Oh it’s everything. I’m just very tired of keeping the peace so things can keep going. At work, with family. It’s eggshells everywhere and becoming exhausting. It was always there before gestures but it’s at 11 now.

Shiiit, I know that feeling. It's like slow suffocation.

Is there any way to reduce contact with some of the people whose emotions you're having to manage?

Mostly it’s working for people who don’t think as I do and holding my tongue. Gonna bite it off. Figured other people are suffering this also. Gotta keep the job, you know? All the retroactive hugs for when you experienced this.

Tell me about it. They just made the announcement that they're putting up the forced 10 commandments bullshit at my work and I want to react, but literally can't without losing my job. We can't even have political signage up in our years and publicly make any statements.

[-] SharkWeek 2 points 5 days ago

Do you now get to point to the exact commandment being broken on any given day by someone important to them?

[-] SharkWeek 2 points 5 days ago

Ugh, yes, working for people who believe you should be sent to hell is very hard on the spirit.

Have you got an escape plan?

Thanks for the retroactive hugs :-)

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
