For what it's worth, Trump probably doesn't inhibit your plan. Student visas aren't likely to be greatly impacted, and no university area is going to tolerate bigotry unless it's a religious school.

You can't control anyone, aside from yourself. Not your parents, not your siblings, nor the people fighting to spread hate and fear in the world.

However, you can speak the truth, try to make a difference with others, and always do what's right, even when the situation is a dark one.

That's all anyone can do. It's gotten us this far. It'll get us farther.

I have no words.

Just...Stay safe, now more than ever, and hopefully we'll come to our senses.

Words to live by.  Stay sane, Caroline. All bad things pass, eventually. Especially when it doesn't feel like it.

Just recently applied for a BPO job. While it might be a dead end job, that's still all well and good, because profit anyway. The sad is when Trump imposes tariffs on companies, probably likely BPOs, to 'End the Offshoring'.

With that to consider, it's really, scarily possible that my career in the BPO industry won't last more than six months.

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

There is someone, always, who cares. If not now, not where you are, there will be somebody who will treat you as well as you treat others, as you deserve to be treated.  If there's one person who deserves your attention and care, it's you. Take care of yourself just as you would anybody else. Please don't hurt yourself.

You're not invisible mate, don't worry we can see you.
But if you don't want to feel invisible, you should try and not be invisible on purpose. As a good start to train that, next time, leave out the spoiler tags. Your feelings are valid and valuable, and don't need to be unnescessarily obfuscated.

For any trans people in the US who might be here, if you don't have up to date ID, there are folks on twitter offering advice and help paying for passport fees. I wouldn't expect a Trump-Pence administration to have policies friendly to trans people.

If you really thought it would be a dead end job then it probably wasn't going to be a stable, long lasting career anyway.

So, there it goes. A year. 365 days. It felt like way more. Off to celebrate, eh. I can't really drink due to those liver problems, proably, but at this point I am contemplating getting a friend in mirror so fuck that, I guess.

Would having THE IMAGE deployed cheer you up a little? Maybe?
