SORRY MASTO TRANSMASC BIRDS HAVE TAKEN OVER WITH DADFEELINGS

Racism and Racial Pride 

I've been thinking about the racial pride argument that circles of racists-in-denial like to make.

If a black person has "black pride," they are commendable.
If a white person has "white pride," they are a bigot.

Why? Because being black in a country like the US puts you at a disadvantage due to systemic (and sometimes blatant) racism. Being proud of being black is being proud of your ability to overcome that which white folks are granted by default.

*mic drop*

I'm a😴snoozy✨plush✨

please to give 💖snugs💖

How does it work that I'm mentally and emotionally exhausted and yet physically wide awake?

Like, how does that happen. I couldn't force myself to sleep right now but I'm kind of operating on autopilot because all of my other systems are operating on emergency reserve power.

Filing a bug report and my 2,582,429th request for an RMA on this broken meat body.

Today's google doodle is fucking /excellent/ and everyone should click on it

3½ hours of sleep is enough sleep, right? My body seems to think so this morning at least.

Now I guess I'll be determining what our next steps will be. Kelly's new job offers insurance thankfully -- and seems like it might last for a long while, so maybe that's the answer-- just let the insurance end when it does.

I'm emotionally exhausted, and it's only half way through the week. But at least the weekend looks exciting. A celebration of glowy things and visit to friends in Port Orchard may be just what I need to recharge a bit. ♥️

She and I had a very long talk and kind of vented about the situation. At the end of the day, it didn't change anything, but at least I have the satisfaction of knowing my complaints were heard verbatim by the person at the head of making decisions about benefits for the company -- so at least I know I've done all I can do at this point.

It's been a hard day. I spent much of it on the phone with various people from Vista Outdoor Inc.'s HR department, voicing various complaints about their policy to not let domestic partners share an employee's health coverage.

The last call of the day was with the HR rep that used to be the director of HR for the previous company.

I have been subsisting almost entirely on a diet of teriyaki and hummus this week and I see no reason to stop :3

My anti depressants are working really well ♥️

I've been playing a ton of Splatoon 2 because of course I have :D

It's now time to see if the "Diversity & Inclusion Council" at my company is just a façade or not.

Work Venting 

Today is also a shit show for various reasons related to the old parent company's IT department not communicating with the new one, but that's not what I want to bitch about right now.

My partner may be dropped from my health insurance policy because my workplace hired a 3rd party auditor to verify dependents, and they require BOTH a marriage license and proof of co-ownership of property to verify a dependent spouse.

Company policy counts domestic partnerships. I'm extremely angry.
