it really bothers me that we’re forced to dull down our personalities for the sake of “professionalism”

that shit is FAKE https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht"> MADE UP

it’s made to be oppressive... argue with a wall https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht"> the only people who benefit from “professionalism” are old white neurotypical men

i’m naturally loud and expressive and i’m irritated that my first thought after just being myself is “damn maybe i’m being too much.”
