I know I shouldn't be shocked by misogyny and I shouldn't get into internet slap fights, etc.

But holy fucking shit. I didn't expect to fully run into grown ass men here on Lemmy who are "genuinely baffled and in disbelief" that women over 55+ can be fit and attractive.

I’m bothered, unmoisturized and not in my lane. That is all I feel like I can say these days.

I don’t have much to say, I just want to say I fucking love every single one of you ladies, trans, and enby friends in this community. The amount of support I see going on here is fucking phenomenal and I love you all for that!

Special shout out to velma, banana, sharkweek, and a few others I’ve replied to or had replies from recently. And of course the lovely LadyButterfly who gets so many convos started with your posts. Too many wonderful people here to type out all y'alls names.

I fucking love all of you so much and I hope you are all having a wonderful year 💚

Yesterday I was a bit stressed but channeled the energy into productivity. Today I just have a headache. I need to take my kid to a playground but nothing to far because ow.

My workplace still hasn’t given me my actual badge yet, I’m on my third week here. Everyday when I clock in I have to find the security guard to make them give me a temp badge, then have to find them at the end of my shift so I can get whatever I traded for a temp badge back.

You’d think it’d be important for an EVS tech to have their own badge quickly so I don’t have to wait for at least half an hour each shift. But guess they don’t want me to have it easy for the first few weeks. I’m lucky I at least have another EVS tech to work with so she can get me around till the security guard can get me a temp badge. So frustrating having to deal with this, literally typed this up while waiting on the security guard to come to his office.
