“nobody wants to work anymore” and then you get autorejected by the AI reading your resume before it ever reaches a human because it doesn’t contain the right buzzword. “nobody wants to work anymore” and you have to submit a cover letter but you get instantly rejected anyway for answering a question the wrong way. no they won’t tell you what the right way is. “nobody wants to work anymore” but companies are posting fake job postings to look like they’re growing to impress investors. “nobody wants to work anymore” but you get ghosted only to be rejected six months later by an automated email. “nobody wants to work anymore” I hope you are ejected into the void of space

Successful trans men

I wish I knew about men like these growing up, I wish I knew that trans men could be successful after a lifetime of never seeing anyone ‘like me’ excelling in life. So here are some trans men - some that you may have heard of, some that you may not - that are successful in a range of careers. Never let being trans hold you back, never think you can’t do something, never think there is not a place for you.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

The Takeout

Everything Tastes Worse Than It Used To

You've heard of shrinkflation, but what about skimpflation?

YEP. Not surprised in the least.

Skimpflation is a nice word for it.

The basic gist for those that can't click the link right now, is that nope, you're NOT nuts, they really are cutting bits out of recipes and, mostly, replacing it with more water!

It's like great depression household rationing and stretching but at the manufacturer's level. And the price is going UP, not down.

I picked my url because I hate the status-quo.

I hate price gouging, I hate AI, I hate stupid internet discourse, I hate shitty car-centric infrastructure, I hate fast fashion, I hate the meat industry, I hate inaccessibility, I hate corporate food waste, I hate the wealth disparity, I hate needing to work two jobs to live, I hate the police, I hate republicans, I hate the American two-party system, I hate education inequality, I hate homophobia and purity culture, I hate systematic racism and racists, I hate the patriarchy and misogyny, I hate the anti-trans culture war that threatens me and my partner and my friends, I hate the sex binary, I hate the gender binary, I hate cisnormative heteronormative, perisexnormative everything, I hate institutional violent intersexism, I hate white supremacy, I hate the fact my family members might be deported, I hate the erasure of some marginalized groups, I hate the violent hypervisibility of other marginalized groups, I hate war, I hate Donald Trump, I hate Netanyahu, I hate Biden and Kamala and every other politician, I hate neoliberalism, I hate colonialism, I hate capitalism, I hate imperialism, I hate fascism, I hate genocide.

And I hate that wanting to change this is fringe and radical. I hate that this is just accepted as normal. I hate that it seems like everyone gave up on a better world.

got a major pest problem this year actually

doing normal stuff while listening to metal is so funny because I'm eating cereal and this guy is screaming at me

I love being trans.

And I'll always love it, even if I find out I'm not.

I'll never regret chasing such a beautiful dream like forming the self to what you want to see, no matter what others say or do.

I am beautiful.

Being trans is beautiful.

Being trans is strength a million times over.

I love you Trans People! We are stars and to stars we will return, bright and shining!! 🌟

I am in love with every aspect of me and every aspect of you, and we will live tans hand in trans hand forever.
