cis people who legitimately questioned their gender and decided they were cis are cis, but theyre not cis about it. i respect that.

exactly!! even if youre cis, examining your relationship with gender closely like that is only gonna help you understand yourself and grow as a person!!!

gender is a social construct. You get to inspect your own construction site to make sure it’s up to code.

Lovely! We need more of this!

me: looks up something related to adhd / autism
every article ever: observe your child’s behavior. talk to your child about it. you know, your child that you have, because this is a condition children have. everyone knows that autistic people disappear by the time they hit 18 years of age

gotta love the implicit assumption that an autistic person couldn’t possibly be looking up information about themselves too

Why are you so anti vegan? (I’m not vegan I’m just curious)

I’m actually not anti vegan at all! I’m anti animal rights. People tend to think I’m anti veganism because of my position because the animal rights movement makes veganism a core component of their activism. But let it be known I support anyone’s decision to go vegan.

Yup. Lots of folks seem to think I’m anti-vegan, but I’m really just anti-lying and getting told I’m evil gets old

I don’t want to live any longer in this world of “the customer is always right.” This is a world that shows the aggressive, the bull-headed, the cruel that they have full license to behave like beasts to get what they want. Half the time, they’re even rewarded for it; “here, ma’am, so sorry for the trouble, please accept this gift card–no charge.”

I want to live in a world that punishes these childish adults as you punish a toddler throwing a tantrum. No candy for you, Jimmy; you’re going home to bed if you can’t mind yourself in public.

Throw a hissy fit because your cashier isn’t moving as fast as you’d like? Find yourself gently escorted from the store until you can show some basic compassion and patience.

Hurl a pen across the table at your signing agent? You’ve just forfeited your right to refinance your mortgage this week. Try again when your temper is managed.

Scream obscenities at the Taco Bell rep because you know it’ll earn you a free soft shell? Here’s your money back; please feel free to play again when you’ve realized fast food is not worth more than the price of human dignity.

I am so sick of accepting–and, in truth, rewarding–these callous behavior patterns in customer service industries. The fact is, the customer is not always right. The customer is often just testing to see what he can get away with. Stop pandering to spoiled children, and show your employees they have more value than their red polo, or how much abuse they can withstand in a 40-hour week.

We are here to provide a service and to make a living.

We are not your punching bags.

seems like the right time of year to bring this back around
