So
As some of you may know, I work a 3rd shift contracted delivery job. We are the delivery drivers for a different company that contracts out that work to our company (make sense?). Well recently they decided it would be cheaper (wrong) to hire us as employees (god this is gonna be so fucking funny istg) and drop the contractor we work for. They also think it will be better to give us company cars and phones to use! Cheaper too! (Wee lambs)
And they finally came to our current dispatcher and asked her why none of us had applied yet? (read: literally no one has applied for this job. We were determined to replace you and thought WE could get people to apply....for a job that you guys have already been trying and failing to hire for for months....please please save our ass and work for us 🥺)
So ofc we all applied (we'd been boycotting it before now waiting to be offered the jobs) It was a formality/legal thing, we all already had the job if we wanted it.
The application process was abso-fucking-lutely insane (most of the minor companies the major one owns are retail...they all have to fill out this monster to work minimum wage 25 hrs a week it's ridiculous) but we powered through it. So after the bs of that and being told with no warning on a Thursday we had 48 hours to go pee in a cup oh actually just 24hrs since all those places are closed on Saturday good luck!, we are finally all officially hired! Hooray!
Last night around 11pm they sent me the orientation stuff, that needs to be filled out a week before they take over.....in February.....
Everything after that bottom one is reminders that I "must fill this out before you start working for us!!! Why haven't you done this yet???? You HAVE to!!!!???"
That's because
I don't actually start working for you
Till FEBRUARY

Zylas: I'm not sure if there's truly an afterlife for humans.
Zylas: But if there is, there's something very important that you should know.
Zylas: I never liked you.

when u go to write a mentally ill person in ur story you are presented two options. the first option is to write your mental illness realistically as you actually experience it with all the ups and downs and people who are like you will resonate with it and feel seen. except every person who reads instagram infographics on mental health that uses the phrase narcicisst for anyone who does anything that crosses them and unironically call themself a dark empath will call you scary and tell you that youre demonizing mentally ill people
the second option is to lie and write inspiration porn for those people to get hard to

The UNRWA is concerned that if they do not receive more funding they will run out by the end of February please spread this message
in case any of you missed it, despite the ICJ's ruling for Israel to facilitate MORE aid into Gaza, the global west has responded by cutting funding to UNWRA, which is responsible for delivering significant amounts of aid into Gaza, as well as surrounding areas such as Lebanon. The countries cutting funding consist of the US, Australia, the UK, the Netherlands, Swritzerland, Italy, Germany, Finland, Canada and Japan. This was all due to a claim by Israel that members of UNWRA were Hamas-members or sympathisers which, at the end of the day, is a claim that concerns only 12 members in a total of 30,000.
Without proper funding, UNWRA is likely to run out of resources by February of this year (only another month) and urges the countries that have suspended donations to reconsider. This is a blatant move from the colonialist countries of this world to starve Palestinians even further when they are already facing unforeseen levels of famine.
Please take some time out of your day to call your reps, your political leaders and urge them to restart their funding. In the meantime, here is a link to donate to the UNWRA.
