    “I am LGBT and Mentally Ill,” one post by an employee on an internal Meta platform called Workplace reads. “Just to let you know that I’ll be taking time out to look after my mental health.”

    Ah, the old calling in to work because you’re too gay

    So the queerphobia is gross in its own right, but the more quiet part is that ableism and abusing and discriminating against mentally ill people is a-ok too (and while sexual orientation and gender identity clearly aren’t mental illnesses, there is also nothing wrong with being mentally ill, but unfortunately the readiness of some to distance themselves from and throw mentally ill people under the bus to save themselves will very quickly become apparent, and everyone needs to consciously be avoiding that trap).

      He’s been trying to get attention as an “alpha”. He’s courting the UFC a lot. It’s fucking hilarious honestly.

        Yeah sucking up to an old fat man with incontinence really screams alpha. If only Zuckerberg had had a chance to grow up outside of his ridiculous tech bro bubble he might have learned some basic social skills and built an actual identity. Instead he’s scrambling in front of an audience of millions to not look like the husk of a human that he is.
