I’ve heard you can’t even smell the excrement anymore after a century or three. It’s basically an eternal spa day.

Since becoming a parent, it is now glaringly obvious which people with Takes About Parenting are not parents themselves. It's like getting They Live glasses that reveal which people need to shut the fuck up.

it’s this part right here! the old guys are staying around too long— it’s depressing job prospects all down the ladder! the author is upset that all SW positions are filled by women and people of color, but folks in those positions no longer have the chance to advance like the people above them did!
![This was systematic discrimination, documented in writing, implemented without consequence. It’s striking how casual it all was. “Chicago Fire—the UL [upper level] can be [anyone], but we need diverse SWs [staff writers].” As in other industries, upper-level positions—writers with experience and credits—could still be filled by white men. But the entry-level jobs, the staff writer and co-producer positions that Matt and thousands of other aspiring writers were competing for, were reserved for others.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qq27vq6ggafdmqdhi62f57jo/bafkreiatp36riajslwxe6oqf5j3nmqfrn2copv4m7o4sl6dlpc557qtlfa@jpeg)

“If you were thirty in 2014, you hit the wall.” Or, hear me out, the recession depressed the job prospects of all persons in their 20s during the late 2000s and boomers worked to a later age resulting in less room for advancement, and none of that had to do with a push for greater diversity?
