I once had an HR lady who seemed fun, the type you could have a beer with. She was so bad at her job that she was having casual hookups with employees.

The problem with HR is that if you’re liking them they’re probably not doing their job all that well

I got published authors to compliment a parody of fetish porn I wrote once.

Of then they should probably get the fuck out of America. This place will kill you fast

Oh then get a quadruple bypass since you’re in America

Idk? Boob job? Dental work? Extra set of arms? I wouldn’t know

So I had bottom surgery two months prior, bed bug treatment like a week or two prior, and was just returning to work like the next day after moving the furniture. Also I couldn’t afford movers and had no friends helping because it was 2021. Thankfully I had my now wife with me, but it was two women moving an hour away.

Or it may have been like two months later when due to unfortunate chance + adhd my landlord thought we abandoned the place when we finally started moving into a new place and threw away the blanket my mom used while dying.

Lovely people, amazing history, real shame about the politics. Also sorry about what my country did to yours. I hear your country is gorgeous.

Something like $100/week for two draws. But it was like 6 years ago in Kentucky

I donated blood for many years, starting the first day I was allowed (mom took me). I’ve been an organ donor from the day I was able and am loud about that. And for a few months after college I sold plasma for money. It definitely felt scummy, but I think it’s ultimately a good thing, though it is selling part of your body to a for profit company at a rate that’s pretty bad. So the cons are really that it definitely feels seedier than whole blood donation and that the phlebotomists are worse. I can’t donate blood anymore because they gave me a track mark and I can’t risk my other elbow’s veinous access.

But it got me through a rough time

The long nights demand the holy light of TempleOS

Chinese communism seems very much to be born of a fusion of USSR and Chinese imperial styles. But one important thing to remember about communist revolutions between 1918 and the 1990s is that the USSR played a major role in a lot of them. This is where you see such things as the betrayal in Catalonia and massive splits in western leftism as Marxist-Leninists and Maoists had backing and anarchists didn’t.

It’s an authoritarian thing. A lot of the rebels against the USSR were communists (most notably the red navy’s rebellion at Kronstadt). It’s a shame that communism has become synonymous to much of the world with the authoritarianism of some of its’ factions.

Ok but that’s infrastructure and we don’t pay for that (for real though we need to upgrade our outdated catenaries)

Ok I know when people say gay like that they mean gay male, but D.E.B.S. is one of the greatest queer movies ever made and is a romcom between two women. But it like many other classic queer movies wasn’t a major studio or anything

Because we’re a social species that often checks ourselves off of those around us. Sometimes it’s unhealthy, but often it’s an attempt to maintain tribe status and to safeguard against misperception.

Not exactly but my wife’s background in protest medicine is one of the first things that drew me to her

King James. His persecution of women caused centuries of problems

May I present market socialism? More social welfare focused than capitalism but the other main difference is that the means of production are controlled by the workers.

Syndicalism has gotten off the ground several times. Mutualism is a framework that was largely ignored for Marxism.

Don’t think you have to choose between Carnegie and Lenin, you can always choose to fly the black flag and choose yourself and those around you.

I’m not Muslim but I am gay, deaf, and feeling called out enough to consider screenshotting this to tumblr
