Even the most outwardly "woke" cracker with 5 marginalized identities ends up disappointing me very quickly every time.

Saw this white dude comment on a Black man's post where he's venting about white people: "Blame it all on capitalism"

I told him to STFU, and he responded, "I think you might be a little confused. Capitalism is the reason why race exists as a social construct, so don't claim to be an anti-capitalist if you can't represent it."

This fucking clown-ass h0nky seems to think this is esoteric knowledge and that the only reason why people are pushing back against his "well ackchyually, the problem is capitalism" class reductionist BS is simply because they're not educated on race and capitalism. No, you bozo, of course I know how capitalism and racism are connected. This is fundamental knowledge, but I don't need you deflecting, you fucking clown-ass cracker. GTFO.

It's gotten traction that has led to a "vocal minority" kind of dynamic, but trust me, most Black Americans definitely don't believe in this BS. At least I hope that is the case.

This Black woman I was crushing on is now saying the whole "Black Americans are Indigenous to the Americas" shit now.

Yeah, never mind, I think I'm done here.

Hopefully, this is the last time I have to do this, as I actually got hired by a full-time remote job! I start my training tomorrow, but I am also nervous. It might take a while before I am used to everything, but I take it, in the end, everything will start to feel normal. The training lasts a month, which is a good deal of time.

I got hired by this place, and my training with them starts on Monday. It's also remote, so hopefully, nothing weird about "load tests" steps into the room. I don't think it will. I already completed my onboarding with them, and the training will last a month. It is a full-time position and actually long-term. I love that I don't have to leave my home to do the work, so it sounds like a win.

In addition to all of this, I am looking into narrating audiobooks as a side hustle of sorts. Unfortunately, because of AI, I wonder how long this will even be an option. Either way, I'm gonna navigate finding some side hustle.

However, I got some anxiety when I read these policies on having a "professional appearance" for video conferences [slightly paraphrased]:

  • Hair must be clean and well-groomed in a reasonable style.
  • No hats or head-coverings that impede a clear view of your face. Scarves and hair-wraps are fine so long as they do not violate another policy (obscene patterns, etc.)

Because I have freeform dreadlocks, I probably don't fit this "well-groomed" or "reasonable style" description they're talking about. After reading this, I actually decided to wear a (solid black) Rastacap during the interview, and they took no issue with it, so I take it that the Rastacap is not invalidated by the second bullet point there. I guess one could call it a "hair-wrap." Regardless, it is such a goofy, performative, and LARPy thing for them to have these stringent guidelines on one's appearance in video calls for a job where you're not actually even seeing customers, just talking to them on the phone.

Either way, if they do try to go after me for either the Rastacap or the freeform dreadlocks, that can be a violation of anti-discrimination laws, I'm sure. Though I'm not actually a Rasta, I thought it might be in my favor to cap (pun definitely intended) and tell them that I am so they get off my ass for the sake of avoiding religious discrimination. I don't think it will actually get to that point, though, or at least I hope it doesn't.

Apologies for posting again. I didn't want to, but I realized I'm lackin' a few things

Decent stock on pasta and lentils, yeah, but also need several seasonings and other ingredients, including olive oil (which costs quite a bit), tomato sauces, and nooch.
