I Said The Same Thing About Companies Wanting My Gender When I Applied To A Job.

I said the same thing about companies wanting my gender when I applied to a job.

To my case worker in the unemployment benefit part of the municipality before I found my current job.

She then told me that it was to allow firms gender discriminate, which she thought was perfectly fine...

I... have rarely been that gobsmacket...

First of all. That is EXCELLENT!

Second! Even cooler! One of the best colors to wear to hide in the dark is... Red.

Bright colorful red!

Why? Because red is the lowest energy color humans can see! It is the wavelength with slowest frequency!

It is... the color that disappears first when the light fades and dark takes over.

I'm a little more than halfway through reading Terry Pratchett's Night Watch (yes I know, it's taken me a while, hush) and my dad, who introduced me to them when I was in high school, told me this was the first Discworld book he'd ever read. That made me feel all sentimental anyway, but this evening I realized this book has been part of my life far longer than I'd realized.

Young Havelock Vetinari, student at the Assassin's Guild school, has been researching different forms of camouflage found in the animal world, and thus is breaking Assassin tradition of wearing all black. It's stylish, but it's pointed out several times in this book that black silhouettes still stand out in the shadows. So he's taken to wearing grey and dark green, muddy colours. And reading that, I was overtaken by the memory of my dad, years ago, when I was just little, explaining to me that if you want to blend into the night, don't wear black, because the night isn't black, it's dark blues and greens and greys, and black will still stand out. I don't remember why he was giving me this Assassin instruction, but it stuck with me forever. And now, here I am, finding the man who taught my dad all those years ago. I love these books so much, they're such an intrinsic part of my heart, sometimes in ways I don't even realize yet!

I... have to work SO hard to not be sarcastic and mean when I walk through past nutritional subliments or womens bathroom pruducts.

Because there are real knowledge about what works and for what. But that knowledge you have to find by digging in a oceans of wrong facts and misinformation that the pruducts write you you.

AND it's cherry-flavored! 🍒

my toxic xennial trait is that i believe something should either be software (in which case after i download it i shouldn't need to be connected to use it) or a web page (which shouldn't require me to download anything to use it, however badly, in a browser). fuck your mandatory single function constant connection apps

Ooooh! That is a good idea for sharing how you study/work!

I tried filming a study timelapse for the first time!!! I think it came out okay?? Lemme know in the notes :3

Today was actually pretty good. I'm being consistent in my 8-5 sleep schedule, and the mornings are always so peaceful. I've started posting a bit on my studygram too, but really, that's only for trying something new. I'm a Tumblr user through and through :D

I studied OS (operating systems). Pretty interesting so far. We haven't started Computer Networks class yet, and I'm kinda looking forward to it. Hopefully all these theory heavy subjects don't kick my ass (narrows eyes at CA during last semester)
