The fun part is being accosted about how forgetting to do something is not a valid excuse, and that I really don’t care about person {x} or priority {y}, because if I did then I should’ve done it already! 🙃
Aw, there’s so much ancient history now than ever before, how could it be the worst on record?
I was lucky to get both physical and verbal abuse from my family, so I’m just a grown up mess now.
I am glad to see the studies come out that validate these experiences on a more empirical level.
Depending on what high school I was from, a lot of former classmates in my first high school wouldn’t even recognize me since both my name and gender presentation are much different now.
I had to transfer partway into my high school years because the school admins had serious safety concerns for when I leave the property (it was mostly filled with aspiring gangstas, extreme homophobes and few decent people in the mix). Least to say, I was harassed and bullied over my behaviour pre-transition.
This sparks joy
That is true! Though with computers being one of my “productive” traits, I do get asked to look at computers instead 😅
This is too real for me lol
My struggle is that I’ve sorta fallen out of my current friends group since I’ve found myself increasingly contradicting myself in order to make myself “fit in”
I’ve since been learning to be myself more and have at least 2 friends I keep in touch, but oof do I struggle to stay in regular contact.
Then there’s my desire to make friends that share similar interests and the motivation to go through with socializing is just not there 😅
I’ve held an interview with one of my former school bullies from highschool for a position under my team. I only had a suspicion when I came across the resume, but I just knew it was him when I saw his face on cam.
It was nice seeing him fumble over the curveball technical questions that I threw at him, and told HR that he wasn’t only a poor fit, but not to even send a follow up response l either.
I’m in a similar boat, I’m kinda hopeful now that I have enough money saved up to see someone, hopefully I’ll get some validation and a possible explanation on what’s “wrong” and maybe ideas on how I can right myself without sacrificing myself at the same time
Just gotta swap lead poisoning drinking water with checks notes Lead poisoning in drinking water, the air in the form of emissions and microplastics!
(I know lead was dropped from most gasoline in the 90s, but the effects linger. Also in some places there’s exemptions where small planes can use leaded gas to this day)
Furry sysadmin and trans girl reporting here lol
That’s a pretty good metaphor
