asleep at my desk

apologies to anyone who ever thought i was cool and reached out to me only to discover i am just a weird little hermit who can't carry on a conversation to save my life

pretty sure i just lost my editing gig to ai. hate and fucking war on planet earth.

like they've already made it very clear by a) ghosting me for months and b) getting my colleagues to train their stupid new ai. like i only know about this because one of my colleagues tipped me off. i imagine they're waiting to get it working before they formally let me go and fuck that. i am literally drafting my resignation lmao

ex-boss backtracked and ended up asking me if i'd come back not as a freelance contractor but on an actual employment basis.

shoutout to all the people reblogging the version of this before my rejection letter. and especially shoutout to those people saying they're happy for me and that there's justice on this earth. i regret to inform you that my version of justice means choosing violence.

This is a thing of beauty

there are some movies where people will be like “I think it needed more female characters :/” but I think the lack of female characters makes complete sense because this is dumbass guy behavior. this is a fool’s plot that the average woman would have handled better or totally avoided. the hubris of men was a core element of the film. not that women cannot be blinded by their own hubris but there is a reason guys are more likely to die in bizarre freak ‘accidents’. I say this as a man. it’s why horror movies with a final girl make sense, a 22 year old guy would be sooooo certain he could take the slasher in combat and die badly.

in a misogynistic society, men are taught from birth that they should be able to dominate others automatically, they often develop the false impression that they are untouchable and capable of defeating any threat. women are repeatedly reminded that they can be harmed and told it is their fault if they are harmed, that makes them more likely to be risk aware and risk averse. again, I’m not saying women cannot do risky things and make boneheaded choices, I’m just saying that it makes more sense for a bunch of men to go on a failed expedition and start killing each other. because they keep doing that.

it’s why the horror trope of the wife repeatedly telling her husband there is something wrong with their new house/they are in danger and the husband totally discounting her worries makes so much sense, similar things happens in real life every day

i try not to let myself get ragebaited by AI but i hate AI fake animal photography. the beautiful animals of the world are there for us to see and you show me air brushed sparkly big eye cyber slop instead? i hate you

These things are principally the job of the child’s parent or guardian, but in some cases directing the child to that caregiver is difficult or impossible (parent refuses/confuses the child, parent is absent, child’s questions are specific and relevant to a situation their parent was not present for, etc.) so I think all adults should be prepared to have these conversations with kids.

it's actually crazy like kind of unbelievable how much racism ppl just expect you to put up with to be polite. like i have so many little experiences where a friend-of-a-friend said something awful and racist to me and i am very clearly hurt and upset and then the friend just expects me to be polite and not say anything not react not even be angry. like when ur not white ur never allowed to be angry. if ur angry ur being too aggressive. you never get to expect an apology, either. expecting an apology for the racist way people hurt you is always asking too much. you never get an apology. you never get to be angry. you never get to say it hurt you. you're just supposed to pretend you didn't hear it, didn't read it, didn't notice. you let things go because it's the only way to have friends.
