so. i just learned that my entirely me-written resume flags as being AI-written by automated HR systems for a few writing quirks and the fact that i followed all the rules of good resume writing, which is apparently a telltale sign of AI use in this fucking hellworld. i've been desperately applying to jobs that i am massively overqualified for for months with no response, not even an interview, and now i find out that at least part of the reason is because some fucking moron decided that following the rules every career advisor has given me for a decade means i cheated and should be disqualified. the ai bubble cannot pop soon enough. what the actual fuck.

"frequent use of action-result sentences. bullet points all start with action verbs. no career gaps." girl what the fuck are you talking about. that's just resume writing advice being followed. i just did what i was told. it's a fucking resume. you're supposed to do all that stuff. what the fuck do you mean it looks ai generated and wouldn't pass basic detection systems?????????? for following the resume writing rules????????????

wishing every AI bro and ceo a very [REDACTED]

I've recently had white women in professional contexts tell me that they were quote "hurt" and "gutted" by what amounted to very minor professional faux pas on my part. I remember reading a white woman academic's essay on Jane Eyre that began with recounting her emotional upset upon having Jane Eyre "taken away from her" by postcolonial / anti-racist scholarship. white women's emotions do have currency in personal and professional spaces in selective contexts, i.e. when wielded against people of colour 🤷🏽‍♀️

halfway through the week and still only at $50 I am so so sorry to spam y'all but I am desperate

Come on guys! We can do this! Please help get my friend out of debt!

Just shared 15 of what has been shared with me today. Please match me

For anyone looking an explanation of the historical and contemporary tensions between the Black and Asian American community, and how that, too, is structural and fueled to benefit white supremacy. Proximity to Whiteness will never be Whiteness!

My 16yo grandson 1st told me about this case. I was furious af especially seeing him put the bottles of water back as caught on security recording. HE DIDN'T STEAL SHIT. He walked out calmly but when 2 grown ass men began chasing him, he ran. He was NOT A THREAT IF HE WAS SHOT IN THE MOTHERFUCKING BACK! That motherfucker mad at black people who are angry & tells us to boycott their restaurants, stores, gym shoes, beauty supply stores, clothing is fkn stupid af. Ignorant motherfucker If we STOP BUYING KOREAN & CHINESE products your asses will suffer, not us. We made Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Timberland cool everyone copies us our style, our lingo, our music, our dance styles, our fashion sense! We made that ball cap on his head cool. Fuck him and everyone who thinks like him. Oh and by the way, it was Asians who joined forces with yt supremacists who bitched about AFFIRMATIVE ACTION in education & causing the laws that gave us a foot in the door to the halls of education we had been denied entry to even though we built many of the institutions by our blood sweat & tears. They were forbidden entry to WHITE COLLEGES too but it was a BLACK COLLEGE WHO LET THEM IN (HOWARD), ONLY TO BE LEFT OUT OF THE NARRATIVE BY A KOREAN BOY BAND GLORIFYING THE KOREANS WHILE DISMISSING THE BLACKS. I AM SO MOTHERFKN TIRED OF MOTHRFKRS BENEFITTING FROM WHAT WE'VE FOUGHT, BLED & DIED FOR & HAVE NOTHING BUT HATE FOR US! THE DECK HAS ALWAYS BEEN STACKED AGAINST US, ALWAYS! I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF OUR KIDS BEING KILLED BECAUSE OF RACISTS WHO GO FREE! A FUCKING BOTTLE OF WATER IS MORE VALUABLE THAN A 14YO BOYS LIFE? FUCK YOU, YOU DEMONS.

i cannot emphasize enough how important it is that you should ideally give birth in a fully equipped and staffed medical facility or if you insist on giving birth through an alternative method you should be within minutes of a hospital and i mean under 5 minutes if you’d like me to be really fucking frank

like i can get on board with so much feminist theory and stuff, truly, and i do acknowledge that obstetrics and gynaecology as a field holds blind spots that are egregious (e.g. infant and maternal mortality in the black community) but there is no empowerment in risky birthing practices that our foremothers, and i’m not mincing words, often suffered through. birthing is natural, but it is not “easy” or even “innate”, it is best practiced guided and witnessed by those that know what to do in an emergency. you are not reconnecting to any innate feminine nature by practicing dangerous birthing practices—you are recreating a time when the bodies and lives of women barely mattered and it was expected that death would/could occur at insane and tragic rates.

this is a hill i will spend the rest of my days fighting on because while i am not interested in birthing children myself, i have an incredible passion and interest in the field of labour and delivery. it’s been one of my greatest joys to play even a small part in delivering neonates. i do not want anyone to risk their babies over a deeply, deeply misguided idea of free birth being “the natural way” when natural is not always synonymous with the safest way.

So many people think it's either midwife or doctor. It's not. Have your midwife or doula in the hospital room with you, I promise the doctors don't give a shit. Hell, you can have her do the delivery itself and just have the doctors there as emergency backup! But for the love of your baby, go to the fucking hospital.

yup. a lot of hospitals are willing to work with you to realize your birthing plan as much as they can within safe limits and parameters. my hospital is closely and highly allied with midwives all up and down the coast, with the explicit instruction to call the midwife when we know a labouring patient is about to deliver so we can respect their plan. genuinely, you can have almost any kind of birth you want—just make sure that there are qualified professionals in attendance, and it’s not just midwives or OBGYNS you need. you have no idea when you’ll need a respiratory therapist on call, you have no idea when you will need a blood transfusion within minutes or risk certain death, L&D nurses do not have the same training as NICU nurses if a baby declines rapidly. it’s a literal thousand things that can go wrong and you should be in the best place for them to go wrong.

so the antichrist is like underfell jesus
