A Life of Awesome

Hi I'm Sophie! Welcome to my blog. I live in Scotland, I'm 19 and currently a student (such fun). This is kind of a cross fandom, political, random blog. Just me rebloging what I like. Hope you enjoy!

I don’t want to live any longer in this world of “the customer is always right.” This is a world that shows the aggressive, the bull-headed, the cruel that they have full license to behave like beasts to get what they want. Half the time, they’re even rewarded for it; “here, ma'am, so sorry for the trouble, please accept this gift card–no charge.”

I want to live in a world that punishes these childish adults as you punish a toddler throwing a tantrum. No candy for you, Jimmy; you’re going home to bed if you can’t mind yourself in public.

Throw a hissy fit because your cashier isn’t moving as fast as you’d like? Find yourself gently escorted from the store until you can show some basic compassion and patience.

Hurl a pen across the table at your signing agent? You’ve just forfeited your right to refinance your mortgage this week. Try again when your temper is managed.

Scream obscenities at the Taco Bell rep because you know it’ll earn you a free soft shell? Here’s your money back; please feel free to play again when you’ve realized fast food is not worth more than the price of human dignity.

I am so sick of accepting–and, in truth, rewarding–these callous behavior patterns in customer service industries. The fact is, the customer is not always right. The customer is often just testing to see what he can get away with. Stop pandering to spoiled children, and show your employees they have more value than their red polo, or how much abuse they can withstand in a 40-hour week.

We are here to provide a service and to make a living.

We are not your punching bags.

yesterday i saw this billboard at the train station and it threw me for a loop man

it was so weird seeing the setup flipped; where the women are the ones in loose, professional clothing striking intense poses wearing intense expressions

and then there is one man in an elegant, formfitting outfit with a strict pose and attractively neutral expression with a cutesy hand gun and generally unsuitable equipment solely for eye candy

Listen, Ghostbusters passes every test I can think of for the treatment of women in media.

Bechdel Test: All the women have a lot of conversations about things other than men. Like ghosts, and cadavers, and technobabble.

Sexy Lamp Test: None of the women can be replaced by a sexy lamp and have the plot remain intact.

Mako Mori Test: All the women have a narrative arc about busting ghosts and gaining respect, with the separate arc of Erin and Abby re-gaining their friendship, and neither arc supports a man’s story.

Furiosa Test: The movie pissed off manbabies on the internet.

Basically, this movie is a gift.

I am a HUGE fan of the Furiosa Test.

can we just talk abt how amazing the ghostbusters are for a second and how supportive they are like erin saw a ghost when she was eight but no one believed her and kids constantly bullied her and taunted her calling her ghost girl and she didn’t have any friends until abby came along and abby was the first person to ever look at her and say “i totally believe in you and i dont think ur crazy” no questions asked abby believed in erin from day 1!!!! and erin finally found someone who understood her and abby has never once wavered on her beliefs. years and years of hate and being told that what she believed in is childish she never gave up she never stopped believing bc she didn’t care abt what others had to say and like when patty comes and says she was chased by a ghost abby welcomes her into the group with open arms 100% ready to believe her and like when we first see patty she’s just kinda lonely down in the subway and she tries to reach out to ppl but they don’t give her the time of day but then she meets the other girls and she becomes a part of a group that listens to her and loves her and like holtzmann didn’t rlly fit in with the other kids when she was younger but along came abby who accepted her and became her first real friend and then she met erin and patty and the group became her first real family that loves her the way she is and she’s just so happy to have a home and i just love how supportive they are of each other and i love that they all love each other and believe in each other and that they all have a place where they feel like they belong

What people think social anxiety is: hi. im cutely shy :)

What social anxiety actually is: hi. I live in a perpetual state of self hatred and embarrassment.

dumbledore for rio 2016

[thearcherballet]

i’m sorry i’m reblogging again, but like where did dumbledore learn to swim like that? are we to assume that dumbledore lowkey swims in the lake at Hogwarts and outswims the Giant Squid or something? is that why he’s on speaking terms with the merpeople living in the lake? so they can let him practice his Michael Phelps-like perfect breaststroke? if so, there must be groups of students that secretly watch him, bc teens are weird. these are questions that will keep me up tonight, kayla.

[thearcherballet]

are we to assume that dumbledore has a ripped swimmer’s bod under that fab clothing? dumbledore disguised as a hogwarts student: i heard that dumbledore has an 8 pack. that dumbledore was shredded.

 So, Yahoo bought Tumblr. I am very sad now. Tumblr was my life source. It kept me alive for so long and now… I don’t even know what to do. I can feel my body becoming weak. You ruined it Yahoo. I don’t even want to use Tumblr now if it’s going to be run by you. I might as well start planning my own funeral because I don’t know how long I will live without my power pack. Yes, I referred to Tumblr as my power pack. Why, you might ask; because when I’m not on Tumblr the world feels all wrong, but when I’m on it, I feel my energy rise. It kept me going and now you have taken that away. Great job! I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. Do you feel good about yourself Yahoo? Does it feel good taking away millions of peoples life source? What do we have to live for now? Yes, I know David Karp is the CEO still, but come on! You’ll probably just boot him out eventually. You suck Yahoo! You absolutely Suck! Oh, and by the way David Karp… We are no longer bffs. You’re not even an f. You’re just a b and it doesn’t stand for best. How could you let this happen? I thought we’d be tight forever. Now look what you’ve done. You have made the Tumblr population very sad. You should be ashamed of yourself. You hear me? ASHAMED!

forget saving the wizarding world, naming his firstborn after them, heading the auror office, etc., I would love to see the reunion/conversation in which dead Harry tries to explain to his dad and godfather that he named his other son after snape

[persephoneed]

#he saved me dad #he sold you out to fucking voldemort son #he loved mum dad #so did our cat you wanna name a kid after him harry #he spied for dumbledore dad #he participated in mass murder and only switched sides because he felt guilty for causing your mum’s death son #he was the bravest man i ever knew dad #that is because you didn’t know me you tosser (via prongsmydeer)

#sirius refuses to speak to harry for a very long time and when harry tries to talk to him#sirius just gives him the dirtiest look #the dirtiest most disgusted look#(and he’s good a pretty good disgusted look) #and says#harry i tried i really did i lived in a cave for you i ate rats for a while and this is how you return the favor#harry’s like ‘but i named one of my kids after you i think you’re brave’#and sirius just looks at him #looks at him and says#’have you met remus fucking lupin
