christmas eve what about christmas adam

[qoti]

happy christmas adam to all men’s rights activists

[forfuturereferenceonly]

Please stop pestering us with things like this. This has nothing to do with men fighting for their rights. Eve is short for ‘evening’. Please don’t turn activism into a joke. Thanks.

Today’s Vibe - Hygge Anemoia

The scent of melted cheese on ham and bread, cinnamon loaves, and coffee cloak around me, trailing like fingers up my spine, bringing my heart into soft embrace.

The world is pale and grey today, the remnants of rain leaving winking puddles in its wake. Yet the wind cannot reach me now, sitting at a bar with lukewarm coffee in my hand, as I am transported back home, but it is one I’ve never known. For a moment, the clouds break and the sun smiles through the mist.

I cannot recall a time where I partook in ham and cheese and fresh-baked pastries and almond milk. But it is familiar, safe, and soothing, and I am become a child watching the world through rose tinted windows.

Today’s Vibe

I’ve been realizing recently that home does not reside in the walls of my domicile, where lies the tattered remains of my childhood pillowcase, my clothes which whisper tales from adventures long past, and

It lives in the laughter of my best friend, warm and bright and soothing like cinnamon dusted on morning cappuccinos. It hides in the crease of the smile of my love, the voiceless assurance of safety on long and raining winter nights. It rests in the relief of the hug when reuniting with my sibling, the one who showed me that family extends far beyond the bonds of blood.

My home lies not in where I return at the end of a long day. It is rather made from the pieces of my heart that each of my loved ones hold.

Today’s Vibe

My therapist told me two months ago that I was in the midst of my dark night of the soul.

I woke up this morning feeling hopeful.

Today’s Vibe

I fell into a canvas today. Oil on paper and fabric, cracked, dried and fluid as though the world itself faded into its background. Old blood and gold expanded their many limbs out to me and two figures began to detach from the stretched linen, turning and dipping and swooning until I become lost in their trance.

I know not how long I stood, watching their dance. It is love, it is sex, it is betrayal, it is heartbreak. It is beauty and terror melded into one. Tears welled in my eyes.

Today’s Vibe

The fog rests light and low in the air today, close enough that I might dance my fingers through it like locks of hair lain in loose braids for protection. It whispers of rain, yet slivers of sunlight remain and peek behind their veil.

[moneyfor-nothing]

Today’s Vibe

My mornings are made of frozen feet on gravel paths and muddy rivers, of shaggy coats and black toques to shield against whipping winds and the fire’s dwindling embers.

Its smoke melts with coconut in my hair as I stand at the head of a small shelter, a dozen tiny faces look up at me whilst I proclaim the prompts of the day. We write in silence, minutes yawn and stretch before fleeting into the designated time to share, and then to our remaining activities for the day.

God, how lucky I’ve become.

Today’s Vibe

The walk back to my apartment amidst the November night’s frost reminds me how much change a year can bring, and how much more remains the same.

Much like last winter, my fingertips prick betwixt the familiar clash of cold air and warm blood beneath. And much like last year, I know not what my future holds.

Unlike then, my responsibilities have changed. I find myself a teacher now, tasked with instilling the same love for the arts as I had in my youth. And I have grown independent, perhaps for the first time in my life.

What’s more, unlike then, my home is no longer where I sleep, but rather remains in the feeling of your hand enveloping mine, the sparks in my stomach when you kiss me, and the feeling of belonging.

Where fear for the future once gripped my throat, my chest, my core, there now rests a seed of knowledge—of security—that everything will work out as it should. As it always does. As it always will.

Today’s Vibe

I did not sleep last night, and spent my morning listening to the world slowly wake and rise from slumber, the sun masked behind fog and the gently falling rain.

It all crescendos in sleepy unison—a few wrens and chickadees noting the first hints of light and dissipation of the fog. As the sky stretches and melts from black, to purple, and finally a damp misty blue, crows and gulls begin to join in announcing the night’s conclusion. The first cars of the day commence their journeys with them. First one, the sound of sluggish tires parting shallow puddles, followed by a long interlude of birdsong and the sentimental smell of trees and morning dew.

Time flows, and more begin to pass. The sky turns to bedsheets, and the birds, the raindrops, the wheels fill the air with music. I wonder about my part in this song, but I am not preoccupied with the answer.

It’s insane to me that some people think animals don’t have souls. Look at this silly little diva. She knew exactly what she was doing and I love her

“Must have reliable transportation” = “this is how we legally discriminate against poor people who take the bus”

[courtcourttheshort]

As someone who has held several management positions with hiring responsibility, this is true. The boss at my last job informed me before I conducted my very first I interview,

“You can’t outright ask someone if they have a car or have kids. That’s technically illegal. But you need to know because sometimes they can be deal breakers. You can just say ‘Do you have reliable transportation?’ and ‘Do you have any current circumstances that could impede you from being successful at work?’

To which the last one most people fumble and would say, “Well I have kids, so sometimes they could get sick. But that’s not often.” But then your potential employer could mark it down on your interview notes nonetheless.

I thought that maybe it was just my own employer. But now I noticed that I am asked both of these almost every time I interview for a job.

Language is very sneaky. Be careful how you answer. Corporations can be snakes.

[iproposeawager]

In my businesses class my professor told us that the bus counts as reliable transportation. You do not legally have to say “I take the bus” just say “yes I do have reliable transportation” and leave it at that. Do not over share. DO NOT OVER SHARE. The second question just say no. If your kids are sick call out as if you are sick. I don’t have kids but I myself can get sick and that doesn’t hinder my ability to succeed so kids getting sick shouldn’t hinder you. When I call out I give as little info as possible. No one needs to know why you call out. They can’t ask about your “illness” because it violates HIPAA if they do. So as long as you don’t offer more info than you need to you should be okay.
