FINALLY GOT THE FUCK OUT OF JOB CORPS!

I... am... enthused.  To say the least.

I'm about to move to another city and start a job, and Internet access probably won't be available for the first little bit.  But once I get it back y'all will get the scoop.

Some highlights:

1: A staff member giving a lecture at Eagle Hour (our weekly brainwashing session) about a former student who reported that his life was going great - only to find out that the student had been reprimanded at work and had a hearing for drug paraphernalia found in his car.  Said staffo was baffled that the student claimed his life was going "great."

Well gee.

Maybe, just maybe, when you tell people that Their Problems Aren't Really That Bad, and that you just have to Be Positive and Get 'Er Done, and your life will turn out sunshine and fucking roses, you shouldn't be surprised when someone believes you.

2: DBADA.

Once upon a time, the selfsame staff member coined the phrase "DBADA," which stands for "don't be a dumbass."  It used to mean, don't screw up epically.  Don't go to a hotel and get drunk and bring back bedbugs.  Don't piss on the rocks outside Security.  Etc.

Well, it took all of a few months for DBADA to come to mean, don't break any rules.  You know, don't wear open-toed sandals in the cafeteria, don't have your electronics out after 10:30 PM, whathaveyou.  End result: even the slightest infraction makes you a dumbass.

Congratulations, good sir.

3: The budget has not been cut.  Job Corps is a wonderful facility full of amazing, respectful people and if you don't like it you're just nasty and negative.  We must all act like we're SUPAR WONDERFUL PEOPLE so that the public doesn't get a bad impression of the place (read: see it for like it really is.)

Our center director, ladies and gents, is full of lies.

Delaying this post for an unspecified amount of time so my identity isn't blatantly obvious (except to the one guy who already knows.  Hai, guy!)

Stop going on and on about how you are a WOMAN

and getting mad at me for implying that you’re kinda masculine looking

Then acting all baffled that I don’t want to go hang out in queer women’s spaces with queer women

And calling me a girl

(Yes I did apologize for hurting her feelings because that was never my intention and blah blah blah)

[labelsontables-blog]

Let me further elucidate.

I met this woman and we were talking about stuff and srsly it felt like she was going I AM A WOMAN WOMAN WOMAN every ten minutes. Which is approximately the length of time it took her to forget that I am also transgender and suggest I go do some girly shit.

One time I said something that hurt her feelings. I apologized. When I tried to correct her after something she said to me, she’d act dismissive.

So please take your own advice and go fuck yourself.

[fsugoi]

wow it’s almost like trans women can sense bigots and it makes them uncomfortable. inb4 this cisfuck claims not to be a bigot…

[labelsontables-blog]

Wow, it's almost like trans men don't like being called girls. Or cisfucks, for that matter.

"why do trans women get offended when i tell them they look like men."

sorry that your friend had to deal with you.

[ecosynchronous-deactivated20221]

i’m sorry they had to deal with each other. it sounds like his friend responded to an admittedly shitty, but also accidental, insult, by deliberately misgendering him? although i could be reading this entirely wrong.

basically it sounds like maybe neither of them belongs in public til they can learn to be respectful of other people. =_=

[labelsontables-blog]

Right, I guess that making mistakes means you don't deserve to be part of the general populace. Because a lack of social experience is equal to malicious intent. Obviously we're all perfect and do exactly the right thing unless we're total bastards.

You know, I looked at the post again, and I realized it could come across as really hostile. I'm genuinely sorry about that. I realize i made the post out of anger with little regard to how it would affect others. I would be happy to take it down or re-write it or just untag it or whatevs. Your call.

Right, because respecting someone's gender and apologizing when you fuck up makes you a douchebag, but the person who misgendered you repeatedly for hours is a victim

From Canada to the United States to Central and South America, transgender people were murdered last month at a rate that is almost 50 percent higher than the murders of lesbian and gay people.

This is the funniest thing I've seen today. "Let the love of Jesus pop a cap in your ass" - lolololololol

(Be warned, though: it's racist as fuck and repeatedly uses the N word.)

[patchgordon]

Why this slogan is problematic.

Why this discussion is important, especially for scientists, science enthusiasts, and public educators. I’m an atheist (surprise!) and Dawkins’ The Selfish Gene is the book that made me decide “That’s it! I have to go be a scientist! Evolution and ecology are just too awesome to not do for the rest of my life!” I looked up to Dawkins as a science communicator, someone who pushed for scientific literacy as a social value, not an abstract skill for the few and the elite.Or, at least, that is how I interpreted things anyway. But as I pursued science and science communication, I learned more about the obstacles in the way of progressing scientific literacy as a social value. Without equally distributed resources for education, making the scientific process a social value was a pipedream. And the obstacles in the way of this pipe dream becoming a feasible reality are in structures of oppression that we take for granted and consistently misrepresent, miscommunicate, and/or misunderstand in political and public forums or in the media. I was terribly disappointed to find that much of the skeptic and atheist community was also guilty of this, despite claiming to value science. The prevailing idea is that racism/sexism/classism/etc is simple, explicit, and works as a dichotomy, not a structured, institutionalized hierarchy in which one group is privileged above others.

My favorite part of this post is how it went from Richard Dawkins to DS9. Fuck yeah, sensible nerd skeptics.

(Seriously, though, this is a post that merits some reading. The fact that a scientist could sit there and deride other scientists for not following his worldview because their findings disagree with it...]

I lied

I said I didn't feel well

(Which is kinda true)

But I didn't go to church today because I'm tired of getting misgendered in a queer-friendly space

I can get that literally anywhere
