After the WHAT discussion??
I will now aim to find a legitimate use for the term penetralium in everyday parlance
Did you really "carefully review" my resume if you rejected me less then 30 minutes after my application
Thinking about asking my mom directly to use they/them pronouns for me. She used them for a little bit after I told her about my gender cornfusion but she stopped doing it after a while. I don't feel ready to use she/her in person (online it's easier because it's not connected to my physical representation) but this would at least cut out the discomfort of being called "he" all the time
also working up the courage to join a local-ish queer discord. I just don't wanna join and find out it's like 5 random people and they're all libs

"sophisticated" people really think they're all that, when they go and eat something called "charred cootery"!!Disgusting
My record is about a month and a half. My dad has had some rejections come in 6-8 months after applying with complete radio silence in between
Employers should be legally mandated to reply to job applications for a listing in a timely manner or face heavy penalties.
Furthermore, they should be barred from reposting a listing unless they have replied to all previous applicants.
Will be opening donations for my constitutionally impossible 2024 presidential run shortly 😎

I'm so fucking over asking for the world to meet me halfway. I don't even want to be here any more but I can't do anything about that because of the pain it would cause my family so I'm stuck. I hate having to claw every semblance of stability from the cold rock of a fucked up world that will only get worse
Is CompTIA A+ still the go-to certification for help desk jobs?
Laying in bed going over all the dark thoughts I'll be telling my therapist tomorrow (◕ᴗ◕✿)

Well one in the hand is worth two in the bush, as they say

Current mood: would like to be swaddled like a baby and told everything will be alright
Dad got laid off again. Now 4 out of 5 of my immediate family are jobless. Don't even know what to say
I've been questioning for roughly half a year now, and haven't done much IRL about it besides tell some family (which went... ehh) and look around for therapists (which I now have to redo since I've since switched insurance).
I also have a :storefront: alt subbed to a bunch of trans subs that I go into occasionally. I end up browsing very analytically, looking at people's features. I really like seeing pictures of good-looking and/or passing trans girls (side note: being a "girl" sounds cool but being a "woman" sounds terrifying. Does that mean anything?) because it makes me feel like I could plausibly achieve something like similar, like I'm not hopeless. When I see trans girls who don't pass, though, it just makes me feel awful, almost disgusted. I can't help but imagine myself failing to transition and being stuck in some awkward in-between. I never had this reaction before I started actively questioning.
Logically I know that's silly—every transition is different, looks aren't everything, and so forth, but knowing that can't change my gut reaction, and having that reaction in the first place makes me feel like an asshole, so I'm doubly screwed up when it happens.
I know this is something I'll probably have to work out in therapy but wondering if anyone's gone through something similar?
