Patience is a virtue i Lack

Like this. And it’s beautiful. It’s beautiful to hear a soliloquy I loved so much already, and have it come to life in a way it never, ever, did before. I feel like I grasp his motivations, his twists and turns, no longer on an academic level but on a visceral, instinctive one. Because he’s presenting his mental and emotional journey in a way that speaks honestly, like a real person.

And it pissed me off so badly that I spent the ENTIRE WORK DAY today compiling evidence from every project my team has ever done for her, pulling past emails she’d sent us, putting together an entire case proving that she had been the problem all along. That she got projects mixed up, that she’d made requests that were nonsensical, literally everything you could possibly imagine. Screenshots of emails, reports we’d submitted, EVERYTHING.

This woman in particular has been terrorizing my team for years, her name is almost a slur in my office, I had simply had ENOUGH of her.

I put all of this evidence together and sent it to all of my bosses at 4:30pm. Then I took a long break to eat a sweet treat and drink some tea.

After my break, my bosses all called in an emergency meeting with me and they said they read my report and fucking loved it. And I sat on a teams call with my boss’ boss as she wrote my nemesis the scathing email I had always fantasized about sending, using the evidence I’d compiled, and hit send.

That so... absurd ?

Kink doesn't even need a reason to exist. Like, idk if I discovered tomorrow that covering myself in flour get me hard, what would be the answer at why it's a thing ? It's because of the embarassement of failling at making a cake ???

Even then, women can experience embarrassement at their gender expression. Perhaps not because of clothes, and that only a recent thing and not everywhere, but for example body haires ! You want to wear pants and shirts ? Okay, it's valorized because it make you look competent and not frivolous like a woman, but ! Don't you dare to cut your hairs short ! You can be a little bit masc but you should stay fem enought for me to still want to fuck you !

And we're not women. Gay men have sexualized and played with masculinity long before forcemasc. If you look at leather gay culture and think "nop, not even a form of gender play here" you're lying to yourself.

I remember being forced to attend little parties put on by the church ladies specifically to teach me how to wear a dress and hold my posture and cross my legs and eat like a nice young lady, because I was “getting too old for the tomboy schtick”. (And is that not a form of forced feminization? I hope somebody loves the idea of getting forced into a dress to attend a tea party, but for me it was just bizarre and confusing!)

About the time I got to wearing jeans to church, I learned the word “dyke” from whispers in the pews. I got boys in my sunday school asking what I had in my pants when the teacher wasn’t looking. And I wasn’t aware enough to understand that this was harassment, so I just got a weird thrill from being Mysterious. “Guess!” i’d tell them, grinning, and they’d stop laughing when they realized I meant it. I’m very glad they never told the teacher, and I assume that was only because then they’d have to admit how they started it.

The harassment got worse and less fun over time, of course. I won’t detail that because it’s not fun on a kink post, lol. I got shamed for body hair, too. And my low voice. And my more masculine mannerisms. And so on and so on. Which is why the fantasy of somebody praising all of that is so fun!

Yall give me any tips for injections if you have them

Two boys practicing their swordplay, Harlem, 1939–1940.

I took the cargo ops class at school but my teacher explained that it doesn't give a certification and I'd only be okay for ship's crane and the school forklifts. she said I could take an online exam and get my cert. I paid 60 bucks.

I'm googling and I'm seeing a lot of resources saying that the online programs cover the classroom part of the exam but not the in person practical aspect.
