I have some news for members of the united states armed forces who feel like they are pawns in a political game and their assignments being unnecessary.

Do you care if your politics turn off republican followers?

@ republican followers

@ transphobes

@ racists and sexists

@ this administration, and other fascists

While I am thankful people like what I post and reblog, and I'm genuinely thankful for the friendships I've made.

But when it comes to standing on business, 10 toes down, standing up for what's right through thick and thin, saying it with my chest...

Anon, I'm a gay male December Sagittarius - did you really expect any different? December Sagittariuses didn't just write one-off books on both loyalty and stubbornness. We went on whole damn book tours, plural, about that shit.

Once a December Sagittarius decides they like you and are going to both stick with, and stick up for you, brother, that's IT it. That's a wrap.

Republican followers, and all the rest of them...I hope you're in just enough of a traffic jam to make you just late enough for work tomorrow to get you written up for attendance. I wish you hot coffee spilled all over your clean clothes. If you got somewhere urgent to be tomorrow, may you hit every red light in fucking town. May a hidden cop be waiting on your ass at the school zone. May you accidentally overcharge yourself at the self-checkout, at the supermarket. May Chick-fil-A get your order wrong, and you have to go walk inside. May ice melt in your cold drinks and water them down sourly.

Get the hell off my page, and stay out.

I work retail, and have for many years now. I'm not an easily fazed person and have a Talk No Shit, Take No Shit mentality. However, I also have a pretty intense anxiety disorder on top of other mental health issues and when I started 6+ years ago there were some customers who got to me.

So, to all the workers facing Karens and Kens out in the wild, here's my advice - cry.

If you have the type of relationships with your coworkers and managers that will support you, don't try to hold it in. Cry like the overworked, underpaid peon you are.

Nothing terrifies an asshole Karen like the indisputable proof that their actions/words are affecting you as a real live person. They feel perfectly entitled to cuss out a cashier over a wrong order/no cash policy/ face mask mandate but when that person starts to cry and asks them why they'd say such mean things? A whole other story, my friend.

There's no way to make that situation look good to the manager they demanded to speak with, either. My manager literally got a security guard fired for being so verbally abusive he made one of her employees cry.

This strategy has multiple benefits -

1. You're not standing there trying to pen up your emotions, crying is a great physical release for negative emotions and you may very well feel somewhat better afterwards.

2. The person who precipitated the situation is forced to not only see you as a person with feelings, but also has to confront the fact that their abuse has consequences beyond themselves.

3. It can actually give your higher-ups leverage to address these situations. 'They yelled at my employee' is one thing, but 'They yelled at my employee until they were in tears' is a waaaaay worse offense. A good manager can use that. Hell, it can get a security guard fired!

tl;dr: We live in a capitalist hell but we can work the system and cry at work to shame awful customers
