Getting Laid Changes Everything, I Swear
-
I’m about to call my manager’s boss because I tried to get a schedule change (I want to work 4 days/week, and 8 hours/day) so that I can have enough money to pay bills without stressing myself out
I told my manager this was the result of a disability and disclosed that I am autistic and that social interaction 5 days/week hurts my mental health, especially when school is in session as it will be in the fall. I told her it was either this or a department transfer (and honestly, I WANT it to be both)
and had her tell me that she couldn’t promise that, and then condescend and tell me that no matter what department i’m in I have to deal with people like I HAVE BEEN AUTISTIC MY WHOLE LIFE I KNOW HOW MY DISABILITY WORKS FUCK YOU VERY MUCH I HAVE ALSO WORKED OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND KNOW WHAT WORKS FOR ME
so fuck her
i am calling her boss and if he doesn’t fix this shit I am calling my union because I HAVE FUCKING DOCUMENTATION FROM DOCTORS THIS SHOULD NOT BE THAT HARD
wish me luck i’m scared and i hate having to stand up for myself but oh well

Colorlines: Senate Accepts Deal to Kick Formerly Incarcerated Off Food Benefits - COLORLINES Yesterday, Sen. Vitter of Louisiana offered up an amendment to permanently drop anyone ever convicted of a violent crime from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). According to Robert Greenstein, president of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Democrats in the Senate obliged him. The amendment is for a farm bill, which is currently being debated in the Senate.
The amendment would bar from SNAP (food stamps), for life, anyone who was ever convicted of one of a specified list of violent crimes at any time — even if they committed the crime decades ago in their youth and have served their sentence, paid their debt to society, and been a good citizen ever since. In addition, the amendment would mean lower SNAP benefits for their children and other family members. So, a young man who was convicted of a single crime at age 19 who then reforms and is now elderly, poor, and raising grandchildren would be thrown off SNAP, and his grandchildren’s benefits would be cut. … Democrats accepted it without trying to modify it to address its most ill-considered aspects.
Two-thirds of SNAP recipients are children, elderly or the disabled, and two-fifths of SNAP households live below half the poverty line.
According to Greenstein, if this amendment ends up in the farm bill and passes, it would hit African Americans particularly hard:
Given incarceration patterns in the United States, the amendment would have a skewed racial impact. Poor elderly African Americans convicted of a single crime decades ago by segregated Southern juries would be among those hit.
Sen. Vitter is claiming that his amendment is only aimed at preventing those convicted of violent crimes from obtaining benefits, apparently under the logic that stripping them of what may be their only form of income assistance will lead to less violence. Curiously, he didn’t propose that johns who’ve hired sex workers would also be banned from SNAP. Sen. Vitter also proposed an end to the so-called “Obama Phone” program, which started under President Ronald Reagan to help elderly and low-income with cellphone service, particularly in rural areas.

So yeah, my finale step in accepting myself is taking my own advice and feeling proud of the way I look by flaunting it. I am way happier looking at these photos and feeling genuinely beautiful than looking at a scale and getting excited when I loose weight. Weight is not a measurement of health, your self worth and definitely not your beauty. Let aloe your right to wear a bathing suit when it’s hot as hell! You earned that body, it’s beautiful because it belongs to you!
The perfect bikini body joke has been going around for while, just thought I’d contribute, not steal someone else’s joke :P(via fabulouslytragic)

You can tell I am tired because I am taking selfies and putting them on the internet. This is always a very bad sign.
But I got new glasses (they look pretty similar to the old ones) and I also dyed my hair blonder (but it looks pretty similar to how it used to) so yeah. Now you know. That’s my face.

Telling straight people they can ID as femme if they’re feminist is the same as telling them they can ID as queer if they’re kinky. Femme originated…

Teen Develops Computer Algorithm to Diagnose Leukemia
“Brittany Wenger isn’t your average high-school senior: She taught the computer how to diagnose leukemia.
The 18-year-old student from Sarasota, Fla. built a custom, cloud-based “artificial neural network” to find patterns in genetic expression profiles to diagnose patients with an aggressive form of cancer called mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL). Simply put, this means Wenger taught the computer how to diagnose leukemia by creating a diagnostic tool for doctors to use.”
Rock.
