@ElodesNL Happy New Year, Elodes 🎊🥂

Happy new year everyone 💝🎉

“Can I bring my baby to the interview?” The message came in at 11 PM: “Hi, I have an interview with you tomorrow at 2 PM. My childcare fell through. Can I bring my 8-month-old? I understand if you need to reschedule.” Old me would have rescheduled. Unprofessional. Distraction. Red flag. New me replied: “Absolutely. See you tomorrow.” She showed up with her baby on her hip. She apologized three times before even sitting down. Ten minutes in, the baby started crying. She tried to soothe him while answering questions. She apologized again. I stopped the interview and said: “Hey. You’re managing a fussy baby, answering complex questions, and staying calm under pressure. That’s literally the job. Handling chaos while staying professional. You’re already proving you can do it.” Her eyes filled with tears. We hired her. She’s been with us for a year now. The most reliable team member we have. Why? Because when you’re used to handling a screaming infant at 3 AM and still showing up to work the next day, workplace stress feels like nothing. Working parents, especially mothers, are some of the most organized, efficient, and resilient people you’ll ever hire. Yet we lose them because our hiring processes are built for people with zero caregiving responsibilities. If your interview process can’t accommodate a parent facing a childcare issue, you’re not filtering for professionalism. You’re filtering for privilege.

@durandalcomplex Quebecoise here ✋🏻 and it's in the law! It ties back to a history of protecting a language and culture when you're surrounded by English. France did not need such protection since they are historically the colonizers, and French is already secured and spoken across the country.

@ValVixenKitty @mels_charm_ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people. j/s~

@mels_charm_ My man works in a trucking company and all those bitches DO is gossip 😂 the few times we've gone and hung out with any of them, or social events, it's all just gossip, gossip, gossip, and the kicker is tht they don't even realize that it's gossiping 😂 they're so catty lmao

I wonder which group is known for sharing private pictures that are given to them in trust 🙊

I majored in vacation 🌴😎🧉🏖

@Paribole @MadelaineLucyH "I saw something I liked so I had to take it *teehee* aren't I ambitious for going after what I want (touching your butt)? That certainly means I will be a good bread-winner." 🤮

@MadelaineLucyH True. I was chased by older men when I was in middle school. Back then (the glorious 2000's in France) teachers and adults would just hear it and shame us (teen girls) for being "too provoking". Complaining about boys touching bottom, the answer was "just sit down"

Older women will be like “ah when I was 14 there were a few men in their thirties who would cheekily pinch our bottoms and chase us and try to kiss us after school but we were flattered back then” and not realise just how insane that sounds outloud

@thealokverse @pattinsonactor The only time I ever used a genderswap app was with my then-boyfriend. Did we break up soon after? Yes. Can I swear that it wasn't because he made a prettier girl than me? No.

@pattinsonactor He was traumatised.

just remembered this and giggled... his facial expression 😭😭

NEW SONG: “Sally & Jack’s Song - A Song Cover” 🧣 I’ve always loved this song and its reprise, and feels especially poignant. youtu.be/RRvW9gBPFjY

PERFECT because I’m about to unveil my new drag persona, Robin D’Louvre

@CoraCHarrington @officialhambly This is like why I am always unfathomed by tv scenes of policemen running in what /appear/ to be department store dress shoes (irl they would be specialty shoes), but for functioning in life as a servant class while still slaying.

This is another example of a working class corset that was marketed specifically to house maids. Notice the extensive use of flexible cording over boning and strong coutil in a drab color that would hold up to the sweats and stains of hard labor.

i see i've fallen back in favor with the algorithm, so i will use this power later to construct my most powerful, most infuriating, most biased thread about tiny clothing problems that have no real relevance and how you can solve them using expensive, impractical methods

i keep saying this periodically but this is still the best tweet on twitter. if you did nothing on twitter but read this tweet once a day it would be time enormously well spent

woman so divine i almost liked a weird tweet

When I finally go goth,

@frogs4girls blueskee would be more active if it had push notifications. I get why it doesn't, and can appreciate that, but at the same time that makes for small communities with lots of space between the walled gardens.

twitter is such an evil evil place but bluesky is kind of boring which is almost worse

"free" as in energy
