Anywhere In Time and Space

*traditional is a flawed term that im using here for the sake of brevity, not because i agree with it or think its valid. think the things that your capitalist uncle would consider "a real job" (even if he may not respect it); anything in a physical office, but also healthcare workers, teachers, secretarial work, cleaning staff, childcare workers, professional athletics, etc. *non-traditional would be the opposite, aka things your capitalist uncle would not consider to be "a real job". this does not mean i think your job is not real or valid, it means it is outside of the bounds of what modern society deems traditional and you've faced unique struggles as a result. artists and creatives who live on commissions, any kind of influencer, sex workers etc. are examples of what should go here.

Terfs and Radfems are slightly different, they just have a lot of overlap

"The patriarchy has a negative impact on men in a way that fosters a hostile environmen for women", "the patriarchy is bad for all genders", and "men as human beings are not fundamentally different from women" are not contradictory statements

I'm anti terf AND anti radfem

Anyway I'm in the middle of yammering about this when I realize the woman at the checkout counter, who I believe also owns the place, is glaring daggers at me. I am autistic. I am not good at noticing or correctly identifying death glares. This was obvious enough for me to pick up. I falter to an awkward stop, midsentence, and there is a moment of dead silence.

Then she snaps, "well the copper is natural. It has the natural properties of copper."

(Again, it was blue, so it actually had "the natural properties" of cobalt, whatever that means. Mostly it is glass, and has the properties of glass.)

I wasn't insulting the aventurine! I was being very enthusiastic about it! If anything I was doing an impromptu sales pitch, pointing out how the irregularly distributed glittering crystals in the blue-black glass created a sense of depth that made it look like stars in a low-light night sky, talking about how difficult it is to make and what an interesting history it has! But she was so mad.
