Babs

Bathrobes should be considered acceptable business wear.

I'm already wearing the poofy pants and scarf. I just need to find a few tops like that.

At least there are lots of flowy garments for women. Bf is getting jealous of me wearing poofy wizard clothes, but he's afraid that if he got a thawb or a kaftan or something everyone would just assume he's Muslim.

If I get to come to work dressed like an Akira Toriyama character, so should he.

Western men's fashion has a distinct lack of cool robes.

So can you just claim credit for these things after they happen, or do they have actual evidence about who did it? Like how does one prove that their group did it?

Yeah it's all very Sturm und Drang.

Faust was just such a Chad that the deal didn't take - he asks Mephistopheles to make him so happy that he doesn't want to strive for more, but then doesn't allow himself to be satisfied. Haven't read it since college, but IIRC much of the story is about exactly that kind of rugged individualism sigma grindset shit that so many guys worship.

In Goethe's version Faust gets away with it.

If I didn't have to put half my income toward rent I would have probably settled down with a family by now even despite being trans. It's painfully thinking what I could have done if I hadn't had to give various landlords close to $200,000 through my adult life (I'm not even old).

I've had a tummy ache and heartburn the last couple days and constantly feel like I need to throw up just a little bit. Clearly I should keep catastrophizing this and getting increasingly anxious over whatever horrible disease I have that is definitely going to end me in an awful manner.
