I'm Not Watching All That & somewhat amusing how the straw breaking the camel's back for people over James Somerton is his blatant and unashamed plagiarism (as it should be genuinely i don't think you can nor should recover from this) like he hasn't regurgitated for years vile, unempathetic, ahistorical and Purely Just Wrong information about gay history including about the fight for legal same-sex marriage in the US and the AIDS crisis. like an alarming amount of people truly heard his ass say "all the good fun funky artistic and radical gays died of aids and all those who were left were unfun stuck-up prudes and conservatives also the fight for legal same-sex marriage was an assimilationist ploy by the latter who just wanted big gay weddings" as if the gay men who survived the epidemic didn't literally lose lovers and friends and entire communities and long-term partners who they shared a life with and who were denied any crumb of this previous life at their death because there was no legal recognition for same-sex cohabitation and unions and their homophobic family could tear everything from the surviving partner thanks to this lack of recognition and let it slide.

some people out there were truly so eager to shit on the boring assimilationist prude gays who survived aids by being stuck-up prudes and who just wanted "big gay weddings" they made up in their minds to get mad at that they turned their brains off and let it slide. they could've used their smoothed-out brains for ONE minute & found out that surviving took 1) plain boring luck and 2) radical, loud, proud gay activists campaigning for safe/safer sex and the information campaigns they led, as well as the protests and demonstrations they undertook to make the government fucking care for once. and that legally-recognized unions [be they civil or religious] were a matter of survival for the partner left behind. some people out there truly let a business major with a turtleneck (possibly the definition of boring) passing himself off as cool and radical and an intellectual tell them homophobic bullshit. and did not blink. like OF COURSE this guy's gonna be a plagiarist. he needs to get his information from SOMEWHERE. because when he tries to formulate his own stuff it's complete fabrications or the frankensteining of multiple sources that he manages to misunderstand/misrepresent threefold over. trying to fit a knit sock over the foot with the inside out and wonder why that itches.

i know many people in his audience are likely very young and also likely american and as such did most of their growing up in a world where their country (1 out of 195. give or take.) had legalized gay marriage but i cannot even begin to describe 1) how Young legalized gay wedding is, even in ""the west"" and 2) how many. other countries there are. my country legalized same-sex marriage before the US did. i am not even 25 and i still remember the hordes of catholics marching down the streets chanting homophobic slogans, implying the only reason two mommies or two daddies would want to raise a child together is for nefarious, vile purposes. i still remember families having to drag their asses into court to argue that, yes, a woman who raised a child for its whole life with another woman she's in a long-term committed cohabitated relationship with should have the right to be considered a direct guardian even if she's not biologically related to the child, and spending thousands of bucks having to argue their case in court. this might be shocking to some, but there are countries where homosexuality is punishable by death. in others, not by death, but by imprisonment. in others, not by imprisonment, but by ""medical intervention"". in others, not by ""medical intervention" but by fines. and in some others still, you can be gay (yay!) but you still cannot get married or civil-unioned, and the very same shit that was discussed in the 80s is still discussed now. the right to stay a guardian of your partner's child if your partner dies or is ill, so the kid does not go into foster care. the right to inherit your partner's property according to married rights instead of having through long annoying time- and money-consuming legal processes. the right to arrange your partner's funeral or have a say in their medical choices if they're incapacitated instead of their (potentially homophobic) families.

like We Are Not There Yet. we are not in a world where any homosexual can truly, fully, wholeheartedly assimilate, whether you consider it a good thing or not. fun gay artists and boring uninteresting gay office workers die the same death that we all do. the one you don't wake from. and guess what. all types of homosexuals, regardless of which ones you pick and choose to be mad at, are affected by homophobic legislation. not just the ones you think should be spared because they're oh so fun. and oh so radical.

donate to the rainbow railroad org if you can. they help LGBT+ people escape state-sponsored violence. a singular nail on one of their members' hand does more activism and real-life good than any mfer making video essays could do in his entire life.

this fucking. horrible little orange creamsicle man. he’s been hanging out on the front porch and the windowsill next to the front porch most of the day (annoying but whatever) but has figured out, i think using the tree overhanging the balcony, how to get to the window next to the cat tree and onto the balcony, full of so so so many pots of beautiful soft dirt to piss in. mack was screeching and growling at him from the cat tree, phil was screeching and growling at him through the balcony sliding glass door, all he did was writhe around on the concrete. i had to shake a broom at him to get him to fuck off and im still not exactly sure how he got down. and im mad about this bc i want him to be semi friendly so when my friend is ready i can simply Scoop. and the only way to get him neutered for free before fuckin mid-march is to talk to the apartment owner and start TNR’ing these creatures. i don’t want to be in charge of these cats! i am not a huge fan of TNR! i dont want to put down perfectly fine cats either but there are so many awful things that can happen to a cat outside (eg whatever the fuck happened to Phil) and most of the time i think it’s kinder to give something a quick, painless, dignified death instead of being mauled or run over or getting stuck somewhere and becoming a little cat mummy

I feel like a little mouse in a lab doing these assessments and IQ puzzles over and over again. Sometimes literally the same puzzles if it's for a different position in the same company I applied before. And regardless, for reasons unknown, the red light keeps buzzing. Rejected. Rejected. We will not be moving forward with your application at this time. Rejected. We are not able to provide personal feedback or reason about this decision. Rejected. I hit delete without reading the e-mail the moment I see a "thank you" - they never thank you if they want to move forward with you. Rejected.

Is it because I'm underqualified? Is it because the little rat flunked the test? Is it because of my nationality, my work visa or lack thereof, because of my location? Is it because the job listing was for a specific person all along?

No matter. Bzzt goes the red light. Thank you for your interest.

Rejected.
