“What is this on my site!? I’m based in England, not Latvia. Get this latina off!”
The best Lorem Ipsum quote we’ve ever received.

People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.
I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.
A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?
It is a big deal because i’m a transman.
It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.
Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.
At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.
At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.
TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.
Target has had its share of problems, but their willingness to hire LGBT folks has always impressed me. I live in an area with a large LGBT community - all four of the letters well-represented. And the staff at my local Target reflects that. It’s so nice and sadly unexpected to see large companies stepping up like that.
i went to Target twice today and now i don’t feel so bad about it.

I could not care less about sports
But you care
So I check the scores
Because I want you to be in a good mood
Even though we don’t see each other or talk anymore
I think that means I love you

drained
There’s a bath and you put the plug in and you turn the taps on and you pour some bubble bath in or whatever and then you turn your back for like one second and the plug has disappeared. So you find/buy another plug and plug it in and turn the taps on and the bath is filling back up until it starts…draining? Again? What?
Somehow, the plug has disappeared. Meanwhile people are telling you that you need to buy this plug and that plug because you’ll never need to buy another plug again after that and none of the books you’ve read have ever properly covered the issue of a missing plug and the taps are still running, energy pounding straight down the plughole until it turns to a drip.
When the last of the water drains away, you find something else, or you find a quiet voice that lends you a plug, or something of the sort. And you turn the taps on. And the plug is gone again.

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.
Boom.
