 It bothers me my friend thought being pretty was any consolation for being able to work on a professional level with aforementioned rock star.

It bothers me greatly anyone on a personal level sees me that way.. that I should be satisfied being a visual thing they can look at, and not yanno... a person with talents, skills, agency.....

It bothers me that both someone I've known for 2 decades, and a famous rock star think it ok to diminish me in the same way. 
 Fucked to think my career would be in hands like that.

Fucked completely that I get treated that way by both complete amateurs, and people in the god damned rock and roll hall of fame - while BOTH acknowledge my achievements and excellence at the technical parts.

I hate them in ways I have no human words for, only clenched fists and gnashed teeth. 
 @bb543141 so sorry for hearing this 
 @20e35419 friend..

Before I graduated, the rock star said I was qualified to teach. Then the year I graduated, he himself took a job at every institution in the area.

And then he stopped communicating about working with him at all.

So he burned a bridge and took all the jobs I was looking at, and knowing he was up for them I would've never been hired anyway.

If another job comes up, I dunno if I'd get it because of him. 
 @bb543141 I'm so sorry to hear this Nadia. I wish I could be surprised. In the year of our lord fvcking 2023 and here we still are..😒 
 @483faf46 completely ignored by somebody else inbetween their career levels too.. all gatekeeping my progress because of being unable to see past my being a pretty woman. Whichever part of it got in the way first does not matter, pretty.. woman.. either way.

They can't think of me as a colleague, no matter if I overachieve.

Are not musicians supposed to be stylish? Easy to market if they're hot? I am confused I guess as to what goals I was meant to shoot for here.

Fuuuccckkk.
