    Truth is that the west an America never cared about queer rights, they made the Arab leaders strip dance for israel, yet they still permit them to kill gay people.

    • I remember pre-BLM when White women used to have in their profiles “I’m not racist but I don’t date Blacks or Mexicans, sorry, it’s just cultural differences” then years later see the same profile floating around post-BLM and it was missing the disclaimer. Haha

      Like Paul Mooney said, I like my crackers a little salty. I prefer they just announce it, not that I’m interested in dating anyone White anyway.

        [CW: Me rambling about this disingenuous 'it's not bigotry—it's just a preference' shit—talking about queerphobia/biphobia/racism]

        On this note, somewhere else online, I was recently seeing wild amounts of discourse about whether or not it’s biphobic for a lesbian to refuse to date a bisexual woman on the basis of her sexuality.

        You had so many people myopically spewing out, “it CAN’T BE BiphObIC BEcauSE IT’s JUST a prEfereNCE!”

        And I don’t understand how someone can be so narrow-minded when it comes to understanding that a statement like “Bisexual people are more likely to be cheaters” doesn’t magically become not biphobic just because you put a “I don’t want to date a bisexual person because…” in front of it. How does that logically even add up in their minds? The fact that they can so unabashedly and with so much conviction state these really emotionally charged takes about this subject just speaks on the oblivious nature of bigotry. It’s never about what’s true—it’s always about vibes.

        Bigotry always manifests as a “preference,” but people just act like, for some reason, the nature of these bigoted preferences becomes not bigoted when it’s in the context of dating. An employer saying, “I only want to hire whites because they’re the smartest and most hard-working race” has a “preference” for white workers, and many people would think it’s ridiculous to say “This employer can’t be racist because it’s just a preference!”

        And this goes both ways. Not only does this logic excuse bigoted EXCLUSIONARY dating preferences, but it also gives things like FETISHISM a pass. One thing I’m tired of is people acting like racial fetishism is not a form of racism. It is. Racial fetishism is rooted in harmful generalizations. There’s no denying that. People really think that just because a form of racism is “benevolent,” then that makes it not racism. This being false is one of the easiest things to understand about racism, but cracKKKers continue to get away with it because your average cracKKKer does not actually give a damn about unlearning white supremacy. So long as a form of racism is socially acceptable and easy for them to get away with, cracKKKers don’t tend to care about it. Anti-racism and statements against white supremacy serve as a virtue signaling game for them.

      Annnnnd of course they never called me even though they said they would. I shot a follow-up email. Maybe that’s futile, but meh.

      Other thread closed, but I was gonna ask if your local org has paid positions like canvassing? (I’m guessing you already looked into that). Or you could do wrecker shit in the local Democrat organization lmao.

      The other was if there’s a temp agency where you’re at. They’re always looking for people to put on your payroll and you will get a lot of work just by not being a fuckup. A lot of the places I temp’d wanted to hire me after working for a week or more until I made the mistake of telling them I was going back to school in the fall.

      For comparison, I got called into one job at 10 AM after not getting the usual 6 AM call to assign work because the other temp didn’t show up. Makes you look good for doing nothing when your colleagues are doing stuff like that.

        I actually worked with some lib org that does canvassing but work was incredibly limited, and they continued to misgender even though they claimed trans acceptance. I got hired by one temp-to-hire position but they forgot to tell me that I need a driver’s license to work with them and had to stop the onboarding in the middle of it… was really pissed.

    More to that HR at that medical receptionist job giving me a hard time at my current job, apparently one of the decision makers that interviewed me thought it’d be precious to write a bad review (and I know it was her due to the content of the review), The patronizing horseshit to my face wasn’t bad enough, the review was so bad management at my job posted in the breakroom by where you clock in. I knew this retail hell job was on limited time but yikes, so whenever someone naively asks what’s the worst that can happen when you apply to a job well there’s no limit to the badness that can happen.

    To make matters worse management thinks I’m not concerned about it and made comments about it to other workers, I may have anxiety especial the social kind, but I’m good at dissociating and looking stoic. I always wondered what my constant dissociating looked like to others, guess at least I learned it looks like ‘calm’, great to know. Just because I’m not bawling doesn’t mean I don’t feel anything, my other jobs you have a show of emotion or disability and its firing time. I think its like that with all jobs tbh.

        Me neither, when I overheard that I was like ‘wut’. I’m supposed to dance and sob for an abusive minimum wage part time job.

        Apparently they done fucked so badly when corporate visited today they took the review of shame with them. I still don’t know how long this job will last, but at least I know for certain I don’t need to worry about any 2weeks nonsense, I’ll just ghost if a miracle happenss and I find something else. Wish I took a picture of that review to build a case against the medical hr for being unforgivable assholes. I never thought corporate would side against them.
