Do you think the reason you can’t find a job is because you have no sought after skillsets?

Haha wow anon! :) what an insightful take! And certainly not one that I've been thinking about constantly for years of my life even when I am employed! :)

Definitely not something that's been haunting me after I dropped out of college three (3) times, especially after I went through the gifted and talented programs in grade school where I was told I would be able to go to any college I wanted, and then get any job under the sun! :) Which I totally don't beat myself up about regularly because I never lived up to those expectations, and now work an hourly job knowing full well a huge portion of my peers are now doctoral students or otherwise have flourishing careers! :) (Which, side note, just to break character here, I'm super jazzed for them for that. Seriously. I do not hold any of this against them. I hold all of this against the very broken system I was in. Add on top of that I had ADHD the whole time and didn't get diagnosed until I was 20... yeah.)

And certainly the reason I haven't found a job has nothing to do with the fact that I started this job search barely two weeks ago because that's when I found out the company I work for currently is shutting down, or the fact I've applied to maybe a dozen jobs in total since then. Certainly not.

But yeah, I know for sure that seven years in customer service, thriving in high-pressure fast-paced environments, a wide array of computer and other technology skills, data analysis, route optimization, attention to detail, effective communication, automotive knowledge, and being a very quick learner aren't at all sought after skills. Neither is a CompTIA A+ certification, which I'm working on getting ASAP.

So I guess I should just totally give up and cease to exist, huh anon? :)

Literally what the hell is wrong with you? No sought after skills. Eat my ass. The reason I haven't found a job yet is because I've barely been looking, because I still work for my current employer for another two weeks. Add on top of that the fact that employers love to just post jobs and not actually respond to any applicants, then cry about how "no one wants to work," I know full well this is going to take some time. I hope when you find yourself in this situation at some point in your life, you have the sought after skills to find a job in less than two weeks. Fuck off.

Ok so I’m a big ol lesbian but before I realized I was, I slept with a fuckton of guys and I just had a dream about THE BEST guy I had sex with and now I’m horny and missing him. His dick was actually perfect- 7inches, little bit curved and he KNEW how to use it. And he ate pussy for his pleasure, just absolutely messy and perfect and amazing and god missing him is making me question everything lmao

Tbh it do be like that sometimes . I will say tho, you don’t have to question ur sexuality unless you really want to lmao like, you can have sex, even really really good sex, with a dude and be a lesbian the whole time. Sex is just a fun cool thing that feels good that people do with each other, it doesn’t have to be anything more than that (although obviously it can be!) But yeah I think missing someone who clearly made you feel good is valid as hell no matter the situation fkvjdbdjddj

weird question but. does kushina jr just..... not have genitals? or am i just missing a piece of context that everyone else has?

Nah, the joke is that it’s weird to ask about people’s genitals. It’s a throw back to an older tumblr meme where a trans or non-binary person replies to “what’s in your pants?” with increasingly inane answers

For the most recent post, obv Mikoto knows the baby’s genitals after they’re born and she helps out with things like diaper changes and bathing. But Itachi being like “why do the baby clothes matter, it’s a baby” is just him being like “it’d be silly to buy clothes for a baby based on its genitals. It is a baby”

#reborn au #Tori intentionally avoids answering gender questions because she’s actively annoyed by the idea of other people #acting wild over her baby’s gender #Itachi gives non answers because he doesn’t think it matters

Hello! How are you?

I am reading about political parties during the Regency era and I have a question. Which of Austen's characters do you think are Whigs and which are Tories?

You really going to force me to relearn what Whigs and Tories were? Cruel, cruel nonnie. I'm going to cheat, this is from my favourite thesis on Jane Austen, Above the Vulgar Economy:

As Josephine Ross in Jane Austen: A Companion maintains,

The clear-cut distinctions of modern parliamentary politics had yet to emerge; and while the Whigs in the House of Commons tended to represent the interests of the aristocracy and upper classes, as well as expressing liberal ideals, the Tories – with their broad adherence to the more traditionally middle-class principles of upholding the Crown and keeping disaffection in check – were more identified with the landed gentry, and educated, but modestly situated, families such as the Austens.

At the time, the two party system was still evolving, and there was a great deal of dissention in the ranks. There were reactionaries, reformers and radical members in both parties. There were conservative, moderate and liberal Tories, and the Whig party was factionalized into Portland Whigs, Rockingham Whigs, Benthamites and Foxites to name a few.

Also, I have gotten the impression from reading other novels (eg. Wives & Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell) from the time that often people knew which party their family voted for, but knew almost nothing else. Something that totally still happens today!

Here is another great passage:

In fact, when Pride & Prejudice was originally written as First Impressions in 1796 and 1797, Austen‟s novel appears to have been taking a stand in favor of two controversial economic proposals being debated in the House of Commons and in the press, a national minimum wage and Poor Law reform, thus Pride & Prejudice was much more than a satire of manners but was also a political critique of Jane Austen's society. Both proposals were championed at the time by Tory Prime Minister William Pitt, the Younger and supported by liberal Tories and moderate Whigs. Both proposals were vehemently opposed by reactionary Tories and radical Whigs. The eligible bachelors in Pride & Prejudice are all associated with the Whig party, as is Lady Catherine de Bourgh, but the characters, like the Whigs in the House of Commons, have very different attitudes towards money and the working class.

Additionally, Austen's contemporaries would have known that Elizabeth Bennet's agricultural county, Hertfordshire, was, at least for the working class, the poorest county in England, just as Fitzwilliam Darcy's Derbyshire, financially stimulated by the Industrial Revolution, was the richest county, and Lady Catherine de Bourgh‟s Kent was a mixed county that varied enormously, from parish to parish, in prevailing wages and in treatment of the poor. The admirable Whig characters, like Fitzwilliam Darcy and Charles Bingley, are kindly and generous, while the radical Whig, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, is selfish and stingy, and George Wickham is simply an opportunist and a scoundrel. By its presentation of the different Whig characters, the text appears to be appealing to Whigs to be generous to the working class and encouraging Tories to look approvingly on those Whigs who are willing to financially support the poor.

Pride and Prejudice also includes a large number of characters who are servants, many identified by name. As most of them have no dialogue and do nothing to forward the plot, their presence in the novel at all may seem curious, but the depiction of the working class in Pride and Prejudice is more subtle to the modern reader than it would have been to Austen‟s original readers. The servants in Pride and Prejudice refute the assumptions of prominent Whig economists and politicians, Edmund Burke, Frederic Eden and Patrick Colquhoun, who depicted the lower class as ignorant, wasteful and immoral. Lady Catherine‟s financial neglect of the poor in Kent conforms to the economists‟ advice based on their assumptions that the working class was already adequately compensated for its labor and that poverty was the result of the irresponsible behavior of the poor. In stark contrast, Fitzwilliam Darcy‟s generosity to the poor in Derbyshire serves as a model response to poverty, and the general prosperity of Darcy‟s home county suggests that the solution to poverty is a combination of higher wages and liberal charity, exactly what the Prime Minister was proposing in 1797.

The general impression that I have gotten is that both Whigs and Tories were relatively ineffective. Anyway, a pretty clear answer for one character:

Pride and Prejudice‟s hero is almost certainly a Whig as well since the choice of the name, Fitzwilliam Darcy, is highly suggestive. Lord Fitzwilliam, later Earl Fitzwilliam, was from the north of England and, as historian William Hague describes him, one of the “Three great Earls of the Whig aristocracy”

Anywho, I'm not going to go through and sort them all since it seems fairly ambiguous who would be affiliated with which party. Also, almost everyone on earth holds some views that are extremely contradictory, so it's impossible to tell.

Wait what the fuck is going on?? I’m not very active in the fandom lately so I’m very out of the loop - or if you don’t want to talk about it (which I totally understand) do you know of anyone who’s posted about what’s happening?

I'm not gonna lie I don't know all the details, all I know is that there was some discussion about tagging fics more accurately/thoroughly, which I did add to that conversation a little bit yesterday in explaining soft Doms vs hard Doms, but beyond that I'm not sure. I know someone did get an anon telling them to kill themself, as for why I don't know, but regardless that shouldn't have happened.

If anyone has an actual rundown of what's going on that'd be cool, but otherwise I'm going to stay out of it beyond saying "be cool to each other what the fuck"

You should share the blog! There’s still a lot of stigma in the community and kinks need to be normalized. This is always a safe space and if anyone calls you problematic the block button is right there

Alright, I think I can handle backlash at this point should it come lol

First of all: I agree! Unfortunately it’s difficult to normalize certain kinks when even stuff that’s pretty basic (like bondage or impact play) is still pretty stigmatized. That said, I think that some folks who are in the kink community need to understand that the shorthand for participating in a kink scene is called “playing” for a reason; it’s all pretend, and the vast majority of people participating have a healthy separation of reality and fantasy. (I won’t say all because like, no community is free from bad apples. That’s just a fact of life.)

With that said. I’m going to put the rest of this post under a cut just in case. BEFORE YOU PROCEED, realize that I’m going to be listing some stuff that I post on this no-longer-secret sideblog, and some of this stuff might be triggering to some people. It is a hard kink blog. In gentler terms, if themes of noncon bother you, definitely do not proceed. If other taboo kinks bother you, definitely do not proceed. If things sometimes referred to as “trauma kinks” bother you, probably don’t proceed. Remember, though, that it’s all fantasy, and even if I post it, that doesn’t mean I condone that kind of behavior irl.

Here we go

This blog comes with a healthy TW for noncon/hard cnc, some kinks that might be considered queerphobic, and themes of incest.

A bit more specifically, you’ll see a lot of stuff about dykebreaking, some misgendering (not a ton of detrans stuff but it is in there), noncon, kidnapping, intox play, incest, age gaps, toxic sorts of relationships, as well as my usual list of stuff.

I definitely recommend reading the pinned post on the blog before you go too far.

If you’re gonna be cool about it and that sounds interesting to you, you can follow me at @spacedykensfw2
