I Stayed Up Late Last Night Writing An Entire Essay And Was Dead Tired At Work This Morning. But Apparently

I stayed up late last night writing an entire essay and was dead tired at work this morning. But apparently not as dead as the barista next to me who washed down three Motrins with her Redbull.

Ugh. This is what my dad sounds like. And mom.

If someone says that they don’t support BLM or Pride, because “everyone should be treated equally” and “it’s not equal if they get special privileges”, are they racist/homophobic?  I just got into a big fight with my parents about this. My dad voted for Trump, is white & straight, and works in business. But he gets mad when I call him racist/transphobic/misogynistic, etc because he “doesn’t care what other people do” so long as it doesn’t affect him.  My mom is an independent, hated Trump, and is more liberal than my dad, but she has a lot of the same views as my dad. She doesn’t support feminists because she believes they’re all “men-haters” that would make fun of her for choosing to be a stay at home mom, she says “all lives matter”, and when I told her my friend was bi, she said she had to discuss if I was allowed to sleep over at her house anymore! Even though she came out like 5 years ago to me and nothing weird has happened. Wtf, Mom. She also told me that she’d be fine if I was a lesbian but she’d “prefer” if I wasn’t because it would be “easier” for her. And one time she mentioned that her aunt was never married or even dated, so I said, “maybe she’s ace or aro” and she said, “what’s that mean” and as I told her, she interrupted me and said, “I don’t have room in my brain to learn any of theses new words.” Huh, Mom. I don’t remember you saying that when I told you about a cool new animal or invention I told you about. 

Is this a Gen X thing? Like, they just want to ignore anything that doesn’t affect them and they cannot deal with change? Because I’m pretty sure this is the mindset of a lot of adults I know.

Are you sad that June is over and you don't have a pride month anymore? Fear not, friends! There's a different pride month just beginning! lgballt

I wrote myself a note to write a post about the game Night In The Woods (nitw), and my little brother decided to finish it for me

Sex-repulsed ace culture is when your friends have sex-related conversations and you’re just sitting there wishing they’d talk about something else, cuz you can’t add anything to the topic and feel left out ;w;

Just some more references for you guys. Everybody who handles cash should know this. I’m going to be putting them up in our back room for reference.
