Share your petty gripes about how the Coronavirus has messed up your plans. Let’s make a thread of complaints together. It’s okay. They can be as small or stupid as you want.

I’ll start. My petty gripe during this whole thing is that I was saving up to buy a computer and some nice software so I could teach myself special effects and advanced video editing for my backup career plan and now that my job is shut down I have to keep all my savings to apply for grad schools next year and since my summer job got cancelled I might not even have enough for that.

Also my favorite taco shop is shut down and I’m pissed about it!

My summer research internship was canceled and now I'm dreading feeling useless all summer.

I’m still getting married but my reception is postponed! I have to do all this stressing over again in a few months.

In the beginning of May was going to be the last vacation I would’ve been able to take with my family. I had it planned since last June and fought super hard to get them the best room that I could. I was also going to the Villain’s night at the Magic Kingdom with my sister, which was going to be my early birthday treat to her. 

Not only that, but it pushed back the Sanders Sides video, which was going to be the last video I could watch the premiere of (hopefully) with my sister. I’ve never watched a Sanders Sides video premiere without her before and was super stoked to close out season two with her.

I can’t talk with my school counseled anymore

I am defending my Three papers for an oral examination to get my Master’s degree. Instead of an in person defense we are defending in an online format. Which is hard for me since i am more confortavle when in person with people.

[zac--efren]

I reblogged this last year and I hung out with blink-182 backstage on March 30. Reblogging again because it worked the first time.

[scientiablr]

honestly, last year one of the best days of my life happened in late March

[easy-revenge]

Wouldn’t mind some happiness in late March.

Listen, please watch Utopia Falls on Hulu. It IS cheesy, it IS poorly acted (looking right at YOU TEMPO!!!) but it IS AMAZING! It’s incredibly inclusive, there are mostly people of color, lgbtq characters, science fiction, romance, music, A NATIVE BOY DISCOVERING HIS TRUE ANCESTRY (I love you so FUCKIN MUCH APOLLO) and a LOT of found identity and just general awesomeness. also don’t trust anything Sage says, thanks

Leverage episodes I would write if the show were still going

“the let’s go steal the Oscars job” involving Zachery winning his Oscar and naming it after sophie

“the three ghosts job” where they totally Scrooge some guy to make him better (I wish this really existed)

“the off world job” where we finally get that Stargate crossover we almost got

“the Bigfoot job” they make some jackass deforesting guy believe in bigfoot

“the nanna job (working title)” where we meet hardisons nanna

“the picket fence job” where they have to go undercover in the suburbs for some reason and it’s full of ot3 fluff

Tell me your leverage episodes!

[innytoes]

I 1000% need the Nana episode in my life.

Also: 

“The Dog Days of Summer Job”, where the team rescues an animal shelter from some evil property developers who want their land to build overpriced luxury condos. Eliot bonds with a dog. There is at least one scene of Parker breaking in somewhere with a kitten (or two) on her person. 

“The Model Job” where some sleazy company is pressuring models into doing unsafe shoots with creepy photographers and also they pressure the models into starving themselves. Eliot goes undercover as a model. There is a montage scene where Hardison and Parker help him make a portfolio.

“The Scooby Doo Job”. Possibly right after the Bigfoot Job above for maximum lols. Someone old white guy is straight up faking a haunting or something to tank property values. Hardison says Jinkies at least once. Parker is like: of course ghosts are real I saw one once but this ghost isn’t, duh. Eliot punches the ‘ghost’.

“The Sidekick Job”. Hardison has been tracking this young vigilante-type Youth because 1) superheroes, awesome and 2) he is Concerned. Eliot and Parker start showing up when the kid gets in over their head. After a while the kid catches on and there is Bonding and they sort of adopt the kid. They have to stop Vigilante-ing, but not before some article about a three-part superhero team in Portland goes viral. Sophie and Nate call to laugh at them (and then meet their new not-grandchild). 

“The Let’s Go Punch A Nazi Job” Nate’s priest friend contacts them because the temple of his rabbi buddy is getting harassed and vandalised by local neonazis. Everyone punches nazis. Even the priest.

[unseenphil]

“The Tabletop  Job” - The crew infiltrates a livestreamed RPG session to find out who’s responsible for misdirecting pledged funds earmarked for a charity. Hardison is either a very good or very bad GM.

[digitaldiscipline]

“The Mellow Submarine Job” (or “The Mile High Job”) - A local dispensary is getting fucked with by Big Pharma for hybridizing a strain that offers spectacular pain management (similar to “The Hot Potato Job” (s4e5)). Eliot hears of it because one of his military buddies is being denied coverage for trying it. Hardison uses the worst Jamaican accent ever.

“The Florida Man Job” - FEMA is fucking over hurricane victims. Parker somehow finds an excuse to base jump off of the Mickey Mouse power tower. Hardison spends most of the episode asking Eliot if increasingly-deranged news articles about the eponymous character were actually things he did.

“The Pinball Wizard Job” - Corporate-sponsored gamers are cheating at an e-sports league championship. Much to the team’s chagrin, they have to get Chaos involved.

“The Moscow Mule Job” - Radioactive Russian vodka is being used to sicken an independent distillery.  Eliot punches out a thinly-veiled Vladimir Putin stand-in. Sterling has a cameo as a James Bond pastiche to introduce Parker to an even-less-thinly-veiled Tr*mp stand-in. Hardison temporarily suspends “No-Stabbing Wednesdays”.

[aside: “The Model Job” is similar to “The Runway Job” (s2e10) and “The Picket Fence Job” is evocative of one of my favorite X-Files episodes ever, “Arcadia” (s6e15)]

[terriblelifechoices]

“The Harlequin Job” - The team goes up against a shady publishing company that uses MFA students to produce romance novels but refuses to give them credit or fair pay for their work.  Hardison writes a romance novel.  Parker traumatizes Eliot by reading a list of euphemisms for various genitalia.  (Hardison totally gets a book deal.)

[mindboogling]

I don’t really know how to describe this feeling other than stressful, so I decided to draw it

Please let me draw and “sketchnote”

[marsupials-of-mars]

Ugh I know it

[incognito-princess]

“If you’re drawing you’re not listening.” Absolutely untrue!! It’s ‘optimum arousal’. It’s why people can sing along to the radio while their driving to work and not worry about missing turns, but they need to turn down the music to navigate to a brand new address. Driving to work has become muscle memory and you actual need an outside stimuli to keep you’re brain paying attention. You need more brain power to navigate something new, so the music is now a distraction.

Same thing with people who listen better while doodling. If you’re an auditory learner you need something to occupy your vision and kinestics to optimally listen to what you’re supposed to learn. Auditory learners listen better when doodle- fact! 

(fyi- I’ve been a teacher for 16 years. I know what I’m talking about.)

[allyallyct6]

As someone who ‘writes’ while sitting in lectures. This is me. I am not writing notes. My brain doesn’t work that way. I have to write something completely unrelated to what is being discussed, but I remember my lectures enough to be able to cite them if needed in a paper....... so fuck off teachers who tell me to listen and nothing else. I know how my brain works damnit!!

“it’s just a parking lot”

exactly. there’s nothing there. not a statue. not a plaque. nothing.

[irishfino]

[drives over hitler’s death site]

[nichtschwert]

Bloody amazing.

And you know what’s right next to it?

That’s right, the Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden, which translates to the Memorial for the murdered jews.

So if you wanna go have a look at the monument commemorating the victims of Hitler’s regime, you can park your car right on the spot he died and walk there.

Makes ya think, doesn’t it?

[bucketslutz]

Germany: *has a literal parking lot over Hitler’s death site and has the memorial for the murdered Jews right next to it*

America: *has statues and museums dedicated to people who believed slavery was so amazing and good they decided to make their own country and murder anyone who disagreed*

[imagesofperfection]

Women, the streets near the car park are named after:

Gertrud Kolmar - German Jewish poet murdered in Auschwitz

Hannah Arendt - famous German Jewish philosopher and author, her works on totalitarianism, authority and the nature of power, who fled Nazi Germany in 1933

Cora Berliner - German Jewish economist and social scientist murdered in Trostinets extermination camp

reblog this forever 

[garlic-slut]

It’s funny too cause people argue that you “can’t erase history” and that’s true. You can, however; choose how you commemorate it.
