Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.
I once worked in an office where I was the only Jewish person. They wanted to hold a meeting about "being aware of other religions and their Holidays" and asked that I speak about Judaism. I had to say no because the meeting was being held on Yom Kippur
god what a mood
@iliveinprocrasti-nationn real!! i remember something similar, in one course, with the number of classes we were allowed to miss before it impacted our grade. i tried to argue that if i used them for the holidays, i wouldn’t have any left in case i got sick. they were like “well, the point is you can use it for whatever you want, so if you choose to use it for holidays, it’s still fair.” but it’s not, because the christian students didn’t need to choose between taking off holidays and having off days left!
similarly, while i’m aware that jews in a workplace setting who use pto to take off all the holidays end up using up a ton of their pto, i never really questioned the system itself until i learned that in israel, christians and muslims can take off for holidays without it subtracting from their pto total.
My work has a type of PTO called “flex holidays” and the number you get is equivalent to the number of corporate observed federal holidays your location doesn’t close. (The reason for this being that most of our locations are laboratories that can’t close fully ever, so if a site operates a standard holiday as a business day, they don’t have to pay holiday pay or finagle the schedule to accomodate a lot of people being off). I was kvetching to a friend at work about having to use my vacation & flex time for observing the various Jewish holidays and a different coworker was like “but that’s what flex time is for! So people can choose which holidays they want off or just take a random day like their birthday off instead!” And I had to explain to this lady who was at least a decade older than me that no, that wasn’t really how it worked. Because we all got off for Christmas after all, I couldn’t switch and take Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur off instead if I wanted to. So she would get her holiday off automatically and still have the same amount of flex time as me and could use it for vacation or to take off when her child’s school has an in-service day or whatever. And that on top of that, there literally wasn’t enough flex time for me to take all the holidays you aren’t supposed to work off, I had to use my vacation time for that or work anyway. Miraculously, this actually got through to her and she agreed it wasn’t fair, especially since our company gives veterans the option to take veterans’ day off every year without using PTO at all. Unfortunately, complaints to corporate remain ignored on the basis of “well if we let you take Jewish holidays off without using PTO, we’d have to do that for everyone!” Which no, you’d only have to do it for all religious holidays and we already close for the major Christian ones. Not to mention, I still can’t take off on veterans’ day because I’m not a vet and I’m not sure how letting the handful or less of Jewish employees at each location take at minimum Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur off without using PTO would be an issue given that, to the best of my knowledge, the company employees more military vets than Jews.
The first office job I held, my boss told me that I couldn’t have off for Yom Kippur because I just had off for Rosh Hashanah and was making it up. Even though, you know, the holidays have been eight days apart for millennia.
I’m now afraid to take off for the HHD because I never know which bosses will be okay with it and which ones won’t.
“We can’t follow legally required religious inclusion for you, or we’ll need to follow our legal and ethical obligations to people of ALL religions”
“YES MAYBE YOU SHOULD!”
Some jobs you can choose to work at Xmas and Easter and take the time off another time, which is close to fair. (Not perfect because sometimes you can’t work as well by yourself, but a big step in the right direction.) If you can’t, then that’s not fair – sometimes that’s genuinely unavoidable but often the person in charge just doesn’t want to bother considering it

Really glad predictive text exists. Should i bring my own parking lot
armand’s exes complaining about him being a needy bottom or whatever is pissing me off. fine i’ll do it since you’re all so fucking complicated
it’s still so wild that I managed to find my mom’s lost cat. but also, hyper obsessive autists get things done!!!! every single morning for months, I would check a series of local facebook groups, until finally she got spotted in a campsite. then from the time I saw that post, it took about 24 hours to organize her retrieval. and now she’s back to being a house cat! after being lost in the woods all spring and all summer! death via coyote is canceled, she will live into her 20’s and be a pivotal memory for my niece and nephew, who always ask on facetime to see her
we love you Curie!
here at frito lays company building, we have always belueved that organic life is aplague upon this world that must be eradicated at all costs

HATE when u can feel ur intestines writhing. cease your wriggling insolent belly worm
WHEN do you ever feel that
the worms yearn for escape
When my son was about to turn two, strangers would offer condolences. There’s a collective cultural dread of toddlers, who get described more like animals than people. Kids in their "terrible twos," I was warned, are illogical, unregulated, and feral. "Good luck," people would say. "He'll grow out of it."
I'm lucky: My son is a very easygoing kid. But I remember the first tantrum he threw for me. He was standing by our front door and asked to go outside. So I opened the door and grabbed his shoes. But as soon as he stepped onto the porch, he pointed back into the house.
"Inside," he said.
"Okay," I said. I picked him up and brought him inside.
But as soon as I shut the front door, he pointed outside.
"Outside!" he said.
You know where this is going. We went back and forth, inside and outside, again and again. He got more frustrated. And I got more frustrated. Eventually he wound up straddling the threshold of our house, sobbing. When I tried to comfort him, he screamed at me. "You go wherever you want!" I said. He just got madder. I felt trapped, convinced he’d concocted the whole episode as a pretext to unleash his rage at me. It was ridiculous. I consoled myself with the thought that he was just being a toddler.
But later I kept thinking about him wailing at our front door, one foot inside, one foot outside. His misery wasn't unreasonable, or trivial, or silly. My son was experiencing the agony of wanting two things that were impossible to have at the same time. What a fundamentally human sorrow! My son wasn't being a toddler; he was being a person. Adults may not walk around howling, but that same pain rages within us. In that moment, as a father, I was powerless to solve my son's problem. I told him he could go wherever he wanted, but of course I was wrong. To be where he wanted was impossible.

at that period of my life where im legitimately crying over seeing robustly funded lower transportation and educational systems in a documentary on rural life in different countries
I love how Zohran Mamdani is wearing a suit everywhere. And if he has anything else he puts it ON TOP of the suit. A basketball jersey. A high-vis vest. All worn over the suit. He’s like the mayor character in a cartoon who’s always dressed as The Mayor. If I didn’t know who he was and he biked past me in NYC I’d be like holy shit was that the mayor
Not to bring the serious to a very fun post, but this reaction is exactly what Mamdani is working for with his image, because in a very real way the most effective way for him to be The Mayor is if he looks like The Mayor.
This is a man who is VIOLENTLY aware that when it comes to conservatives, he is a Muslim first, a Brown Man second, an Immigrant third, a Socialist fourth, and a human a very distant fifth, if considered at all. He was also a young adult during the Obama Years and will have seen Republicans rip Obama to shreds for wearing a tan suit instead of a dark one and use literally ANY excuse they could to try and degrade his image.
Despite the fact that a mayor who wears a T-shirt and jeans might "seem more approachable" in the eyes of the average American, Zohran Mamdani knows that someone with his profile fundamentally cannot get away with that the way his White colleagues can. He has instead put in the effort to look professional and BE approachable, because not only does it make it easier for him to reach and represent his constituents, it forces everyone, including both his opponents and establishment Democrats, to engage with the work he is doing instead of judging his image. The fact that he is always seen in a suit and is recognisably The Mayor is, while also something he has fun with, a deliberate choice to ensure he is as inarguably A Professional Politician To Be Taken Seriously. The added humour of e.g. the hi-vis is a bonus, only achievable because he works so hard to Look Like The Mayor.
Adding these tags from @haunted-stranger-garden bc they illustrate this brilliantly
Today he jumped into and swam around in a city pool, in part because Bloomberg would jump in on opening day every year (and then de Blasio and Adams refused to do so). And yes, in a suit— business suit, not swimsuit, purchased from goodwill for pool purposes— just to confirm that the Mayor Costume stays on in ALL public appearances
