Canonical sucks

@freya@chaosfem.tw they're just awful to their employees too... and it seems like they take people who are really eager and excited and talented and just break them :(

very sad

a thing cis allies could do: obtain gender affirming care and publicly acknowledge it to people they know

getting a boob job? HRT for menopause? HRT for low T? laser hair removal?

affirm ur gender and tell ur friends how great it is

that would be dope, thanks

remember the time you worked night shifts in a cement factory as a temp job?

i could work a job that involved being dragged by a horse, but i worked bussing tables at The Old Spaghetti Factory for a few months and just could not keep up.

much respect for anyone working food service jobs.

i've had so many jobs that surprised people even before i was out

i wonder how people would react now to knowing that my first ever job was a cowboy at a racehorse farm

i've almost died so many times too...

working blue collar jobs is wild.

yunno fracking? that awful thing you hear about on the news?

i worked in a frack sand recycling plant in the early 2000s. first summer i weighed in/out the trucks, the next summer i worked in the plant.

driving a bobcat is fun.

having pressurized sand+water eat through the steel casing of the factory and shooting a thin jet of water that proceeded to nearly cut through the steel supports of the factory, less fun.

climbing along the conveyor belt attached to the roof of the sand storage barn to fix the belt was the least fun of all, though.

one day, after adding a new feature to his website, this dude asked me if i could get him MDMA

i used to get double whatever he ordered and keep half for myself and sell it to him at full price and he loved me for it

once i started a contract IT business that i advertised on craigslist.

that's how i met the whackiest web-dev client i ever had. i miss that guy sometimes. he paid so well.

his business pro-tip: name your business whatever your customers are gonna search on google to find your product.

one of my fave jobs ever was working for this iPhone fixing company.

they were just starting out and didn't have a big market presence, so their whole idea with me running this booth downtown was for advertising.

i sold phone cases and served as drop-off/pick-up location for folks.

i was given a jeep to drive around wherever i wanted, as long as i paid my own gas when i did extra driving. took that jeep out camping lots that summer...

every morning i'd drive downtown and then finagle this awkward dance of setting up a booth totally solo and parking the jeep without having everything stolen.

i learned so much at that job... just from interacting with unhoused folks. i learned that they were actually really nice folks mostly. some of them had various substance use or mental health challenges, but they were lovely and kind and even clever. i also learned that scary oilfield businessmen wearing expensive suits were complete assholes, especially to unhoused people.

yes hello i will be interviewing you for the position of senior engineer and this is my assistant BLÅHAJ who will be shadowing me today

they say "woke mind virus" but what they really mean is "empathy"

keep fedi horny.

call me a heretic if you must, but my vision of trans liberation is a world where everyone knows i am trans but they treat me nice anyway

one time early in my transition i said something like "oh im just being sensitive bitch" and the hottest doll i knew gave me a clap back like "sensitive bitches deserve kindness too" and idk it changed me

i started to think: why am i so worried about seeming sensitive? who benefits from me silencing my sensitivities?

the deeper i went the more interesting the answers got and it rippled out into so many things...

still working on embodying this all the time though because i am a bitch

im a work in progress ok

lol the centrist i was boosting ended up blocking me that's so fucking hilarious and on brand

centrists gettin mad when you don't agree with them the right way

they'd fit in so well with leftists! jeepers

once, my friends and i were caught by police when we were partying in the bush and they gave us tickets for underage drinking, possession of cannabis, etc etc.

for some reason i decided to give a fake name. completely on the spot i fabricated a whole fake identity, complete with a fake address.

everyone else got community service and punishment, but Keith Rutledge was nowhere to be found.

queer joy for today: reminiscing about how i asked my datemate @nova out a year ago today :heart_trans:

it's not our anniversary, though. we discussed very autistically and in extreme detail exactly what we each wanted out of a relationship and then talked about what we liked about each other. life goals. relationship goals. terminology.

we basically did a whole relationship smorgasbord...

then, in the morning, we agreed: i would be their girlfriend and they would be my datemate. :neodog_hug_cat_heart:
