Employer red flags to look for in interviews:

1. You tell them you want the job because you feel like you’re choking on your dead wife’s ghost and they hire you.

german discord users are suddenly getting banned from discord en masse

this is the top post of reddit right now. it is unclear what is happening other than it seems discord has fucked up badly.

if you have a german IP and are logged out of discord, consider not logging in for a bit. if you have a VPN that can be set to germany, consider setting it to literally anywhere else for a bit.

if you get banned from a german IP today, send in a support ticket to discord. although it is not clear what exactly is happening, people are getting their accounts back.

it's important to mock and belittle military and law enforcement to signal to others that these are not respectable professions, both to dissuade entry and to devalorize the institutions in the public eye

it is genuinely bewildering to me that adult human beings do not know this but if you are mean to people they will not like you. like tbh they are probably also not going to like you if you are mean to other people but they are definitely not going to like you if you are mean to them. it doesn’t matter if you are funny or if you can use r/aita rules to prove that you are in the right. people simply so not enjoy being treated like shit.

hello again (bill clinton limewire voice) my fellow americans

There are a few states that actually have Shield/Refuge laws designed to help trans people fleeing from trans-unsafe states, which also guarantee trans folks access to healthcare. These states are:

California

Colorado

Illinois

Oregon

Vermont

Washington

Minnesota

New Mexico

Maine

Massachusetts

Rhode Island

Connecticut

Washington D.C.

Additionally, some states have "trans sanctuary" executive orders signifying safety for trans folks seeking healthcare. These states are:

Maryland

New Jersey

New York

Living as a resident in these states means you are protected by state's rights and state government to continue or begin receiving trans healthcare. These laws have been codified in their states so everything has been a-ok'd by their state governments.

Stay alive. You got this. I love you.

❤️ HELP A NEWBORN BABY IN GAZA ❤️

This is my friend Hamada and his baby nephew, Ghaith, who was born only a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately, both him and his mother are alright, which is unfortunately not always the case for new mothers and babies in Gaza.

It’s a blessing that they’re both healthy, so I come to you with the simple plea to help them stay that way. As I’m sure you’ve heard, the cost of things like diapers and food has risen terrifyingly high. Baby Ghaith doesn’t even have a bed right now.

Please pitch in if you can, at the very least share this post — they’re $8 away from $1,500 (7.5% of their goal) so let’s try to hit $2,000 this Halloweekend! Thank you!!!

$1,492/$2,000 (short term goal)

i need everyone to know that community is what will save us all in every single way imaginable. you forming a bond with your neighbour or coworker might help them move house or feel less alone or have the courage to leave an unhealthy living environment. you helping a stranger might provide them with hope. in turn, being able to lean on your community in times of need will save you. your broader bonds with your community are the revolution we need. our society seeks to divide and separate us in so many ways but we are all so much more united in our struggles and joys than you are made to believe. we need to hold onto each other very tightly.

you don't need me to explain to you how stressful midterms can be, so i won't. but i will ask you to imagine the stress of it all, with the added knowledge that even with all the preparations you can make, all the studying and revising you can go through, you can be prevented from taking the exam altogether.

MAHMOUD HAS SIX DAYS TO PAY HIS FEES OF $800 OR ELSE HE WON'T BE ABLE TO SIT FOR HIS MIDTERMS REMOTELY. HE WON'T PASS THIS SEMESTER!

my friend mahmoud @ma7moudgaza2 is a very diligent student. even with all the pressure on his shoulders to keep himself and his family afloat, and surviving the daily horrors of genocide in gaza, he's constantly trying to focus on his studies.

sometimes when i'm studying and i'm stressed i receive a message or voice note from him and it dawns on me how it must feel. if i am so nervous here from the safety of my home, how awful it must be for gazan students.

can't we take a small percentage of this stress of a fellow students' shoulder?

with all the talk about DIY HRT, let’s also talk about stocking up on mifepristone and misoprostol (the abortion pills). it’s worth knowing the right dosages, how to use it safely, and keeping some on hand. better to have it and not need it than the other way around. the shelf life is (at least) five years.

having abortion pills accessible is just as vital as HRT, especially with both potentially at risk of restricted access.

getting them in advance can be life-saving for you and others around you.

if you are trans & struggling with suicide ideation: I have personally had a good experience with Trans Lifeline when I was suicidal and needed help, and I have friends who credit it with saving their lives. the caveat is that it is an extremely in-demand service and your call might not be answered; there are times when I've called and been unable to get through, but here's the link to their website if you need it

yo hey US people who sent in absentee ballots, they are tossing mail-in ballots for no reason. i just had to call my county board of elections and demand a cure for my ballot because north carolina didn't send out any notices of issues with ballots, and the issues are fake. if you voted by mail-in make sure your ballot was actually counted
