What a weird thing to do.

Zionazis will constantly talk about how they don't like Mamdani or want him around but then do this because he refuses to March in your Nazi parade.

The same parade that Bezalel Smotrich, who has repeatedly said he wants every child in Palestine murdered, also marched in.

This is creepy levels of obsession

[Image ID: Text reading: viewing queer identities as "this is the label that makes me happy and feels most accurate now" rather than "this is who I am, was, and always will be" will definitely take the pressure off, friends. changing your mind is proof that you have one. /End ID]

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.

Notice how Max wears alot of baby pink and lighter colours that are associated with innocence.

When his mother walks into his room with the vaccum the light on his face shifts from pink to red when he turns away from her to look at where he stashed the left over drugs

Notice that his mother (in the first trial scene) is wearing the same shade of green that the drugs are

this is now a max hastings hate account

[clericallyinsane]

i just read someone requesting a max hastings x reader fic. y'all cannot be serious.

[kweerdragon]

I think we as a fandom just ignore the fact that Ravi got into a fight with Sal the night before he was killed.

Dude imagine how much that fucked him up.

[sarabankesley]

the indescribable rage i feel watching the new agggtm fans edit max hastings.

mind you, i’ve even seen people shipping pip and max. im so done.

Finished watching A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder season 2 and I have thoughts about Lauren. She’s not a good friend: takes Cara to a party where people have gotten raped and then leaves her alone so she can go be with this dude (Robin). Supports said dude who is the cousin of a rapist when he is very clearly trying to steal evidence that Pip has on her phone. Takes Robin’s side when he says Max is innocent when he is very clearly not. This girl is not a good friend.

I love the idea of Rocky extending Grace’s lifespan to Eridian levels without telling him

Stories to pass the time 🚀

[cloudabserk]

the book scene where dubois and shapiro tell grace they’re having sex is really interesting. it’s not just that’s he’s uncomfortable talking about sex (although he very much is) it’s that he doesn’t understand why they would have sex if one of them is guaranteed to die in space soon. they kind of included this in the movie (when he asks stratt why everybody is partying and hooking up if they’re all gonna die)

there’s another line that stood out to me in the book, where amnesiac grace initially finds his dead crewmates, and he goes “i hope they weren’t friends of mine!” which imo is a crazy thing to say upon finding two corpses

it’s not just that grace avoids forming close relationships, it’s that he avoids it (in part) in order to avoid experiencing loss. really interesting character trait especially knowing he has no immediate family (did they die? is that why he’s like this?) not even a pet (is he scared the pet will die?)
