things keeping me together this week as I prepare for a brutal Milton exam and a philosophy final that's about to kick my backside:
that blessed sandwich and the fond memory of it
friends at the dorm and the shenanigans we get up to while studying and after studying
matcha lavender latte my beloved (I am running out of money to spend frivolously at coffee shops) (I have not been regularly spending money at coffee shops all semester so it feels justifiable to have Little Treats during exam season)
the promise of a SECOND SANDWICH !!!! on Friday (a personal gift to moi)
prospect of sleep

Habakkuk's Complaint
Therefore the law is ineffective, / And justice never goes forth; / For the wicked one encompasses the righteous one, / Therefore justice goes forth perverted.

Finally some common sense news
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Transgender women are not eligible for menstrual leave as they do not have uteruses and do not menstruate, the Ministry of Labor (MOL) said on Thursday (Feb. 10).
CNA reported that after a transgender woman recently applied to take a menstrual day off at her company, the company was unsure of whether she was eligible and asked the local government. The local government passed the question on to the MOL, which consulted the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW).
The MOHW responded to the MOL with an explanation from the Taiwan Association of Obstetrics and Gynecology (TAOG), that transgender women who have received gender reassignment surgery and officially registered their changed sex do not have uteruses and do not menstruate. Since the purpose of the menstrual leave is to provide relief to those who may suffer physical discomfort at work while menstruating, the policy does not apply to transgender women as they do not go through the experience.
According to the Act of Gender Equality in Employment, female employees may legally apply to take one day off for menstrual leave each month if they experience menstruation-related discomfort that prevents them from working. The employees do not need to provide any documentation to apply, and employers may not refuse, issue a penalty, or deem the day off as an absence that affects the employee’s attendance bonus or performance evaluation.
CNA cited the MOL as saying that there is no age limit to employees eligible for the menstrual leave, therefore older women may also take a day off each month as needed. Meanwhile, for women whose uterus or ovary has been removed due to health concerns, as long as the employee still ovulates and experiences discomfort due to hormonal changes, she is eligible for the menstrual leave.

tell me about stone butch blues secondo
covers my face. i did ask for this.
anyway i think secondo is transmasc in the sbb way and was a pretty butch kid too so nihil was an inattentive enough parent that he legit never realized he was raising a lesbian. and i think secondo has extremely complicated feelings about this because he wants to be able to acknowledge himself as a lesbian but he also knows the ministry is not super cool about women being papa. and nihil specifically is like. mr "liking femdom makes me a feminist" and he fundamentally thinks women have specific roles in the ministry. so it's just this weird like. constant on-guard kind of attitude that secondo has to have in order to preserve the life he wants. which, imo, is why he has a more serious stage presence than terzo and copia after him. because he has probably seen some shit and also thinks he has more to lose. anyway secondo isn't dead he's. fine. he's out someplace living with his trans drag queen girlfriend. even sbb got a happy ending right. r

it was kind of wild for me as a child realizing that a lot of people had ministers with wives and children because my entire exposure was gay episcopal priests and my grandparents' catholic priests so i was like THEY CAN HAVE WIVES?

Ye Have Many Skilled Men
You have many workers such as stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and all kinds of craftsmen of gold, silver, bronze, and iron—without limit. So get started, and may the Lord be with you!
