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.

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

[stjohnstarling]

I think the battle is long since lost on what the “-coded” suffix means, but I (old movie guy specifically invested in queer coding) seem to be unable to let go of how annoying I find the fuzzy popular use of the term. This is probably a flaw in my character.

[stjohnstarling]

Coding is intentional, it’s a way of communicating indirectly with the audience through a shared language of signs. That’s why it’s called coding, because it’s communicating in code. It isn’t when a thing reminds you of another thing.

thoughts about whumpee being told "Look at me when I'm speaking to you-" because classics are classics:

- Wrenching Them Up By The Hair™. The Classic. beloved.

- Pain so sudden it startles them into looking

- Do they have a collar of some kind? perhaps with a loop? Something to hook your finger into to pull? Or just a leash, I'm not picky.

- Tip of a blade under a chin. Or muzzle of a gun. any weapon. incredibly goofy with a morningstar.

- speaking of muzzle- have you considered: hooking a finger into whumpee's gag and/or muzzle and pulling? because i have. i have.

- Simply grabbing whumpee's chin. Bruisingly Tight.

- Beating whumpee up until they've learnt respect

Fandoms stopped being a fun escape from reality when people started spreading the belief that you should prioritize purity over pleasure and the art you create must be a reflection of your moral standards at all times.

also essential: make a substantiative comment. your comment must point out a specific reason why the datacenter does not benefit the state. "datacenters are bad/nobody wants ai" won't quite cut it. a high volume of comments does very little. your goal should be to force the state to acknowledge practical and legal problems in their decision.

point out that this datacenter currently has not proven that it can acquire the natural gas necessary to power itselg.

point out that the long-term economic benefits of this datacenter will amount to creating a mere double-digit number of jobs that will likely go to seasonal workers from outside.

if someone points out that this is being permitted by the division of oil and gas, which has no reason to have jurisdiction over a datacenter except for the half-baked excuse of building a gas pipeline for power, that would also be effective.

do a little research, look up the article about this by Nathaniel Hertz (can't link now; he writes The Northern Journal)(edit: sorry, it's also the one OP linked), maybe go above and beyond by reading a bit of AS 38.05, and if you send in a comment, make sure it points to a flaw in the process or a reason this project is not in the state's best interest to permit.

what people don’t understand about how adhd is disabling is that it’s not just getting temporarily distracted from, like, school work or hobbies. it’s getting distracted/being unable to motivate yourself to go to the doctor, eat regularly, do hygiene tasks, etc. it’s not knowing when or how long it will take you to do something, ANYTHING, and in many cases that thing is taking a shower or keeping your house from turning into a biohazard. it’s about being fundamentally incapable of controlling your attention and focus on anything, even and especially things you need to do to survive.

FYI, spambots have realized this is not the site to try and catfish as hot girls on (not that we don't appreciate hot girls) and are now posing as fandom blogs with some actual posts in them to try and make themselves look legit.

The blogs will likely be a few days old and have some fandom-adjacent posts on them that look as if they they were all reblooged at once (check the timestamp).

(you can also tell they're fake b/c you can scroll to the end of their posts, unlike a true Tumblr user, who's blog is an unending abyss of scrolling).

They'll comment something like this on one of your posts:

But do not be fooled by the anglerfish's flashing lure, the bot lurks beneath.
