just curious. bc there’s this school rly close to my house with no cams on the outside and a great wall on the roof that looks out onto a major street. the school is also rly easy to climb and i’m just wondering if it would be considered toy to paint it?

i do urbex quite a bit but i’m so afraid of heights so i don’t climb high things usually. and i also don’t plan on it. i was just wondering if any of yall are/were afraid of heights and if you are how do you deal with it?

idk if this is the right place but here goes.

so my buddy asked me to draw him some graffiti for a quick sketch in a larger work he was doing. i’ve been drawing „graffiti„ in notebooks and stuff for a long time and when i showed him he thought it was rly good and bet me $300 i wouldn’t actually tag smth.

im not worried abt the legality of it. i just need help with what i actually need. like what brand of spray paint is good, what i should look for, how to not get caught etc. idk if i’m gonna keep on doing it after but i need this money.

I just need to get this off my chest

So im a catholic. Always have been, probably always will be. And when I was baptised my godmother gave me a silver cross necklace. I found it in a drawer abt 2 years ago while I was cleaning my room and have worn it nearly every day since.

I work as a swim instructor/coach/lifeguard and I fucking love my job. I love the place I work, I love my coworkers, I love that I get to work with kids and especially that I get to work with kids with special needs. Id say 90%+ of the experiences I’ve had at this place has been positive either between me and coworkers, superiors, and of course the kids and parents I have to deal with. I’ve never had any complaints once.

Over the summer we run day camps.  There’s a normal day camp and a swimming day camp that goes in the pool twice a day. But since I was away last week today was my first day, so there were a lot of campers I didn’t know. My job is to help run the swim camp while they are in the pool, do lessons, run games, deal with sign-ins and sign-outs, and help with admin.  

There was this one camper who’s parents came to sign them out (camper is nb and well call them x) and were really nice to me while we were dealing with that. I dropped my pen after ticking x’s name off the attendance list and bent down to pick it up. Our uniform is a pretty loose tank top so my necklace flopped out from under it and as soon as x’s parents saw it they started getting kind of rude and dismissive and asked to talk to my supervisor. so I called her over and left. 

About 5 minutes later my supervisor called me over and asked me to take my necklace off. I asked why and she said that my necklace made x uncomfortable bc of what it stands for and how it support homo and transphobic values. Also because it was a safety hazard since someone could choke me. I was like excuse me? first of all x certainly didn’t seem uncomfortable when they were laughing their head off and splashing around playing games with me and the rest of the camp for the nearly 3 hours I was with them. And secondly pretty much every female coworker I have (and that’s like 70% of em) wear necklaces regularly and they dont have to take them off (I didn’t actually say this bc I was so utterly confused.) Then she told me to just go home (there was about 30-45 minutes left at this point).

I’ve worked here for nearly a year now (I know its not the longest of times but its long enough to make relationships and to know people pretty well) and I’ve worn this necklace every single day. like I have gay coworkers, I have trans coworkers. I literally asked them if I had ever done or said anything to make them uncomfortable after I got home and they all said no. Actually some of the ones im closer with said “no dude, you’re chill af. Why do you ask? You’re like my favourite religious person.” 

And I got an email from one of the managers last night about how if I got another complaint like this my contract could be suspended while they “deal with this situation” or I could even get fired.

I dont know what to do. I can’t see a single valid reason why I can’t wear my necklace. The thing about it being something someone could choke me with is bullshit, it’s thin as a spaghetto, it’s snapped under less force than it would require to even leave a mark on my neck. But I know they are serious about firing me if it happens again. Like this necklace is part of me at this point. i get just taking it off at work would fix all of this but I dont want to stand by this bullshit. Like you wouldn’t make a muslim take off her hijab right? (Yes I know it’s not totally the same but yk what I mean).

I just think it’s so unfair. Fuck this bullshit bro. All this because im religious and I wear a necklace. I’ve never had complaints, my boss and all my supervisors have liked me. Wow. am i overreacting or is this my fault?

for context: i have this friend who is a drummer in an band. nothing big just some little garage band that plays in like pubs and stuff and it’s mostly just for shits and giggles yk? but recently their bassist and singer (who were dating) broke up and the bassist left the band. this friend of mine asked if i wanted to join bc i played the bass so i said yes.

thing is they play like alt/punk/emo music and when i told some of my “friends“ at school about it they called me corny, or a poser, or cringy, or they said i’m trying to hard to be cool. and stuff like that.

i admit i’m not emo and don’t look like someone who’d fw punk rock (skinny blond catholic white guy) but i love the music and have always wanted to be in a band. i’m not ever going to leave bc of what people say i’m just wondering if yall agreed with them or not.
