Scenario: You’re a manager (male) and one report (femme) wears dresses to work. She sits across from another report (male). The m-report comes to you about the femme because… “even if I’m not looking her chest she might think I am and MeToo me.” There is no dress code. What do you do?

Generic advice for any dudes in bars: coming up and telling someone that your preference is for *however they look at the time* is not the way. Others do not care that you think something is attractive and they happen to look it at this moment. Such a strange conceit.

Last night a human made me a Ramos Gin Fizz at the bar I go to (without me asking and DEFINITELY not expecting one) and never have I been more assured that I am not an actual piece of garbage to be around.

the dark patterns pushing AI on us are disintegrating user experiences across the board. Why does gmail read and generate a response to an email, but not even show me a text box to write my own reply until I click "reply"?

Sometimes I think about how SO many people gravely ask me about being physically and sexually abused at work and when I say it’s minimal. They tell me the bright side is that it was only mental and emotional isn’t as bad if that was the majority. I should feel lucky.

“Do you legit just live down the street from a world class bar?” Yes, yes I do.
A lowball cocktail called Merlin’s Beard and a menu with all the drink special. 

The drink contains Herradura Blanco. Mezcal. Americano Bianco. Cucumber. Lime. Shiso. Salted Watermelon Foam.

The bar is called Baby Gee and it is Top 10 Best in the West.

The Netflix Lord of the Flies mispronouncing “Konch” as “Kahn-ch” instead of “Konk” is infuriating to me on a fundamental level. Mostly cause people tired to gaslight my family into thinking they were uneducated plebs for pronouncing it the correct way.

Remembering how a man tried to stop me from being hired at a job because I wore a dress he didn’t like 10 years before. He had never worked with me. I keep being told to win over these men or give them chances. And because I hate having to do so, OTHER men blame me. Anyhow… I tired.

I really hate that the answer given to many PoC about being poorly treated is that they should leave the industry for their health if it’s so bad. And not that perhaps people shouldn’t be shitty to PoC.

Re-reading Fifth Season and this is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you @nkjemisin.bsky.social This series means more to me than you’ll ever know and I will forever be grateful that you wrote it.
Text on a page that reads “There passes a time of happiness in your life, which I will not describe to you. It is unimportant. Perhaps you think it wrong that I dwell so much on the horrors, the pain, but pain is what shapes us, after all. We are creatures born of heat and pressure and grinding, ceaseless movement.
To be still is to be... not alive.”

If you’re a dude in a bar looking to flex on a femme reading… And she asks you who you like… be prepared to answer more than just the author. Cause chances are they read a lot. And will want to KNOW the book that you particularly fancy. Two seconds of research is all.
