anyways, @skippydumptruck i try to stay away from those kinds of convos at work, but I get dragged in somehow. The crazier ideas I was posting was from a documentary all my co-workers watched (and I guess believe). My mom has always been more okay with male homosexuality than female homosexuality. Heck, she's not even down for bisexuality. Her words to me when discussing my dead cousin's ex-girlfriend now dating a woman and me going "Maybe she's bisexual" was "You really shouldn't flip flop like that"

Stop getting dragged in though
I try! But my job actually requires me to be attached to my desk the majority of the time. While i'm there, I try to have nice positive conversations, but once it steers towards racism or homosexuality, there are only so many times I can run to the fuckin' bathroom before it becomes a problem. If i ignore my supervisor, she comes and slams on my desk to make sure I'm paying attention to what she has to say. So even when I got headphones in, she does this (she does this to EVERYONE under her). I take my headphones out thinking it's work related and it's normally gossip or some shit like this. When I go into the break room for lunch, she wants to talk ALL THE TIME and if I'm in my phone she begins going "WHAT'S SO GREAT IN YOUR PHONE, REAL LIFE IS OUT HERE, FUCKING IDIOTS THINK IT'S SO GREAT BEING IN OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVE ONLINE AND NOT LIVING THEIR OWN" and on and on and on and she rallies against social media as well.
Like, i don't think you guys understand, I cannot fucking escape this shit. The majority of my posts I make in here? I'm on the toilet. She's beyond loud, and even when she was told politely to quiet down, she gets louder. Either it's "I'M GONNA SAY WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANNA SAY" or "I GUESS I'M JUST TOO BLACK FOR (one of her supervisors)" and all this other shit.
and my other coworker, I get along with her the most, if I can keep her off those topics. The rest of my coworkers like our supervisor, but want her to stop being so racist/homophobic loudly. She doesn't have to stop, she just has to stop being loud about it, for them to be okay with it. I try to delve into geek shit, and it's well received most of the time, but my supervisor likes to dominate the conversation.
Hmmm... An advantage of hooking up with a lady or two would mean you could sue for harassment.
I think.
Or probably already the racism thing....
Wait till your probation period is up, and start filing HR complaints.
I'm not sure if i have a probation period, but if it's anything like the government's side, I have a year. To which again, I say

I'm not, currently. I was going to hold out for another 3 months and then start. My resume is so spotty, that I fear I'll be looked at as inconsistent.
I mean, there are days when I actually beg silently to work with all white people, but I'm sure that comes with its own problems.
I just want liberal, not so extremist diverse folks. A fellow black or puerto rican woman to silently give a knowing nod to, but a white girl friend I can joke with too.

Let a woman learn in silence with full submission. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she is to keep silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing, provided they continue in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.
(note to christians: that is from the New Testament so your usual dodge of "all the bad stuff is in that icky old testament we never read" doesn't apply)
aren't 1 and 2 Timothy of decidedly disputed authorship though
they are totally 2nd century forgeries yeah. As are Titus, Ephesians, Colossians and 2 Thessalonians. And Hebrews was not written by Paul it is a 2nd century sermon but it doesn't claim to be by Paul so isn't a forgery just a mistake. But they aren't any more skeevy in their authorship than Revelations.

I just don't want people thinking I'm joining in on these convos or not practicing the sapphic side of my sexuality because I'm a whimp
I mean, I am a whimp
BUT THERE ARE MUCH BIGGER REASONS TO LOOK AT HERE
there are very few political convos I do throw my 2 cents in because it is safe to (and normally along the lines of something I agree with so I don't feel like I'm compromising myself. I try to stay out of these convos as well, but they try to include me and I try to stay as true to myself as possible but respectfully), but most of the time it's just "mmm" or "mhmm".

also my supervisor has been working there for 12 years
how she has not been fired i don't even know. i don't even know how she hasn't been fucking reported.
she always goes on about how she doesn't want to be on the government side, but as I was told, she's burnt so many bridges on the government side that they don't want her.
the 2 days she had stomach flu WERE AMAZING.
I wish she was sick all the time.

II. 1 This little child Jesus when he was five years old was playing at the ford of a brook: and he gathered together the waters that flowed there into pools, and made them straightway clean, and commanded them by his word alone. 2 And having made soft clay, he fashioned thereof twelve sparrows. And it was the Sabbath when he did these things (or made them). And there were also many other little children playing with him.
3 And a certain Jew when he saw what Jesus did, playing upon the Sabbath day, departed straightway and told his father Joseph: Lo, thy child is at the brook, and he hath taken clay and fashioned twelve little birds, and hath polluted the Sabbath day. 4 And Joseph came to the place and saw: and cried out to him, saying: Wherefore doest thou these things on the Sabbath, which it is not lawful to do? But Jesus clapped his hands together and cried out to the sparrows and said to them: Go! and the sparrows took their flight and went away chirping. 5 And when the Jews saw it they were amazed, and departed and told their chief men that which they had seen Jesus do.
III. 1 But the son of Annas the scribe was standing there with Joseph; and he took a branch of a willow and dispersed the waters which Jesus had gathered together. 2 And when Jesus saw what was done, he was wroth and said unto him: O evil, ungodly, and foolish one, what hurt did the pools and the waters do thee? behold, now also thou shalt be withered like a tree, and shalt not bear leaves, neither root, nor fruit. 3 And straightway that lad withered up wholly, but Jesus departed and went unto Joseph's house. But the parents of him that was withered took him up, bewailing his youth, and brought him to Joseph, and accused him 'for that thou hast such a child which doeth such deeds.'
IV. 1 After that again he went through the village, and a child ran and dashed against his shoulder. And Jesus was provoked and said unto him: Thou shalt not finish thy course (lit. go all thy way). And immediately he fell down and died. But certain when they saw what was done said: Whence was this young child born, for that every word of his is an accomplished work? And the parents of him that was dead came unto Joseph, and blamed him, saying: Thou that hast such a child canst not dwell with us in the village: or do thou teach him to bless and not to curse: for he slayeth our children.
edit: you might be thinking this is leading up to Jesus learning an important lesson about being less of a dick with his superpowers. Nope. Kids stay dead.
