*vomits from frustration over a customer wanting me to change 30+ things about a commission AFTER we went through all stages and I only needed them to decide on a background color...*

Sketch of something I plan to work on for more than 20 minutes. Really needed some personal art as a pick-me-up after this fiasco.

I wanna thank my irl friends who follow me here and also my beloved mutuals as well as followers who still send me kind messages and try to interact with me and my stuff even if I'm bad at doing it myself.

Honestly, things haven't been that great with me lately, so... it means a lot to me. Honestly. <3

Since taking part in the Tsaritsa’s service, Tartaglia is quite adamantly against being called ‘Ajax’. The name reminds him too much of the person his parents still mourn and wish he was, plus it really doesn’t suit him as much anymore, with the way he’s making his own name for himself. Tartaglia is his preferred form of address, Childe the second. But never Ajax.

So neat recognizing clear trauma responses in my employees’ behavior. Each different one. So neat and fun and cool. And I hope that he can heal now that he’s not up against what was clearly a very stressful and triggering experience from the start. So fun.

Okay so this has been on my mind for a while, and I really want to talk about it.

I was struggling to get ~mysterious things happening with my body~ diagnosed for a while. And I did (yay!). And it turns out, the treatment is an estrogen supplement.

But I didn't even need a diagnosis before I got that prescribed to me. I walked in, told the doctor the issue, did some labs and she got me a referral and a prescription within a week.

And the specialist spent a decent amount of time talking with me about the various ways I could take estrogen instead of my current method. Including HRT.

No scare tactics, just "you need this, here's how to take it properly, call me if you notice xyz." That's it.

And just...I can't help but be upset that it isn't that simple for trans people. HRT is lifesaving. Trans people should be able to walk in, get a diagnosis (not like a "you are trans" diagnosis, bc thats sketchy historically and now, but something that can let them get hormones), and walk out with a prescription. I'm not kidding, I'm not exaggerating.

It's so awful that medications and treatments that are proven to save lives are locked to any of the people whose lives they save.

very strange getting a message from the mom of a current student of my middle-school-teacher-turned-friend who is organizing a little retirement gift for her. like. yes I do know she's retiring. we spent the better part of two hours on thursday talking about it over margaritas and mexican food. of course I'd be happy to write a short message to put in a little book of messages from former students but also please know that it's going to be filled with references you won't understand and I will be addressing her by her first name.

So, Target has decided to fire employees who purchase a Stanley cup. Yeah the same Stanley cups that have lead in them. Target's reasoning is that they violated a policy which doesn't allow employees to gain an "unfair advantage" over customers when it comes to purchasing limited items. Managers' reasoning for allowing employees to buy the cup is that it's a cup and why on Earth should people not be allowed to buy them. My opinion is scalping is bad and a problem that needs to be better addressed by companies. The solution is not to fire employees for buying limited items, even if they put one to the side for themselves to purchase after work. I think a much better solution is one we already use, which is the good old fashioned purchase limit paired with not making only like 1 of something per every hundred of people wanting it. You want to buy a few? Sure, maybe you're buying the others for friends or family or something who also like the thing. You want to buy 10? 50? The entire stock on display and all in the back? Absolutely not, sir madam or other.

Also if you're a Target employee who got fired, definitely make sure to file for unemployment and have the state investigate for unlawful termination. It might not be considered as such because it was a stupid policy but still a policy, but might as well find out and have them go after Target if it is. (And no, "at-will" does not mean that an employer can fire you for absolutely any reason. They just want you to think that so you don't bother to track conversations in written (text/e-mail/etc) form and have state labor departments investigate when you get fired and are applying for unemployment.)
