#Employability
Our value doesn’t depend on our employability, but our employability *does* depend on challenging the perception that autistic = unemployable.

My employability.
You're Gen X. You can bring back one thing from the 80s. What is it?

Got this incredible message from a guy on IG.

This is why I refuse to anglicize my name for print, even tho it would help my career. Having a very Arabic/Muslim name has hindered my employability my whole life, but it might make it easier for kids like Tarik in the future. I really needed this.

“.. large tech companies have collectively laid off more than 150,000 workers, unraveling what many tech workers once perceived as a guarantee of affluence and employability.”

Who’s laughing at the employability of humanities majors now?
It is worth saying that putting “Africana studies” in scare quotes as if it’s a ridiculous concept is not a political argument. It’s just racism. “Africa is not worthy of a major” is the implication. Yeah dude you’re just racist. (From Gerard Baker at the WSJ today)

Fuck it, nudie Tummy Tuesday featuring hotel mirror lighting (and blurred face to protect the employability of the innocent 😇)

Saw a transphobe on Facebook arguing that Sandy Peggie's racism shared in her *work group chat* are her "private thoughts" and should not impact her employability, fuck me, these people are insane.

Research on your own with states has the highest Welfare/Food Stamp recipients, Illnesses & Drug Abuse, Domestic Violence, Poor Education, and lack of employability skills but have an Evangelical church on every street!

Unexpectedly, getting my tattoo (of an axolotl) has actually IMPROVED my employability (as a guy who sells axolotls and related axolotl-keeping stuff)

“Employability … interdisciplinarity”? Have our unis stopped believing in education?

I take more naps than a narcoleptic toddler but that should have no bearing on my employability, right???

Yes! Humanities majors get jobs!

Which is quite separate from humanities *departments* getting funding. We're under-funded for ideological reasons, alongside mistaken cultural assumptions about employability.

But our majors get jobs! At a high rate! History is a *good* major, so is Classics!

Republicans believe that employability begins at conception.

Combing through humanities students, while combing over STEM students, while closing Humanities programmes and making Humanities academics redundant as surplus to the employability agenda. The market, in 2026.

Happy Trans Day of Employability: the day where you give me a job

What HE managers fail to understand is that in the context of the Humanities, ‘employability’ isn’t teaching coding or carpentry, but skills around writing, presenting, reasoning, evaluation, analysis, research etc. In an 80% service economy, these are the skills that fundamentally matter.

The employability of all advanced humanities degrees is so low as to be indistinguishable from zero.

Also, the UK right wing content market is actually small and in many cases you are torching your wider employability for the ability to scratch a living, UNLESS you get a bigger, richer, US audience.
the other part of it is the UK in particular has a lot of RW content creators who basically want to portray the UK as much more in decline than it actually is

I am deeply concerned for my employability as a trans woman over the next 4+ years. This is some truly evil shit
internally at Meta:
-trans and nonbinary themes stripped from Messenger
-enforcement policy now allows for the denial of trans people's existence
-tampons removed from men's restrooms
-DEI programs shuttered
-Kaplan briefed top conservative influencers the night before policy changes were announced

An internet debate took off after a recruiter, Caitlin Wehniainen, questioned whether it’s appropriate to show up for a job interview with an iced coffee in hand. Online discussions sparked questions about what the act says about their employability and professionalism.

The industry also fails to bear the social costs of the terrible damage it does to people’s finances, mental health, employability, families and more.
