getting gayer by the minute

uh no

there are dozens of girls in my notes telling me how scared the idea of suddenly liking men made them. it's such a pervasive idea that im constantly seeing freshly out girls terrified and asking for advice because they desperately don't want it to happen.

I've never once seen it even be used in a kink context come to think of it, it's always some poor scared trans lesbian desperate for it not to be true and a bunch of people saying oh don't worry about it if it happens it happens men are actually great tehe.

Louder for the people in the back:

... you cannot tell what an artist is going to be like personally from being very familiar with their art.

"The hat is customizable," he said, struggling with the velcro patch on the front. "If I need it, I have an ICE one too. I pick based off the business i walk into."

"Customizable is an important hat descriptor," I said. "what can I get you?"

"You wouldn't believe how offended people get these days," he said. "And I'm supposed to do something about it if you're offended? You chose to be offended!"

"We all have hundreds of thousands of decisions everyday," I said. I thickened my accent. "That's what my stepdad always said. But I can make one easier - we have a delicious Ethiopian roast available."

"Like if I told you you have a bull ring," he said, "because bulls have rings in their noses. Is that offensive?"

I laughed. "I've heard that before."

"It's a joke, but people get offended. Maybe you're offended."

I looked at him. I smiled. "You aren't trying to offend me though, right?"

Of course he was. I was being friendly and the friendlier I was, the faster he switched topics. He was saying anything inflammatory he could think of to see if I'd take the bait. After about 20 minutes of my redirecting and deescalating, he settled into a more normal interaction. He took up too much of my time showing me a product I'd feigned mild interest in to get him to stop talking about getting accused of inappropriate behavior at work. When we finally disengaged, he spent 10 minutes trying to catch my eye again. When he failed, he left.

There's this new breed of customer who insists on trying to incite political conversation through their clothing and, when that doesnt work, their snide little comments. If I owned my own business, maybe I would have given the guy the fight he wanted. But I work for a corporation and I love paying my bills so I deescalated.

hi it’s me again because everything hates me ! im a disabled and undiagnosed trans woman and my roommate is a trans system and we were kicked out of our previous home hours after finishing moving in because the homeowner found out we were trans. he currently has almost all of our possessions hostage in his home and we are staying in a shitty motel we rented with m0ney we borrowed from a friend. we have no family help and no one who can take us in, and we were just denied work after weeks of being led on by interviews and phone calls. we are continuing to look with everything we’ve got. the water here has lead in it so we have to buy water, and the stove releases fumes that make me feel nauseous and lightheaded when i turn it on, so we only have a microwave to cook in. this place is crummy but it has a/c and we need to stay here to avoid being out in the heatwave. please, please consider sharing the post or helping us out. we are trying so hard. thank you. links down there ⬇️
