exciting news! after 3 weeks of jumping through hoops and absolutely CRUSHING an interview, I got offered a job!!
even better news! I got to experience time travel!! I got yeeted back to the bad old days of when I first started my career and employee rights were at an all-time low, by being offered one of the worst, most exploitative contracts I've possibly ever seen. (And with my work history, that's saying A LOT).
(I turned it down. cos I value myself as at least a human being on the most basic level. so yaaaaay still unemployed).
#it was for a customer service and sales role in a veterinary software company#the founder claims she prioritises veterinarian applicants to help them when they are desperate to transition out of clinical practice#it's clear she actually does it to prey on their desperation to escape a bad situation before adding to The Statistics#and because vets are pretty much the worst professionals when it comes to valuing our time and joining together to challenge bad conditions#or at having self-respect#it should have been an obvious red flag that they run several “intern programs” with their local universities#but the contract was really something else#feel awful for anyone who signs that thing

Shen Yuan, a 20-something y/o: I don't get how Luo Binghe fell in love with an old man like me
Shang Qinghua, a 60-something y/o: My King thinks we're around the same age but I'm actually old enough to be his father (and I kind of am)

book jaime lannister is the funniest boy because from birth he’s constructed a grand narrative in his mind that he is the perfect knight to his sister-wife’s perfect maiden, a relationship that exists solely to fuel their mutual narcissism and help him cope with his chronic identity crisis/trauma, only to see a buff girl naked for the first time and come to the subconscious realization that it’s actually HIM who is the maiden to brienne’s knight and proceeds to spend the rest of their trip using preschool tactics of annoying her to death so that she can notice him and sweep him off his feet (it works)
#grown man behaviour#pulling on crush’s pigtail (this will make her love me)#covered in grime filth and blood and still trying to rizz her up#i like their dynamic but brienne seriously needs to have more self respect#she fell in love with a whiny little sewer rat that she’s walking home#maybe she likes pathetic men#all men are pathetic to her but this one’s funny#jaime lannister#brienne of tarth#jaime x brienne#asoiaf#got#game of thrones#so there’s this boy… (gestures to pile of trash with glitter on top)

HOW TO GET A GLOW UP
‧₊˚❀༉‧₊˚.
I used to be the ugly dunklin, till I change in 1 week and turned pretty much half of my life upside down, it happened right after my 16th catastrophic birthday, at the time I was already following Liz and her tips which helped me so much!! So here how to glow up in minimum 1 week
౨ৎsmell good౨ৎ
This is so important, I noticed how people react to good smelling people, they just say it out loud how much they like the fragrance, knowning that it's you, will just make you more approacable, it boosts your confidence and overl all more liked
౨ৎexercise + diet౨ৎ
This was huge for me, not only it imroves your moods but it also makes your prettier, you need to fist know what goals you want to archive physically, if you want a bigger butt, eggs and potatoes salad can be a good alternative, if you want to have a snatched waist try to do more cardio, at the time the only cardio I used to do was jump roping, which is amazing!!
౨ৎwardrobe౨ৎ
This was the revolution, just dress how ou want each outfit can have at max 2 trendy elements, not more, and the rest it needs to rappresnt YOUR personality!! This is going to make you unique and recognizable!! Also I suggest to go shopping on friday lol, the beauty day!
౨ৎmentality౨ৎ
This is how everything started, a munch of motivational viddeos, the wizard liz and confidence targetting posts, moodboards and much more, at the time I was getting treated really harshly from my classmates, it was probably one of thelowest point of my life, bit I pick myself up, cause I had a goal: Changing my narrative.
There was not sense into staying bitter and hating not only myself but the world around, I wanted to prove to myself that I actually mettered, you don't glow up for other, but for yourself, never, ever welcome in your life people that before put you under the rug, have some respect for yourself and clear boundaries.
Hi bonitas I hope you liked this short post, This is just part of my expereince, tell me if you want to know more + other tips!! maybe I'll make a longer version in the future, Have a great day xoxo gougeous

with every video I'm getting more and more convinced there will never actually be an official 'hard launch,' just the door opening wider and wider until they act like the door was never there at all.
The fact that they answered the question about Phil snoring. The fact that they talked about "the bathroom" so candidly. the fact that they called it NEWLYWEDS AT ALL. They trust us so much because we put so much trust in them.
#mannnn i love it here#I feel like this is one of the most self-aware fandoms I've ever seen actually#at least in some parts#I just feel like there's a sense of mutual respect here that a lot of other fandoms REALLY don't have#love y'all <3#dan and phil#dnp#phan#dan howell#phil lester#dip and pip#dapg#danandphil#dan and phil games#amazingphil

the fact that everybody spent four years drawing devastatingly stylish and sultry femme!crowley and then he turned up with THESE LOOKS is just the funniest shit imaginable.
incredible scenes.
#good omens#crowley#david tennant#neil and the costume department and hair and makeup really looked at all that fan art and said you know what? 'fuck you'#and I respect it#I adore this stupid snake#this is literally the least cool being I have ever laid eyes on#can you BELIEVE he has the audacity to make fun of aziraphale for wearing tartan??#after aziraphale's lived through THESE looks???#the absolute cheek#the sheer unbridled self confidence#unmatched

ultimately i think my insistence on aro positivity honestly is as much a political stance as a personal one.
when i say aro positivity is crucial and that i dislike doomer-ist posts that express sentiments like 'I hate being aro so much I wish I was dead instead’ it's not because I don’t think there can and should be a space for negativity and acknowledging self-hate, or the many ways being aromantic can really suck sometimes. i find that to be very important!
that being said. there is smth here about how self-hate posts are sometimes just arophobia that we inflict on ourselves. and when we put that out into the ether it (intentionally or not) can become arophobia that we inflict on other members of the community. i think there absolutely needs to be a place for negativity and the expression of anger and frustration and self loathing even - these are all good things to talk about because these are things that we experience. that being said, it can also be genuinely upsetting and triggering to people to have what is essentially arophobia shown to them and then have that be validated by other aspec people. your personal thoughts can affect your wider community on a level you may not anticipate. and i understand it i truly do! it took me so long to be able to recover from accepting being aroace - it threw my entire world off kilter and made me question everything about my place in the world.
but my insistence on aro joy and positivity is because ultimately i do believe that building is at the core essence of it all. that ultimately discussions and the purpose of community should be about construction, not destruction. and this is both a personal and a political stance. talking about how much you hate yourself and cultivating online discussions/spaces where negativity about aspec identity is the main and only theme is destructive - if that’s where we let the conversation end. these thoughts can and should be used as a vehicle to look for a path forward!
joy and positivity create a space where the focus can become on forging a path forward, on construction, on community building instead of tearing ourselves and others down with negative thoughts. it’s not productive or healthy when it stops at a place of negativity - it becomes actively destructive to the essence of community.
and i do think that this is especially poignant considering the fact that being any kind of queer, but especially aromantic (and/or asexual) means forging a path for yourself and making your own happiness where there is no obvious way forward. our communities exist mostly online (right now, anyway), there is little recognition of our existence in the real world, the effects of amatonormativity are both pervasive and actively dehumanising, and there are legal, economic and social structures in place actively making our lives more difficult. yes that all sucks! it’s good to acknowledge that. we need to in order to change it. but more importantly, that’s not the end. we are still here and our happiness, our future is for us to determine. even if we can’t change the laws or society, loving yourself and understanding aromanticism as a political identity (as well as personal), as a radical worldview, and as a protest against amatonormativity is essential for both community and personal well being. the personal is political.
tldr. i guess my point is that as a community, we should focus on building, improving, and nurturing ourselves and each other (construction) as opposed to destruction. we should recognise aromanticism and asexuality as political identities as well as personal ones and rely on community and self-love in the absence of anything else as a form of protest and political power. destruction (the recognition of everything that is wrong) is essential as a starting point - but where do we go from there? we rebuild.
#aromantic#aro positivity#aspec#aroace#aro#aromantic joy#arospec#when i saw its important to 'love' yourself - pls understand i am in no way trying to exclude loveless aros from this#that was just the easiest way to express what i meant! when i say 'love' i mean positivity/respect/happiness. etc. i just used that word bc#it works for ME which is why i said it. but feel free to replace it with whatever works for you! <2#also sorry if not everything im saying makes total sense i tried my best#this is something ive been thinking about for a while and have been struggling to articulate#i maybe should have read some theory for this abt community building but im too tired + overwhelmed w school reading right now so sorry.#if anyone has additions on that front though please do add them#also ngl im kinda scared to post this. i hope i explained what i mean well enough. like i get wanting to vent and express self hate BUT.#there is nuance to this and it is not unilaterally healthy i think. also i dont see any other online community fostering the normalisation#of selfhate the way the aspec one does! which makes me feel weird abt it especially.#anyway. this is basically my personal philosophy towards aromanticism#mossy posts#⚙️

Every year Akio Ohtori loans his sister out to a bunch of teenagers, grooms said teenagers, makes all of them fight each other several times, does irreparable emotional damage, hopefully THOROUGHLY cleans the inside of his car because Christ alive.
And all of this, all these surreal, intricate rituals, are so he can lose a sword fight with a door.
This has happened multiple times. He doesn't even seem particularly upset about failing. Every year Akio Ohtori loses a sword fight with a door and somehow does not feel like an absolute clown. Could NOT be me, I would never try again. I would lie awake at night every night after the first attempt agonizing about how stupid I must have looked and how my sister absolutely would have laughed at me if all the organs she needed to do so weren't getting shish-kebabed six ways to Sunday.
#revolutionary girl utena#akio ohtori#shoujo kakumei utena#ohtori akio#rgu#sku#i might begrudgingly respect his total lack of shame#if i thought it came from solid self-esteem and not from intentionally isolating himself for years#surrounded by people who have no choice but to assume he's cool because they have no frame of reference for what a cool adult looks like#also i knowwww I'm taking this too literally okay it's fun to take Utena literally for the lulz sometimes

Shen Yuan: Answer me this then. Have you ever hated something so much that it killed you?
Shen Yuan: That's what I fucking thought
Shen Yuan: Bitch
