Dad got four months in jail, mother for house arrest for three months.

Pretty lenient considering they let an infant suffer needlessly.

Remember when that black mother left her kids in the running car to go to a job interview? She was sentenced to 18 years of probation. Wow..

Remember the black mom who left her kids IN A FOOD COURT for a job interview & was charged with child abandonment? Wow. Interesting

I haven’t seen it said, so I’ll say it.

If you look at it from a certain perspective, Diamond Days (and in a way–all of SU) is a metaphor for transphobia and dead naming.

Steven has spent his life being compared to Rose. Rose is gone. It’s Steven now. Everyone remembers and misses Rose, but his family loves Steven.

When Blue speaks to Yellow, she says, “She prefers to go by Steven now.” And all of the diamonds refer to him as “she/her/Pink.”

When White (substitute a trans/homophobic grandma if you will) demands him to Look like Pink again, he snaps. “SHE’S GONE!”

White tells him that he’s deceived himself and that Pink is still in there. She’s not. When Steven sees that it is–in fact–HIM inside of his gem, he is so overjoyed.

Idk. Just like all of the misgendering and deadnaming in this season got to me. It made me understand the trans community in a way that I’ve tried and failed to do myself.

However, as Steven himself sang,

“I don’t need you to respect me, I respect me. I don’t need you to love me, I love me. I just need you to know-You could know me if you changed your mind.”

That song legitimately made me cry because it’s showing that the ultimate validation ultimately comes from within.

At least that’s the way I saw it

Workers, when have you said “fuck this, I quit”?

I used to work at McDonalds (I know). Opening usually involved me at the front counter with a headset on so I could do drive-through orders and handle making coffee / putting orders together / taking money at the front from the little old people that came in at the crack of dawn every morning. We would also have a manager who was there to be important and one person in the kitchen. We’re a small rural town so usually this is fine but we were on kind of a major highway so sometimes it would get busy out of nowhere.

Depending on the manager the amount of help we had would vary wildly. One morning we got super busy and I started cracking under the pressure. I’m a fantastic multi-tasker but my drive-through line was backing up since I was trying to juggle them and all the walk-in folks from my front registers and when it gets packed…well, it’s fun. I glance around trying to find my manager for help. I see him on one of our cameras – he’s outside smoking a cigarette around the side of the building. Mind you, this is like his third trip out to smoke this morning. I’m absolutely dying trying to get caught up. Customers are being passive aggressive saying they will come behind the counter and get their own coffee and stuff. I have people yelling at me in my headset from the drive through. I end up having to remove the headset just to try to get the frontline sorted. I start making progress with the front but I basically had to sacrifice the drive-through customers for two minutes.

Apparently the cars outside start yelling at my manager and interrupt his smoke break so he comes in, sees me with my headset off and goes berserk. He’s like “WHOS TAKING THE DRIVE-THRU ORDERS?” I’m in the middle of trying to get a fresh pot of coffee going so I sort of auto-respond “No one. Hang on.” as I continue to dash around behind our counter to grab a fruit & yogurt parfait for an order. He basically gets in my way and starts giving me shit. Loudly, talking to me like I’m a dog. I point to the camera and yell, loudly enough to disrupt the entire inside of the restaurant. “I’m these two registers, first window, second window, and I’m bagging. I’m like FOUR PEOPLE and you’re out behind the building not doing SHIT!”

His eyes go wide. I can tell he knows I’m holding on by my last thread. He’s sighs. And he’s like “You’re in a ton of trouble but we can talk about this later.” No. Fuck him. I’m done. I’m all riled up from random customers yelling at me. I toss him the headset. “You want to give me shit for not being able to run like four stations with no support? Run five. I’ll watch.” I remove my name badge.

He went to say something to me. I turn away, facing the one girl working in the kitchen who is watching this all play out. I remember telling her “I’m so sorry.” and then I dropped my name badge, toss my hat on the counter, grab a water cup, put on (and zip) my jacket so my uniform is covered up. I go to the drink fountain, fill my water cup, and then I go sit on the far side of the seating area and watch him go down in flames. He ends up ALSO taking off the headset and picking up the phone so he can spam call the whole workforce one by one trying to call for help. It’s like 5AM so no one is going to accept a call from their work number. About ten minutes into his struggle he ends up very loudly pleading with me to come back from behind the counter. I can’t even see him on the other side of the sea of people swarming the counter at this point.

I call back “I need a smoke first!” and I go outside.

I don’t smoke. I’ve never smoked. I drive home.

He ended up losing his job.
