RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

My employer's version of Christmas/holiday gifts for the employees was letting us pick through the bin of shit that was dropped off for promotional purposes, like water bottles and staplers and pens and shit. One year he was feeling generous and got us all five dollar gift cards to Walmart.

Despite that, it's still the best job i've had and i'm not sure whether that says more about me or the field I chose to work in
