So I’ve been teaching 6th grade since January, and one thing about my female students which made me upset to realize is how many of them are obsessed with skincare. I've heard the girls in my class discussing the EYE CREAM they use. Like tf you mean eye cream? You're ELEVEN!!! I'm a decade older than you and have never even touched eye cream!! The most skincare a middle schooler needs is cleanser and moisturizer, maybe some acne cream. Who tf is selling you all this other stuff? Who tf told you you needed all this?

It hurts me to see. Their brains are too young for these types of insecurities 😭 no 11 year old girl should be obsessed with wrinkles, I wanna beat tf out of whatever tiktoker made them believe they needed skin that perfect

#:( #truly sickening #all those tiktoks about children buying drunk elephant? and other very aggressive and intensive facial treatments... thats insane #especially if you think about the way that it will affect their skin. its probably really bad for them ! that's baby skin #so counterproductive...and so horrible that this is what theyre thinking of in the first place #theyre using stuff meant for older audiences #thisll probably cause skin problems when there were none #and cause them to buy more products 💀 #beauty industry kill yourself #little girls play with sticks and mud blease

i know that "unalive" is part of larger worrying trend of self censorship but if you really are in a situtation where you have to avoid the words "die" or "kill" the english language already has centuries worth of much better euphemisms. the iconic and perennial "six feet under"? the lovely imagery of "pushing up daisies"? "shuffle off this mortal coil"????? literally anything from the monty python dead parrot bit???? you have so many options. please try to be more creative at least

I noticed today that the deadname of a client was clearly visible in their client file because it was their legal name, and flagged it for IT. I specifically flagged it as "Hey, if someone sees this and calls our client the wrong name, we'll lose them as a client." IT emailed me back immediately, and it's now invisible except on their contract with us, which the majority of us don't have direct access to, as opposed to their client file.

The reason I flagged it framing it as a loss is that what matters to most companies is money. If you can flag a bigoted practice as something that will lose customers, clients, or get them a lawsuit, that is significantly more likely to get taken care of quickly than trying to appeal to their better nature. I could have flagged it as "Hey, this is going to make our client really upset if they hear it.", which was my actual motivation for flagging it, but if I had, then it probably would have been taken care of in a few days or even weeks, not hours.

Always hit them with the profit argument for quick and decisive action.

The people who love us scratch us, (…) And what is love, anyway? It’s claw marks, scratches, scars, traces someone leaves inside of you.

— Margarita Karapanou, Rien ne va Plus (tr. by Karen Emmerich).

The things we do for love like this are ugly, mad, full of sweat and regret. This love burns you and maims you and twists you inside out.

— Crimson Peak, written by Guillermo del Toro & Matthew Robbins.

honestly the “talking stage” in gen z dating culture has ruined so much of the mystery and thrill associated with the development of budding relationships
