i think it was kind of a major failing to frame the self diagnosis issue around whether it's "valid" or not rather than the fact that unless an official diagnosis is necessary for you to access actually beneficial pharmaceuticals/treatment, accomodations or disability benefits, you should actively avoid on-paper diagnosis for your basic safety and access to care

A reminder to my self and all of you: you can, and should make customer complaints on behalf of staff.

Like last week, I had to mail a package and my local USPS was absolutely SWEALTERING. And the staff only had a few fans, some of which they were using faced towards customers, to try and keep us cool.

While doing my transaction, I was chatting with the worker about how crazy this was and how I hoped she had her own fan too, because I could only see the customer-benefit ones. She said yes, but I also asked if there was anyone I could complain to on her behalf and she immediately said yes again and to please do it! She wrote a more direct customer service number on my receipt which I was able to call Friday.

To be clear, I was kind and polite; I stressed how good the workers at this office were and how efficient always: "It's my local post office," but also how unbearable the heat was and how I couldn't imagine MY poor local staff having to suffer in that heat all day. I don't know yet if it will have an immediate effect for the workers, I hope it will though.

It's a move I haven't pulled much recently, but it was a good reminder for me that I can. I can put on my best assertive-Karen-for-good voice and bitch at companies and corporations to take care of their staff because why would I keep going to them if they don't? I know Post office is a little different, but all the more reason for me to take a vested interest as I pay for them with my taxes! Use my money to get those hard-working folks some goddamn aircon!

As someone who works in a warehouse without air conditioning or any kind of air filtration... DO THIS SHIT!! Higher ups will regularly ignore the concerns voiced by employees but will care a lot more about the complaints of customers. Also, a lot of things that employees complain amongst themselves about never make it all the way up the food chain because people don't have the balls to raise the issues to the people in charge. If its 103 outside and a feels like of 113 and you are thinking "how can they work in this heat?" Say something to the people who make decisions about these things! Complain to the higher ups that you are concerned someone is going to get a heat injury (don't blame the workers, and don't say they are moving too slowly or anything like that, make it about the specific safety hazard putting the employees at risk). I recently had to raise a concern about the terrible air quality from the Canada fires because no one else was saying it to the highest levels of the company but we were all trying to survive. When conditions are problematic saying something as a consumer goes way further than saying something as an employee or manager.

See a hazard, speak up for the employees having to deal with the hazard who have no control. Your words as a customer can be used to help or hurt employees, speak up for your friends.

Tattoo artist and I were debating over where to place my thigh tattoo. I, pants pulled down and half a buttcheek out in a large airy room in front of the windows said nervously “haha, I know I have a lot of thigh to work with” and they go “OMG yes I feel so bad for skinny clients because their art gets all crowded. You could get some nice big pieces on your arms and legs though”. Hell yeah my friend. Yet another W for the fat crowd tonight.

sometimes it's less like there's masculine and feminine things and gender neutral things, it's more like. there's gendered things and there's ungendered things. masculine things are ungendered feminine things are gendered. masculinity is the default and femininity is the abberation, the Gendered Experience. pants are for everyone skirts are for girls. suits are for everyone dresses are for women. you know

[pocket-deer-belly]

and can we maybe think of why a lot of historical feminist pushes to make masculine things gender neutral worked and now in the current modern day nobody bats an eye if women wear pants, but men wearing feminine things is still a hot topic of debate at best and grounds for violent assault at worst? is there maybe a word for this phenomenon?

[pocket-deer-belly]

it's almost like there's. a male default. activities deemed masculine have a value considered self-evident. and also considered default experiences. a desire to participate in those is considered natural. and everything outside of that is considered "gendered" and therefore Marked, as like, lesser, unworthy,

[angelooze]

i think the simplest example of this is things are nearly always a he at default, if it’s a fantasy creature *he’s* doing something, if it’s an inanimate object it’s often a *he* - everything must be attributed masculinity because that is a societal default and unless something explicitly preforms and acts out femininity in its entirety (and even if it does, that isn’t often enough as is the case with transmysogynists) it is a he in some way and even if *he* isn’t used it’s dude or bro or any other thing that can be dismissed as something other than male defaultism. That defaultism is a reward that can be seen when something is explained not to be a *he* when a fantasy creature is explained to be aligned with femininity or androgyny it’s no longer annoying or a fucker or anything it’s a bitch it’s a cunt it’s a whore it’s any misogynistic comment possible because the lack of maleness makes something lesser and require some kind of societal punishment

Imagine being Anais Mitchell and writing a song about the rhetoric of fascism so incisive and prescient that 10 years later an actual fascist would use that exact rhetoric down to the highly-specific phrasing in his presidential campaign. But also it took 10 years for the project you wrote that song for to move from living room shows to concept album to theater workshop to off-Broadway to Broadway, and its Broadway debut ended up coinciding with said fascist's successful bid for the presidency, and now it looks like your song that you wrote in 2005 is a super unsubtle reference to that one particular and highly-topical politician.

Frankly if I were her I would have started killing.

sex ed needs to mention aromanticism and asexuality in depth or else it sucks as sex ed

[rusababy]

no one off mentions. i mean IN DEPTH. discuss amatonormativity, compulsory sexuality, non romantic and non sexual intimacy, love being morally neutral

[rusababy]

stop giving kids sex and romance as their only possible way to be social and intimate as well as assuming they all want and prioritize only that, these babies are too lonely for that

[rusababy]

i think very soon there must come a time where we are able to distinguish between allosexual people who are attentive to sex negativity and allosexual people who believe that asexuals should bear the weight of their shame toward their own sexuality. i’m not puttin’ no disclaimers on my shit. you quite literally are the majority of the population.

[rusababy]

many allosexual sex positive niggas do that therapy speak manipulation and i can’t fuckin’ stand that shit. these niggas get on our asses cause they feelin’s be hurt by our distaste for sex and that’s the real tea. we ain’t nothing special in the sex negativity department compared to allosexuals, and if anything allosexuals needa check it more in they own community cause them the niggas that be the majority. and also be holdin’ office. and have the most influence. and be the majority. did i forget to mention how they the majority.
