Forgiving people in silence and never speaking to them again is a form of self care.

♡ just because nobody loves you romantically doesn’t mean nobody ever will. It also doesn’t mean that you’re unattractive or not worth loving. one day you’re gonna put butterflies in someones stomach but for now just enjoy life ♡

Watch: It’s your right to share your salary, not doing so could be holding you back.

At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.

They gave me a number to shoot for.  It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.

So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.

I got what I asked for.

If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known.  I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.

You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.

Because this is crucially important

Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action. 

[kintatsujo]

It’s actually illegal for companies to forbid wage discussion, they’re just counting on you not knowing your rights.

Bodies In Water  LA-based artist Calida Rawles paints African-American women and men submerged in glistening water; bodies are swarmed by a flurry of bubbles, ripples, and refracted light.

I spent a solid hour and a half at work trying to help my colleagues understand racial disparities and bring to light things they claim to not understand nor relate to. But with every example I mentioned about microagressions, unfairness, and my own personal experiences with racism, they constantly said things like “I would never do anything like that to you.” or “My experience has been different. 🤔” and constantly missed the point of answering their questions or trying to teach them. They just became defensive as if they had a bunch of guilt weighing on them. I don’t blame them for not understanding things and I know they mean well, but the way they talked back to me felt incredibly dismissive... The entire conversation felt so draining.
