PINNED POST

welcome to my sick and twisted mind i'm pond and i use shark/sea/they pronouns. i'm an adult and a genderqueer dyke (but i like the nb flag so i use that mostly). mutuals can shoot me in the head and/or ask for my discord

i post about anything i like. currently that includes fantasy high, cookie run kingdom, and five nights at freddy's. i'm a veteran from the DSMP so posts about chommy or cfoolish or cpurpled might pop up once and awhile too and there's just nothing I can do about that, sorry. i try to tag my posts but usually i don't, so if we're moots and u need something tagged just lmk ^_^ my og posts are tagged as #pond speaks and my art is tagged as #my art

i don't have a solid DNI. i try not to engage in online discourse but i am a little hater so be warned of that. i block freely and will sometimes block people when they mildly annoy me. mutuals you can be as annoying as you want i will cheer and clap.

IF YOU HATE THE RAT GRINDERS I WILL ATTACK YOU WITH MISSILES AND BOMBS

Winter Jason 🔴🦇. Had a blast adapting his red hood and trench coat into a winter attire. Kinda want to go for a sleek cutting on his jacket to pop those big broad shoulder. Do shoot some suggestions on what character you want to see next!

Every day I handle more money than I will ever make. Every day.

At the start of my employment, my boss showed me videos of people stealing, and we both had a chuckle about it. How silly they were! There was a camera overhead, and it’s not to watch the shoppers. See, we can’t actually stop shoplifters. They get away with it maybe nine out of ten times. But we, who are watched and tallied and witnessed? We are always caught.

At first it was hard to hold one hundred dollars bills. An amount I had never seen before. An amount that didn’t exist in my household. It’s normal now. Here is something that is not for me.

“What the hell, I’ll take another,” says the man, pondering our 200 dollar watches. What the hell. Total comes to 580 and not even a flinch in his face. I have been working for 11 hours today and made only 110 dollars. It will go to my rent. Today I work for free, it feels. When I get my check, I will have 35 dollars left for food and saving.

The six hundreds he hands me go into the cash register. For a moment, I imagine having money. Then I put it away, counting out his change.

I know for a fact we sell our products for double what they are worth. That I could be making commission. That they could hand me those 580 dollars and change my life and not even mark the difference in their checkbooks. He’s not the only sale they make today, but I am the reason they made it. He’s not the only one spending 600 dollars, but if I hadn’t spent two hours with him telling me about his life, he wouldn’t have spent any. I go home. I don’t own a watch.

I have watched and rewatched a video on how to make salmon four ways. My shopping list is always the same. Pasta. Rice. Tuna. If I can afford butter it was a good week. I dream of the world I will never walk in, where I can throw the best fish fillet in the cart with a shrug. I hold hundreds in my hand and look up at the camera. I put them under the cash drawer.

I go to work. I scrap together my savings. I eat my bowl of rice slowly. My manager takes a paid week off from work just for his birthday. He owns a yacht. 

I’m not worth the cost of a watch.

i wrote this while i was working at orlando’s walt disney world parks.

i was part of their college program. i moved to the state for it. they legally owned the building i was living in and still charged me rent. i ostensibly was being charged to work for them. it was a 2 bedroom apartment and they placed 6 adult women in it in forced triples.

as many as one in ten disney employees have experienced homelessness while working for the company. despite huge efforts to unionize, strike, or otherwise demand fair treatment; disney has refused to increase employee quality of life.

disney admits publicly that a good portion of their success is because the employees (“cast members”) are dedicated, passionate, and selfless. this is never reflected in pay. even “face” characters (ie those that are princesses etc) make barely above a minimum wage.

at the time that i worked there, i made $8.50 an hour. at one point i was asked to create a human shield around a bag because a bomb dog had alerted to it. for eight fucking dollars an hour.

i now work a very cushy office job. i have bought the salmon and cooked it all four ways.

i go to the store. i am nice to the person behind the counter. she looks up at the camera while she counts out my change. there is nothing fundamentally different about her and i.

we are both worth more than the watch, anyway.

oh the irony of simon the butcher being treated like no more than a piece of meat by the consolidation. just another animal sacrifice. paying the price for daring to live.

[spiteyote-resurrected]

oh yeah reminder not to give the evil fucking scum who run this website a goddamn cent this month when they inevitably roll out whatever theyre selling for it. Find a trans woman to pay instead

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
