Kind Of On This Topic, But Not Completely.

Kind of on this topic, but not completely.

I hate that I keep getting told I'm not allowed to wear certain things.

Our uniform is split between three: Orange shirt for away venues, red shirt for home venue, and white shirt+black vest for theatre venues. All of those paired with black pants.

Apparently, I'm not allowed to wear these because "you can't wear shorts"

And, look. I get it. If I was wearing just shorts, I get it. But, I've got pants on under them and the vest is long enough to cover them.

For one, I've worn this exact pairing at every venue at least four times. Why is it suddenly an issue now?

Second, why the hell are they concerned about my pants? No one's looking at my legs. I'm behind a table. If anyone is looking at my butt, I'm gonna shatter their hand.

Also, I can't wear off the shoulder stuff, either! Like, they want us to wear white collared shirts under the black vests because it looks nice. I get that. So, I have a fake collar (because the only collared shirts I wear enough to justify owning them are black and gray) and my only white shirts (2) are off the shoulder. What the hell do you mean I can't wear them? It's under a vest! Said vest is two sizes too big, so it covers my goddamn shoulders and hangs to my mid thigh!

I thought I escaped the shitty and biased dress codes when I left hell school.

At least I haven't gotten yelled at for my shoes. (Yes, that did happen at school with the exact shoes I'm currently wearing. "Stripper heels" they were called)

You wanna know something I think is a little very much misogynistic?

My work won't let females guard backstage doors or pits at concerts and other shows anymore. We all get stuck everywhere else and I hate it.

It's stupid but I can't say anything because none of them will listen to me

You know what? I believe that you can finish your writing project. I believe you can update your fic. I believe you can work on your WIP. I don't care if you think it's cringy or bad. I don't care if we've never met or interacted in our whole lives. I believe in you. Keep going - you've got this.

Cassie: Problem, I can't tell if this food is over-sauced or undercooked.

Cissie: Solution, just pop it back in the oven for another 10 minutes. There's at least a 50% chance that'll fix it, right?

Tim: Result? Food has somehow become unpleasantly soggy and unpleasantly crunchy at the exact same time.

Kon: No better time than this to pull out my favorite word! Slunchy!

Anita: ...put it away.

Happy ace day! Reminder that allosexuals are always welcome (and even encouraged!) to venmo $20 to the incredible aces in their life!
