Incremental positive culture change in the workplace
Today I had a coworker come up to me apropos of nothing to apologize for using the b word to describe his daughter in a convo we had last week. I hadn't called him out on it, but I've been quietly insistent at work about describing why I don't use that word.

To maintain this positivity, here's some places I feel like I've had success at work:
1) got my team to stop saying the r slur or call bad things 'gay'
2) encouraged other women to not dunk on women all the time even though it's tempting
3) got a nazi fired
4) encouraged folks to be more candid about salaries and labor issues
5) gotten several coworkers to give literally any fucks about trans rights

The culture there is exhausting and being the only out queer person in my office *fucking blows* but I'm glad I'm taking the hit if it's helping.
Anyway, thanks for listening to my vent, haha. 💪😑💪

He thought about how he doesn't actually think that about his daughter and saying that sucked. I was proud of him for getting there; it's not easy to learn to check yourself if you've never been expected to.
