one of the really upsetting things about this amendment is that people think it both validates their overblown response (it shouldn't) and vindicates their belief that the initial decision was made out of greed and not necessity.
so earnestly i hope for the sake of watcher, and for all of us, that it WAS made out of greed tbh, because if they have just walked back a decision that would have kept their company afloat then nobody has won, not even any of you who spent the weekend having a tantrum that you'd lost your 'comfort shows'

people really out here saying you have to be polite and not tell some stupid ass celebrity to eat shit and die as if talking about your extermination and the systematic destruction of your culture that still goes on is some 'issue' where you 'don't agree on.' it's nice that its just a topic over thanksgiving dinner for you all. the fact that we can talk about other's people deaths in this way is exactly why liberalism is a fucking sham.
thinking to post a fucking thesis statement in place of a simple tweet that says stop fucking killing innocent people, stop bombing, this is murder and wrong, really shows you how this is just a gymnastic exercise where these cunts still try to stay palpable with capitalists.
many natives attempted to be reasonable with settlers and they still suffered the same fates as those that chose to fight. there is no amount of politeness or reasonableness that can serve as an adequate medium to those intent on exploiting you.

Had an interview yesterday for a pretty competitive course and the guy started off with congratulating me for getting to the interview round and then not letting me speak, like literally cutting me off after every sentence and huffing and making surprised faces after every answer i gave him. don't select me, that's fine. at least don't make me feel bad about myself :(

i understand i am on the Autism Website, but i say this as an autistic bitch myself. can we re-normalize tact? of knowing when not to say something because it's a sore subject for your conversation partner? of doing whatever we can to lessen the sting if the subject must be addressed? seriously what happened to tact you guys used to love tact

Idek what the drama is actually about bestie. The fact he's allegedly dating someone? Or the people he's supposedly with?
i’m with you anon, i don’t really get it. people just love to create drama
none of these things are shocking either? for as long as i’ve been following him, he’s been hanging around some questionable people, he’s gone on ridiculous rich people adventures, and - i would just have to assume even though this is truly the least relevant part of it all - has been hooking up with whoever tf he wants. 🤷♀️

TW: discussion of threats of sexual assault/rape, rape, and physical assault
Rant time! So I just got finished reading a fanfic where the MC got threatened with sexual assault, and when they refused to be raped, got beaten up (due to Reasons, no rape actually occurred). Now, when the Love Interest learns about this, they end up kissing (which then transitions into making out) the MC in an effort to comfort them, and for some reason, it works. The MC calms down and wow! It turns out both the MC and the Love Interest have liked each other for a while and this is the perfect moment to discover this! My guys, in what world would this 1. Be an acceptable response to learning your crush almost got sexually assaulted and 2. End in anything other than (at best) the Love Interest getting slapped/pushed away or (at worst) the MC silently letting it happen while someone they trusted reaffirms that their comfort and happiness is not the priority? And this isn’t even the first fanfic I’ve read where this or something similar happens. In fact, this isn’t even the first piece of media I’ve ever seen that has similar themes or messages? It happens in fanfics, YA novels, James Bond movies (according to my mom, who expressed a similar grievance when she told me about the only James Bond movie she’s ever seen), and probably almost all romance adjacent types of media (not that every piece of romance media has this in every single thing, but if a type of media has a romance genre, then some of those probably have this in it). Why? Seriously, why does this happen so frequently? (Idk how frequently it actually happens, I could be experiencing some Confirmation Bias, but the fact that it happens at all is gross). Has anyone else experienced this same frustration? Idk it just made me mad and I had to get it out of my system

two slight personal updates:
one, still haven't heard back from the library job yet. they only finished interviews on wednesday and said that within the next week they'll let me know so fingers cross i get it.
i also found out that 74 ppl applied for this job, which… holy shit. but, they only had 20 some odd interviews bc those were the times they allowed me to choose from. so… idk, something about that kinda makes me happy to know that i was finalist without even knowing.
and if i don't get it, it will suck, but i just gotta keep my head up and look for a new one somewhere.
secondly, i just found out last night that my ex best friend blocked me on twitter 🤪
i muted her a couple months back, bc i didn't have the heart to unfollow her bc in my mind that would really mean severing the tie between us. i mean, we've literally been following one another since we were 15/16 years old, and i know it's silly, but i thought at the very least we could still follow one another even if we weren't on speaking terms.
i muted her a while back bc she was liking a lot of things about friendships and everything else and it was just pissing me off. so for the sake of my sanity, i just muted her.
but then i looked her up last night, bc i haven't paid attention to her since then, and i saw that she blocked me. so… i blocked her back.
i also made her unfollow me on insta, and i privated my account, that way she can't see me at all. which i know will annoy the shit out of her bc that's what she was like when we were friends. if there was someone that had her blocked but not me, then she would always ask me to check on that person so she could see their account. and now, she won't be able to do that at all.
and that just tickles me pink lol
