Ladies, I’m specifically calling you. We tend to read all job postings as mandatory requirements. They are wish lists, not requirements. Even when they say “requirements”. https://t.co/362iTaYs0s

Worth reiterating. I don’t have a college degree and don’t lie about it on my resume, yet have had no problem getting many jobs where a college degree was a “requirement” and “mandatory.” True of many other areas, too.

No shade but most americans walk around in a literal fog unable to understand even the most basic things that are happening around them

This is pretty much true. Just try to talk to people about most things. It’s impossible. They don’t know anything, and what they do know is an utterly bizarre mix of wrong information that their mother’s neighbor’s dog’s goldfish told them.

It’s mystifying. How did humans ever make something like a Saturn V rocket? Just how?

With all the crazy shit I’ve done in my life, people are surprised by my lack of scars. But I’ve both been lucky and I heal well.

My nose is and always will be broken, though, so that’s not a scar as most people mean but it’s just right out there and it’s not subtle.
