The Strongest Stars Have Hearts Of Kyber

The "just don't be an asshole" rule strikes again

I overheard a coworker at the college who works essentially customer service for students mocking people with a mean voice who want their names changed or fixed on their records. For what? Why? Why be an asshole over someone's NAME? Why is it bad to want your name correct on student records?

I say this as someone who worked food service and retail for many, many years and is fully aware of how awful and soul destroying working customer service can be, but:

Here's the other thing worth mentioning, the more you are unnecessarily rude, aggressive, or even just snippy to customers who really aren't doing anything wrong, the more you are making your job unnecessarily worse, not only for yourself, but for your co-workers too.

I really try hard to make a point not to watch shorts or reels, since not only are so many of them AI slop these days, but a lot of them are just pop psychology making extraordinary claims with no backing.

The thing I don't think people realize is that trauma responses can't just be stopped or turned off like a switch.

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

This may be the best Pride merch I've seen from a major corporation.

I think Levi's donates to Outreach International every year too, as well as sponsoring pride events and other community support. They were offering Same Sex domestic partner benefits to employees in the 90s, and have been very public about their support for pro-lgbt legislation all through the 2000s.
