On June 28, 1969, the #Stonewall Riots began following a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, one of New York City's best-known LGBTQ clubs. Forty-seven years later, the site was declared a National Monument by Presidential Proclamation. https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315976

SOML!!!!

There actually was an employment law case like this, I think it was EEOC vs. Harrah's were a female bartender was fired for refusing to wear makeup. The argument went something like this: barkeep was a natural woman (think Tahoe) and she did not wear make up as part of how she identified as a woman. The EEOC actually lost because the Court ruled that the very strict gender based guidelines were equally restrictive of men and women, sounds a lot like separate but equal though eh?

Men and women were both restricted in hairstyles, uniforms, and women were required to wear make up and men were not allowed to wear make up.

For sure!

I love this because it is so true! I moved to California when I was almost four years old. 53 years later I still say I am from Massachusetts! It drives my family nuts because I feel I can legit sat things starting with “You Californians...”. I started losing my accent early on, kids in grammar school are mean and relentless. There are still words I say with a Boston accent. Like Gah-bonzo bean, not garbanzo bean.

Do non-americans realize that the United States is literally just a bunch of countries in a trench coat that agreed to be semi-nice to each other in order to sneak into the Big Boy Club? Because let’s be honest that’s just what the USA is

My nephew did this. She was punishing he son by locking him in his room in their new house. He had to go to the bathroom, so she grabs the skeleton key and it dies not work. She tells him to go pee in the closet. He says he has to poo so she says, go in the closet. Eventually cons the Gardner into going up the ladder to break the window open and take the hinges off the door. Kid was 3 years old.

WHEN THE HELL DID I USE THIS TAG

I love this shot. As for the saying- it is golden. But I am #ADHD so it is more like dare, dream, and then think. I need doubt, but it is rare for me. #adhdproblems

First, think. Second, dream. Third, believe. And finally, dare.

Great advice!

If you vape, listen to your body. It could be telling you that you’re being exposed to harmful chemicals.

I have over 30 years HR experience. These types of questions, and some of their ask instead ? Are bad. As an example For transportation you could tell a story about a time when your car broke down and what you did to get to work on time- or something along those lines. We don’t ask ? like that. We sat “tells us about a time when you had trouble getting to work. What happened? What did you do?’

Even if their question is theoretical, you will sound like a stronger candidate if you give an actual example.

On a job application: “What is your preferred name and gender, we value diversity, so be honest.” Me: 

Merci Suárez Changes Gears  (2018)

Merci Suarez knew that sixth grade would be different, but she had no idea just how different. For starters, Merci has never been like the other kids at her private school in Florida, because she and her older brother, Roli, are scholarship students. They don’t have a big house or a fancy boat, and they have to do extra community service to make up for their free tuition. So when bossy Edna Santos sets her sights on the new boy who happens to be Merci’s school-assigned Sunshine Buddy, Merci becomes the target of Edna’s jealousy. Things aren’t going well at home, either: Merci’s grandfather and most trusted ally, Lolo, has been acting strangely lately — forgetting important things, falling from his bike, and getting angry over nothing. No one in her family will tell Merci what’s going on, so she’s left to her own worries, while also feeling all on her own at school. In a coming-of-age tale full of humor and wisdom, award-winning author Meg Medina gets to the heart of the confusion and constant change that defines middle school — and the steadfast connection that defines family.

Reblog with who you get stuck with~

My great grandfather bought a perpetual indulgence. At the time, around 1920 they were something like $250,000. He went to Rome and received it directly from the pope. As long as Name of Jesus as I die, I will go straight to heaven, skipping the well deserved purgatory. I am an atheist and “Jesus Christ” is my favorite swear word, so odds are in my favor.

aint this how we got protestantism

Love those moves!

If you were curious who was doing those sick martial arts moves in Black Panther, well, a lot of it actually was Chadwick… 

But the extra cool stuff was Gui! 

Gui DaSilva is an unsung stunt person and I just wanted to give him a nod for his amazing work and skill. 

And for you anime fans… (He has the backpack.)

Guardian News: “‘You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words,’ climate activist Greta Thunberg has told world leaders at the 2019 UN climate action summit in New York.”

I am vegan, it is my choice, and I don’t think everyone has to be. If it wasn’t for things like eggs, honey, and cows humans probably would have died out like the other hominids they ate during the last ice age. If I were to go back to eating eggs, or chicken, I would do my best to support local farmers like I do now with my primary food source: VEGETABLES, also grown on local farms. I don’t try to evangelize people, so don’t spout your ignorant crap to try and minimize my choices.

I would love to see the US make changes to improve our farming system to make it more sustainable. Many small farms are doing this work, whether it is organic produce or bacon, it all helps. Let me be vegan, or I will tell you why begals are not vegan. (Auto correct keeps changing that to bengals). I really miss begals.

vegans who refuse to even eat backyard eggs….why

Something people don’t understand about child abuse

One of the things that I really hate is that people don’t understand that survivors act differently and respond to their traumas in different ways.

I’m a survivor of csa and so is my friend. Her trauma made her extremely hypersexual while I could literally cry if someone even touched me.

My bf is a survivor of csa, I can talk for hours about my trauma if I felt safe enough while he NEVER brings it up.

A friend of mine is a survivor of emotional abuse and so am I. Her trauma made her angry while mine made me soft and defenseless.

My bf remembers every little detail about his trauma, while I repressed most of my childhood and traumas.

There’s no special “criteria” that you should fill in order to be a “valid” survivor, and there’s no specific way you should act if you were abused.

People respond to their traumas differently and it’s okay, your abuse is STILL valid no matter how you respond to it.

Here in California, USA you will find my washing machine in the Laudry room. Most likely other places are: the garage, a closet, a pantry, and rarely a back porch. 2 places you never see them: kitchen, bathroom.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL

“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”

Continuing through my early likes and this one jumped out at me. Have been thinking about this a lot, definitely why and old white boy like me is loving this pubklishing/producing world's finally realizing the strength of embracing other cultures/world's. If only my education/academia had not been so homogenous. A lot of what white culture puts out has got to be so predictable, just a trope.

This 11-year-old understands more about the importance of representation than all of the adults at Fox News combined.

Going back throughmy early tumblrlikes, and this caught my eye. I went to school with Chuck through middle school. In college his girlfriend ok end worked for me. It is awesome that his passion and dreams took off, and are still going strong.

I am old, and I have about 40 years in management, HR, and am a CEO. My best workers, collegues, staff etc have been anyone that was not from my generation and older. Some of my best collegues have been Gen X, Gen Z and mellenials. I love hiring people smarter than me, and really appreciate how younger generations dive in, because they never have had someone to explain/train/educate them- they did it on their own. Give them good pay and benefits and they will always appreciate you. Mellenials are awesome- even though they have the weight of the world and the burden of the dumb ass financial decisions my generation made.

Wow!

listened to Bohemian Rhapsody today… i’m so very sorry

Aww...to cute.

This is GAY PRIDE Kirby! Reblog for 20 Years of good luck!

When I worked at UPS in college, I supervised the purple belt. We answered our phone hundres of times a night with just our color, basically shouting over all the noise “PURPLE!!!!” Since I worked nights I often woke from a nape and shouted “PURPLE!!” into my house phone. One Christmas I had to do a seoncd shift with Liz at a temporary belt with no phones, so we had to shout at each other about every three minutes. One night, after hours of yelling “Liz” every minute or two, I got home. I was lucky, my wife was on the mood. Until while in the act I said, “Oh Liz..” I was on the couch for a month.

I worked with toddlers and pre schoolers for three years. Sometimes I accidentally slip and tell a friend to say bye to an inanimate object (“say bye bus!”) & occasionally they unthinkingly just do it.
