a few years ago i worked in a shitty little retail shop that was owned by two brothers i never met that lived in another state (the company owned a chain of these stores across 2 or 3 states, there were maybe 4 or 5 total stores). we used this ipad in a stand to clock in and out. you had to take a picture of yourself every time, which i despised. i had been there for maybe 7 months or so when one day i decided to look at the app that was like the user version of the app from the ipad. it had a record of all of my in and out times... and a record of every time they had been edited.

and edited they had been. every single shift, one of the two owners was shaving off between 1 and 15 minutes from clock out time. i brought it up with my manager, who i got along really well with, and got him to look at his. same thing. my other coworker, same thing. i went home and made a spreadsheet containing every single time it had happened for as far back as the records went. it ended up being something like $400 worth of time they had taken from me.

the next day i got a call from that owner, and he explained to me that he felt like i was taking too long to close the store, that it shouldn't take that long, and that he was sorry (sorry that he got caught!) and was going to add $200 to my next paycheck (half of what he stole), plus from now on all clock in and out times would be rounded to the nearest quarter hour, and asked me if that made it better.

i was in a pretty bad place at the time, financially and mentally, and for as terrible as that job was i did also kind of like it, and didn't think i could find anything better, so i accepted the money and the apology and let it go.

anything like that ever happened to you? did you do anything cooler than roll over like i did?

mega transphobia is putting it lightly. this is erasure. that's stooping to such lows that i would never dream of - fuck that instance and all it stands for but i would NEVER do the same to them.

disgusting.

honestly wish that i could say something funny about this but it just makes me fucking sick. these people are literally off in their own worlds after defederation making shit up about me and about my trans comrades and absolutely invalidating our experiences. and like, I know I'm not adding anything here, we all know what this is and me saying it directly isn't new information but i really, genuinely find it distressing.

how fucking dare they, honestly.

i have never felt more welcomed and at home on any other place on the internet, or hell in real life even. i've never felt more seen than i do here. and if it's not someone else's cup of tea then fine, I can respect that, but don't go posting to the world that i and we aren't "really trans". i would never do that to them.

sorry for an uninteresting comment. this one just really got to me...

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

I've noticed the same since leaving reddit. i mean I always knew it was a hellhole but for years i just let myself be convinced there was somehow nothing better, no other option. now every time i see anything from reddit-logo I have to take a bath to wash off the hitler-detector
