Apparently I’m disgusting because I only brush and floss at night. I wish I was the sort of person who brushed after every meal but I just can’t be bothered. I haven’t had a cavity in years though, so I guess it works for me.

You want a functional resume, which focuses more on skills rather than work history. I know a CV isn’t the exact same thing as a resume, but it’s similar enough that if you searched “functional resume examples” you would have a good starting point. You can always include skills that you obtained through education/hobbies/volunteer activities too.

I guess I should clarify I start offering hugs to people. I would never just wrap my arms around someone unless I knew it was ok.

I have the most embarrassing quirk when I drink. I get super emotional and start giving out hugs to people I would never hug sober.

This sort of discrimination is very real. I work in vocational rehabilitation and I’ve had to have these sort of frank discussions with clients, especially if they aren’t getting interviews when they’re well qualified.

You are right about government hiring taking forever. It took me about 5-6 months from the time I applied to my first government job to actually starting.

I don’t think that definition is widely accepted. I think most people generally believe racism is characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

If you are white and call yourself white, most people would not consider that a racist statement.

This is beautiful! I would be so touched if my partner went to all this trouble to make me something like this.

That story made me sick. The criminal justice system in the US is unimaginably cruel and fucked up.

I didn’t realize the vaccine conspiracy theory community moved on to dogs, but I guess it’s not really surprising. Follow the advice of your vet, not your weird uncle’s Facebook posts.
