Over twenty years ago my big brother got me a job at a Taco Bell in the St. Louis suburbs-West County. He warned me that it was the “gay Taco Bell”, but since I was coming from the “gay Howard Johnson’s” I wasn’t shocked. It turns out it was the black trans women Taco Bell complete with black trans women in management. And they’d worked out an arrangement with the local teen Narcotics Anonymous group so that twice a week we would shut down the drive thru and the dining room and exclusively serve 60+ teens in various stages of recovery. And many of the women I worked with were in various stages of being out or transitioning and they were from all generations from teens to over 50. One woman I worked with had a regular corporate job presenting as a man 9-5 Mon-Fri and then came to Taco Bell and worked 6pm -2am Friday and Saturday night so she could be herself surrounded by other black transwomen in those stolen weekends. And we had customers come from all over the metro area because they knew they could be themselves in the dining room. I only worked there from 1999-2001 but for young me, this was a vital, formative experience. Some of the girls came from north city all the way out to the “gay Taco Bell” on Manchester in west county because they heard it was safe to work there. Like- I know times have changed but they haven’t changed much in 20 years. I’m still convinced that for lgbt youth, finding a job at your city’s version of the “gay Taco Bell” is key to survival.

Thank u for sharing this with us

i bet it feels good as fuck to intend to do something and then actually do it

there are too many things happening this summer that i'm thinking we are going to need an extra 6-12 months of june and possibly another 3-4 months of july. probably no extra august as the problem should hopefully sort itself out by then. we are also looking into extending the day night cycle to 55 hours and extending the human lifespan to 10000 years.

I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

you should be able to go home early if youre a little tired and want to smoke weed

Fuuuck I just loss 20000 dollars in adverisement revenue and potential sales when that guy over there didn’t look at my flyer because he was talking to the girl he was walking with. The sensible option here is to ban talking while walking since it’s literally theft.

does anyone know how to respond when people text you

star wars is about coruscant

every part of star wars, from the poverty of the outer rim to the separatist movement to the formation of the empire in reaction to the breakdown of republic control over the galaxy, is a consequence of the existence of a planetary megarome so specialized it cannot function without thousands of client states. once the empire falls the new republic can either (a) speedrun the late-republic-to-empire transition again just to hold itself together or (b) splinter into its constituent parts along the same fracture lines that caused the clone wars, in which case the fallout of coruscant losing the position of power that guarantees the massive imports necessary to sustain a population of trillions on a planet with no natural biosphere should be apocalyptic. either your post-rotj story is about that or it is about the inevitable new fascist movement arising from the galactic core acting in the interests of its own survival before that power slips away. the sequels are nonsensical because they do not understand this. what the fuck is hosnian prime

coruscant stands on the shoulders of billions of enslaved chromium miners

people are like you just need to apply to 10 jobs a day meanwhile each of the jobs want you to write them 1500 words of uniquely tailored sycophancy & then manually input your cv into their custom application form 3 different times
