Shout out to trans women who aren’t computer scientists or musicians or avant-garde artists or whatever.
Shout-out to tgirls who work at Taco Bell. Thank u queen, society would collapse without you
Over twenty years ago my big brother got me a job at a Taco Bell in the St. Louis suburbs-West County. He warned me that it was the “gay Taco Bell”, but since I was coming from the “gay Howard Johnson’s” I wasn’t shocked. It turns out it was the black trans women Taco Bell complete with black trans women in management. And they’d worked out an arrangement with the local teen Narcotics Anonymous group so that twice a week we would shut down the drive thru and the dining room and exclusively serve 60+ teens in various stages of recovery. And many of the women I worked with were in various stages of being out or transitioning and they were from all generations from teens to over 50. One woman I worked with had a regular corporate job presenting as a man 9-5 Mon-Fri and then came to Taco Bell and worked 6pm -2am Friday and Saturday night so she could be herself surrounded by other black transwomen in those stolen weekends. And we had customers come from all over the metro area because they knew they could be themselves in the dining room. I only worked there from 1999-2001 but for young me, this was a vital, formative experience. Some of the girls came from north city all the way out to the “gay Taco Bell” on Manchester in west county because they heard it was safe to work there. Like- I know times have changed but they haven’t changed much in 20 years. I’m still convinced that for lgbt youth, finding a job at your city’s version of the “gay Taco Bell” is key to survival.
Thank u for sharing this with us
Always bear in mind that there is absolutely no legitimate evidence that Luigi was actually the one who killed the insurance company guy.
Of course he wasn't. He was at a party with me that day.
No but like literally, actually. All bits aside.
He didn't do it.
The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.
Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?
From the moment of his arrest, even left-of-center media has been presuming his guilt without examining anything (e.g. calling him "the killer" instead of "alleged" or "accused") and then when I say he didn't do it, the nearest person chimes in with some quip that tells me they think he did do it but should go free anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would have the same attitude if he had done it. But he didn't. It makes me feel like the only sane person in the world, even among my staunchly leftist friends.
Was I the only one as a kid who watched Teen Titans and thought Slade was black 😭

Narcissistic abuse isn't a thing, narcissists simply can abuse. The type of abuse we usually talk about when we say "narcissistic abuse" is just psychological, verbal, and emotional abuse.
Someone can have narcissistic traits without having Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The word narcissist isn't just a diagnosis but also a descriptor.
We shouldn't demonize people who are diagnosed narcissists as a whole but when the diagnosis is named after a negative descriptor it becomes very hard in general to separate them unless properly educated.
We need more classes when it comes to this sort of stuff. I feel like there probably is ngl.
Recent finds:
Saw a selected few be like "oh but narcissistic does means self-absorbed, and when i use it, i refer to the word by itself. No ties to NPD. That's why i use the tem 'narcissistic abuse' no problem" bitch...it doesn't MATTER how you use it. Narcissistic personality disorder has narcissistic in the name. The ignorant ones will associate a word...with the SAME WORD.
The logic is good, but doing the ableist thing while operating under different logic ain't actually fighting shit. In the eyes of whoever sees you saying "narcissistic abuse" as a first impression, you're just doing the ableist thing.
In a similar vein "I know what asocial is and that antisocial means antisocial personality disorder. But everyone thinks they're the same so i'll keep saying antisocial" USE YOUR BRAIN
Even though it's "technically" an accurate description it's just an unneeded way to describe the abuse. I completely understand why people may say it at that moment because we as people aren't usually thinking too hard when we're talking about the things we go through but we should also keep this sort of stuff in mind in the future.
Some people just don't know or realize at all, I feel like the majority of people worldwide don't even know that narcissism can be a personality disorder which is a part of the problem of the demonization of NPD. As soon as someone here's "narcissist" they're usually going to hear the descriptor, not the diagnosis.
It does suck but it's just kind of how society works, and with how stubborn people are when getting new information on something they feel they already know about. Not an excuse of course.
(Just in case. I know I'm speaking very neutrally but I am agreeing with you. I just like talking about the nuance of the topics I'm speaking about. People who actively know the entirety of this but still choose to use the term really aren't doing any favors for anyone. Unless they're calling for a name change for the diagnosis they really shouldn't be doing that.)
Longtime readers may be aware of how much I relish an excuse to bully a company, so I'm sharing the wealth;
Clothing company Patagonia is currently sueing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparable” harm to their brand.
To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.
So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.
I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because sueing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile. Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.
They're claiming they're sueing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.
In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.
Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'
I think they have a twitter and tiktok too!
The implication that a corporate entity owns the word "Patagonia" is disgusting and blatantly colonialist.
Second, an outdoor exploring brand not teaming with an environmental activist with a massive global platform is blatantly homophobic/transphobic (conservative people discriminate equally).
Third, the company not demanding money is explicit evidence the lawsuit is not about potential lost revenue, it is purely about the potential negative image of potentially being associated with the queer community.
imo humanstuck johns trajectory is from bratty kid to shitty teenager. dave got all his badness out of the way in middle school so all he can do is watch in horror
friendly reminder to everyone, me included:
having plans or being excited for sex with your partner(s) is amazing and fun, but don't let it get you down if the plans change for whatever reason.
we've been conditioned by all kinds of media to interpret "I have a headache" etc. as an excuse, a sign for a failing relationship, for a lack of communication, but that's usually not the case.
you can have bad health days, can be tired or sad or whatever! or? just not be in the mood for the scene you were talking about for days.
all of that is okay. it's fine. there will be other opportunities, there will be days you feel better, and it might be disappointing for all involved parties because you were so excited for it, but not letting yourself get pressured (or pressuring yourself) into uncomfortable situations is more important than a fleeting sense of disappointment.
I know I struggle with this often- and my partner is the most compassionate, kind, patient and loving person I've ever known! there's never any pressure from him. it's internal and I'm trying to actively unlearn these thought patterns so I thought other people might need to hear this as well 🖤

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here
And then you had that dream again.
Always remember that the EU did a study in 2013 about the effects of piracy on media publishers and found that there is no correlation between piracy and sales! (And then they tried to hide that study bc that's not the result they wanted)
So piracy is at worst not even a problem, and at best it's free advertisement.
Source: (the link to the actual study is in the article)
In 2013, the European Commission ordered a €360,000 ($430,000) study on how piracy affects sales of music, books, movies and games in the EU
