Excuse Me!
I take Mondays as a slow day. I'm a semi professional church worker.
I also do a lot of work for intentional internet communities
Currently I'm the editor of the tilde.town zine. amongst other things. Wednesday-Sunday are busy for me. I also support a couple of older autistic people 65+ by answering my phone at odd hours and performing seemingly random Google searches or whatever. I'm busy. I like what i do
That's why i take Monday slowly/off completely. Everyone who is not an ableist dingus understands this.
Well this morning one of the aforementioned ableist dingui made a comment about how he can't wait to see me have a full 40 hour work week and fail at it.
That's not what he said but it's what he meant
Excuse me do you think i only do what i do because i can't get a "real job"? Do you believe that your "real job" has more value then mine.. Do you look down on me for taking one day slowly..
Most of the time i can't even take off because... You have to get paid, and it is my job to ensure that happens..
So don't fuck with me Mr Direct Support Specialist. I just might "flake out" on your pending raise... Hmmm think about that or did you just think that happened every 18 months by magic. Or next time i have to negotiate with the various state agencies i might just let them give you only a 1.75% raise instead of that 5% i actually got you this year.
in addition to all the other "bullshit" i do.. I also take care of you. Despite the fact that you do nothing to deserve my time and attention.
I believe that all people have an inherent dignitary and worth. That is not forfeit. No matter what their worth is to the capitalist system, even if you're a shitty person.
So Yes i fight for you too even though you've done nothing in the past two years to earn my commitment
