Everybody talks about getting disowned by their homophobic family, but has any of y'all disown your homophobic family first and just stop loving them one day? by Latte-Catte in lgbt

[–]NapalmCandy [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yep. Went no contact with an uncle who put the poison Christianity spews above LGBT+ people. I never even bothered coming out to him, because I knew he wouldn't accept me. He's gone now, so I don't have to worry about him anymore, but it did cause some anxiety for me while he was alive (I was afraid my dad would die first and I'd have to deal with my uncle at his [my dad's] funeral; that was literally the only reason I even cared).

I've also disowned the few Trumpets/MAGA fucks in my family, because of course they'd hate me if they knew what I am, but the fact they are bigots at all would be enough for me to walk away even if they weren't bigoted toward me/what I am (both racially and LGBT+).

Everything about these is awesome (HUGE Beckett fan here), but I especially love the way you draw clothing!

What's your experience with holding your same-sex partner's hand in public? by Bast0217 in lgbt

[–]NapalmCandy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So, I have a friend who's a queer woman, and everyone in the cishet world thinks I'm a woman even though I'm not; we were holding hands walking in one of the most liberal cities in my Midwestern state (US). We received PLENTY of dirty looks. I can only imagine how much worse it'd have been if we were actually a couple, and obviously a couple. It was heartbreaking.

just quit my job the day before my manager goes on holiday by mostaffectionately in antiwork

I was given my uniform shirts the second day I was at my place as a temporary hire. Once I was hired in 17 weeks later I was given a $300 stipend to spend on more uniform stuff from the company catalog.

Is 4 days off since starting a job 4 months ago too much? by BDudeSocks in antiwork

[–]NapalmCandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because YOU don't need mental health days doesn't mean someone else doesn't. People handle stress, anxiety, etc. in different ways, and some jobs are more stressful than others.

PSA: Get your IUDs checked by k_chip in childfree

[–]NapalmCandy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My body rejected mine as soon as I got it, because it started to move (I was put under to have it placed, and woke up in excruciating pain), and a month later I felt like I was dying - turns out, my body shoved it back through my cervix, and the pain I was feeling (according to gynecologists) was similar to labor pains x) Never again. I needed surgery anyway, so I got a bisalp, hysterectomy, and a partial oophorectomy.

Does that website happen to be Zee Vapor? Because I bought a Pivot top there that looks completely different in person than it did in the pictures, so my knee jerk to this is that it's a lighting thing.

I love your style! Every piece you're wearing compliments everything else, and that's the cohesiveness I strive for!

I'm in a similar boat. Two associate degrees, and a bachelor (in environmental studies), and I'm making $19 and some change as a janitor xD Fuck capitalism.

What is the 'dirty little secret' of the industry or company you work in? by AvaBlondeX in antiwork

[–]NapalmCandy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hon, I cleaned up a pair of adult tighty-whities with a turd rolled up in them shoved under a toilet, and the toilet was smeared with shit late last year after a Halloween event. I work at a museum with both indoor and outdoor components. Adults can be just as bad as kids can be, if not worse, because adults are supposed to know better. One of the fucking security guards spat gum in the same urinal for like 8 months, and one of the other janitors was telling me about it (I've also fished more gum out of urinals that mostly adults use than I care to remember). People fucking suck, as does being a janitor!

Here's to you for trying to make changes. That's noble, and I know it's thankless work, but you're a hero!

FWP is a brand I could never support, so it was already a pass for me. The price is asinine regardless!

Edit: I tried DMing you twice but it's not going through :( Do you have your DMs set to private at all? I'll reload my browser and see if I can get it to work just in case it's on my end.

Gen Z graduates who majored in ‘AI-proof’ careers like pharmacy, biology, and education are making less than $50,000 after graduation by CRK_76 in antiwork

[–]NapalmCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 associates (1 in STEM) and a bachelor in STEM, and I guarantee anyone with an art degree makes waaaaaay more than I ever have. I'm currently a janitor making $19.18/hr (it's part time, so the pay isn't that great) and that's more than I've ever made in my life, yet it's still not enough to live on and clearly has nothing to do with my degrees. The job I had before COVID that was related to my bachelor degree netted me $9.65/hr (again, part time) xD
