on colors and being different and not being enough for yourself

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

they’ll evict you in your own language, they’ll gender you correctly as they cage you, they’ll look resigned as they infiltrate and bomb you, will say it’s for your own good, for the sake of your own freedom. liberalism is a polite knife.
