Cruelty isn't efficient but there's a persistent belief it should be. The stock market routinely rewards unprofitable cruelty. Ppl believe deeply that evil and ruthlessness pays off even in the face of evidence to the contrary.

First day on the floor at my new job! (Do other professions say that? I don't mean vertically, I mean in the patient care area as opposed to back offices.) Not sure yet if I like it or not. I know I'll like the hours, though! I'm gonna wake up with the sun all winter long.

a very common phenomenon is people rejecting the conclusions of propaganda, but accepting the premises. you can passionately disagree about how the trans problem should be handled, and it will still keep you from asking "what do you mean, 'trans problem?'"

can you tell your landlord that you need an appliance replaced, and legally that's her responsibility, but you volunteer to buy it yourself so you can get a nice one (I assume it's okay but can also think of reasons why it might not be)

I want to make another point here, that I think Faine does an excellent job of highlighting: there isn't anything particularly wrong with putting on sex parties with consenting adults A big issue here is that women are being pressured to attend in order to network *professionally*

hedonism takes different forms. for example smoking weed and reading wikipedia is 100% hedonic to me and other people of good taste. creating cryptic notes files on my phone that i cannot read the next day is another form of pleasure. now it's a puzzle. which i also love. pure hedonism

The time is nearly perfect for a movie about the famously chaotic and dramatic 1976 production of Star Wars, starring Ewan McGregor as Alec Guinness and Hayden Christiansen as David Prowse.

saw this on Instagram and it so perfectly encapsulated my rage

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made

Last day of work done. I'm going home. Then I get one day off and start training at my new job. This is one of the least bittersweet partings of my life. I'll miss some of my coworkers a bit, but as for the company, its patron, and about 90% of recent clients, I wish them the worst.
