In two weeks it'll be a year since I got laid off.

According to my spreadsheet I crossed 300 applications yesterday, with over 75% of those receiving no reply at all, 19% being rejections, and the remaining 6% being either too recent to categorize (I allow a two week period since application before I file it as "No Reply") or edge cases like a scam or likely scam.

I did have a good interview earlier this week, the only one in recent memory to recognize me for having valuable skills, but they're pausing hiring for the position.

if the world wants me around it's not doing a very good job of making the pitch agony-deep

You do not under any circumstances have to hand it to him but that's a funny way to phrase your homophobia

I think there's a meaningful difference in that the colonization of Palestine is so recent. All the examples you give are from over a hundred to several hundred years ago, and so much time has passed that addressing the damage becomes more complex. Living Palestinians have been kicked out of their homes by colonizers and could be returned to them, whereas the brunt of land and property theft against Native Americans for example was already done by the start of the 20th century. That doesn't mean it's not worth addressing or impossible to address, just that it'd look different.

That isn't PTO exactly - that's just a day I'm not on the schedule.

but I do get paid for it, and the position is hourly. it's weird because it quite literally is paid time off, but not Paid Time Off, ya know

I'm extending a little grace because it's an addiction recovery center and apparently he's very outspoken about addiction and all that, so I can see how it got there. But if hired that would be like my #2 thing to bring up to my boss like "hey you know that guy is a SA'er right??"
