hundreds of people have keys to my apartment and I got a text from my friend after work the other day telling me a couple of my buddies were hanging out there without me 😭 which. it is not the first time and like generally people have permission to do this but I did say like can we make an honest effort to reach me first bc I do live alone and so sometimes I leave things out like I don't expect people to be there without me when I leave the house in the morning ... and my friend said well we were actually admiring how you keep your space so clean that people can come in at any time :') I was immediately mollified bc this is genuinely something I take a lot of pride in

hello everyone! sorry to e-beg again but im currently in a bit of a bind lol. i lost my job a while back and yesterday i got a notice that i have until monday to pay two months of rent ($3,500). i do have two (2!) new jobs lined up, but they dont start for at least another week so i wont have any income coming in for the rest of may. this is why i have decided to start a gofundme campaign to ask for help.

im black, transgender, bisexual, and 5'2" so the cards are already stacked against me. please help in any way you can! even if u cant donate, sharing goes a long way.

BUT WAIT! what if you dont want me to stay? what if youre mad im even asking for this? consider donating to my campaign to send me to sierra leone instead! for $35,000 i will self-deport back to west africa where my family is from and stop leeching off of the american government and its rightful citizens.

i once had a conversation w someone trying to sell me case management software who kept telling me it would help us get more clients. we are a food bank. when our numbers go up it's a city-wide emergency

My dad raises grass-fed beef cattle and I help him sell it, mainly by maintaining an online presence. For a while, I kept having the most ridiculous conversations with people who I assume were marketing students. I didn't want to be rude so I'd try to let them down gently but this one guy just kept insisting that with his magical marketing skills he could grow our business.

What he could not seem to comprehend is that we could not grow our business, at least not without significant time and monetary investment. Cows take two years from pregnancy to the size that you can sell. If we buy adult cows, our margins become razor thin or even negative. Even if we somehow could acquire some cows, our barn and hay fields are already near maximum capacity. Renting another field would be relatively easy, building a bigger barn not so much.

Cows are living animals, they aren't widgets that can be produced infinitely. Besides that, many businesses inherently cannot grow, because if they do they'll become something else. The delicious bakery down the street cannot produce much more than they do, if they began mass marketing and production they'd eventually be selling the equivalent of Twinkies. We grow grass-fed, organic beef, if we expanded how long would that last? Eventually we'd become the very factor farms that we hate. Some things can only ever be made on a small scale and they are usually the best things.

But also, what are they teaching them at marketing school and how is it so disconnected from reality?
