25 Times The Office Was Spot On About Life

1. When you frequently speak your mind but many people are offended

2. When the endless amount of homework, errands, chores, prior commitments, etc. finally gets to you but you have something better in mind, because you always have something better in mind

3. When you give up on all parts of your life because functioning as a human has finally gotten too hard

4. When your friends hang out without you ONE TIME

5. And your face exactly when the same friends bring up something embarrassing from your past

6. So then you just think maybe you need some new friends

7. But then you realize you actually have such a strong love for these same friends

8. You when some really cute stranger does a really nice thing for you like holding the door

9. But then you realize someone really cute doing something really nice for you doesn't mean marriage

10. And then you think, "Maybe I'm destined to be alone forever"

11. Your exact response when you come into contact with the most annoying person you have ever met

12. And you when your parents force you to go to a family gathering you really don't care about

13. When you hit rock bottom and you try to convince yourself that you're okay but clearly you're totally not

14. That one time you passed that final with flying colors after suffering a whole semester with an awful professor

15. Every time you order a 10 piece McNugget

16. And you after proving everyone wrong after doing the thing they said you couldn't do

17. When you check your bank account and there's $1.43 to your name

18. And when you try to relate with a group of people about something you have no idea about because you really just want to fit in

19. You after that one time you tried to help your friend with a serious problem and they just shot down your advice

20. You after the single time you ever acted responsibly in a serious situation

21. After the off-chance you do or say something really intellectual, but you actually googled it/heard someone else say it

22. You at 10 a.m., 3 p.m., and 9 p.m. of each day

23. When it comes to work, school, a social life, being normal..

24. You when people post their opposing political views on social media

25. And finally, an accurate representation of your entire life on a daily basis

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
