How can I bribe you into helping me get a job in the industry, other than promising my undying love, which you already have <3

The industry is horrible and awful, low pay, long hours, no real chance of advancing.

Whenever people touring the station or new interns ask me for advice, I always tell them to change careers lol

well as you can see besides being ugly as all fuck I'm also extremely bitter so that doesn't help at all in making me appealing. but it also comes with the territory you see, being treated as a hideous freak of nature for your whole life kind of does things to your psyche.

also going into shit in the tags as an extreeeemely jaded individual who's been on every side of the discourse and KNOWS it all VERY PERSONALLY so I know many people will find all sorts of different reasons to hate me (if they want ig) because I'm ~politically homeless~ at this point because I'm sick and tired of everything but whatever

(also fuck I ran out of space in the tags so another post maybe idk. )

Watching RWBY Chibi for the first time for this essay and I'm in absolute agony. Do people actually find this funny?

help why is no one ever normal about me

what i think is the reason I'm Just Ken is a good/as popular as it is is because the way it somehow explores both what its like to be a woman and man just through ken.

like the line "I'm just Ken. Anywhere else I'd be a ten." just feels very hitting as a woman in a social media world, especially if you've seen the truerateme subreddits and the ways they judge women.

and of course the fragility and inability to find meaning/self worth outside of a romantic relationship due to the strict boxes placed on men and male relationships (and even friendships between men and women).

theres more and i know im getting annoying with the barbie posts but i did really like the movie, regardless of how "bland" its feminism is. also just all the chronically online feminists complaining about how basic it is, like oh should we tell everyone? Should we throw a party? should we invite andrea dworkin.

like is it perfect? no. does it lack in intersectionality and have poc characters act as the support to white characters? yes. should ken probably of apologized? yeah. but many things can be true about one movie.

the thing about taking advice from anyone on tiktok or instagram including catholic and christian type influencers, parenting advice, relationship advice, etc, or internalizing any stories of horrible relationships and betrayal people tell on those platforms, or reading about all the ways interpersonal relationships can end horribly and be cycled through extremely quickly on those platforms is that you are necessarily then consuming the thoughts and experiences of someone who is willing to put their face and name on a public social media platform to talk at you. and like 1% of those people have a good reason for doing so and the other 99% are completely unhinged. so everything you’re consuming has first gone through the filter of "is this person weird and insane enough to make Instagram reels of themselves crying?" and if the answer is yes maybe their advice doesn’t apply to your life because you’re a normal person who would not do that.

glorious 25th makes me think again about that one idea i once had for a discworld spinoff set in the future that would deal with the natural conclusion to the industrial revolution arc: communism comes to discworld

had the most braindead repetitive conversation/argument with my parents. buzz cuts are too masculine but if you dye a design on it it become effeminate which is bad because then you look weak and if youre weak then society falls apart (all societies ever that have fallen apart for any reason are actually because of feminine men) and we start sacrificing babies. and also all mental illness is invented because only 4 people had anxiety in the 90s and covid was made up so that we would all become gay and trans and then the government can control us better and be joe biden's little sex slaves. and also i need to keep my hair long because my father finds it attractive. what

i will admit that i think it is intrinsically a bit silly and embarrassing to claim that it is more surprising to encounter known wildlife than a thing that absolutely should not exist in any way at all. but, you know, survivable. especially if you are interpreting 'surprise' to instead mean something along the lines of "which thing causes you to immediately shriek and slam the door" or similar, in which case you're probably just objectively right to pick the walrus. absolutely close door on walrus. this makes sense as a stronger instinct to have than any specific reaction to an impossible but humanoid thing

however it's extremely goofy to post a defensive yet smug tumblr-wacky-anecdote-toned post about how actually, you're completely right to think animals are more surprising than things that don't exist, because how could an animal ever get to and then knock on a door??? what situation could ever exist where a knocking-like sound precedes an animal outside a door???? checkmate, literal atheists

hi!! i don’t really know where to ask this question, but i’ve been interested in spirituality and radical feminism in a while, and i wonder how radical feminism, which is based on material reality, can be compatible with spirituality? just wondering ^^

hello, that's a fair question and something i've tried responding to before on my main blog (femmesandhoney), but personally to me spirituality includes believing in the human experience as something we choose to partake in to learn lessons, reincarnation, and all of us being a part and a reflection of the universe's energy. there is no such thing as a "female/feminine" or "male/masculine" energy within spirit, the universe has dark and light energies but to gender it is a consequence of our human condition that we view it from here on earth (gender is bullshit, but especially gendering the fucking universal energies is so stupid to me).

anyways, while i believe all of that about our spiritual existences, we are all experiencing the human experience on earth. that includes being in a male or female body and all of human history and the mistreatment and subjugation of women throughout it. these beliefs are completely compatible to me because material reality such as sex is what every single person including myself is living with on earth. there's no way to ignore the conditions of earth while we're here lol, everything has its own laws in a way. or melanie martinez once called it a "field trip" which i always thought was an apt comparison. you gotta behave and play by the rules of the field trip you signed up for lol.

i'm on earth, my energy is tied to this body until i die, and my entire experience in this lifetime is unique because i have chosen to be a women in this lifetime for whatever reason, and being a women in this world comes with a lot of good and bad equally. so, i'm a feminist in this lifetime. my material reality is not lost on me just because i believe in there being more to the universe and our existence. to ignore my reality and the conditions of women under the patriarchy is just frankily stupid, i want every women now and in the future to be better off on this planet and it's not because of any spiritual thing like i want "good karma" or something, i just think women are important and men on this planet treat us fucking terribly. my spiritual and feminist beliefs don't really bother one another for these reasons.

i keep thinking about this scene and sydney talking about how all she wants is to cook for people and make them happy and season 2 when sydney says she wants a michelin star and carmy goes ??

like is it 1) her actual dream to have a star and she just kind of didn't think it was possible bc she was consumed with her catering failure and working with carmy made her think it could actually happen

or is it 2) the highest level of success in the food industry but not acTUally what she wants (and what she wants is actually much more in the vein of michael jordan's steakhouse which is not a michelin star place) ??
