Unpopular opinion: people read way too into certain books and shows. Not everything is problematic or bigoted. Sometimes things are just things.

agreed, sometimes things really are just things :)

send me your unpopular opinions, bookish or not :)

Dear youngins,

When you start a job, WRITE DOWN THE DATE YOU STARTED. Also the date you ended, if it ended. Write down the address. Write down the supervisors name.

You have NO IDEA how many forms this will be on. Seriously. I dont care if you have to email it to yourself on your hello kitty email or something, write it down and keep it. 

[sacredgayometry]

Also!! The date any promotion or pay raise is implemented!!

[intj-confessions]

^^^ They seriously ask for this on so many job forms.

[asidewalksymphony]

Honestly, the best option is to keep it saved in some sort of document on your computer or phone. I use a certain template and just copy and paste it, and refill it every time I go to a new job. Maybe it’ll help others, so here’s the template I personally use.

(Name of the place you’re working at) Supervisor/Boss name: Address: Phone number: Job Title: Starting pay: Ending pay: Reason for leaving: Start (From): End (To):

It’s all shit that you’ll be asked on pretty much any job application. So go forth and be organized kids.

[psy-faerie]

Okay but what do you do if you never wrote any of that down

Nobody ever told me I would need to know these things. I ended up figuring out that this was important stuff to remember when I saw it on another application and now I have a document on google docs that I use to track my jobs and volunteering experiences and whatnot. If you don’t know the exact dates like me, what helped me was I would look through old emails and anything they gave me when I was hired or my first pay cheque. Anything that would give me a date. Otherwise I would take a rough estimate.

80 Young Adult Books by Black Authors

Supporting black authors is something that I definitely need to start doing more, so I’ve compiled a list of 80 YA books by black authors. I’m putting the ones that I’ve read at the top in bold, and the rest will be books that I have looked up and have put on my list to read. I can’t do much to change what’s going on in our world right now, but I can do my part to support the black community in any way that I can. These are in no particular order and please feel free to add more!

This is why I don’t care when big companies and corporations tell us they support black people. They’re just capitalizing off of black trauma. Tired of it.
