from what I've seen, there are exactly Three Jobs hiring at any given time. they are:

  • senior logistics strategist at Hewlett Packard. $140,000 / year. requirements: three separate MBAs, fifteen years of business experience, no "ethnic" grandparents, unearned sense of confidence
  • "customer success ambassador" at Glurp. $70,000 / year, give or take, since 90% of your pay is based on commission. requirements: associate's degree, no experience, has never heard the phrase "pyramid scheme," no sense of shame
  • part-time server at Le Bon Mot. $15-$16/hr depending on level of experience. must work weekends, overnight shifts, holidays, while asleep. requirements: you will let customers spit on you.

Ludicrous decision by the UK government who have announced they will refuse to recognise Scottish Gender Recognition certificates.

This will force trans people to apply for a separate GRC for the rest of the UK.

Fun take: In the UK we now have a GENDER BORDER.

i saw some thread on xitter with some dude asking why drag queens "want to be around children so much" re: story hours and all the replies were either predictably disgusting or very defensive but not a single goddamn one of them answered the question so i will help in case anyone ever asks you this incredibly stupid question: they are clowns!! drag queens are just clowns!! they put on extremely silly makeup and huge wigs and bright clothes and do over-the-top performances that make people laugh and smile and sometimes cry. that is the definition of a clown. they like to perform for children because they are a type of clown and children are great audiences and it is not any deeper than that. god damn.

I'm very fond of this video

[VD: The video begins with a woman walking up a suburban street. She has tan skin, freckles, long straight strawberry blonde hair, lots of eye makeup, a low-cut sleeveless black top, a short black skirt and black thigh-high high-heeled boots.

The person filming says to themself “why does she think that’s okay to wear?” and then says to the woman in a mocking tone “going to the strip club?”

The woman approaches the camera and says to the person filming “you have a nice house. Do you have a husband?”

The person filming replies “yes.”

The woman says “what’s his name?”

The person filming replies “Harold.”

The woman says “okay” and starts to walk away from the camera towards a large house. The person filming says “where are you going?”

The woman, in a sing-song voice, shouts towards the house “oh, Harold! Do you want a wife that’s not a raging cunt?” The last two words are growled out. End VD.]

thinking about what is and what isn't allowed in frame with reference ecosystems in prairie restoration

Explanation from OP in the replies

restoration ecology tends to want to restore to a past state of an ecosystem, but magically that past state never involved people! Harvest, reciprocity, etc are all ignored because we pretend there's such a thing as prairie without people. Turns out, that imagined prairie never existed, there were always people here and there should people involved in restored prairie too!
