The season where Kelsey Grammar was in rehab and Niles was effectively the main character was the best season of the original show by fucking miles. He should always have been the secondary character.
Shit. That's what I was afraid of. I guess feddit.nl isn't the perfect neutral it once was. I specifically chose a home instance that would allow me to access Hexbear and some of the other more extreme instances. Is there a decent migration tool? I am established on this account and am a mod on a few communities. I don't want to lose Hexbear or all my posts and positions.
You're not wrong. I stopped going to CVS in part because only a portion of the pharmacy staff could be respectful. Two of the three actual pharmacists (both of the men -_-) obviously didn't care if I got my estrogen or injection supplies. They also couldn't keep my supplies in stock or get them in a timely manner, then treated me like I was seeking drug paraphernalia when I constantly needed syringes.
I guess I just don't trust that anyone has adequate training and policies for this. My experience is that, if there isn't anyone with authority making us a policy priority, we are at the mercy of the personal beliefs and opinions of whoever is working at the moment. =/
I just want to gloat about my dispensary in here. We're definitely where the cool queers get their weed. I've never been treated with anything but love and respect. The GM and AM both have significant personal connections to trans people in their lives. (The AM is my best friend, and I've seen her tense up at the notion that a random woman looked enough like her to be her sister, because she doesn't have a sister, and she will fight about it <3) The weekend closing manager is me. We are the only dispensary in town with the "Transgender safe space" tag on Google. (There are several with the LGBTQ friendly tag.) It's just all around a wonderful place to work and shop.
Big businesses are definitely worse about it because they don't have real training and nobody feels they have the authority to act on things in the moment. I work at a small location for a medium sized business. If there is an issue with how a trans person is addressed, I can swoop in and make sure it is immediately corrected and understood. I have been fast enough to stop potentially uncomfortable moments before they happened. (I like to think nobody at my dispensary would do worse than an uncomfortable misstep, but I try to prevent those too.) There is no equivalent to that in a large, faceless corporate workplace. Managers, regardless of their quality or training, aren't going to be reliably present. Employees are on their own with their existing skills, training, personalities, and biases. You can find a small business with a culture of respect you can count on. You'll always be gambling with a big business.
Why can't I see any comments there? I can see the posts, but it says they all have 0 comments?
Wdym? I just always work late shifts and meet other weird night people at the handful of businesses still open when I get off work.
Truth. I don't have to deal with this now, but give me Mariah Carey over "affordable woman who claims to sing like Mariah Carey" any day. There are so, so many bad Christmas covers it is ridiculous. I don't like Mariah Carey more than anyone else, but she is legitimately talented and skilled. There are worse singers and musicians covering the same songs.
I'm an autonomy maximalist. If you think this is right for you, do it. It's just a wild idea to me. For me, it was a door that, once opened, could not be closed.
Ngl I wouldn't do that for a partner. Not a chance. I don't have family in my life. No future partners of mine will meet my family. I don't have to meet my partners' families. I wouldn't make myself miserable for two weeks minimum for any family. Not a chance I would do this. You say "when I am safe again." I wouldn't be with a partner who wanted me to feel like that for their comfort.
Harvey Guillen has my vote!
Their real problem is that the woman he raped was in a long term polyamorous relationship with him and his wife. I'm sure they think that sometimes straight men can't help themselves in the presence of temptation, but this was gay and infidelity, both of which are evil.
