I unironically adore weird teenagers who don’t know exactly what the hell is going on yet. This kid came in for a job interview at the grocery store today wearing very nice slacks and suspenders and a bow tie, with his lil pink hair all done up, and I’m just like, “Oh, we gotta hire this kid. He kicks ass. Motherfucker’s going to groceries prom and we couldn’t stop him if we tried. He’s my manager now; I only answer to grocery prom kid.”
Wait wait wait what are you SUPPOSED to wear business casual is NOT SPECIFIC
If you like to present more feminine:
A skirt and blouse;
Or nice slacks and blouse;
Or a dress that looks like something a news anchor would wear (tights optional, but personally I recommend them as a measure against wardrobe malfunctions)
A blazer is optional, but makes you look more professional as well
If you like to present more masculine:
Slacks and a long-sleeved button up shirt
Usually you want black or navy slacks, khaki is also fine though it reads slightly more casual
A tie is optional but dresses the outfit up, so I recommend it
A bowtie is also appropriate and reads as “quirky”
So do suspenders
Like with feminine-presenting outfits, a nice jacket can level up the professionalism-level of your outfit
Some places allow jeans as part of business casual; some don’t. For an interview, assume they don’t. You also want to aim for about one level of formality above your interviewers.
Example:
If you interview at Best Buy, where they dress like this:
Wear khakis and a nice dress shirt.
If you interview at Stock Image Company where they dress like this:
that new animal crossing character named sasha that uses he/him pronouns i say congrats on the gender
I love Sasha but can y’all remember that other countries exist and Sasha isn’t inherently a feminine name? 🙄
In this episode of “questions that have never been asked before”: Is this rabbit a genderqueer icon or just slavic?
I just looked up Sasha’s names in the other game localizations, and there’s a whole lot of interesting things going on!
As we’ve already covered, Sasha is primarily a masculine name in Slavic languages, but it is typically feminine in English-speaking countries.
The funny thing is that in the Russian version, his name isn’t even Sasha! It’s Геррит (or Gerrit, which is also his German name)
Meanwhile, Gerrit is a name of Dutch origin, but in the Dutch version his name is Sasha.
Ariel is another one of those names that can be masculine or feminine depending on where you are, though in Spanish-speaking countries it’s usually masculine.
Alix is also a gender-neutral name, though it should be noted that in French, it is more commonly a feminine name.
The Japanese name ミッチェル and Korean name 미첼 both translate to Mitchell, while the Chinese name 蜜雪兒 could be Mitchell or Michelle.
It seems that for many of these, they intentionally picked gender-neutral or ambiguous names. So in conclusion, congrats! This rabbit is indeed a genderqueer icon.
(Please correct me if I’m wrong about any of these, especially Chinese and Korean as I do not speak or read either of them. I also couldn’t find anything on the gender connotations of the name Sasha in Italian or Dutch, so if anyone has any info on this I’d love to know!)
So he’s consistently both androgynous and foreign.
When I read “space…the final frontier” there’s a small part of my brain that is that audio of Patrick Stewart saying it but with a ridiculous french accent that makes it “eh-spay-zeh…ze final frahn-tee-aire” while Jonathan Frakes absolutely loses it in the background.
I really thought I was the only one who experienced this.
Tbh there is an overabundance of media about a nonhuman creature’s deep desire and journey to become human, and so very few of the opposite
Many of those movies/shows are very good and I like them but the whole time I’m feeling like it’s tragic in a way. The thought of a creature giving up its otherness to assimilate into humanity is really fuckin sad to me. Or a human getting the chance to be something else freaking out and rejecting it.
Just makes me feel all the more alienated, y'know. Like “damn why don’t I relate to this allegedly universal enthusiasm for being human” and “why is the desire to be anything else always wrong”
Guess what? I’ve got a great 2001 animated film starring Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy to recommend to you
thinking about how all the adults were absolutely bullshitting when they said that school days are the best days of your life???? like whatever issues i have going on now, i can buy myself little treats like a book or food whenever i want. i feel like im stagnating in my current job so im looking for a new one. imagine if i was bored of school, no one would let me go to a new one. I don’t have to hang out with anyone I don’t want to. being an adult is fuckjng amazing and i was so right to feel trapped as a kid
