@IrisKalmia The character I'm quoting is from a movie. He's called Stonewall 'cause he's queer-coded in an 80s film about the toxicity of television preachers starring Tom Curry as a televangelist.

@literorrery Oh! That was incredibly confusing to me :v

@IrisKalmia I did explicitly reference the film's name to try to eliminate the ambiguities. Sorry that didn't work.

@IrisKalmia Having hopefully addressed the confusion, were there other questions I could answer regarding my response? I'm happy to talk about my thoughts in more detail, but only if it's wanted.

@literorrery It's mostly shit that rests in me being unable to process taking pride in something that benefits capital no matter how much it also benefits myself, it's a conversation I've had a lot and kinda don't need to plumb out again at the moment

@IrisKalmia That's wholly legit. I'm not happy about _having_ to work, to be sure, but I draw an internal categorical distinction between the necessary evil of getting paid for my skills and the unnecessary evil of working for companies whose mission statements are opposed to mine. To the extent that _all_ corporate work is immoral by my standards, some forms are less immoral than others. I understand your struggle, and I wish you well in your processing.
