This reminds me of my Dad giving my Mom directions back in Massachusetts. They have lived in California for about 45 years, and were there for a funeral. My Mom is driving to the funeral home in Peabody. My dad says, “take a left where the leather factory used to be”, and that leather factory looked exactly like this image.
On June 28, 1969, the #Stonewall Riots began following a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, one of New York City's best-known LGBTQ clubs. Forty-seven years later, the site was declared a National Monument by Presidential Proclamation. https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315976

tumblr post: women should not be obligated to wear makeup
bootlickers: just a little reminder though that it’s ok to wear makeup i wear makeup just a reminder it’s ok to wear makeup i like to wear makeup i have eyeliner wings sharp enough to kill a man why do you hate women who wear makeup i love wearing makeup let women do what they want wear makeup wear makeup wear makeup wear makeup wear makeup
it’s a little more nuanced than that
actually “women should not be obligated to wear makeup” is not a statement that needs more nuance
There actually was an employment law case like this, I think it was EEOC vs. Harrah's were a female bartender was fired for refusing to wear makeup. The argument went something like this: barkeep was a natural woman (think Tahoe) and she did not wear make up as part of how she identified as a woman. The EEOC actually lost because the Court ruled that the very strict gender based guidelines were equally restrictive of men and women, sounds a lot like separate but equal though eh?
Men and women were both restricted in hairstyles, uniforms, and women were required to wear make up and men were not allowed to wear make up.
For sure!
Do non-americans realize that the United States is literally just a bunch of countries in a trench coat that agreed to be semi-nice to each other in order to sneak into the Big Boy Club? Because let’s be honest that’s just what the USA is
The rest of the world: So… you’re a big country?
The states, standing on each other’s shoulders: Y- yes,,,
I love how everyone who’s reblogged this hasn’t added anything on or tagged anything on it. They’re all just like “Yeah. That’s it. That’s the entire United States summed up in one post-”
#oh my god is THAT why you guys are so weird
Yeah 100%
Don’t let these tags die omfg
10/10 can confirm
absolutely bonkers that my own tags have crossed my dash like this more than fifteen reblogs after i wrote them
I moved to another state. 30 minutes away. My family acts like I betrayed them and can’t understand my life choices. It’s completely different way of life, especially during covid. Completely different country.
every single fucking time one of those articles of “things europeans find weird about america” complains that sales tax isn’t included
states set the sales tax!!! it’s literally different across state lines!!! american retailers can’t add it bc they’d have to account for 50 different prices!!!!!!!
It gets even more insane! California’s clean air standards for cars and other such things are so much higher than everyone else’s! So if a car manufacturer in Detroit wants to sell their damn cars in California, they need to build their cars to California clean air standards. But retooling an assembly line and car design to have some cars meet California clean air standards, while building others to other clean air standards is a lot of work, so car manufacturers all over the country have to build all their cars to California clean air standards.
Which is why California went into an uproar earlier this year when the Federal Government tried to argue that states can’t set their own environmental guidelines! “Fuck you!” says California, “we remember Los Angeles in the 80s, how bad the smog gets, go pollute your own damn air over in your own damn state where there isn’t a thermal inversion layer to trap all the smog down near ground level!”
“But you’re making it soooo haaaaaard to sell our cars everywhere else!” they whine.
“Fuck you!” California shouts. “And while we’re at it, we don’t give a shit what you say, Mister President, we’re gonna open our damn states when we’re good and ready, and our friends Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, and Washington State agree! Also, we’ve decided to legalize weed!”
“But the Federal Government says it’s illegal!” shouts the other states.
“Fuck you, we make the drug laws in our state, and we say toke up!”
“Now, hang on!” shouts the Federal government. “You can legalize weed in your state, but all banks are federal agencies, so if your weed dispensaries set up bank accounts, those accounts have money from illegal practices in it and are subject to seizure by the federal government!”
“FINE!” shouts California. “Hey, weed guys, you can keep selling weed, but you can only deal in cash!”
“How the fuck is that supposed to work!?”
“I DON’T FUCKING KNOW, TAKE IT UP WITH DC!”
“By the way, if you’re gay married elsewhere, we won’t recognize it,” mutters Texas.
“OH FUCK YOUUUUUUU!”
And so it goes and so it goes…
“What’s sales tax?” says Montana. “What’s road maintainence?” “also what’s a speed limit?”
I love this because it is so true! I moved to California when I was almost four years old. 53 years later I still say I am from Massachusetts! It drives my family nuts because I feel I can legit sat things starting with “You Californians...”. I started losing my accent early on, kids in grammar school are mean and relentless. There are still words I say with a Boston accent. Like Gah-bonzo bean, not garbanzo bean.
So exciting to see my son’s working coming out! Please read and share, there is much more to come: https://nursingclio.org/2020/01/27/just-being-there-the-aids-crisis-and-the-shanti-projects-hospital-counselor-program/

WHEN THE HELL DID I USE THIS TAG
My nephew did this. She was punishing he son by locking him in his room in their new house. He had to go to the bathroom, so she grabs the skeleton key and it dies not work. She tells him to go pee in the closet. He says he has to poo so she says, go in the closet. Eventually cons the Gardner into going up the ladder to break the window open and take the hinges off the door. Kid was 3 years old.
First, think. Second, dream. Third, believe. And finally, dare.

I love this shot. As for the saying- it is golden. But I am #ADHD so it is more like dare, dream, and then think. I need doubt, but it is rare for me. #adhdproblems
If you vape, listen to your body. It could be telling you that you’re being exposed to harmful chemicals.
Great advice!

My dream happy place!
On a job application: “What is your preferred name and gender, we value diversity, so be honest.” Me:
I don’t know what this means. I’ve never filled out a form that said that.
they’re asking you to disclose if you’re transgender. legally, they can’t ask or consider someone’s gender in hiring someone, so they get around it by giving you the option of telling them yourself. if you “volunteer” the information, that’s legal.
its like when they try to figure out if you’re poor by asking if you have “reliable transportation,” hoping that ppl will explain that they dont have a car without actually being asked. things like that.
its a scummy thing to do, especially in this case where theyre presenting it like a “diversity” thing.
^^^^ Never answer those questions honestly if you actually want the job.
My managers have personally told people that anyone who puts anything like that outside of just “male or female” gets their application tossed immediately. Btw if an interviewer asks if you have reliable transportation, don’t say anything but “yes I do” that’s it!!!!! Don’t say another word don’t say you take the bus or walk or bike or get rides or uber don’t say anything!!!!! Just say yes and that is it they cannot require any sort of proof of transportation.
Shit. I didn’t know that about transportation but I'mma start doing it now.
I just took a class where one of the things we had to go over was interviewing to hire.
The entire process was super gross and made me feel scummy and unethical. SO!
Here is an article (that we used in class) that covers 30 Interview Questions Potential Employers are Not Allowed To Ask You (and what they might ask you instead).
Be on the look out for any of these questions.
fuck no wonder i havent gotten a job…
thanks.
I have over 30 years HR experience. These types of questions, and some of their ask instead ? Are bad. As an example For transportation you could tell a story about a time when your car broke down and what you did to get to work on time- or something along those lines. We don’t ask ? like that. We sat “tells us about a time when you had trouble getting to work. What happened? What did you do?’
Even if their question is theoretical, you will sound like a stronger candidate if you give an actual example.
Merci Suárez Changes Gears (2018)
Merci Suarez knew that sixth grade would be different, but she had no idea just how different. For starters, Merci has never been like the other kids at her private school in Florida, because she and her older brother, Roli, are scholarship students. They don’t have a big house or a fancy boat, and they have to do extra community service to make up for their free tuition. So when bossy Edna Santos sets her sights on the new boy who happens to be Merci’s school-assigned Sunshine Buddy, Merci becomes the target of Edna’s jealousy. Things aren’t going well at home, either: Merci’s grandfather and most trusted ally, Lolo, has been acting strangely lately — forgetting important things, falling from his bike, and getting angry over nothing. No one in her family will tell Merci what’s going on, so she’s left to her own worries, while also feeling all on her own at school. In a coming-of-age tale full of humor and wisdom, award-winning author Meg Medina gets to the heart of the confusion and constant change that defines middle school — and the steadfast connection that defines family.
