Jan. 24th, 2023 09:48 pmFound this article online that explains what is happening in my department at work - a bit too aptly.
Quiet Quitting.
The term “quiet quitting” recently took off in the media, originating from Tik Tok users talking about being burnt out and fed up with work. It’s most often used to describe the scenario in which an employee, rather than outright quitting, instead stops taking initiative and simply does the bare minimum required of them. It’s often described as a change in mindset at work, often as a result of demotivation, burnout, or stress.
Why are so many people “quiet quitting” their jobs?
( excerpt )

I feel like I've quietly quit my church as well (excuse me, society). Haven't watched a service in weeks, and can't get up the energy to go to one in person. I've never really been much of a church-going person. I don't like rituals. Sermons either engage or annoy. And choral music isn't my thing. I am an agnostic, irreligious, theist. And yes, I know agnoism and theism are kind of contradictory, but I never said I made sense.
There's a kind of malaise that I'm feeling at the moment. Although I'm happier than I was in the fall, and far less stressed out. Setting up the little artist studio really cheered me up. When I look over at it - I feel a sense of accomplishment and joy that I can't quite express. When before it was set up, and just a derelict work station with stacks of paper on it - I felt depressed and overwhelmed. It's really the little things, isn't it?

On Star Wars Twitter - Mark Hamil kind of defended JK Rowling?? But I couldn't make heads or tails of it enough to agree or disagree. Or get upset about it. I'm also not sure if he's defending her, or India Willowby.
Maybe you can figure it out for me? Twitter confuses me at times.

This makes no sense. First, it's not possible to be more a woman than well anyone gender wise. Genitalia, intercourse with a man, or having babies doesn't necessarily mean you are a woman. For one thing men have sex with men. You can artificially inseminate a fetus in a surrogate and have a child. Someone who feels like a man on the inside, can end up in a woman's body and have kids. This is an individual thing, folks. Gender isn't a contest. You can't be more a man than anyone else either. We all have masculine and feminine aspects, what's different about each and every one of us is the balance of those aspects. Gender is binary, it is a spectrum. I know this is hard for people to grasp because they are binary thinkers, but sorry, it's not.
Also, I don't know why people feel the need to define their identity as solely their gender. Or as their gender.
Feminism can be annoying at times.
We all care way too much about what other people think for our good.
Second: What the hell does "Citation Needed" even mean?
And third: what exactly is Hamil stating? Whose standing up and being empowered here?
The people who responded clearly didn't know either. I thought about liking it, but realized, I had no idea what he was saying.

There's no snowflake challenge...so you'll have to do without. Don't you feel deprived? ;-)
