💼Part of the Bad Bosses AU💼

You grab your purse and bid goodbye to Dizzie and Missie. The former is as dreamy as ever but you noticed how squirmy she got after venturing to the bathroom, peeking over at the table with your boss and her own. And Missie was yawning almost constantly, a gesture you found contagious and exhausting.

As you step out into the night and shiver, you pull on your jacket and search the street for a cab. You could walk but it’s late and you just want to get home. Before you can wave at the driver against the opposite curb, you’re jostled by a sudden collision.

You turn around at the grunt and the grip on your arm. The man sways as he steadies you. You brace yourself to fend him off, heart racing.

“Oh, Rosie,” Steve’s voice rumbles from his chest. The pungent scent of alcohol wafts around his words. “It’s you. I thought you were gone.”

“Um, Mr. Rogers,” you put your hand on his and try to shed his grip. He doesn’t budge, holding onto you as if to keep from tipping. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah… I’m good. I’m great.” He babbles, his voice thicker, his syllables clumsy. “Guys wanted to cheer me up.” He pops his lips around the P and hums. “How about you? You have fun with your friends?”

“Sure. It was nice catching up.” You put your hand on his other arm as he starts to lean. “How did things go with Peggy? Do you have somewhere to go?”

He scoffs then laughs. His head bobbles and he looks around evasively. His cheeks are pink from his indulgence.

“No. I… I was gonna sleep under my desk.” He giggles then it fizzles out to a groan. “Rosie… you don’t gotta worry about me.”

Your heart rents. You know he isn’t your responsibility. Not outside office hours but the thought of him drunkenly passed out beside his desk is too much for you. It’s a strength and a flaw; you just can’t stand to see others suffer.

“Come on, I’m gonna get that cab.” You angle around to point across the street. He’s still clinging to you. “You’re gonna take it with me.”

“I… am?” He murmurs.

“Uh huh.” You wave at the driver and he flashes his lights. He waits for a car to pass then cuts a U turn.

You face Steve again and firmly peel Steve’s hand from your arm. His palm brushes down your sleeve and he latches onto your hand. You try not to show your discomfort.

“Rosie…” he drawls.

“It’s alright, Mr. Rogers. You just need to sleep this off.” You assure him.

The cab comes over and you open the door. You finally get free of Steve as you help him into the back seat. He leans back heavily and breathes out. You give your address to the driver as you get in next to your boss.

This isn’t how you saw the night ending. If anything, you’d hope it would be a chance to forget the week. To shake off the unexpected shift in your work dynamic. You always liked working for Steve. He wasn’t demanding, he wasn’t mean, and he was pretty lax so long as you got your work done. Now, you just found him suffocating. 

His whole facade has shattered. He’s not the boss you knew. Not the man full of confidence and certainty. A man who didn’t hesitate to make himself heard. He’s a drunken mess.

He slides across the seat and leans on you heavily. He moans and rests his head on your shoulder. He grabs onto your arm and nestles against you as he yawns. You go rigid and stare at the rearview. This is so awkward.

You fidget as Steve’s hand drifts down your arm. He extends his fingers and touches your side. He pets there but you’re too nervous to stop him. He probably doesn’t even realise.

The cab pulls up to your building and you pay and tip the driver. You have to drag Steve out by his hand and when he gets his feet under him, he nearly tips you over. You get your arm across his back and do your best to keep him upright.

You stagger forward. You’re breathless as you angle him through the front door. As you get into the elevator, you nearly fall over with him.

“Mr. Rogers, please, you’re too heavy,” you plead with him as your backs hit the wall behind you. The elevator rises and he sways.

“Sorry, Rosie pie,” he purrs sleepily. “I’m sorry. I’m not… good enough for you.”

“Shh, it’s alright.” You assure him and lurch forward as the doors ding. “I just need you to– walk.”

“Okay, I– I can,” he garbles and sets his foot after three tries. “I can do it.”

You make a slow, stuttering progress forward. The doors nearly close on you but you elbow them back. You turn down the hall and shuffle to your door. Steve catches himself on the doorframe, still leaning on your arm as you unlock the door with your free hand.

You get him through and guide him to the wall. You tell him to just stay there as you turn to shut the door and twist the latch into place. You hang your keys and take off your jacket as he groans loudly.

His feet his the floor loudly as he pushes away from the wall. He grips his head and teeters around as he drones. You turn to watch him.

“I just need to lay down,” he slurs as he staggers blindly around the apartment. 

His leg hits the back of the couch. He bends over as he grabs on and keeps from falling over it. He exhales and shudders.

“Mmmmm,” he stands straight with all his effort. “It smells like Rosie….”

You stare at him, concerned and confused. He strips off his jacket and drops it to the floor. He inhales and shudders. Water. He needs water.

You go into the kitchen as he mumbles to himself. You swear he’s saying your name. You fill up a glass and come out to find him shirtless on the couch. He’s on his stomach, one leg hanging off and his muscular shoulders slack.

You put the water on the end table and touch his arm. “Mr. Rogers, there’s some water here.”

He hums and reaches out to pet your thigh. “So pretty…”

“You’re alright, Mr. Rogers. Tomorrow will be better. You’ll figure it out.” 

You pat his shoulder then pull down the throw blanket from the back of the couch. You spread it over him and he purrs. His fingers creep across your thigh. You flinch and step away from him.

“You’re gonna help me, right, Rosieeee?” He asks.

“Erm, sure,” you catch his hand as he reaches for you and you put it up on the couch. “In the morning. When you feel better.”

“Mmm, okay…” he curls his arm up around his head. “I love you, Rosie.”

You hesitate. He can’t mean that. He doesn’t. He’s drunk. And you might be too.

25 Essential Principles for Black Conduct and Empowerment: A Garveyite Perspective

From a Garveyite perspective, Black people must uphold a code of conduct rooted in self-determination, unity, discipline, and economic independence to reclaim sovereignty and build a powerful Black world. Marcus Garvey emphasized that the liberation of Black people requires not just awareness but action, structure, and collective responsibility. Without a solid foundation of principles to guide conduct, Black people remain vulnerable to external control, disunity, and stagnation.

This analysis outlines 25 essential principles that Black people must adhere to for collective empowerment, ensuring that every aspect of life—from personal discipline to political strategy—aligns with Black self-reliance and Pan-African unity.

1. Prioritize Black Unity Over Petty Divisions

Black people must reject tribalism, nationality-based elitism, and class divisions that prevent global solidarity. Whether African, African American, Caribbean, or Afro-Latino, all Black people share a common struggle and destiny.

2. Be Loyal to Black Institutions, Not External Systems

Economic, educational, and political systems designed by non-Black entities often do not serve Black interests. Black people must build, support, and defend their own institutions to ensure self-governance.

3. Maintain Economic Discipline and Group Economics

Black people must spend, circulate, and invest money within their own communities rather than enriching non-Black businesses that do not support Black liberation. Wealth must serve the collective, not just the individual.

4. Reject Begging and Dependency

Garveyism teaches that self-reliance is the key to sovereignty. Seeking validation, reparations without self-building, or constant dependency on non-Black systems keeps Black people weak. We must create solutions, not wait for handouts.

5. Strengthen the Black Family Unit

A strong Black nation starts with strong families. Fatherhood, motherhood, and communal responsibility must be honoured. The intentional breakdown of the Black family is a tool of oppression, and reversing it is a revolutionary act.

6. Guard Black Cultural Identity Fiercely

Black culture must be protected from dilution, appropriation, and distortion. The global media industry manipulates Black culture for profit while degrading its revolutionary potential. Black people must reclaim their spiritual, artistic, and historical identities.

7. Reject Hyper-Consumerism and Materialism

Black empowerment is not measured by luxury brands, flashy lifestyles, or European standards of success. True power comes from ownership, land, and industry—not consumer status.

8. Develop Financial Literacy and Generational Wealth

Black people must prioritize financial education, investments, land ownership, and cooperative economics over short-term spending habits. Financial discipline determines power.

9. Master Self-Defense and Security

Black communities must be physically and strategically protected. Knowledge of self-defense, martial arts, and security strategies is essential to prevent exploitation, gentrification, and violence against Black people.

10. Respect and Elevate Black Women

Black women have always been at the forefront of liberation struggles. They must be honoured, protected, and empowered, while rejecting both misogyny and feminism that devalues traditional African family structures.

11. Reject White Validation and Seek Black Excellence

Seeking approval from white institutions, corporations, or governments weakens self-worth. Excellence must be defined on Black terms, not Western standards.

12. Eliminate Self-Hatred and Colourism

Black people must dismantle anti-Black programming, including colourism, texturism, and Eurocentric beauty standards. Loving Blackness is a revolutionary act.

13. Be Politically Aware but Not Emotionally Manipulated

Black people must engage in politics with strategic awareness, rather than blind emotional allegiance to parties that do not serve Black interests. Power is taken, not asked for.

14. Prioritize African Spirituality and Indigenous Practices

African spiritual systems have been demonized and replaced with religious systems that pacify Black resistance. Black people must reclaim ancestral knowledge and reject systems that promote blind obedience over empowerment.

15. Train Black Youth for Leadership and Legacy

Black children must be educated in liberation philosophy, economic empowerment, and self-discipline from an early age. The next generation must be trained, not just inspired.

16. Reject Degenerative Media and Narratives

Music, television, and films that promote self-destruction, hypersexuality, and violence against Black people must be rejected. Media that elevates, educates, and empowers Black minds must be supported.

17. Demand Accountability from Leaders

Black leaders—whether political, religious, or social—must be held to strict ethical and strategic standards. Personality cults and blind allegiance lead to betrayal and stagnation.

18. Build Pan-African Alliances Instead of Isolating Movements

No single Black community or nation can thrive alone. Black people worldwide must work together to secure land, resources, and industries.

19. Promote Self-Discipline and Mental Strength

A weak and undisciplined mind is easily controlled. Black people must master self-discipline in thought, habits, and actions to create a powerful global presence.

20. Reclaim the Warrior Spirit of Our Ancestors

African history is filled with warriors, revolutionaries, and empires that resisted colonization and slavery. Black people must embrace the warrior spirit rather than glorifying passivity.

21. Master Technology and Control the Digital Space

The future is digital, and Black people must own, develop, and master technology rather than being just consumers. Controlling media, cybersecurity, and AI is critical for sovereignty.

22. Protect and Defend Black Land and Resources

Black communities and nations must protect their land, agriculture, water sources, and raw materials from foreign control. Land ownership equals power.

23. Reject Integration as the Ultimate Goal

Integration into white society is not liberation. The goal must be nation-building, sovereignty, and Black self-governance, not assimilation.

24. Reject Criminality and Sabotage from Within

Internal destruction—whether through gang violence, betrayal, or corruption—keeps Black people weak. Code of conduct, integrity, and accountability must be upheld.

25. Make Black Consciousness and Excellence the New Standard

Mediocrity, victimhood, and aimless entertainment must be replaced with a culture of Black excellence, Pan-Africanism, and mastery of knowledge and power.

Conclusion: The Path to Black Sovereignty Is Discipline, Strategy, and Unity

From a Garveyite perspective, the liberation of Black people is not a dream but a responsibility. Without a strict code of conduct, discipline, and self-determination, Black people will remain vulnerable to exploitation, division, and external control.

Marcus Garvey built the largest Black organization in history because he understood that power comes from order, strategy, and a clear set of guiding principles. These 25 rules serve as a modern framework for achieving Black sovereignty, economic independence, and Pan-African unity.

The question is: Will we have the discipline to follow them?

[fishymari]

silly goofy goober code of conduct i made with my little brother

Im using this to teach him how to be a silly member of society, and also teach him to be respectful

The rules are:

be respectful towards everyone (๑>؂•̀๑)

2. dont joke abt serious topics like war, abuse, or anything similar (like the mfs at school who think joking about epst13n is funny)

3. remember and respect ppl's boundaries

4. take responsibility if you do smth wrong and say "sorry" ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

5. dont condone or use Ai if there are alternatives (im sure there's like at least one context where Ai isn't inherently harmful, so I put if there's alternatives bc of things like Ai "art", like bro js pick up a pencil)

6. dont shame ppl for their interests/hobbies

7. NEVER call someone a "cornball" in a derogatory way (friendly fire is not allowed)

8. TRY to be kind towards everyone (not forcing anyone to be kind to like their opps, but its not very silly to be calling ppl mean names, is it?)

9. Know when its better to be serious and not joke/play around (ex. Funeral, better not to be cracking jokes there, instead be respectful about it ദ്ദി◝ ⩊ ◜.ᐟ )

10. Have fun ꉂ(˵˃ ᗜ ˂˵)

Linux Code of Conduct Board Blocks File System Changes

Imagine basing code contributions on a Code of Conduct.

I would fucking love for someone to be banned, who then releases code to fix a 0-day exploit, and have whatever FOSS project not be able to implement it because it would mean their CoC is worthless.

Like, Jesus Christ. These people do it for free and you want to tell them, "Do to this violation you no longer have the Privilege of working for us for free. Come back later and we might let you."

I think I've found a new channel to subscribe to.
